Rfactor just doesn't look quite right to me, the cars look like they float or glide across the track surface..........I'll be interested to hear peoples opinions however.....but its going to take a lot to get me away from LFS.

I'd also like your opinion on your advantage 1 pedals Exar.....

I downloaded it this morning thinking it'd be a demo until it's unlocked, just like LFS. Oh well, I'll try the demo in a few weeks when it comes out.

I hope I like it. I can see a big future in this game if it's good, with so many mod avenues.

I have been at RSC looking at 1st impressions and that's the one thing everyone seems to be happy with. Obviously there's varying degrees of satifaction about physic's and graphics like any game that's been released, but no one has complained about the netcode.

sounds alright then, although i believe this game will live or die ala GTR on the mods that are produced.

That's great

Been having a blast around tonight with the AoR guys and if it's netcode you're worried about then no need. It's as good as LFS's. Other cars might as well have been on a LAN for how much they warped. So no issues there at all. Definitely prefer the roadcar feel over LFS, dunno about the open wheelers yet. Problem is, I got these new pedals so it's kind of hard to come up with a benchmark since I haven't played LFS with them yet.

Anyway, prefer GTL's graphics although rFactor gets me more frames - as much as LFS in fact. Don't like rFactors textures at all although the actual engine is good.

I think I like it but I'm not sure yet. I reckon the mods will be what I'm really going to enjoy.

Oh, and if anyone is worried about having to unlock cars then don't be. Just jump into any practice session and type into the chat window "ISI_BABYFACTORY" without the quotes then exit the track and you'll get all cars and heaps of money. You need to do this for both OW and SR series.

Still 50/50 if I should grab this, I think ill wait and see what everyone thinks after a week or two, if its taken off then I will be buying

Post by **Bauer** » Thu Sep 01, 2005 11:56 pm

well i just had a run online with the ATR guys and fuck me if the inside of my car didnt catch fire after a nasty crash. I had flames leaping around my dash for fucks sake.

I was chatting to Haze on skype at the time and he was unable to emulate my feat during his major taste of wall

Dr. Pain · Post by **Dr. Pain** » Fri Sep 02, 2005 2:34 am

I got my code and had a run in the open wheeler and man it was sweet. I'll give it a good flogging over the next few days I feel. First impression is a good one so far.

I'm not sure I'll have time for LFS and AAL now.

I was really looking forward to rFactor and for me it is a little bit of a let down. It's a cpu pig :P Cockpit looks like it was taken from GP3. But the worse thing for me is something feels like it's missing from the physics. They just feel......not right somehow.

But carn't wait till the modding community gets ahold of it
