Is this rFactor 2 ? Looks nice, great work guys. :)

Well done Apex Modding! I enjoyed the physics and sounds a lot. Waiting for the rest of the package. Keep up the good job! ;)

OMFG. One of the most various racing series now in rF. Great. Apex is one of the few groups who know how to make proper physics. I still remember their immersive 288 GTO mod.

So for those two mirrors we either need to pointlessly register on a website or try and guess a login name and password.
I say pointlessly because 99% of people who aren’t signed up to racingfr will have to enter their details (or false details) just to access a mod and never use the site for anything else.  It doesnt help that it’s French either.

Would like to try the mod but Im not going to be forced to sign up anywhere to a site I`ll never use in order to get it.
Hopefully there will be a no restrictions link at some point.

Link 2 works just fine here, Without any password ect.
Starts downloading direct.

yeah, i think we need mirror link with direct access. i will make one today ;)

I get an error when I try to load the Lambo.
“Error loading texture 07_SBRT_15 for Material WCCARBODY”

Anyone else have this problem?

thanks dave.

may be a bad installation , can you check if you place the right folder at the right place?
sorry for my bad english

It’s easy to fix if you have some 3D editing program (for example 3DSimed). In this case material has wrong named texture I guess, should be “07_SBRT_1.DDS”, or “07_SBRT_15.BMP”. You can’t fix it by hand in notepad or etc. Wait for quick fix. I think authors are going after it in short time.

no need to edit nothing, after have dl the mod on one link, made a clean install of rfactor , decompressed and installed,the gallardo sbrt15 work perfectly.
he just need to check if he have install the right folder in the right place

First impressions: the cars look and sound fantastic.  Models are excellent, perhaps the best ive seen.  I did a quick race in the Corvette around Putnam Park, have to be really easy on the throttle, but only hit 4th gear on the straight.  Cant adjust the gearing (i guess on purpose).  Still beat all the AI cars.

Out of the box, so to speak, very impressed.

No, all looks fine. I checked it with 3DSimEd

Finally this mod is released. I’m bout to take it for a spin thanks Apex! Been waiting for this for quite awhile

UPDATE: Just gave this mod a try. I am loving the sounds & graphics. Vehicle physics feels very convincing too me as well. I’m really digging this Audi R8 LMS. I didnt have this car in rfActor (is this the 1st?). Great job, many thanks. Very very pro too me

The art looks good throughout. All very familiar to any FIA GT3 race goer or indeed, followers of British GT (GT3 rules). Sounds are of a good standard but maybe not as strong as those in Enduracers. Physics on the Porsche 997 (only car I’ve driven so far) seem a little odd with snap over steer. When I say “odd”, a spin in the first turn of the current Silverstone layout (the so called “Wing” circuit, first used for a GP this year) turning into the new first turn resulted in a spin at the apex of the turn. The spin itself is not the problem, still learning the tyres, but having gone through 360 degrees, the car ends up on the grass losing speed through the spin, but with increasing rate of rotation, then before the car halts, actually accelerating – picking up speed backwards, back toward the corner entry whilst the car is pointed toward the next corner. A bit strange to say the least.
Might be an error in the physics ???

Nice mod, thanks!!!!!!!!!!!  ;)

=-X wtf ^^ i never seen this situation with our mod, so i can’t tell you. are you sure your version of this track is clean ? i ask you this because we used standard slipcurves (who can explain your “moove”), so it looks like strange for me.

It’s not working to me! Exit with error… :(

O.k. Got it.
WCCARBODY Material od the Gallardo must be not or wrong defined for DX7 Shader.
When I use DX8 or DX9 in game all works well.
If anyone from APEX is reading this. Please check this again.

the mod is made for be used on dx9, like we specified on the gt3 site : http://www.apex-modding.com/index.php

and the shaders is only made to be used on dx9

Absolutely no problem here. I downloaded it from Ivan Patillon’s mediafire upload and extracted into a clean rF installation.

the mod is made for be used on dx9, like we specified on the gt3 site : http://www.apex-modding.com/index.php  
 
and the shaders are only made to be used on dx9 !!!

will check it out next time I run rFactor and post again if I find anything odd. Thanks FanLebowski.

I like the way the mod looks, getting used to how it drives, but can someone please tell me how to delete or disable the meni sounds? Thanks.

There is a folder called ../rfactor/uidata/GT3UIData/uisounds. Delete it and what remains is … silence – when you are not on track.

“I’m Loving it!”
Cars drive like you would imagine they would, good feel of weight shifting aswell.

Thank You Apex Modding!

Thanks!

Yep, probably the best feeling of all GT mods so far.

Hi,

a patch correting all signaled bugs is avalable here : http://downloads.xxxteam.fr/fiagt3/getpatch.html

Corrections that are included :
– External sound power of other drivers lowered
– Hearing of the starting engine of F430 and Gallardo corrected
– Left internal mirror of Gallardo does work
– Audi R8 not driving cameras corrected

Patch is doing an online mismatch due to sound corrections. Sorry for that.

Ferrari F430′s Ferrari’s Horse at the back of the car seems to be mirrored and need to be fixed.

Laissez ici votre commentaire en respectant les lois. Tout commentaire jugé inapproprié (agressif, raciste, diffamatoire, publicitaire, grossier, hors sujet…) sera supprimé

Its not a bug. It’s simply that this brand doesnt want people not giving money to them to use their brand. So it’s a deliberate choice to put the horse reverse.

I get a consistent error reading MAS file when I boot up RF after trying this.

Might be something to do with the Apex shader bit, as in the RF root file there is only a shader folder with not much in it, I also dont want to templated so never transfer these across to root.. All the other stuff goes in fine, but the game just will not load with this mod installed at the moment

Enjoying this mod so far, shame it does not seem to be getting much public server lovin’.

I have run into a couple problems. First when I start the game and choose a car I get an error message saying “error opening MAS file GT3_SHOWROOM.MAS”. Second, I get no engine/car sounds. any ideas what is wrong?
