Although Com8 has i’m sure put much work into there version, the model you can see it’s dated, with far less polygons then simbins, plus i’m pretty sure simbin use gps data. So i’d say simbins all the way.

Simbin Track is way better modellingwise of course.
But rF Nordschleife clearly has mor “Life” in it

Now it´s time to combine those things”

I totally agree, with work the simbin could be great. Needs better, and of course more realistic textures. (I hate the ad boards being for the game, I want the ones that are really there)

Yeap, one more vote to Com8. Even if Simbin’s has got asymetricaly worn tarmac and more realistically worn out curbs(albeit unrealistically flat). Com8 has had much more dedication put into it than a simply commercial product. It’s got an artist’s soul in it .

Com8’s version has great texture work. But the flaws on the track are aparent compared to simbins which was produced with cad data provided to them.

The track was build using this data which means it is most likely the most accurate representation of the track possible. I do agree I do not like the lighting but that can be changed. Now if we say a Com8 Texture plus Simbins Mesh and mapping hell yea.

And Ms. Claire. The Lonely is right. And you know what when you look at the tracks provided by him do not get me started on where you comments fall flat on their face.

mmmmmm i need to wait to drive on Race version..Com8/geggo textures are definetly better…those guys have done a wonderful work!!

about layout, not sure but Simbin version it seems to be a lot more accurate, but, repeat, i want to wait before write crytics

LOL we need to convert race version, and do a new rF version with Com8/geggo textures and simbin mesh :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I think the rF Nordschleife looks much better than the version of Simbin!

I don’t know which one LOOKS best, but I’m sure that SimBin’s will be waaay more accurate.

LOL @ the lonely, you would say that, beens as com8 & 6e660 as overtaken you in updating texture for rfactor, you are the weakist link, goodbye.

Grimes, have you played rFactor? Maybe you tested it on old hardware in DX7 or DX8 with detail turned down. Or maybe you tested on old tracks/cars and ditched it and never came back. The pics in this post don’t look the slightest bit different from the way they look on my machine running this mod/track in rFactor.

I think both versions look very good, and the fact that we even discuss which is best says ALOT about COM8 and friends` effort with Nordschleife 2007.

I will take the simbin version Simbins textures are more realistic imho, plus the fact it’s a proper simbin track!

I think the pictures of the mod are made with photoshop.
rFactor dont have so nice grapics!

To be honest, I’d need to see these side-by-side with real photos to say which is better.

@god that are screens thats been released by simbin… not screens that were taken by com8…

some real pics in the same angle for comparing should be very nice! im wondering if simbin didnt measur the nords by gps… hope they did this!

How can it be that com8 had already GTR Evo,
That means to me that was the reason for the Crash of the RF-Nordschleife team, becaus Com8 has selled the track to SimBin….

In that case i think Com8 can enjoy the hole summer in a swimming pool . . .
