Brilliant, absolutly brilliant.

Big thanks to LMT who have been hounded for a long time now to release a mod. Shame it’s not the full mod, but the F60 is stunning and a pleasure to drive, and we have FSONE 09 coming so can’t complain really :D

Great present for us to play with in the off-season and beyond :]

Thanks pleb, I was against us releasing even a demo, but as long as the community likes it. Its all cool. Enjoy Guys

Minor thing: steering wheel can be a bit darker and more glossy

Danke, ich liebe F60 von LMT Team

I think something is wrong with mine….lol. I have pretty much the best gaming computer you can build, and I get well over 600fps with everything on full in rFactor with a full field of cars in CTDP at FSOne’s version of Monaco. With this mod, I’m sitting by myself in the pits at FSOne Monaco with 12 fps….lol. I’m going to reinstall it, and see what it does.

If I select the default car, everything is fine.
But when I selected Massa’s car, with moving arms, worn hard tyres, a different carshape (the one with the latest wheelcaps on the front), then it crashed on track loading at every track I tried.

Good lord. I have an above-average setup and this destroys my frame rate completely. Had to turn down my settings a LOT to make it drivable.

That said, this is so far beyond the quality of any F1 mod I’ve ever played.

Amazing mod! really difficult, i love it!
Big thanks for this.
The TCam (even if it’s like actual TV footage) was too near for me.
I’ve just allow me to make an alternative one, if someone had the same problem as me, you can paste this:

LocalCam=TVCOCKPIT
{
Fov=(63.000000, 63.000000)
Clear=TRUE
Color=(164, 218, 249)
ClipPlanes=(0.2000, 500.000000)

}

Big thanks again, team LMT.

Finally a top quality 2009 car that feels fantastic to drive,difficult and on the edge.Top work LMT.
Cheers

Really professional work, bravo LMT, my rFactor keeps crashing everytime i try to load the track. Not to mention that the car on the spinner runs @ 15 fps and music sounds like it is under water. CPU usage… 400% ?!

How do i uninstall this… manually I can’t see any uninstaller, not in add/remove prog. and not in game root.

Hi RaYqUe,load up another mod in game,then leave the game and del the LMT_F1_Ferrari_2009 from your gamedata/vehicles folder and also del all 4 LMT_F1_Ferrari_2009 entries from your rFm folder.Then you will not see it anymore,pity you couldnt get it to run properly this is a fine bit of work.

I feel a bit dissapointed, i was waiting for this mod so long and i can’t run it. My Pc “eats” rF, Nords/50+ cars, Endu Series/50+ cars, etc. but this one not. :( I’m hoping for some fix or something…

what was this made to run with? IBM’s supercomputer?? Or maybe NASA’s Mars project supercomputers?? I bet this would crash Ferrari’s simulator back in Maranello!

bg-ai3: Thanks pleb, I was against us releasing even a demo,

uh really! and why is it?

felipe: uh really! and why is it?

Because some modders w/o permission would steal car physics, tire textures, arms, etc. Oh, none of this earth will run this properly, you need alienware lol.

Thanks..for the nice comments.. all glory to lam.alex and the lmt team and supporters…
It´s the first complete car from lam.alex .

@F1Racer.. i check it soon…thanks for the information.

@RayqUe what settings do you use? We only support DirectX9. you could try installing the mod into a clean rF lite with a new profile.

We know, that the track still has some bugs. for example the pitguy points to the wrong direction… hehe… a curb in the 2nd corner is missing… the upcoming v.1.0 of the track will contain these fixes plus it contains spectators. there is no release date for the 1.0 yet, since we are busy with other projects

I dont’ have use alienware Everything is fine on mine laptop Dell 1520 :) (Only new Singapore track from LMT has low FPS rate :/ )

a lot of mistake in car and track, to delete, u must do that manually, delete folders

