F6 UTE - Track Bound EVO III - Member 3,367 Member For: 20y 2m 22d Gender: Male Location: Strapped in and holding on Posted 21/06/07 01:43 PM Share Posted 21/06/07 01:43 PM I downloaded DiRT racing and it sucked as a simulator. It felt like an arcade game.I am going to download this one and see if it is better. So far the best simulator I have driven was GP Legends from back in 1999.DiRT is an Arcade style game.Try GTR2 for realistic driving sim, it kicks arz..http://au.gamespot.com/pc/driving/gtr2/ima...%3B1&page=3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbo Member 249 Member For: 22y 3m 8d Location: Sydney Posted 26/06/07 08:42 AM Share Posted 26/06/07 08:42 AM rFactor is the sim to get guys. It was designed to be moddable. Essentially, the game out of the box has basic fictional tracks and fictional cars however, since its release, there are hundreds of additional cars, tracks and series. If you head over to http://www.rfactorcentral.com/ you'll find all the mods there. A couple of note are V8factor which is the 2006 V8 Supercar Series and the F1 1979 mod. Bloody brilliant.And ... if you're really keen, you can race in online leagues against other guys on the net. It is seriously as close as you can get to the real thing.I've been playing these sims for years and they just keep getting better.I also make the Advantage1 controllers so I've had a fair bit to do with the 'sport'.Give it a go. You won't regret it. Feel free to contact me for more info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I just need to build a faster PC for gaming and try it. Most games I play are on the XB360 and Ps3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 23d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 28/06/07 01:47 PM Share Posted 28/06/07 01:47 PM I downloaded rFactor and I must say it is a great sim.I played it for several hours until my eyes hurt. I bought it.I di dnot know there was such a massive amount of mods for the game. I just downloaded the F1 and V8 mods and will look at the tracks tomorrow.Is there any combined track pack ? or do I need to choose them one at a time ?

Robbo Member 249 Member For: 22y 3m 8d Location: Sydney Posted 28/06/07 10:32 PM Share Posted 28/06/07 10:32 PM Some mods come with tracks and I would be surprised if there weren't a few track packs but generally you load and install the ones you want. For people who have never seen these things, it is a real eye opener. These games are actually simulations, not games. The cars are modelled on the real thing. Because I am an IT Consultant who makes wheels, pedals and shifters etc on the side, I have people asking me what they are. When I show them, they are usually blown away. When I tell them that people race on the Internet against 30 other real people, they can't believe it. It is a whole new world of motor sport.
