Mainz-Finthen 1.0 – Released

Posted on December 18th, 2009 in rFactor

Com8 has released his scratch-made Mainz-Finthen track for rFactor, bringing the former DTM airfield-venue to the simulation.

The temporary 2.25 kilometer race track comes with lots of surrounding details and animated objects, it’s available both as dry and wet version.

Features:

- real racing line, getting off it means griploss and dusty trackparts
- 3D garage/pitspots
- anti-cutting-measures
- 1989 style environment, adboards and cameraset just like it was back then
- modeled bumps (mixed with some fake ones)
- lots of moving and animated stuff
- moveable tirestacks (only the iner ones in the corners)
- race signals via flagmarshalls (no lights!)
- textures from real photography

Located near the German city of Mainz, the former US Army Airfield was used as a DTM venue from 1984 until 1990. Initially released for rFactor, the track will also be making its way to GTR2 and GTR Evolution in the future.

Links replaced.

Looks like Rapidshare has become totally useless for non-premium users these days.

Usually it was just a few seconds of waiting time but now you can’t download anymore. Bummer..

**start installing**

Thanks mate, can’t wait to get some rubber on the track.

Great track. Com8 has once again given us a gem. Someday he may get snapped up by a professional developer, like a few talented others have. It will be their gain and… hey, our gain as well. Just think, Com8 fully funded = Com8 on ’steroids’!

Perfect timing! I always seem to be in the mood for rFactor on Friday nights, must be the alcohol… Well now I have an excuse to drink even more!
Cheers Com8!

Finally got around to trying this track out. Its really great. I had such a blast with the Peugeot 207s2000 mod in a tight race where I literally managed to take the lead on the last corner on the last lap.

Textures on the double-decker bus are reversed though, hehe :)

Quality work ! HistorX on this must be fantastic.

Just to follow up, I had some trouble at first trying to figure out the exact track layout although a quick look at the track map fixed that. But once you learn the track you can really appreciate the attention to detail. The whole thing just feels very authentic. Thanks again!
