I also highly recommend EnduRacers and the greatest mod of all time on all sims, World Sportscar Championship 1970. . . .

Really? I have both these mods and they get next to no use.

The mods I spend most time with, because I enjoy them the most are:
Vintage Formula Vee by strava
Lola Formula Ford by Dave Sabre
F5000 '72 by HSO
and the Caterham mod by Major Parts.

WSC, is SO awesome.
It's amazing how real it feels. I've done a lot of reading on the cars of that era and from the looks of it they nailed the physics. What I REALLY want is a proper conversion to rF2 so I can drive them in the rain.
It takes a lot of practice and skill to drive these cars. Take a lot of getting used to.
If you like power oversteer, you NEED to drive the 908/3 at the Targa Florio.
The 914 drives just like I've been told it does IRL. My Dad did a few laps in the 911 and also agrees that it feels pretty close as well.

If you want to love this mod, you have to give it some time to learn the proper driving techniques necessary for driving them.
Heel and toe FTW. :D

Yeah, I've heard that before. Wish they'd let Sandrox on their team, I know he has a pretty high quality R18 and he has all those other add ons.

And on a completely different note, I got my mod conversion attempt in game and working. Still need to work on the sounds, the cockpit and getting the gauges/steering wheel to work, the head lights, and fix a few bugs...
REALLY low quality model, I still like it though.

u Kidding right sandrox just make conversions for simraceway and most of them come from pcars + forza4 the Golf R on simraceway now he converted that from forza4 and the lotus cars on his site are also from pcars, dont get me wrong he can rip a good car 👍


but anyways bundy beach v3 http://www.nogripracing.com/details.php?filenr=36359 its nice

Direct download no sign up http://www.mediafire.com/?5f3e82t33g4nbh1
 
Tried downloading this but it is giving my poor laptop fits.:ouch:

Anyone have the apparently illegal Group C mod? Good fun!

Which one is this?
I'm STILL waiting on VLM to release their Group C mod. Think it has been like five years now haha.

This is it...but it only has about half of the cars.
It was illegally converted by Someone at
virtual classics. It's awesome though!
They have:
Jagaur XJR-12 - 6 skins
Porsche 956 - 20 skins
Porsche 962 - 20 Or so skins
Porsche 962C - 20 or so skins
Mazda 787B - 4 skins
Sauber C9 - 8 skins or so
Toyota - 2 skins
Nissan R90 - 1 skin
Lancia LC2 - 15 skins
And I think there might be one more car..not sure though.

All cars have working physics, models and sounds.
All cars now have lights and backfires. Motecs I am still working on.

All cars are now in MAS files so that things are neater, smaller and hopefully work better.
All cars now have external skins instead of model textures.

I will hopefully do more cars as there are many many more in the GTR2 mod.

To Install:
If you have the first version (v0.5) then delete the "GroupC_Mod" folder in the vehicles file to avoid conflicts. All other files can be overwritten.
If you have changed the sounds you may want to remove the SFX. files.
Otherwise just drop into your rF folder and all should work fine.

I have included the sounds from the gtr2 mod but I would recommend changing the 3.5 Ltr cars to the sounds from the "F1SR F1 1991"
as they are so much better, and the 3.5 ltr groupC engines were basically lifted from f1 cars.

The changed sound files are in the "Spare 3.5ltr sound files" folder.

