Great, can’t wait to try out the changes :)

Well, other patch-links than torrent? Most of us normal ppls don’t use T’s.

Whats so hard to download uTorrent and just use it?

Hey, “normal people” also use torrent. More DL links will come in a few days as well.

Torrent is a great delivery method and I wish more would use it for mods.

Thanks for the update CTDP. Looking forward to trying this out.

Raikku: Well, other patch-links than torrent? Most of us normal ppls don’t use T’s.

I would say more and more “normal” people use torrents. Torrenting has no legality issue and many big sites are using it as another distribution method, i rather prefer CTDP to release like this.

I love the support for what already is one of if not the best mods in rfactor.

Thank you CTDP for this great update.

Now go and work on 1994. And don’t come out of your rooms until you’re finished!

@JGoenR:
If you send Pizza everyday, we may consider your suggestion.

v1.2… hmmm… What about announced Monte-Carlo`06 by CTDP track?

I dl my mp3/porn/softs from normal servers, never use T’s, and never will.

Moron Rapidfuck is better for you or what?

Most of us normal ppls don’t use T’s.

This is the most bizarre thing I’ve ever read. So if that’s Your definition of ‘normality’ I don’t want to be normal

Eeeow, you watch porn? You’re definitely not normal!

hehehe … ”normal ppl” is dumb as fcuk and pays for rapidcrap accounts lol

Mitos: v1.2… hmmm… What about announced Monte-Carlo`06 by CTDP track?

What about enjoying what we have instead of always asking for “what’s next?”, once in a while?
It’s a pleasure to see the patch released again on torrent: my speed was always the max my connection allows and now I’ve reached a 1.4 level of seeding.

Raikku: I dl my mp3/porn/softs from normal servers, never use T’s, and never will.

What about evolving into a 2010 normal people who knows how to use the internet properly?

Is it just me or does the installer feel really bloated? Unzipping the file took ages, and then my PC slowed to a crawl afterward.

Hendrix: Is it just me or does the installer feel really bloated?Unzipping the file took ages, and then my PC slowed to a crawl afterward.

No problems at all here: unzipping the file took me 55 seconds, but I think it’s a reasonable time when we talk about a 1,3 Gb file.

Uff:

Weird. For me it hung at 99% for a while.

something is fucked with this package… Unrar freezes at 99% and Explorer crashes…
Only got it descompressed and installed after rebooting at safe mode. weird…

Sorry, but there is nothing “fucked” with the package. We tested unpacking and installing so many times. I know however from the past that depending on the system some people needed more patience than others, most likely due the large file size (or additional software running in the background). I had to recognize that myself when I switched from my former to my current PC.

Everything worked great for me! The torrent was nice too… 2 MBPS download is better than 300kbs at rapidshare, megaupload etc.

Also this is my first run with this mod despite all the sim racing I do, and it is just fantastic! Thanks!

I think starting the release via torrent is the best to do because the number of people downloading the package is large. In a few days this will probably change but then DL serves won’t crash due to the lower traffic. So it’s best to take the opportunity right after release and get the stuff via torrent.

Oi, some of us Mac users do understand the benefit of Bittorrent for file downloads you know :P

Downloading quite happily for me – can’t wait :)

Uff, are U from CTDP team?

Mitos, does it matter ? He’s right and you know it. CTDP bring out an update to one of the best F1 mods we have for rFactor and all you can do is whinge that its not Monaco.
They are not working to your timetable you know and nor do they owe you a time or date for any other projects they may be doing.
Get over yourself while enjoying F1-2006 V1.2

THX1138

He is not.

Concerning torrent-releases, I expressed my point of view a year ago when we release 1.1: http://devblog.ctdp.net/?p=971

Torrent is BEST. Much better then rapidshit. Thanks CTDP.

Very wittily, F1Racer… It was question, only. I`m enjoying F1-2006 V1.1 & no have a problem. But, Monte-Carlo`06 by CTDP like the part of modification & only one way to get quality modern variant of this track. No news about it & therefore I`d like to ask… SRY1139. THX1138 to CTDP team.

OK. Might have been better though if you’d actually commented on this update before asking about Monaco. Would’ve come across better.

CTDP is the best of the best. SFL is amazing and F106 wuaooooO!!!!! and as you cans ee they don’t sleep it. They don’t just made mods. They do art and tech :)

F1racer making friends as usual.

Wil: something is fucked with this package… Unrar freezes at 99% and Explorer crashes…

The drive your TEMP file resides on may be smaller than the expanded file size. That’s typically the reason an archived file will fail under conditions like this.

Danny: F1racer making friends as usual.

He does make a point, every single time.

I have to agree with you that he doesn’t need to comment on every idiot. There are just too many ignorant, stupid and plain rude people commenting here. Not worth the hassle commenting on them. It’s not like it’s gonna help even a tiny bit.

OMG first I could not run rfDynHUD and still not work (WIN7-x86) and not even that. At 99% it freezes when decompressing.

