Virtua_LM has released the Fuji Speedway for rFactor, adding a historical one of Japan's most important race tracks to the simulation. Based on the version released for F1 Challenge, the track has been extensively modified and revamped to make most of rFactor's graphic engine. Included are the 1982, 1990 & 1993 layouts of the track as well as the 1993 bike configuration. GTL, GTR2 & GTR Evolution versions of this release will be coming up soon! Located near the famous Mount Fuji in Oyama, Japan, Fuji Speedway was opened in 1963. The track was a popular venue for sports car races ...
Back in December, a new simulation software studio opened its doors as Reiza Studios officially picked up business. Now, the studio has revealed their first project, announcing the Formula Armaroli race car for rFactor. Made in co-operation with Armaroli Simulators, the Formula Armaroli car is a fictional open-wheel race car modelled after 80s Formula One machinery. The car weighs 540 kilos and is powered by a 650hp turbo engine, bringing some of the best action in Grand Prix history to the simulation. Everybody will be able to try the studio's first public project as the Formula Armaroli race car will be released ...
Jessica, Darin & Shaun of InsideSimRacing.tv were recently joined by Image Space Incorporated's Gjon Camaj who visited the guys for an interview in an upcoming SRT episode. ISI's head-honcho did not come empty-handed though as Camaj showed off rFactor 2's user interface for the very first time. Below are six screenshots of the interface, showing off what looks like a major improvement over rFactor's much criticised UI-system.Taking a closer look, the screenshots reveal some very interesting details as the task bar gives away the version number used by Camaj for the presentation - 0.783. Also, we´re starting to get an idea on the ...
About a year ago, Team NLC announced a sucessor to their popular VLN 2005 mod for rFactor, planning to bring the 2009 season of Germany's popular racing series to the simulation. For almost twelve months, the team has been quietly working in full force on their massive project and is now able to present us with a very big batch of renders to show off their progress. The renders show twelve different car models sporting various liveries. While some models like the Renault Clio or the Mini Cooper S have been converted, others have been equipped with new parts such as the ...
As promised, Codemasters have just released the first of their developer diary videos, introducing us to some of their staff and showing off first-ever moving footage of F1 2010 for the PC, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. Footage in the video has been taken from a pre-alpha version of the title that was shown-off in London today, showing us some gameplay action at Monza. Following their maiden Formula One title that was released only for the Playstation Portable and the Nintendo Wii, Codemasters will be bringing the 2010 Formula One season to the PC, ...

I haven’t driven GTR2 in the last six months, but re-installed it after reading Jen’s review. While I will not get dragged into comparing it to rF Historix, the PnG 2.0 mod is really, really good! Yeah, the AI are a bit insane, sort of like Surtees in GPL, but otherwise I have no complaints and only praise.

It deserves the praise–while I’ve made my feelings clear on the sounds, it doesn’t take away from an overall enjoyable experience and I’ve been playing the mod quite a lot. Nothing is quite as much fun as the L72 Corvette around Essington.

I find it pretty curious that, after 10.000 downloads (yes, the zeros are correct) and over 2.000 extremely positive comments across the internet -including from old drivers/owners of these same vehicles- you’re still the only person (so far) that had anything less than absolutly positive to say about the sounds.
Like I already in RSC (and could have said also in NoGrip where you posted the same very post, as also in here before), you can fix your problem by getting a good, well setup’ed soundcard and some propper sub+speakers system, just like these sounds were ment to be used with.
A nice fast graphics card, processor, ram, motherboard and screen, with a wheel controller plugged in, doesn’t make a good sim/gaming rig. Without a good sound system, it’s imcomplete.
…otherwise, if you have any QUALITY recordings, please feel free to contact us at GTLW, as there’s never enough of those.
(btw, no crappy DISTORTION/WIND/STATIC total confusing messy stuff, please)
