eiwfihaaa: are simracers gona be stuck with this damn gmotor2 engine forever?

No :)

eiwfihaaa: i mean…………are we ever going to be treated to a new engine? in the next 5 years?

Yes :) iRacing engine out last year, SMS engine just out, Simbin's Lizard engine on PC should be out next year, as I suspect will ISIs rF2 engine.

We’ve tested it and had Kasper Andersen, the Danish SLeague racedriver have a go at it too – check out http://racemag.dk/2009/11/07/kasper-andersen-om-superleague-formula-spil/

and http://racemag.dk/2009/11/07/racemag-tester-superleague-formula/

translate.google to make sense of it, if you’re not a Scandinavian…

Gotta say, its growing on me. The push to pass button works well. You can use it 8 times in a race for 15 seconds, just like the real series.

Still too expensive tho!

The Force Feedback is far better out of the box. I see it’s using realfeel, but it is well implemented

That is one thing I hate about rFactor is spending the precious little time I get to race fiddling around with settings for every mod just to get them to feel good .

Unfortunately I can’t afford to buy this title as I’m still waiting to buy Race On once my kids birthdays are done and b4 xmas if I can spare the cash .

@Gaiajohan: that was the price range I expected, but I think even ISI did not have the final word on that topic.

Even if that was working you would lose the (2+1)-fold split qualifying and race sessions, which imo makes the game especially interesting for mulitplayer.

Is it possible to just drag & drop the mod- and tracks-files to the rFactor-directory, or the other way around?

|Too expensive for one car model and some tracks.

At highest I’d rate it €15-€20

Arnold, your modeling is some of the best low poly game modeling I've ever seen and I'm aware of your attention to detail. But I don't remember Formula style cars having doors for the seams to be modeled around. XD Anyways, I shown my support for CTDP, the modding community, and ISI by purchasing this game. It's not like it is the exact version of rFactor we all have, it does have quite a few more enhancements such as support for many more types of rear suspension, a cleaner, much faster UI and I'm sure there are other upgrades I don't know about as well. Over all tho, the car models, physics, and tire model feel pretty nice but the tracks could use a little work. I would rate the game around a B+. If it had tracks up to the CTDP standards, I would give it an A for all around....

Arnold Carter Wong: I really want to know why they are still doing the graphics in the standard of 2006, which is already outdated for the average PCs nowadays. Come on, we need doorlines and smooth edges modeled.

Simbin was a group of modders and today is a benchmark on the simulators, 2Pez started as a “group of friends” and today is working en your third game with “new engine”, I think I will buy this game to help CTDP, this group works so if profecional can do amazing things, would be incredible that they can work full time on this…

Im sorry, its a nice car model & physics but I cant pay £25 for a quick (by CTDP’s own admission) rF mod with 4 Simbin tracks I have bought at least 3 times each. An rF track I bought and some (no offence to the creator) ropey Jarama.

I would possibly give ISI/CTDP £10 for the v1.330 rF/car I could stick in my rF install however.

You could get SHIFT for the same price for Bub’s sake. Or Race On, or Forza 3 for a tenner more. The Codemasters F1 game will be this price a couple of months after release for….. smegs sake.

Just tried it. I feel disappointed but it’s not CTDP’s fault. They did a terrific job. Im disappointed to see how little rFactor is evolving. The compatibility with my nvidia card still sucks, highest AA options dont work, no new presets for different wheels, it still doesnt handle Vista/7 how it should. What is ISI doing?

Don’t get me wrong, it is a great mod, specially the cars, but there is no added value in this title at all.

I downloaded and tried it for a while. Reflections on the cars and the car models themselves are spectacular. But perhaps one of my favorite features is the detail of the wheels… CTDP has done it amazingly, and it’s one of the things I’ve been appreciating the most since seeing FSONE 2009 previews (which use CTDP wheel models).
The tracks seem solid, not spectacular, but solid. Magny-Cours outwits the rfactor availiable version, but have not yet tried Zolder to check if it’s so low budget as grimes suggests. The truth is, it is an awesome update while waiting for rFactor 2. The only thing we need now is to merge rFactor and Superleague (supposedly Superleague runs better, hence the v1.330)
Until now I feel it has been a good mod, but most likely when the 60 minutes run out, I’ll probably uninstall it or delete all trace from the registry and install it again. I’d love to have the mod, because it is a good one, BUT the overpriced tag and the fact that the car liveries are ridiculously ugly with all those football/soccer logos and details really prevents me from doing so. If skins were released making these cars look more like cars, rather than soccer players with 4 wheels, and the price dropped to $20, then I’d gladly but it. Until then, I’ll stick with what’s free and good…

“I doubt the modders will see much of the money.”

Maybe, but if this game sells well, then maybe they get a shot at a bigger title.

It’s not just about the money

I doubt the modders will see much of the money. More important probably is that a modding group had the opportunity to work together with ISI.
