I had some few drinks too much and i'm wondering, is this Oulston Park?

Doorman · May 02, 2009, 10:32:04 AM

Bingo!

lovretta · May 05, 2009, 10:35:54 AM

one of the Brands races

and some other Brands

one of the Silverstone races

and some other Silverstone

Not all reports are included, because if you quit the race then .xml report is incomplete? :g:

Great! How did you get those? I couldn't help but notice I got three second places and a suspension. Not a bad evenings work.

With this utility called "Autosim Analyzer".

As soon as any session is over, rFactor generates .xml report, which is located in UserData\LOG\Results. Naming scheme of these files is a bit not-easy to read, the best thing you can do is sort these files based on date modified, and look at the last few characters, which will indicate what session file relates to, eg. ...SR.xml would mean it's race report.

Reports by themselfs are pretty much unreadable to us, but programs like this one extract all the information and sort it in something like that up.
There are many tools like this, but this one is IMO best in easy-ness-to-use vs. end-result-usability

Bit of action from last night

Wow...! :woot2: That looked terrific.

Withdrawals are kicking in already. Luckily I've disassembled everything, so there's no turning back. :flirty:

Absolutely fantastic stuff. :yahoo: Obsolum and I were coming down the other side as you were sitting in your cars grinning at each other!

Cracking race, indeed

How did you make that video? Did you use fraps? What OS are you using? I tried using fraps to make a video but it crashed rFactor :g:

EDIT: just tried recording a video with Fraps in LFS and it did the same thing; both LFS and Fraps crash. So it's a Fraps issue then. Are there any settings I should pay attention to?

The Moose · May 12, 2009, 04:30:40 PM

Fraps on XP Pro 32 bit.

I run rFactor in windowed mode at 1280x720 resolution (for the best youtube quality) whilst frapsing (made up words ftw!) it. If i run fullscreen it drops to about 5fps whilst frapsing.

I use 24 FPS and full size settings in fraps.

Then i just chuck the file in windows movie maker and add titles/credits. I downloaded some files so it would output at 1280x720.

It's a 10 min job, plus around 15 mins for movie maker to convert.

(make sure you have plenty of hard drive space. 3 mins of footage was 2.9 GB

Luckily movie maker reduced it to 130 MB)

EDIT. Never had Fraps crash on me, so i don't know what the problem is i'm afraid.

I've purchased (and in the case of GTL - repurchased) both rFactor and GTL and will be joining you soon

Hi Guys

I have found a league in North America to run this Mod and with some further detective work found this site for you guys. (If anyone was looking:) )

Looks like they run races on Sat. so I might try to get in there too.
