Just saw that. I was kind of looking forward to Enna. Do you guys want to run this practice test race?

Enna Cancelled. We have cancelled Enna because it is dangerous to run on with the multi-class series. I am really sorry about this because even I have a decent setup for this race. We have replaced it with the ….

Is this part of Rfactor?

[jrowland96]

Well, I dowloaded and have been playing with the mod....

First impressions are that the cars are pretty cool. Easy to drive though for the most part, and you'd really have to TRY to spin it or lose it in them (at least at daytona).

The default setup's gearing is way too high for Daytona, and you top out in 6th gear just getting onto the straight, so you redline in 6th pretty much the whole time you're on the oval (I'm attaching a tweaked setup with better gearing, but I was just ballparking it, so they still need to be tweaked... running #1 with AI at 100% but not by much.

If you use the Headsup GUI mirrors (the three arcade-like ones), like I do... they don't work. Running with the AI, I noticed that the front mirror shows the car IN FRONT of you, but flip-flopped... doesn't show cars behind you... lol

Use the ISI_BABYFACTORY cheat, and then upgrade the cars to the LM package. I suck with setups, so I'm sure they can be made much better. I'll try driving on another track, but at Daytona at least, they pretty much ride on rails.

Yes it is....VOR was asked to test the new McLaren F1 Mod.

[jrowland96]

Is this part of Rfactor?

It's a mod for rFactor that they've been talking about for a long time on RSC. VORs guys talked with the modders and we're beta-testing for them... no other beta versions have been released before, I don't think, so we're the first to use it.

[Rob Lowe]

How do I get it?

[davidan]

Hey guys, I am going to use the time tonight to practice for brands hatch instead of testing this mod. i'll be on ventrilo if you guys connect.

[TimCollier]

Same here, gonna skip this McLaren F1 thing and turn some laps at Brands with DA...who else is in?