I have 2 GTX295 graphic cards, EVGA 790i FTW motherboard, 8 gigs of G.Skill RipJaw ram, QX9650 Core 2 Extreme processor, 1000 watt power supply, Solid State Hard Drives, Asus Sonar sound card, Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, and a Blu Ray burner. All of that is hooked up to 2x Dell 23in Ultra Sharp monitors. 1 is in the middle, and 1 is on the right in portrait mode for my tool boxes and such for 3ds Max, and Photoshop. I normally get between 550, and 600 FPS in rFactor with all my graphics on high at a 1080 resolution with 22 cars at FSOne Monaco in CTDP 2006. My computer is well above average, and has some of the best parts you can buy in it. But somehow, I get 15FPS sitting still in a test session at FSOne Monaco in this mod!

I was actually looking forward to this mod because I’m a huge Kimi Raikkonen(Not so much Ferrari tho)fan, and was hoping I could get to drive a high quality version of his 2009 F60 since FSOne 2009 isn’t close to being finished yet. Then when I went into game, I was very disappointed to see that the mod was not even drivable for me with the type of computer that I have. So for now I’m going to uninstall the mod, and hope something gets fixed if there is any more releases/updates to this mod.

@Aaron

At least you can load the track, im getting CTD on every track loading.

@Remus

Ofc im running the game at Dx9 with everything maxed out, 1680*1050 res, all drivers updated, C2D @ 3.2Ghz, GTX 260/216, 2 Gb ram, XP Sp2, bla bla… I dont think it has anything to do with new installation, it must the LODs, textures or something, i have never seen anything like this, and i tried tons of ilegal/legal mods, with many hi-res tex, “hdr” etc. So this is the 1st time my rF failed to me.

Hmm.. i know some drivers in our league have problems with their actual GF cards… with the leaguemod..the f60 are inside.
We dont know why… some guys with lower hardware have no problems…like me(gf8800gtsq 1920×1200)..

They fix it..to install a 64bit system… vista64 or win7 64…

Firstly, i had me too a low FPS problem on Singapore 09 with F60.
I run XP SP3 32bit, direct X9, 1920×1200 on an intel dual core 3,06Ghz, 4G° Ram with Nvidia 8800GS 512M° (AAx8, anisotropic textures x16).
Secondly, i’ve set High shadows instead max shadows, and High opponents detais, instead complet opponents details, and i now have 30/40 FPS on singapore 09 with 3 AI drivers, it’s very good.
Don’t give up this incredible mod because your first computer set up don’t work.
The shadows seems to take lot of FPS, specialliy on Singapore.
Try to remove profil or intro movie or UIdata, it can works, and it worth the time you will spend setting your computer.
Hope it will help, bye…

Hmm I’m not having any issues at all and while I have the same powerful quad core extreme as AaronC (QX9650), it doesnt quite match him in the gfx dept as my card is an 8800GTX.
But in Sinapore with a Ferrari Im getting normal framerates. 60 while sitting in cockpit in the pits. Out on track in replay TV mode its in the hundreds.

Oh and Im on (for now) XP SP3 32bit.

Uhm right, the ingame shaddows must be on “middle” …the shadows are on the track. Thanks “YES”

Top Quality Mod, Top Quality Track, I have had no problems running either. The physics are incredibly challenging, and driving requres full concentration. Its very rewarding when you get used to the feel, and have to be smooth on the throttle.
I hope LMT will continue to release thier work to the wider community, as the F60 & Singapore track are both stunning. Well done LMT and Thankyou.

My game also crashes every time i try to load any track.
Other mods work with no problems, 100+ frames all the time. I have core2duo e8500, ggb ram, vista sp2 x64, gtx260 216sp, tvstyle, spotter 1.11.
What could be the problem here?

sennas, are you using the default car without changing any of the upgrades from the default ?

mine crashed when I selected different car upgrades. stick to the default car and try that.

Hm, I found out that it works in profile without special letters, like ~Isr~, which is wierd.
Otherwise nice mod, except I cant see mirrors in cockpit view and that is extremly annoying. Hope for a fix for this….Great job all, remus and all moders, keep them coming.

