rFactor + GTL

Seany · May 19, 2009, 01:42:34 AM

Very impressive:) I found it a lot easier to pick up than netkar, as far as keeping the car on track goes. And you can have a bit of fun with the car without the fear your going come off the track every corner. Graphics are nice, I'd say pretty much on par with LFS except for nicer lighting and much nicer detail on the cars. It does seem a bit more "grainy", but from what I have seen so far this may be down to the tracks and how high quality the are. Sound is really good, from engine to tire squeal, very nice feedback.
I am very pleased with the amount of content with all the tracks and cars, there's tons of it!

Cheers Moose and Ron for helping me configure all the configurables this eve, looking forward to more racing soon.

Just wanted to say that I had a couple of really nice races yesterday :boxing:

That little Abarth is just crazy... :roflmao:

ps. I noticed it's really nice to have the ability op just some pick up races instead of the scheduled netKar Pro events :|

Yup, had great fun again last night. I love those pocket rockets

After netKar League races and iRacing i've found pick up racing in HistoriX to be the ultimate in stress busting fun.

Indeed. I was about to post that in the iRacing thread as a response to your post, Stuart. For me, iRacing and rFactor fulfill two different needs. They complement each other very nicely.

iRacing = "every race counts", league-ish feeling before each race, loads of practice needed, etc etc. Can't do many races in a row. Sometimes it gets a little sterile if you're either faster/slower than the other guys. Not much close fighting necessarily (though this depends a lot on who you're racing against and how well you know them!)

rFactor + HistorX = fun, relaxed atmosphere, close fighting, sliding around, etc etc.

So, before my hiatus, I used to do a couple of iRacing races first and then swap over to rFactor afterwards. Perfect!

It did wonders for my lap time. but only I just recently found out that I have to drag the setup to correct folder or else it's gone after you restart rFactor. In other words... I lost it... :crying:

Some more terrific races last night :yahoo: There were a good few people on, and some new faces who appeared to be pretty fast guys. Those car classes seem to be pretty well balanced on most tracks, allowing for diverse grids of cars. I especially loved the couple of close battles I had with Ron :boxing: Great driving there, mate!

I agree on all points.

we had some great battles and I thought that if you ever learn patience we won't have many more. :lmfao:

:lmfao: You know me!

In that last race I didn't really have much time to be patient as it was the last lap. I really wanted to lay the heat down on you, and I was thoroughly enjoying it. Too bad that Mck8 guy felt he had to come between us, even though he was a lap down :sideways:

I'm guessing the server is offline because it's nkPro night tonight?

Doorman · May 27, 2009, 09:18:37 PM

No, it's up albeit a tad late.

obsolum · May 28, 2009, 07:12:10 PM

Server not online yet?

I don't know if there's gonna be much people online with the 1hr race on LFS but you never know.

Been having router problems. Fingers crossed, all ok now.

I tried to join the server twice but got a "Join timed out" message each time. After that I couldn't see the server anymore.

Doorman · May 28, 2009, 07:49:06 PM

Sorry, all sorted now. While rebooting the router it reset the IPs and because one of the PCs wasn't on it gave out different IPs