Hope all works any probs let me know.
Enjoy

REQUIREMENTS:
_______________
To install Prototype C, you must have a full install of EA Sports F1 Challenge 99-02.
500Mb Hard disk space
INSTALLATION:
_______________
1.) Run PTCInstaller 0.95.exe
(Important note: The installer program may point to your F1 2001 directory by default. Be absolutely sure you've redirected it to the F1 Challenge 99-02 directory!)
2.) When prompted, Browse to your F1 Challenge 99-02 directory and select F1 Challenge 99-02.exe Click OK
3.) When prompted, Select your Config.ini file from the same directory. Click OK.
4.) Click Install. Wait....
CREATE A SHORTCUT
5.) Using Windows Explorer, browse to your F1 Challenge root directory.
6.) Right click on Prototype C Launch.exe and Create Shortcut.
7.) Move this shortcut to the desktop.
CREATE A PLAYER
8.) Run Prototype C Launch from the desktop.
9.) In the Player Manager Menu, type in a name for your player. Click Create.
8.) Go back to the Main Menu and click Start.
ADJUST YOUR CONTROL SETTINGS
9.) Go to the Options-Controls menu and set up the controls configuration to fit your controller. (note: The default controls are set for a Logitech® Formula™ GP)
10.) Pick a track and drive!
THE LAUNCHER:
_______________
Prototype C Launch.exe was created with the purpose to allow you to make the most of many advanced features of F1 Challenge 99-02 that are otherwise unavailable from the in-game options screens. This includes advanced controls options, force feedback settings, graphics options and more. By default, the recommended settings are selected for you.
The Prototype C Launcher also gives you better control over season selection than the standard in-game menus by automatically adjusting the number of AI opponents for you. For this reason we recommend that you exit the game and use Prototype C Launch to change seasons (changing cars within a season in the game is fine). This ensures that the grid size will be set correctly so you will not have any dupicate cars.
All player creation and deletion should be done by using the Prototype C Launcher.
PHYSICS MODELLING DETAILS AND SOME SETUP TIPS:
__________________
These cars are all very setup dependant. Expect to spend much time in the garage trying different settings if you want to be fast at all types of track.
Tires:
------------
The Qualifying tires should be used for that and only that. They are something like the consistency of pencil erasers; they heat up quickly and will give you at most three laps of extreme speed before overheating and falling off in performance.
The Hard compound is a solid race tire. There will be no trouble in getting a set of these tires to last through a full fuel stint. Three or four laps at most tracks to get up to operating temperature, but once there you'll get some nice performance and a nice stable feel.
Some cars may also have a Soft compound. This tire is a nice balance of Qualifying and Hard compounds. It will give a slight advantage over Hard compound speed with the sacrifice of a shorter life and a greater tendency to overheat.
Aerodynamics:
------------
A great deal of time went into matching the aerodynamic characteristics of each car to real world numbers so that each car has a very specific aero load range, distribution, sensitivity, etc etc etc... These cars all relied heavily on the massive downforce loads generated by their underbody tunnels, and were rather ride height sensitive in that respect. Optimal height is generally around 4cm, but that can get tricky to maintain when the car is making upwards of 8000lbs of downforce. You will want to have a static height a touch higher than that and count on the aero loads to bring the car to optimal height while in motion. Observe the methods used in the setups we supplied to see how to make the most of your car's aerodynamics.
Brakes:
-------
Carbon-carbon brakes weren't the most evolved thing at the time these cars were running. Highly temperature sensitive and quick to wear, you can easily run them down to failure over the course of a race by being consistently heavy with your left foot. Best to make sure they have adequate cooling and take an extra 30-40m when going into heavy braking zones.
Engine Reliability:
-----------
Much research and testing was done in making each car as reliable as it was in real life. Holding these motors at max revs for any period of time is not a good idea and will have it's costs over the longer races. Read the car notes in the main screen menus to get an idea of how reliable a car may be.
AIW:
------------------------------------------
The AI has been optimized to use an AI strength between 90-95% and Agression settings less than 50%. Going above these settings may cause some strange racing lines begin to show up.
KNOWN BUGS:
_____________
Some small transparency issues when using 16-bit color.
Any issues can be brought to our attention at the following forum

