- Mini Review – Driving impressions
DBR9: Nice Drive, the best GT?
DBRS9: Bad low speed handling, bad brakes ( this should “feel” similar to the DBR9, it dont. )
F50: Oversters at all speeds, bad brakes
FFX: Horendous understeer and aero ( again, the 2 Ferraris should “feel” similar, they dont )
Trofeo: Good all around, however… very lackluster, boring.
McLaren: whats up with the stretched MoteC ? Odd physics, cant place the feel, or rather odd feel. I would think a car of this caliber in full race trim has provisions for an adjustable rear anti-roll?
Ultima: Mabey the best car in the bunch, get this guy to fix the other cars physics. Great sounds as well. Graphical issues, drivers hands badly aligned and steering wheel has been lowered showing the stub steering colum on the dash. Minor MoteC mis-alignment in the display.
Love the showroom, and you used an idea I had with the movies on the widescreen!
overall a good mod, outstanding models and paints, sound can use help, physics.. well thats said above. ( and better than what I expected after hearing they were worse than NAGT, which they are not )
Overall…
Graphics = 9.5
Details = 7.5
Physics = 6.0
Sounds = 8.0

thats a really fast review..you cant judge the mod after 10-20 minutes of playing it.

Brakes on the DB9 are horrible. No idea how these were let in the mod.
Wix
September 14th, 2008 at 03:46
dont get me wrong , i can apreciate the constructive critisime ;-) , what i dont get is what you mean with ” again, the 2 Ferraris should “feel” similar, they dont “and ” ( this should “feel” similar to the DBR9, it dont. ) ??
i dont know for the Ferrari because i never was in one, but i can asure you the DBRS9 does not feel the same as a BBR9.
I also doubt that the F50 would feel the same as the FXX . The Fxx produces allot less down force and has a higher gravity point then the F50. Brakes are different too .
all in all , thanks for the evaluation.

Awesome Mod Wix and Company! Hat’s off to all involved.
I woould like to say I’m mazed at how folks can say they reviewing a mod after onl playing for a day or even a few days. These guys have worked for over a year on and off. Please give them the respect they deserve, adn play the mod for at least a year…no really, at least a few weeks before posting your review.
Wix, again please thank your team for me and the many other downloading and enjoying this mod.

Great mod, definately one of the best ones out there for GTR2, but I do have one question. In most of the cars, like the McLaren, and the DBR9, I feel like I’m sitting extremely low in the car, and the dashboard and the steeringwheel is obstructing much of my vision, especially when turning. Is it supposed to be like this, or is it a way to “adjust” it?

WiX: yes the same. Please take the critiqe as constructive. Not that I have drive a Ferrari FFX or DBR9’s but I can imagine that there is some similar feel, but different of course. Driver animations are some work of art.. wow. I know you have announce a v2.0 w/C6R and more, possible you take all critiqes and possible apply the suggestions from the community, we wish you best luck with the mod!

Wix? How far is the rFactor release away? I REALLY like to try out this mod… I own a copy of GTR2 but it’s not installed. Is the rF-release far away, still? If so then I’ll install my GTR2 game and try out your outstanding work :) A sincere question!

@Rui
Just point installer to your GTR2 root folder(x:\GTR2 or x:\Program Files\GTR2)
There’s no new icon, enter the game than go to open practice or whatever and cycle classes. Than you will see WSGT class(two of them to be exact). Choose car/track and drive.

Well done guys ! I got up extra early this morning to give it a try in Ohio with the DBR9S and the McLaren in Spa.
Great cars! I love the sound and the gloves are pretty cool !
Please keep up the good work
Are there already any infos on the carlist of part2 ?

Fantastic cars! Great job, and thank you very much. I noticed one thing. My cars shadow looks jagged from swingman view, but in replay its very smooth. I have my video for shadow and shadow quality set to max. And I have vsync locked at 60fps, which it never drops below. Just the shadow on my car looks very jagged. Anyone else notice this? Thanks in advance.

The dbrs9 handling was criticised by an early poster. Motorsport magazine in the UK drove these cars and the N24 in a group test at Ricard last year. Curiously enough the test driver loved the N24 and the DBR9, he pronounced both of them very forgiving. The DBR9 he singled out for special comment as he couldn’t believe how easy the car was to drive relatively quickly (which bears out what some about GTR2 GT1 physics).
Oddly enough it was the DBRS9 GT3 car which put the fear in him for all of the reasons given – scary brakes and low speed characteristics. The driver concerned has historic F1 experience and believed the DBRS9 to be one of the most difficult cars that he’s ever driven.
I haven’t tried anything but the Astons yet, but I believe they’ve got it right or thereabouts.

we have gone through all forums and read hundreds of messages. Regarding the physics we found that opinions vary. We do know that some cars are not ” easy ” and have to be learned. The FXX seems to be a frustrating drive for some and the fun Walhalla for others. note that we did not try to get the cars competitive . that was not the aim . giving the FXX GT1 grip would generate the same amount of criticism because the streetcar would then blow away all the gt cars. it is in real life a overpowered rich mans toy . we never drove one, but on the videos we can see its a handful when pushed . the discussions will go on forever i guess, because that’s the way it goes ever since sim racers and forums came to life. so we decided to just see who can tame the baby’s . we already received some awesome race video’s proving the handling is ok in the hands of some serious simracers . so i guess the rest of us should at least try do put in a good lap. you will have a blast , believe me.

at high speed the direction of the car becomes loose and the steering wheel is heading right then left then right big times.. dunno if it’s only me but it seem correct with normal gtr2 lineup cars.
ps: i love the mcf1 longtail’s cockpit great job guys and the showroom is awesome.

Hi mrs1986,
your graphic card doesnt support 4096×4096 textures. If you have Photoshop or something similar, you can resize textures to 2048×2048 and save them as DXT1 without mipmaps and without alpha. Then it should work. With huge quality loss of course.
