Mainz-Finthen – First Preview Video

After several impressive preview shots, Com8 has now released a first preview video of his Mainz-Finthen track for rFactor.

The video shows an on-board lap around the airfield circuit, narrated by former DTM driver Manuel Reuter.

Located near the German city of Mainz, the former US Army Airfield was used as a DTM venue from 1984 until 1990. Com8’s version will be modelled after the 1989 version of the DTM event, once completed the track will also make its way to GTR2 and GTR Evolution.

    Which mod does this BMW come from?

    Thanks in advance!

  • toivonen

    Yes, one thing that striked me together with the quality of the track, is the photorealistic aspect of the video…either these guys play another rfactor than we common people :weird: …or it’s a very good job of video editing! Can anyone share a light on the subject..preferable the authors..how can we achieve these graphical quality near photorealistic!

  • stabiz

    Very cool!

    Alex..please insert Dirty Parts on Road..like CTDPs Bahrain.
    They insert Sandflow on Pitlane and besides from Idealline. :roll:

  • gtrNL

    Really looking forward to this one.

  • Com8

    the video was recorded by filming the monitor with a sony hd cam, with a video edit software i just fine tuned the contrast and the colors slightly

    If he’s testing in rFactor its the RaceX mod which is a direct rip of content from Race07. Then again, its suggested its being released for Race as well, so it might just be that. Hope I helped.

    Its from the great Touring Car Legends mod i believe.

  • F1_fan_1

    I think it’s the M3 from the touring car legends mod. :wink:

  • toivonen

    For me it seems the RaceX..but i could be wrong.

    THANKS for the reply Com8…trully a genious work, one could easily travell in time, and thought seeing real footages of the DTM event!..i loved those times and think DTM was at his peak..both in terms of tracks, drivers and machinery..nice to give us a peace of history..it would be nice to have a dedicated mod that represented those times..tracks and cars…of course with this beauty and with some of the cars of my beloved TCL, we have a very good basis to spent our sim hours!

    Very nice work!!

    Don’t get me wrong, I love the Touring Car Legends mod, but Simbin really nailed the sounds in their rendition of this car and as such I can recognise it from afar. :P

    Well, i wouldn’t be surprised that come8 just use the Race sound in the Touring car Legends mod, since everybody is using uofficial custom sounds, because the mod didn’t have sounds on it’s own.

    Besides, i am almost sure the mode and livery comes from there.

  • Com8

    its all RaceX mod in rFactor, now btt please :sd:

  • toivonen

    Eheh..i knew it :wink: Yes, in that dept Simbin, really did a GREAT job, but one have to notice that the resources that they had, are not comparable to TCL team, also the amount of cars portraited (M3 and Alfa 75) are nothing compared to the magnificent field of machines of TCL mod…oh well, better to have from what to choose, than the oposite…again Com8, the waiting will be “painfull”, but no doubt rewarding! MANY THANKS

    definetly RaceX

    nice preview Com8, track looks enjoyable

  • paupau

    oh, already posted :shame:

  • carbonfibre

    You can get the 1987 E30 in the VLN 2005 mod too, however I’m not sure it uses the same sound pack, so in which case it would be a lost cause.

  • Dreiviertel

    I like the sound of this guy – who may this be? :happy:
