OUT OF DATE TOPIC Tracks you'll need

Quote from: vobler;275836I got this (PDF/Exploit.Pidief.OJS.Gen trojan) when trying to download either Lemans or Nordschleife tonight. Not sure what track did it. Be careful!

I had the same problem today when downloading the LeMan circuit and imported a virus. I hadn't restarted Kaspersky after my computer rebuild.:doh: Locked me out of task Manager and stopped any attempt to get to Kaspersky on the net. Fortunately, I managed to find an old copy Of KAV on spare hard drive, ran set-up and alls now well.

Didnt fancy two rebuilds in a week :sad:

Virus was win32.sality.ae and the trojan downloader was .win32.Agent.brxr

yeah, I got that too. Sorry I forgot to mention it. I never got lemans because of this. So you actually got infected, damn

. I didn't risk it after my browser and Avast gave me a warning, even though it was mentioned here that it may be a false positive.

Odd, I didn't get anything. I have AVG running :g: Haven't noticed anything strange with my computer either *shrug*

I got a trojan warning as I went to the French site when I clicked the download link (but before the download actually had started). I think the whole site is infected.. the track file itself appeared to be clean, though.

BTW those VirtuaLM tracks are just stunningly beautiful! Mid Ohio is a true gem. I actually went around there using my keyboard yesterday just because I missed it so! :lmfao:

I know the site you mean. I've downloaded stuff like graphics updates from them with no ill effects. Beats me. :sad:

THIS is the only reference I can find regarding virus' in rFactor. I'll go download it again, see what I get

Oh hoh!
I'll change the link.

Not a track for the server as it's a long one (unless you fancy a road race) but this: http://www.rfactorcentral.com/detail.cfm?ID=UKRally is nice for a blast in the english countryside in test drive, very realistic and well made, reminds me of some of the roads in the lake district.

That looks nice. Could be fun to just "cruise" on in your car of choice

Doorman · May 26, 2009, 02:03:37 PM

I shall have a little trundle round there this very afternoon.

In a Cortina.

Doorman · May 26, 2009, 02:28:23 PM

Very nice. I did it in a BMW E90. Some serious air to be had, which I doubt would do much for your suspension!

A less stressful version of Mt. Arrowsmith/head.

EDIT: I don't remember seeing the signpost.

Nice drive

Tried in E-Type -poor choice- never got out of 2nd gear and spend most of the time on the verges.
Amount of force feedback in the first 100 yards or so was disconcerning and the amount of 'airtime' exciting, although I expected a broken suspension on every jump. Good find Ben

obsolum · May 26, 2009, 04:53:21 PM

I just had a go on that track. Not really knowing what to expect I chose the GT40, because I think it's an awesome car and I hadn't driven it yet. Not the best choice for that type of track, lol :doh: I had to slow down to a crawl before that little bridge in order to get over it.

I still had the time accelerator set to x25 so after 1 lap dusk started to settle in and I had to turn on my headlights. Evening and night time driving definitely add to the experience, I find

Not a track to run on the server, but nice nonetheless.

Lameduck · May 26, 2009, 07:33:57 PM

Just tried Le Man. WOW! in Alpina BM and then Capri, what an excellent track.

Couldnt keep that up for 24 hrs. Mind you, at my age, I have trouble in keeping some things up for 24 seconds.
Concentration I mean. :sad:

That is such a nice find! thank you very much.

Just had a go in the 5 speed Abarth 4:22..and the quest is on to PB hell.

Updated OP with GPC79. GPC79 is an F1 mod from the er...'79 era. Out of all the tracks that make up that series, three impressed me. Dijon, which I loved from GTL days (this is even better! Although it only includes the GP circuit) Montreal, before they put in bouncy floor covering and Monza when it was a man's track! I've made a pack of them so minimal fiddling.