REQUIREMENTS:
_______________
To install Prototype C, you must have a full install of EA Sports F1 Challenge 99-02.
500Mb Hard disk space
INSTALLATION:
_______________
1.) Run PTCInstaller 0.95.exe
(Important note: The installer program may point to your F1 2001 directory by default. Be absolutely sure you've redirected it to the F1 Challenge 99-02 directory!)
2.) When prompted, Browse to your F1 Challenge 99-02 directory and select F1 Challenge 99-02.exe Click OK
3.) When prompted, Select your Config.ini file from the same directory. Click OK.
4.) Click Install. Wait....
CREATE A SHORTCUT
5.) Using Windows Explorer, browse to your F1 Challenge root directory.
6.) Right click on Prototype C Launch.exe and Create Shortcut.
7.) Move this shortcut to the desktop.
CREATE A PLAYER
8.) Run Prototype C Launch from the desktop.
9.) In the Player Manager Menu, type in a name for your player. Click Create.
8.) Go back to the Main Menu and click Start.
ADJUST YOUR CONTROL SETTINGS
9.) Go to the Options-Controls menu and set up the controls configuration to fit your controller. (note: The default controls are set for a Logitech® Formula™ GP)
10.) Pick a track and drive!
THE LAUNCHER:
_______________
Prototype C Launch.exe was created with the purpose to allow you to make the most of many advanced features of F1 Challenge 99-02 that are otherwise unavailable from the in-game options screens. This includes advanced controls options, force feedback settings, graphics options and more. By default, the recommended settings are selected for you.
The Prototype C Launcher also gives you better control over season selection than the standard in-game menus by automatically adjusting the number of AI opponents for you. For this reason we recommend that you exit the game and use Prototype C Launch to change seasons (changing cars within a season in the game is fine). This ensures that the grid size will be set correctly so you will not have any dupicate cars.
All player creation and deletion should be done by using the Prototype C Launcher.
PHYSICS MODELLING DETAILS AND SOME SETUP TIPS:
__________________
These cars are all very setup dependant. Expect to spend much time in the garage trying different settings if you want to be fast at all types of track.
Tires:
------------
The Qualifying tires should be used for that and only that. They are something like the consistency of pencil erasers; they heat up quickly and will give you at most three laps of extreme speed before overheating and falling off in performance.
The Hard compound is a solid race tire. There will be no trouble in getting a set of these tires to last through a full fuel stint. Three or four laps at most tracks to get up to operating temperature, but once there you'll get some nice performance and a nice stable feel.
Some cars may also have a Soft compound. This tire is a nice balance of Qualifying and Hard compounds. It will give a slight advantage over Hard compound speed with the sacrifice of a shorter life and a greater tendency to overheat.
Aerodynamics:
------------
A great deal of time went into matching the aerodynamic characteristics of each car to real world numbers so that each car has a very specific aero load range, distribution, sensitivity, etc etc etc... These cars all relied heavily on the massive downforce loads generated by their underbody tunnels, and were rather ride height sensitive in that respect. Optimal height is generally around 4cm, but that can get tricky to maintain when the car is making upwards of 8000lbs of downforce. You will want to have a static height a touch higher than that and count on the aero loads to bring the car to optimal height while in motion. Observe the methods used in the setups we supplied to see how to make the most of your car's aerodynamics.
Brakes:
-------
Carbon-carbon brakes weren't the most evolved thing at the time these cars were running. Highly temperature sensitive and quick to wear, you can easily run them down to failure over the course of a race by being consistently heavy with your left foot. Best to make sure they have adequate cooling and take an extra 30-40m when going into heavy braking zones.
Engine Reliability:
-----------
Much research and testing was done in making each car as reliable as it was in real life. Holding these motors at max revs for any period of time is not a good idea and will have it's costs over the longer races. Read the car notes in the main screen menus to get an idea of how reliable a car may be.
AIW:
------------------------------------------
The AI has been optimized to use an AI strength between 90-95% and Agression settings less than 50%. Going above these settings may cause some strange racing lines begin to show up.

Ooh! I've got to try it out.

Does anyone have the GridMod Rf edition?

Ohhh I've got to try it ou5
 
I go to play rFactor, taking a break from one of the Lamborghini Seasonals that left me frustraited and what happens? Its now pissing me off as well :grumpy:

I try to select a track and different car and it keeps reverting back to the last car and track I used. Can anyone help me out with this because I'm just frustraited beyond belief.
 
Hmmm...I'm not sure. Does it revert back to the standard in game cars like SRGP, or OWChallenge?


And I have problems as well. I downloaded he group c mod, and none of the cars have skins. Why is this? I have uninstalled, and then reinstalled twice now, and the cars are still black/grey.
 
Hmmm...I'm not sure. Does it revert back to the standard in game cars like SRGP, or OWChallenge?

Not necessarily, just keeps reverting back to the exact same car and track I used previously. Its a problem I seem to have every once in a while.
 
I've decided to take a gamble and try and make my own skins.

Just wondering what software people use for making their own skins. I have a vista computer.

Would be a big help if someone could help out, cheers

Well theres free ones like Gimp or Paint.net and then the payware like Photoshop (currently my choice for painting).
 
Adobe Photoshop?

What are the free ones like?

Yep, Adobe Photoshop.


As for the free ones, I've used Paint.net and it has some decent features in it. Not as advanced as Photoshop, but it gets the job done. Can't really say anything on Gimp Since I've never used it. I believe Jav probably could tell you more about that then I can.

Ok, thanks very much you got me pointed into the right direction :)