F1Racer: Might have been better though if you’d actually commented on this update before asking about Monaco.

F1Racer, I`m asking when I want it. If U can to help me, answer to my question pls. If not, don`t teach me how I must to live pls. I don`t need rfDynHUD & v1.2(at least for now). Nevertheless, I appreciate(always) this hard work. It`s second release of CTDP for this week & I remembered about their announced Monte-Carlo`06. I’ve already written it.

TomHolland: I have to agree with you that he doesn’t need to comment on every idiot.

You are very “intelligent” young “gentleman”… My “congratulations”.

Mitos, I know what you’re asking and I am hardly telling you how to live your life. Getting a bit over-dramatic there. But let my try and explain this to you.

Mitos: v1.2… hmmm… What about announced Monte-Carlo`06 by CTDP track?

This to me sounds like you’re just brushing off the V1.2 update in order to ask about something off-topic. How about a little aknowledgment for CTDPs work. If you don’t need CTDP V1.2 then fine. Go to CTDPs website and ask them about Monaco there. Or do it here if you want but it’s only politeness to at least asknowledge the V1.2 update as that is what this thread is about.
It must be kind of frustrating for CTDP to release V1.2 after their work on it only to be asked ‘what about Monaco 06?’ or ‘where is F1 1994 mod’. Its like a some people are never satisfied or as if CTDP should be working to your personal ways.
Just comes across a bit insensitive to me, thats all. Apart from that, feel free to be as much of an idiot as you want. (You’ve admitted to being one by the way you responded to TomHolland – and what was with the quotes on the words ? Weren’t you being sincere? )

F1Racer: Apart from that, feel free to be as much of an idiot as you want.

Thank you for this permission. U’re the chief of this state…

It wasn’t a permit. I was just proving to you that I wasn’t trying to tell you how to live you’re life. You are free to do as you wish as we all are. But don’t expect to sail through life while doing so.

awesome!.. thanks CTDP for the hard work…

how does this update compares to FSONE 08? anyone?

(btw i’m a mac user and also use torrents all the time , but i also use windows and linux so i guess i dont count as “normal ppl”)

Thank you for all your dedication CTDP!!! And btw, Torrent was undeniably the perfect choice for an initial download

Mitos: Uff, are U from CTDP team?

As Dahie said, I’m not. I was just pointing out what F1Racer said too: asking about other works when such a big update is released looks like a lack of respect to the guys who worked hard for bringing us this patch.
If you say it was just a question, then my apologies for misunderstanding it.

About installation problems, I have to say that I experienced none: less then 1 minute to decompress (try to install the latest WinRar version: it may help) and no problems at all during installation.

Just a quickie question… do you need to install this 1.2 update fresh or can you install it over the top of the previous install ?

I installed it over the top of the previous version and I’m having some probs when going into a test session with a full grid of cars. It’s making rF CTD when I click to go onto track (pretty much just after it says ‘data aquisition is off’.

Tried it with other mods in case it was the rfDynHuD plugin but they load up ok.

F1Racer: Just a quickie question… do you need to install this 1.2 update fresh or can you install it over the top of the previous install ?

Being a full release with changes from the previous version it’s always better (or probably I should say necessary) to remove the 1.1.

Thanks for this wonderful Mod.

And the torrent delivery is very much appreciated. Great download Speed and the size of the Mod does not matter anymore.

Ok I did a complete fresh reinstall of V1.2.

But again, I am still getting the CTDs just after you hear the engine start up when you go to grid and just before it draws up the rfDynHUD overlay.
So I moved the rfDynHUD.dll file from the plugins folder and fired up rF again and CTDP V1.2 worked perfectly. So its some clash with the HUD mod.
Yet, the HUD mod works fine if I select other mods.

EDIT: rfDynHUD and FSOne08 clash for me too. Seems the D3D9.dll file is causing some severe graphical issues on the cars and CTDs follow that.

EDIT2: Also looks like the CTDP V1.2 uninstall blitzed my realfeel.dll and realfeel settings file. I mean jeezus !!!!

I have this problem with CTDP’s ChampionShipManager NX:

http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/5672/dibujoqd.jpg

Someone how knows to fix?

I’m having a blast driving these cars. I’m using the default “very low traction control” in vehicle upgrades, and “low Antilock brakes” and “low traction control” in the in-game difficulty settings. Is this a fair mix?
-How can I fix the VR.exe error? I have installed the speech thingy. I don’t plan on using the speak thing, so any way to fix?

WinXP SP3
.NET Framework 3.5 also
SAPI5SR

I think there is no fix for the VR.exe error, but I thought it’s restricted to 64 bit OS (or Vista?)?

@GeraArg:
It’s better to ask such specific and technical question in the CTDP forum and, if you do so, please add some more information.

