Team LMT has released their first ever public mod for rFactor, bringing Ferrari's F60 Formula One car and the 2009 version of the Singapore Grand Prix to the simulation. Driven by Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen, the F60 was Ferrari's take on the new rules introduced prior to the 2009 Formula One season. Despite being equipped with the promising KERS system, the car failed to make an impact on the world championship. Along with the car comes the 2009 version of Singapore, Formula One's first ever night Grand Prix. The team's first public mod for rFactor was helped by many modders who ...

Enduracers have released a first batch of previews of the upcoming Service Pack 1 for their popular Endurance Series mod for rFactor. The previews show the Porsche RS Spyder Evo LMP2 prototype in several paint schemes. Launched in 2007 after a problem-ridden season with the initial RS Spyder model, the Evo proved to be a big success, clinching Porsche countless wins in the American Le Mans Series, the Le Mans 24 Hours and the Le Mans Series.

How do they know that much detail will work in rFactor2? Some one has alot of confidence in ISI!

Any amount of details will work. How it plays is down to your CPU and GPU(s).

The detail of the model is irrelevant. If you let a 3 year old texture it, it’s going to look crap.
I’d laugh after all this if there is something fundamentally different with RF that renders all this work unusable. It’s always struck me as somewhat arrogant to say your mod is for RF2 when the sim isn’t even finished.
You may as well say it’s for RF 10.

I have 100k poly models i’ve tested in rfactor and GTR2 and they work. You just can’t run more than a few cars :)
I don’t know if there is a poly limit.

Highly un-likely. A model is just a model and can be converted to any format needed. Textures are the same way… just convert to the needed format. Only major changes you’d probably see is material set-up/reflections, gauges/motec maybe lights, coll/shad models might be different and a few other little things. Nothing that can’t be updated. If rf1 was any indication the proper tools needed will be available.

thanks for this shot. IMO cockpits are really importants..and i’m happy to see this level of detail. Keep it up, and thanks again for this update.

As far as framerate is concerned, i would not worry. On my AMD940 – Geforce G285GTX we get up to +200 FPS in 1920/1200 using a 30 car field. Further more we put time and effort in the LOD´s. You would be amazed what can be acomplished with some smart hard work . Take in account that by the tme of release, the average serious game PC, will have even more power for a lower price. It is a fact that we dont spend all this time and work on it , to support your average Office PC. its simple , You dont buy a Fiat punto to pull your double axle trailer isnt it.
we do count on a good framerate using 1920/1200 AA 2x with a 24 car field. Thats our aim, and at his moment we even have FPS to spare.

One of rFactors biggest draws for me, is it’s ability to run a big grid of cars.
I like to run as many as a track will allow, with 40 showing, 2560X1024, high every thing. It works for me. Even with HistoryX. I still get 100+ frames after the first couple turns. How many cars can be run with “Shift’s” high res. cockpits? Hope they are aiming at pretty big field of cars. Hope rFactor2 will run them.

Well, I would say it’s pointless to run with 40 almost boxy things at 2560×1024. Those models are basically craps when you use a screen bigger than 24 inch. (sorry guys, but I really have to say that, even for the WSGT2 cars, I still think it would be better to have more 3D details on the body, but we have to optimize them for slower PCs)
At first I was even aim to build the exteriors at the level of GT5, but due to the needs to have 30 cars on the track, I cut 3/4 of the polys. BTW, We aim to have 60FPS with 30 cars at 16xQ AA on the average game PCs with a GeForce 9800GTX this time.
Sometimes I really don’t like the ideas around the community about non-detailed models to gain so-called better performance on the super old PCs. It’s just fooling yourself at all. People with slow PCs should just low down the details, but not to set all of them to full and say “oh, it’s FPS monster”. I would just switch off my PC if I still need to face a simple cockpit on my screen with simple textures and rollcage. 2010 is coming, so there is no way to use the low-end display cards in 2007 to play with full details.

Arnold I hope the mod comes with a discount coupon for a new PC.

Unlucky Chucke: I would not worry. all the people i have in my simracing social club,beg for details. As for the age thing…. mmm i am 43… not 3. :-)
about the ” I’d laugh after all this …” as SCCA1981 allready said, we can pump it into any sim or game just as easy. the reason why we picked rFactor 2 is because of its features, and because its the only system that officially supports mods.
PS: Here is a question for you… whats the best.. to start creating a mod for a sim that is not out yet…… or start to nag about a sim that is not out yet?
” I’d laugh after … you beg for a link.
Brigthen up my friend.. you are a very pessimistic person. it will only have an impact on you, not us.

Hehehe. Best. Line. Ever. Wix. Can I have a link? For rF2 perhaps?
While I’m thinking the same thing (I fully understand it, it does make sense to model now and worry about meeting the requirements when needed), it is sorta goofy to be all “Nom nom nom its for rF2 nomoonomnomonomnonmnomnom.”
But still, I’ll disagree with Arnold. While I’ve never had a problem running the WSGT1 for GTR2 or even any problems with turning settings down, it is sorta crazy to blame people for saying it’s a FPS Monster when, compared to other mods, it likely could be. But then again, multi car mods will always be heavier (Heck, look at CART Factor – great details, yet runs faster than almost anything out there?), but – optimization is key. I have faith that you guys can carry that out with the same amount of quality.

You’re right Empty box. Optimizing is the key. While the main models are high poly compared to other mods, we intend to have optimized lod’s for all the models, including the cockpit. So if you turn your settings down, the mod will look (and run) like any other mod on a medium pc, like mine. Once the lod for this cockpit is done we’ll post a screenshot of it.
