Best Modders Sim Period-Multiple Real World Series/cars/tracks available
I got this a few years ago
and have been happy with it. This game is really the successor to the F1
Challenge series EA and ISI put out a while ago that is also heavily
modded. I have F1 seasons and tracks from 79,88,91,05,06,07,08,09 as
well as Champ Car 05-06, Indycar 94-95,08-09, GT cars, Mclaren F1
Challenge, Zonda Challenge,Historic Rally Cars Mod, F430 Challenge, and a
lot of single cars for use in the all tracks and cars series.
You
can use any track for any car you have, say using Indycars on F1 tracks
or GT cars on Ovals. I've got I would say about 100 tracks from the
modding sites as well as the series mentioned above for over 20GB's of
data, so rFactor is really not about the stuff it comes with but the
stuff you can get online that makes it the ONLY racing game you should
have. You can get Formula Japan, GP2, and many other series cars and
tracks. They are free to download and the details and graphics are
amazing in most of them, the best I've seen are the CDTP F1 2006 and IDT
Champcar and Indycar series. The GT ALL 3.96 comes with both new and
old GT cars in a lot of paint jobs and configurations, including
Porches, Mosler, Corvette, Viper, Saleen, Ferrari and any of the other
GT1/2/LM/etc. classes you can think of.
There are hundreds of
tracks to download and race from every corner of the world as well as
fantasy tracks and cars. Like I said you can race any car on any track.
Either they have self installers or you just copy and paste into the
locations folder to install, the same goes for the cars.
This is
really best for open wheel, touring cars, Stock cars and any other
asphalt/circuit based racing, it's OK for dirt rally or trucks but those
are best in the dedicated games like Collin Mcrae or Richard Burns.
This game is fairly easy to adjust the difficulty and other settings
once you play around with it. I'm no strict sim player and thankfully
you can pretty much adjust it to whatever level you want.
This
game also has multiple 3rd party plugins for realistic cameras,
textures, data acquisition, wet tracks and almost anything else. You
should go to [...], fileplanet or softpedia to get cars, tracks and
plugins. So depending on your level of interest this game could replace
your collection of separate games for separate racing types and be
relevant for a long time to come, every race game fan should get this
period.
The best value in sim racing !!!
Great game, wonderful online
community. Hundreds of cars, hundreds of tracks. Check out
rfactorcentral.com to see all that is available. New cars and tracks
released almost daily. Always something new to try. F1 cars racing
against huge semis at Bristol or NASCAR at Monaco. Off road trucks &
buggies, sprint cars, late models, modifieds, rallycross, F1 from 1955
to present, champs cars, IRL, AMLS, stock cars, touring cars, sports
cars and many more.
Can you tell....I'm an rFactor junkie.
Excellent racing simulator
I purchased this game for use
with my Logitech G25 force feedback wheel. Man, am i happy with it! the
cars are completely tuneable in fine incriments from rev-limit to brake
bias. almost all the cars are upgradeable too (not the F1 cars). there
is a good selection of open wheel racers from low hp trainers to F3000
and F1. there are stock cars and several different closed cockpit
vehicles too with FWD, 4WD, and RWD trims. unfortunately the vehicles
have that "generic" style too them that somewhat poorly emulates the
real vehicle it was styled after. its obvious this title was designed
around extremely accurate car physics and not aesthetics, however the
cockpit view in each vehicle is very detailed and realistic.
there
is a small handful of courses to choose from with a few variations of
each. there is a large mixed dirt/tarmac rallye style course that lets
you test your off-road capabilities- highly recommend! it winds through
mountain s-turns then back down to the valley and through a small town. a
skilled player can enjoy drift style technique on the tarmac s-turns;
incredibly difficult but challenging and fun on a racing wheel. the oval
style racing in either the F1 or stock cars is also really fun. it lets
you fine tune your car to find the perfect setup to get a nose out on
your competitors.
overall this is an excellent racing simulator.
the graphics and sound effects are super realistic. the only room for
improvement would be name-brand vehicles and a few more tracks to choose
from. definitely one that will stay in my gaming library for years to
come. i only recommend this title if you have or will be getting a force
feedback wheel with clutch and 6spd gearbox capabilities.
