Donington Park 1.0 – Released

Posted on July 8th, 2009 in rFactor – 18 Comments

[dd]Baule has released an rFactor version of Donington Park, bringing the former (and future) British Grand Prix venue from Simbin’s GTR2 to the simulation. The track has been equipped with a new AIW, new cameras, working nightlights and some new textures .

Located in North West Leicestershire, Donington Park was opened in 1931. The current layout is 4 kilometers long and features 12 turns, the track is currently undergoing heavy changes to once again host the British F1 Grand Prix in 2010.

Since this track is a conversion of GTR2, the release is equipped with a check to make sure you own a legal version of Simbin’s GT simulation. If you don’t, you won’t be able to use this track.

    For now I’m concentrating on GTR2 tracks, so Spa is on my list.

    Where does Simbin say it’s OK to copy content??

  • AeroMechanical

    They posted some guidelines a ways back on what was okay and what wasn’t. If there is a CD check in there most stuff is pretty cool.

    I can’t find the info off hand, but it’s on RSC. You should do a search there there to see what’s okay and what isn’t.

    You mean this?:

    In the past SimBin have applauded serious modding groups and have even employed the help of some as well as recruit new employees from the groups of talented individuals. We have every intention of supporting quality mods, customs skins and all the other changes that make our games come alive with the help of dedicated modding communities across the globe. GTR Evolution underlines this statement by being relatively easy to add new and unique content for.

    But… SimBin can no longer afford pouring funds into creating unique quality content for competing titles. Lately the mutual respect that used to exist seems to have vanished and now straight conversions between competing titles are done in a matter of minutes after we release a new game. Our Nürburgring and Macau are prime examples. Unless something is done to stop this we will no longer be able to afford creating quality content and with 10Tacle fresh in memory I think it is clear that some individuals in the simracing community are effectively ruining it for everyone by their actions and that there will be no more new titles unless this behavior is stopped.

    Straight conversions require little skill, no imagination and it is nothing but petty theft. True mod making is the addition of NEW, fresh and unique content to a title… not stealing content for use elsewhere. I hope all of you will consider this and take matters into your own hands by not allowing these conversions in your own community.

    This is a wake-up call. Things must change now if SimBin are to deliver any new titles on PC, and the change can only start with you dedicated simracers saying “enough” !

    If you have ideas on how to change the way things are at the moment or what can be done to ensure a more “fair” way of modding in the future then let us know, we are interested in solutions much more than in assigning blame. The alternatives are either lawsuits which we really don’t want to resort to, moving all developments to consoles where things are not stolen, or you guys taking up the challenge and create an environment in YOUR community where conversions are not accepted. If you agree with our stance in this, then let your concern be heard in those forums and gathering points where piracy seems to be an accepted standard.

    We hope you can make a difference in the battle against theft and piracy while allowing the true modders to create their works of art adding to the fun and enjoyment of everyone.

    These releases are okay with Simbin, otherwise they would have taken action to remove them a long time ago. Baule released other tracks a while back, CTDP has released Imola from RACE07 and so on.

    Any chance for a modern layout of Spa?

  • Uff

    And it’s good to have another good track on rF too: thanks Baule! :wink:
