So I'm spending the 54.99 and getting it...

My question is, what files do I need/want to get the most out of it, and is there anything I need to know?

Cheers in advance guys.

Cheers mate, I didnt know there was so much content out already...

there is a lot more out there than that too. that site is a wip and is still having things added to it daily. check the rfactor forums at rsc for more.

what about 1.087 patch? with the nascars and Leniz?

1070 is an official patch, 1087 is for the nascar rules, and you can get nascars for 1070. Lienz atm is independent of patches

hey there, im just about to buy rfactor as well. my question is in regards to the mods. when you add say teh porsche carrera cup mod, does this then overwrite the other cars/tracks etc? so in essence i guess im asking if you add the carrerra mod, can you only race carreras? or is it just another option of car to race in the car selection screen?
cheers, hope that the above questions make some sorta sense

and is the 1070 patch still the latest one out that i need?

no, it adds another option to what you can drive. It still retains the 3 classes of tintops.

yep, there is a handy list of all the mods you have installed, and there are many out there, anything your interested in you should be able to driver (unless its road cars, but there coming soon via jtc and ecc)

Well, despite some comments I have made previously on rFactor I thought I'd make myself a liar and a hypocrite and buy the full version anyway....what's the harm in a bit of variety hey? Had a spare $50 to waste (not really but I felt like spending it anyway) and I have to say, in the few hours I have played so far I've already got half my moneys worth

The mods are easier to install than I expected and the Megane Trophy and McLaren mod's are great. I knew rFactor had great sounds but the sound quality in the mods is fantastic. I have had a few troubles with the game freezing though when changing between mods

I'm far from sold on the online racing, compatabilty and ease of rFactor but hopefully gets better with time. Physics overall arent bad but I just dont seem to get the same feedback through my wheel as in LFS.
I don't think I'll get too involved with rFactor but there is plenty of fun to be had and will be worth the $50

Its not better, its not worse, its just different to LFS. I like it for the pure variety it offers and the chance to drive real cars on real tracks.
LFS and rF both have a place on my HD.

Be sure to turn your virus checker off when you play it, everything plays and opens much quicker.

I bought it today, and I like it:)
Graphics and sound are years ahead of LFS.

Annoying unlock system though...
Unlocking stuff is a console trait.

you should definately patch it to 1070 and hopefully the new patch will be out soon anyway.

I loved PCC. they were a lot of fun. You should get the McLaren mod as well as the Proton/Demon mod. Follow that with the All Car mod and you can have a mixed bag of different classes on track at once.
