GTR Evo Nordschleife for rFactor – Previews

Posted on August 27th, 2008 in rFactor – 35 Comments

Less than a week after the game’s release, what almost everybody expected has begun: Conversions of GTR Evolution’s content.

The biggest object of desire for the rest of the sim racing world is the accurate Nordschleife and it’s no surprise that conversions on that are already in progress. Com8 is doing the rFactor conversion of the Nürburgring Nordschleife, first progress shots of his work can be seen below.

    it’ll probably be good if com8 does it :)

    looks better than my personal conversion :smile:
    i will wait for this one :cool:

  • steve

    already with texture update ? im surprised . that is exactly what i (and many others) want . perfect .

  • ermax18

    This has to be frustrating for SimBin. I am curious what their take is on all these conversions. Hopefully they turn their heads seeing how they used to just be another mod team too. So far it is looking good.

    Hash key needed changing for GTR Evo but still using the same encryption. I suspect when it gets to lizard on pc games THEN we’ll see it taking longer to get stuff into other sim’s. As it might take 3dsimemd months to it easier to convert without lofting from GPU.

  • Racingfreak

    Great :grin:
    SlimJim is workin on the cars ^^
    So I don´t need to buy this game ;)

    @ermx18 Simbin might be okay with the conversions, but when they see @Racingfreak’s idiotic comment, they probably will change their mind.

    @Racingfreak What if everyone did that? Then Simbin would just fold, and we will eventually be without any new race sims.

    It is imperative that the rules are enforced about having the original game. We obviously can’t go on the honor system as Racingfreak points out.

    flips the world is bad .

    im wrong with the texture update right ?

  • steve

    …looks so different .

  • –ooooo–

    Racingfreaks attitude is the main reason why Simbin go to consoles. The sim community sure knows how to bite the hand that feeds them

    Racingfreak, you twat.

    i don’t like the Ring from GTR Evo as much as i like the Ring 2007 from Com8 and 6e66o.. Yes, maybe the SimBin Ring is more realistic-based, but it just feels less real as Ring 2007 feels. Don’t know why, but after GTR2 almost all new SimBin’s tracks look more “gamey”.

    I really hope that Com8 goes the same route as others, requiering a copy of GTR Evolution for the track to work.

  • DeDios

    Thanks really much for this track Com8… :smile:

  • Big Mike

    Maybe a stupid question, but what makes this version any more accurate? Is it laser scanned or anything like that? It does look great from those shots, but I enjoy what I’m driving now… I’m all for improvements but it feels like perfection now?

  • http://www.simscreens.blogspot.com 6e66o

    It´s not perfect, but more accurate then rF Nordschleife concerning track layout.

  • DeDios

    geggo, one question for u!

    are u involved in this conversion about textures? :smile:

  • Anonymous

    Tztz Stealfactor :twisted:

  • steve

    you just need to compare rl onboard videos on utube with the ns versions and youll see that the new ns is near to the real one . i dont talk about ambient and texture .

  • steve

    …rf ns makes fun but isnt perfect .

  • Com8

    do me a favour – buy the game, guys!

    the conversion will most likeley not have a DVD Check as there are several reasons against implementation…

    we want to bring the v2.2a atmosphere to Evo’s stunning trackbase! it’s not just a simple conversion, we’ll add wet versions, lots of atmosphere and even a 24h layout with nightlights and full GP track! so stay tuned (maybe i’ll release in stages as the layouts get ready)

  • DeDios

    thanks for news mate :shock: specially about 24H layout!

  • djoksa

    Great news. Thanks Com8

  • looneycooney

    Hey guys!
    I’m sure you all are pretty happy to see this..BUT!
    I can’t support this, in fact ..just aslong until you guys atleast wait for a release and get that dvd-chack up and running!
    Look at the reaction of SimBin on RaceSimCentral!!!
    Pls Com8 , i myself find it wonderfull to have a conversion afterwards and with the total support of SimBin and also with all our mutual respect.
    I do respect your work , but pls take your time to do it in the right way…I don’t accuse anybody of doing anything , just consider the position of our responsibility with their content.

    RaceDepartment.com and I guess other communities received a newsletter from SimBin which a part in it regarding conversions.
    Maybe check this out and reconsider this continuesly steeling of content from games. Get real, get create and support the simracing world instead of destroying it!

    IDT gave already a message some weeks ago, this has to end NOW!

    “do me a favour – buy the game, guys!”

    Do the sim racing community a favor and do not steal content from other titles. :evil:

    Realy a shame that some people in the community just do not seem to understand it.

    TIA,

  • DucFreak

    Just wondering when SimBin goes to console and no more games in PC from them, what are you guys going to rip next?

    …nK-Pro? …iRacing? (better run to Siberia after that!)

    This is exactly what gives rFactor a bad name!

    …extremely shamefull convert, even if aparently it hooses quality. (tut)

  • looneycooney

    Hey all!
    guys , i suggest you go for this discussion to rsc , we are NOT here to accuse anyone.
    I know for a fact Com8 had the best intensions..wasn’t everybody screaming and wondering when the first conversion was there!? think about that for a minute…these guys are not all to blame…
    @com8 and collegues …hey dude!
    I heard your looking for a dvd/cd/code..too bad our team can’t help , but i guess they have explained it to you.
    I do repect what you do and i’ve known your nick for a while now.
    I just posted it , to warn you about the simbin’s letter.
    I do find it a pity , honestly ..but then again i also do understand simbin’s situation.
    I hope we all get this sorted out though , as you know i’m in the historx-modteam , but talk in my own behalf.(Rantam only speaks for the team!) And also we are carefull and stay focussed to see what is actually happening.
    I honestly do hope you understand i was only trying to help you to get informed by this.
    Keep up the good work though and i hope we’ll meet someday in better circumstances…

    Any news? Sreenshots looking good :wink:

  • DeDios

    no news guys?? :cool:

  • sibkin

    Any news ?

  • http://simscreens.blogspot.com 6e66o

    I guess this track wont be released soon,
    cause simbin didnt allow GTR Evo Conversions to competing Titles for at least one year after the game was released (if i remember correctly).

  • sibkin

    Thank you , 6e66o
    bad news….

    I love layout of GTR-Evo Nord.
    but,I love rFactor than GTR-Evo.

    Though Com8 modelled a layout of Nordschleife 2.2a on a layout of GTR-Evo Nord and should have released 2.3…
    (not Conversion) :happy:

  • nsignific

    So, how soon til this is eligible for release?

    I have both rFactor and GTR Evo, but I prefer rFactor and Nordschleife is basically all I play on it.

    Would love an updated version.

  • PieterN

    Any news on this conversion :question:
