rFactor

I'm getting back into race sims and heard rFactor was a good one to try. So
I downloaded the demo and it just doesn't seem too good. The sounds are
cartoonish, cars sound like bumblebees and the shifting sounds funky. Is
there a NASCAR mod for it? Are there any good NASCAR sims other than NASCAR
2003?

Just buy the full version, you won't regret it. And yes there is a Nascar
mod for it..

rFactor by itself isn't that great, but the makers cheated. They counted
on 3rd party developers to make some good car and track mods. There are
many of these now for rFactor.

Re: rFactor

Same here guy - I was looking for another sim racing game to play. NR2003 is
still the best, but getting old.



Many said rfactor is great so I downloaded the demo and was not impressed. I
was told just as you were. Buy the full version. You won't regret it.



HA, I regretted buying the game.



There were no improvements from the demo to the full version. It's the same
physics as EA's NSR. Which I find rather amusing since all the hard core
nr2003 said they hated NSR, but they all bought rfactor and said they love
it..too funny!



The stock car mod is the exactly the same as EA' NSR. Same physics, same
models, same crappy game play.



The only good thing I have to say about rfactor is, the graphics are nice
and the console gamer will enjoy it. They also have tons of mod which are
buggy. Sometimes my wheel will work. Sometimes it won't



My copy of the game is sitting right next to EA's NSR, since they are the
same. Collecting dust with the rest of the crap I purchased over the years.



Hopefully ARCA Sim Racing will be great!

I agree the nascar mod for rfactor just dont cut it for me.. but the
openwheel, and now the Offroad mods are really good and accurate
physics..the rally cars are nice driving too... I still play it alot
but for Nascar, it still is N2003 for that... nothing better ...

Have you tried the F3 or 1979 mods? Those are well worth the $40

If you're stuck on Nascar, then you're probably right to stick with
N2003. Have fun....

Re: rFactor

I love the Lambo Murcielago for rF. So far that car suits my driving style
the most..

Is there a good Murcielago for rF ? Or do you mean the new Gallardo ? In
that case, you should also like several of the GTR2 cars.

That's my feeling too. I like the feel of the one in GTR2 much better.
I've installed the one for rF, done a few laps in it a few times and
haven't touched it since.

Cheers,
Rod.

Yea the Murcielagao in rF is about the same as gtr2. I just have the demo of
gtr2. Anyone have Varano? I did a 1:05.489 in the Murcielago. The second
esse is awesome in this car! You can really throw the car around and save
some wicked slides..