Thank you very much! Superb mod!

A guy on our forum found out that skins weigh more than 20 Mb, while usually they should be around 5 (or less): this may be one of the causes of bad frame rate when a lot of cars are on the track. Hopefully the team will look into this.

We know it.. ^^

core 2 6750 and 8800 Gt…F60 is awesome

THANKS !

doesn’t work 4 me…causing rF to crash while loading the track…tried on different tracks…every single other mod works fine…spec: A II x4 620, GTX 260 Windows 7

Hey Remus, is it true that you have given permisions to F1WCP, so they can use LMT F60 ?
http://www.f1wcp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=1480&sid=1d87040083f9f44a2d62a9b16feb3a4e
I doubt about it, can you confirm?

F1Racer:

Don’t use special characters in your game profile (example: *>!~). Without this it works for me, no problems.

thank u very much guys…creating a new profile did the job, although i did not have any special chars in previous. I think it has sth to do with the CTDP2006 modified profile.(may be wrong)…anyway works fine and thx 4 this

it is true, that you can use our Ferrari F60 for your league or public modifications, but please dont forget to mention us in the credits. A comercial usage is forbidden, for sure.

Congrats to #LMT for the Balls-of-steal-Award they deserve for releasing their F60-mod for #rfactor on the day #Ferrari takes down #Batracer

I think that a little more traction control would be nice. It’s very hard not to spin :) hehe

Remus: We know it.. ^^

Can we expect skin saved in DXT5 format in a future update? That would definitely help a lot on a full grid. ^^

with LeoFFB plugin feels better.

sennas: I think that a little more traction control would be nice. It’s very hard not to spin :) hehe

It’s easy to spin because the default setup is not ‘tuned’. Even by adjusting the Differential settings slightly, you can stop snap oversteer. Try putting your diff power setting upto around 25%, and the coast setting at around 30%.

To keep it simple, the higher these settings, the more the wheels will turn ‘together’ under braking/on the power, which equals greater traction/stability and straight line speed, the downside is that you cannot corner as quickly, because to corner quickly, the outside wheel needs to spin faster than the inside. (which wont be a problem at around the 25% range)

If people just took some time to read about the basics of an F1 car setup, they would have much more fun playing the game after having spent time gettin the car right for a given circuit. :]

thanks, did not have time for setups yet, but I like making them. Thanks for this….

Its kinda outdated now, but this pdf helped me heaps when I first started out mucking around with setups
http://www.tar.hu/neilszab/Advanced_F1_Setup_Guide_1.1.pdf

I would like it so we can use driving aids (ABS, TC, SC)

We dont know why… some guys with lower hardware have no problems…like me(gf8800gtsq 1920×1200)..

¨We dont know …. ¨ says it all

Nice car – in the showroom
but dramatic fps dropping when passing another F60
even with actual pc system and moderate settings

what a mess

Gaucho: ¨We dont know …. ¨ says it all

You forgot the second part!

This is only a singel car demo from highquality lmt leaguemod… to show what we do..and find out one new fast driver for season 2010… dont like it gaucho dont play it.

EAKMotorsports: fundimentals of car setup I know but I want to know about F1 setup.

The same principles still apply.

That page explains all you need to know about _how_ the settings will affect the car/balance/feel. They apply throughout motorracing, including F1.

Had to create a new profile to get the mod to load up with a track, without a crash to desktop.

Now it is working, I experience times when all disply information (HUD, rfactor car position line, rfactor framerate disply, gear indicator on car’s wheel) disappears for a long time… but then will magically come back for a while!

Is this happening for anyone else?

Personally I do not like the modern F1 mods and less if they do not support Realfeel, sorry guys, BUT!!!!! did an amazing job with Singapore!!!!!!!! Congrats!

lol, i’ve just seen the Flavio Briatore and Nelson Piquet Jr teasing on track’s TV screens…

Do you have an onboard vid of that lap? :]

I’m interested to see how he managed a 1.42 with that setup. I just tried it and the best i could managed with it was a 1.49, and it was slippy as hell having both front and rear wing at maximum (40/40) + 25 laps of fuel?!

