Holy old thread batman.

Quote from Hyperactive :

Unless either tristan or bwx232 tried rf properly with some proper mod (historix with realfeel, corvette, nsx, supra) it is not even possible to take their arguments seriously. It's like trying the first lfs version from 2002 and saying s2 in its current form sucks donkeyballs because the longnitudal grip is completely wrong and the menus look like something 5 year-old would shat on the floor if s/he ate full pack of crayons.

If they tried rf with proper mods with not-broken physics then ok (there aren't many). We agree to disagree. If not then obviously it is not going to be worth the effort.

Oh, yeah, every single mod that I had on my rF install.. I think 15 GB worth, after playing for something like 3 years. Yeah I am sure every single mod was broken. Now miraculously there are three mods that make rF physics and FF perfect.


Go fly a kite.

Yeah the physics are pretty bad. Implant LFS physics and FF with those cars and tracks and you might have something. The GFX would still be very outdated, but it would be and improvement.

Quote from Hyperactive :

Only person making stuff up out of the blue is you. Oh you poor victim!

Oh here is a list of things you said:
- Physics kind of suck though.
- They (physics) break down past a certain slip angle and always have
- I haven't played rF in years
- some things are impossible to fix w/ a mod

Here is list of things you clearly implied:
- rf physics engine is in some way fundamentally broken because cars spin around once they reach certain slip angle. It is not the data that goes in that is broken ("newer mods can't fix it") but the physics engine itself that is broken.

Here is the actual fact about your statements:
- they are all wrong. Except the one where you say you haven't played rf in years.

Clearly you have no idea what you are talking about. It is not 2006 anymore where all rf mods had slip curves for the tires that dropped basically to 0 at higher slip angles. That is and was an issue with bad data being used in the mods. I have given you a list of things to try in my earlier if you are actually interested in facts and seeing for yourself. But nope. Here I am just making stuff up*.

*If you just want an easy way just quote that last sentence so we can all see that you were just trolling all along and never wanted to be part of a discussion.

Play and defend your crappy, old, outdated sim all you want! illepall

I got over it about 7 years ago.

I'm not making this stuff up and didn't say a damned word about "cars spinning", you are trying (and failing) to put words in my mouth with every single troll post of yours. Just stop.

Quote from nikopdr :

That might be because you seem to be way too ignorant to understand what you have said yourself.

It sounds like you have problems with English, either that or you just don't make any sense.. Butt out. Ignoramus.

Quote from Keling :

Get over it, guys. This kind of discussion never works.

Especially when one person just makes stuff up out of the blue.

Quote from Hyperactive :

Look at thread title. Anyways it does not make rfactor engine horrible if there are so many horrible mods for it. If you think rfactor engine is trash then try historix mod, niels' supra, corvette or nsx. Or try the demo of game stockcar and then come back to say the physics suck. The problem of ocy spins and unrecoverable slides past certain slip angle were caused simply by using bad unrealistic numbers for the tires.



Yes it is possible if the mod was the only thing that was broken in the first place...

Quit putting words in my mouth. I never said any of that crap that you are spewing.


Now that you mention it, it is horrible, and it is trash. There, you happy now?

Quote from Hyperactive :

Historix/game stockcar disagrees. I'd go as far as saying that out of most sims nowadays lfs has the weakest physics engine. LFS is beaten to oblivion by the amount of physics features other sims like rf, rf2, ac or even iracing has (aero complexity, tires, suspension types etc.). Only things left with lfs' physics side is the visual tire deflection which is just a gimmick in the end. Maybe flatspots do count. But it is really unavoidable to be left so far behind when the last physics patch for lfs was released something like 2006-2007? I don't even remember anymore because it is so hilariously long time.

Simply comparing physics engines we have lfs and rfactor and then with the rfactor engine we also have game stockcar. There is no contest at all. LFS is a dying dinosaur and is beaten by the competition in every single area except few which have nothing to do with physics (insim server mods, easy of use online, lfsworld, skin downloads).

We are definitely living the golden age of sim racing now. Never before has there been so many good titles without obvious horrible pitfalls. Without any meaningful development for the past 6 years I think it is downright farcical to say lfs even belongs to the top group of sims anymore. Only thing it has left is curiosity value.

I didn't say anything about LFS's physics, just that rF physics kind of suck (and I meant FF in that). They break down past a certain slip angle and always have, in any mod I have ever used.

I haven't played rF in years, but some things are impossible to fix w/ a mod.

Quote from NikolasCE9A :

Old thread is old but who cares.

To anyone who wants to know what rfactor is capable of just let me know . i can help doing so .
Rfactor came a long way . and there are some HIGH quality mods out there.

Physics kind of suck though.

I know this looks boring at the moment, but I'm planning to put some LED's in it, and do some other mods.

Grotesque!!

J/K, looks awesome..

It might as well be a 12 inch clock around my neck!

Quote from Shotglass :

very mature of you



feeling the need to go ad hominem after i "insulted" your bad taste? youve lost the argument

You must not be able to comprehend the word "if".

I put dynamat type stuff for car audio installation in strips along the inside of the metal part of my case, even on the window panel, just not directly on the window obviously, and it works great. You don't need sheets of the stuff, just a few strips here and there actually helps a lot.

Need better pics... but anyway..







Added two more Western Digital Black series 1TB SATA6 drives, and another mobo controlled cpu cooler fan for a push/pull setup and snapped a few pics.

When it is powered on, there are two 140mm fans in front, 2 140mm fans on top, and one 140mm fan in the back that are all mobo controlled or knob controlled, and they light up a deep blue and shine through the top and front mesh. I like it. Need to get some higher quality pics. And yes I have a window on the side (a sideways "V" shape) and yes I think it looks cool, and no I don't think it looks "garish" and no I don't care what anyone else thinks.. LOL

Quote from Mustafur :

the physics can depend on the mod.

Yeah but the physics engine itself is limited and only can do so much.

Just built brand new PC.. with Win 7 64 ultimate.. Gonna install LFS and play for the first time in many years.. about 5 or so years?

Holy old thread batman. Got a racing rig and a G25.. a new one that I bought in 2006 but just took out of box a few months ago, and an old one. Nixim mod brake pedal FTW.

WTF I just find out about this last week. No advertizing of WRC civerage at all- not even on Discovery HD Theater. I missed first 3 rallies.Got Jordan coverage recorded Sun.

http://dhd.discovery.com/tv/wo ... y-championship/about.html

Sunday, April 3rd
2011 WRC Sweden (Rally World, Preview) @ 10:30am
2011 WRC Sweden Day 1 @ 11:30am
2011 WRC Sweden Day 2 @ 12pm
2011 WRC Sweden Day 3 @ 12:30pm
2011 WRC Sweden (Power Stage/Event) @ 1pm
2011 WRC Sweden Access All Areas Review @ 2pm

etc.., etc.., etc

More coverage than ever but I missed all of it up to now.

Quote from Senninha25 :

LOL! I've reported him already though.

I reported him at about 2am EDT. I got the email update with the spam post. He's gone now.

Any news on WRC coverage in the US/ on ESPN?

EDIT- didn't find much but this rumor:

"Discovery HD Theater will carry WRC for 2011 in the USA, but not Canada. Don't know if Canada will get WRC coverage, but there will likely be some websites that will host the coverage, for those Canadian fans who absolutely want the WRC."

http://www.rallye-info.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=136

Will have to get some confirmation.....

Too bad Subaru aren't getting back into WRC. If the coverage on TV in the US was more up-to-date, I bet the ratings would be higher. I mean who the hell wants to wait a week, or even 2 days to see coverage they could watch online sooner? It makes no sense.
