V8Factor 2006 (V8F)
Australian V8 Supercars MOD for rFactor
by
ORSM : Ozzie Racing Sim Modders (ORSM)
http://www.teamorsm.com
Version 1.0 - September 2006
------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation:
Follow the instructions in the V8Factor Installer. Please make sure you select the correct path to your rFactor installation. For those who prefer to extract MODs to a temporary folder and copy across manually simply set the install path to your temporary folder of choice. Please note that this will render the uninstaller non-functional.
Special Features:
UPGRADES: V8Factor includes a few goodies to help you enjoy the racing experience. We have utilised rFactor's upgrades system to allow for more customisation options. You can select different levels of cockpit detail for example, add or remove a supplementary mirror, change wheels, change exhaust position, and even change steering wheel types and readout displays. Make sure you take a look at the upgrades system and try some of the changes. NOTE: These upgrades are visual only and have no performance differences. Exhaust positions should be taken into account if painting new skins.
MOTEC MODE FOR VZ: By default the Ford Falcon BA cockpit has a motec display unit while the Holden VZ Commodore cockpit has a PI display. For those who would prefer a Motec display in the VZ there is a small utility to globally change the PI unit to a motec unit in all VZ's. You should find a new icon on your desktop labelled "V8F VZ Motec Display Toggle". While the game is not loaded, simply run it to change to motec and run it again if you wish to return to the PI unit. The icon links to a file in the Gamedata\Vehicles\V8Factor folder called "TOGGLE_VZ_MOTEC.bat" which you can run directly from there if you prefer. NOTE ON MOTEC MODE FOR VZ: in Upgrades for your vehicle under Dash Unit you MUST install the "Mounted on Steering Column" option or you will have no working display at all.
VZ VIRTUAL MIRROR: For those who find the VZ virtual mirror too high there is an alternative mirror file which is set lower. To use it simply go to Gamedata\Vehicles\V8Factor and rename the file "VZ_VMIRROR.low" to "VZ_VMIRROR.gmt". Rename it back again to turn it off.
Suggested Game Settings:
If you use a wheel as your controller you will get much better feel and response in driving the cars by setting "Speed Sensitive Steering" to zero (move the slider all the way to the left). We suggest you take a little time to 'tweak' all your controller settings to make sure you are getting the most responsive input for your particular controller.
Suggested Player file settings:
Your Player file is called "[yourplayername].PLR" located in rFactor/UserData/[yourplayername] and can be opened in Notepad. NOTE: Editing the PLR file is done at your own risk. We suggest you backup the file by renaming it to [yourplayername].bak before editing.
- Low Detail UI="0" -> Default is "1". Increase the visual quality of the User Interface (UI) by making this value "0".
Known Issues:
- AI tend to be over cautious braking for corners when in close packs.
