A couple of weeks ago I bought a new pc, so finally I can play sims
like GTR2 and Rfactor. I also bought the G25 so I'm a very happy
person now :)

Because my old pc really couldn't handle modern sims (I started to
have crappy fps with F1C, let alone GTR2) I really missed out on
everything that was released the last couple of years.

The first sims I bought after I got the pc were GTL and GTR2. Great
sims. However, this weekend I bought Rfactor, and after messing around
with a couple of mods I must say that so far this really is a
fantastic sim.

Especially the 1979 mod blew me away, but also the F1 mod, Historic GT
mod and tracks like Pikes Peak, banked Monza and Bathurst are superb.
The possibilities of Rfactor are endless and Im surprised it hasnt
been picked up by everyone yet, comparing to the huge amount of
modders for GPL, which is much less userfriendly to make mods for.

Anyway, what I would like to know is how to get rid of the whole
buying cars stuff. I downloaded the F1 mod, and the only car I can
drive is the Minardi. Im not allowed to drive the Ferrari. This
sucks and I really hope someone can give me a fix for this.

Also, is there a shift-R option? I couldnt find it in the config
menu. Would be quite handy for those Pikes Peak sessions ;)

Cheers
Andre

Try these:

In a single player game, fire up a test day, type ISI_BABYFACTORY (with
capitals) in the chat windows, leave the track and you should see your
credits go sky high. Now, pick any car you like from that series.

ISI_SKIDMORE - gives you back a percentage of the money you currently
own, must be typed multiple times if you are low on cash

ISI_SKENDERBEU - gives you a percentage of experience points that you
currently have, again, must type multiple times if you don't have much
experience

If that doesn't work for the CTDP mod then try this:

goto your UserData folder

\rFactor\UserData\yourname\

Open F1CTDP.cch

Under CAREER, find "Experience" (it's the first line) change that amount
100000 or more

Save

rFactor is very good, although there is also an Aussie V8 mod now for
GTR2. The GT cars have never really done it for me but the V8s are
somewhat more frenetic. The AI is pretty good too in true Aussie V8 fashion.

This may seem a bit mad but running a V8 in the wet is great fun. There
is a big selection of tracks for GTR2 too. In its original form GTR2 is
about endurance racing, the V8 mod gives us more of a flag to flag flat
out style I prefer.

I would highly recommend it although getting through all the mods and
tracks for rFactor, GTL and GTR2 is going to take all of your available
time!

Cheers
Tony

Nobody mentioned the ISI_BABYFACTORY thingie yet? Gives you tons of
money and experience, I believe.

Good to have you back, Andre! ;)

BTW, I was in a Porsche cup race last night at Silverstone and saw a guy
named*** Trickle. Reminded me of the RASCAR era, but he was gone
before I could ask him or her if they were the same person.

Cheers, uwe

What do the "experience points" do for you? am I handicapped because I just
fresh installed the rfacotr back onto a fresh windows, and I am racing with
league guys on practice nights (in the SCE mods?) I didnt know about the
upgrades for the cars (engines and stuff, didnt make that much difference
though, but that could be just my drivin skills)

I really wonder what the experience does, make the car have more power or
something, or is it going to be like giving yourself "ranks" in NR03?

Thanks Tony. I don't understand at all why the hell they implemented
things like money and experience points in a sim like this, but
luckily there are cheats :)

Don't get me wrong by the way, I like GTL and GTR2 also very much, but
driving the Ferrari in the '79 mod around Monaco was fantastic. Gonna
try that baby on the Ring now :) This mod and for example rallycars on
Pikes Peak give me a sensation of danger and speed that I haven't
experienced since GPL. I miss that sensation a bit in GTR2 and GTL.

Netkar Pro is very promosing, but too much beta for me to actually
buy. RBR is awesome, I allready had it on the PS2, but driving with
the G25 makes is a lot more fun than driving with a gamepad ;)

Any other sim released in the last two years that are worth checking
out?

Cheers
Andre

Thanks :)

Porsche cup.. that's Rfactor you're talking about?

Yep, there's a porsche cup mod (PCC05) out, check rfactorcentral.com for
details. I don't race it that often these days as my prerfence is with
the sports cars and F1 1979, but it's usually easier to find a
full-field pickup race in the Meganes or PCC.

Cheers, uwe

I think Tony mentioned it, in his first reply. ;)

Yep, that 1979 mod is great. However, yesterday I added some AI's
during a test sessions at the Ring. When I started the race, the AI
were flying all around me through the air, spinning like crazy.
It was quite a funny sight so I watched it for a minute.
But then suddenly Rfactor freezed, ctrl-alt-del didnt even work, had
to give it a hard reset.
Same thing happened when I started a 1979 race at Monaco.

Is there allready a fix for this problem?

And - is there a 'reset car' option? On some of the tracks, like Pikes
Peak, the car easily gets stuck while driving off the road. Shift-R
would be nice :)

Cheers
Andre

Glad to hear you like the 1979 mod. Sorry but I have no idea what could
be wrong with the AI there, they drive quite nicely and pretty fast on
my end. What kind of start (standing / rolling / pace lap) was set for
the race?

Not that I know of. Just stay on the black stuff, keeping the shiny side
up ;-)

Cheers, uwe

I don't know, didnt know I could choose that.. will do some testing
and I'll let you know.

Problem is that is no black stuff at Pikes Peak, only sand and mud ;)

Are you getting some sort of ***ed enjoyment out of driving a 70s F1
car in those track conditions? No wonder you crash all the time! ;->

Climbing Pikes Peak with a rallycar is for sissies, a real man does it
with a '79 Ferrari!
Actually I haven't tried that, nice idea though, worth a try :)
The Ring is great btw with that car!

Andre