Had to throw in some words and say that the physics are absolutely the best of any f1 mod according to me! Just wanted to give you some cred for releasing league mods! Hoping for more

Huh, creating a new profile did help to me. I’ ve tried to crate a clone profile and it didn’t work, you’ll need to crate a brand new profile, however the car on spinner still spins at low fps but nevermind… Back on track it runs perfectly, no slowdowns and stuff.

I’ ve noticed a cool feature in this mod. So, when you select wet conditions for the helmet, you may see the driver actually blinking with his eyes.
Is this a new feature that we’ve never seen before in rF? Just like with Toyota’s lights effect. It’s really cool.

Take a look:

Thats right..

unfortunatly I get nothing but CTD and trace error = bad gen string

Here your demanded onboard lap, Robin Mundhenk drove a lap for you around the singapore circuit and uploaded it to youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPeW3PwgRGw he did a lap on the VRRC server..no driving aids allowed there… a 1.41 is possible…

He doesn´t have mutch time, because suzuka practice is more importand..hehe

JGoenR: Rayque>> This feature is already included in FSONE 2008 mod.

Oh, ok than. As Remus said, credits goes to IPM. Btw, im looking foward for IMP’s 2009 mod, they’ve mentioned some new features, i wonder what is it :grin:

Excellent thanks for the vid Remus.

What about players which don’t have steering wheels and play on keyboard? With no traction control I’m rather not able to drive the bolid. All other F1 mods don’t have this problem. I don’t get it. Simulation all the way, right? I guess switchable traction control settings are hard to make. Thanx anyway.

this is probably the bet mod for rfactor ever made, Ive spent years on the 2007 f1 mod becasue nothing ever came close to this as far as real feel, & the new 2009 mod f1 was a joke as far as physics were concerned… well done guys, i notices the aerodynamic settings etc were out on this car had to adjust that & lots of other things.. been on istanbul & yes the car is much slower than the 2007 mod where you can naturally do a 1.26xxx, im sure ill get the times down further… it just feels delicious ! drifting is a breeze & the physics are BANG ON… its the first time ive actually felt like felipe, ill have to improve my spanish… & my accent..
again many thanks… next to have one with Kers yes?? thats if of course in 2010
we have it??

@hex LMT create only HQ mods for simracing.. oldhardware user, keyboard and gamepad drivers..please use other mods. Sorry.

@petepigottcom Use the temorary boost button..we use the XD Motec..so you can see how many from your engine is emty. The engine healt is made for 100% races…in race use only engineprogramm 1 or 2 and press every lap few seconds (not in corners^^) the temporary boost… thats our “kers” funktion.
best regards daniel

ridiculously “soapy” without aids

Hello I am using a keyboard for driving, so I can’t really drive the car :(……can somebody please make a TC on patch :D……….would be awesome…..thx

I really doubt that anybody would make that kind of patch for You. Pity though.

Why do you have problems with this mid not having TC? If you really want to race something like a sim, buy a wheel. There are good wheels for just 75€!

register for f60 challenge ends 22th november

@homerfreak: I don’t have to explain you, why I’m not having wheel. Maybe you explain me why this mod don’t have TC while others have instead?

F1 has had no traction control since 2008.

I found simple way to increase FPS by replacing skins in Ferrari folder and in form.mas. From 6 skins with 120 MB to 6 skins with 30 MB

Diromo: I found simple way to increase FPS by replacing skins in Ferrari folder and in form.mas. From 6 skins with 120 MB to 6 skins with 30 MB

How do you do this please.

By process of elimination, I found that it was this line in my plr (which I added for xUi showroom) that was causing the mod to crash when loading tracks:
Low Detail UI=”0″
Changing the value to 1 allowed the track to load, but I am also getting only 15 FPS.