@F1Racer:
Personally, I have only tested CART98 and PCC07 with the plugin, but both worked without noticable issues. I also do not have any issues with CTDP 1.2 and both releases of the DynHUD plugin. All I know is that I had strange problems in the past when installing too many mods in one rF folder. That’s why I started to make a fresh rF lite installation for each mod.

Now concerning your missing realfeel.ini, I was a bit shocked when I saw your comment. However, it’s very strange because I have just “sacrificed” my latest v1.2 installation but my realfeelplugin.ini is still there and the F1 2006 FFB values I generated in the Control Center as well (inside the file). I checked the uninsxx.dat file and, indeed, I found the .dll (hm, no drama but shouldn’t be, I think) but not the .ini file. Honestly, I don’t know what went wrong and I can only apologize and hope you can recover your original settings.

I think you can even delete the VR components folder. But please first try moving it to another location and see how it works.

Hi Andreas,
Yeah I do have quite a few mods in my rF so I think I will go the way of a new install and pass over my profile, tracks and setups.
Then I will install the mods I play most and leave the rest until I want to play them. I might even do 2 installs. One of frequently played mods and another where I install all the others and not worry if anything happens to it.
No worries with the realfeel config file. Its gone. I know I had it on last nights install because I used the CTDP Control Centre to add the realfeel settings to my realfeel config file and checked it after to make sure it added it ok and it did. Since then, the only thing I uninstalled was CTDP06 V1.2 to do a fresh install of it as I initially installed it over the top of the previous version. This morning I noticed realfeel.dll and the config file were nowhere to be seen. So maybe I put 2 and 2 together and got 5 but I can’t imagine what else could have caused it. It is weird as you say.

But it’s not really a big deal to rebuild the file again. I used default values a lot anyway. Anyway I find when you have to rebuild something again, you always seem to do it better than the last time.

Thanks for the update anyway. CTDP06/MMG07/FSOne08 are the perfect 3 season combo.

Maybe one more comment. I’ve just re-installed and actually no plugin.ini is created in the root folder. The ini is either generated if the plugin is run for the first time or if you write the recommended realfeel values in the CC. Therefore (and as the ini is not in the unins00.dat) I don’t think it could be uninstalled. Glad to see that your loss was not too severe.

@GeraArg:

Done.

OK. Let’s hope our programmers are not on holiday because I cannot help you with this.

AndreasT: OK. Let’s hope our programmers are not on holiday because I cannot help you with this.

No problem with the time!!!!!!!!!!

OK so I did a clean install of rFactor (about time), and CTDP06 V1.2 now works with rFdynHUD.
However FSOne08 refuses to for some reason, so I guess there’s not much to be done about that except disable the HUD plugin when I want to race that mod.

As FSOne 2008 is very popular, I gave it a try with a clean rF lite installation, FSOne v1, and rfDynHUD v1.0.1 (at default settings). Indeed there seems to be a problem. On Toban I could only drive with a maximum number of 17 AI, i.e. 18 cars in total. Anything above crashed to desktop. Unfortunately, there is no hint in the DynHUD logfile.

But I did not yet want to give up and changed my display settings to the following (from top to bottom):
Full / High / High / Full / x4 / Full / Max / Off

With these settings I could run Toban with a full 22 car grid. I think setting car details to High instead of Full has the biggest impact. However, I don’t know what will happen on slower systems and other tracks.

I can try that then (on other tracks), cos I have everything on Full at the moment.

You could also start the task manager and have a look at what it says. Rfactor might be using its entire 2GB memory space and crashing when it runs out (it is a 32-bit process.) That has happened to me lots of times but usually when I am running fifty or more cars which is usually the case. This is the main reason I put 4GB of RAM in my machine because I usually have about 2.6GB available to the game so it can use its full 2GB. With 2GB of system RAM I would have about 1.5GB available to the game and it would run out much more often.

Before we get too much off-topic, let me tell you we will look into that issue in more detail, but I cannot predict how this will work out.

Vince, I’m running with 6Gb RAM on my rig but obviously 32bit apps don’t address that far as their limit is 4Gb. But its only a 22 car grid as is CTDP06.

My rigs main specs are Core i7-930 quad clocked to 4.00Ghz, 6Gb triple channel DDR3 1600Mhz RAM, Nvidia GTX-480, Gigabyte EX58A-UD5 Intel X58 mobo (Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit)

Useless info but she’s my new render/gamer baby

Sorry to wander off topic still farther but normal 32-bit user-mode apps have an address space of 2GB in 32-bit and 64-bit OSs. That is summarized on this page : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366778(VS.85).aspx

Oops, 2Gb limit of course it is. I knew that :) Dunno what I was thinking when I put 4Gb :) I know it because on my old XP system I had 4Gb of memory and only 2.75Gb was being given to the system and the rest was given to other hardware like my gfx card.

So yes, quite right, 2Gb addressing limit on 32 bit.

I have no doubt this will be a blast when I get my new computer – right now on a computer that gets 40fps with most rFactor mods I am getting 3 fps at Monaco…

Excellent version. All improved. Physics hyper :)
