Don't think my machine could cope - P4-2.2 with a GeForce 4 :-(

I'm running an Athlon 1700mhz with a ti 4600.. it's ok in most cases, but the Porsche mod kills it..

I don't mean to sound ignorant, but I don't race PC sim's online (I've got an XBOX for that) , should I still consider rFactor?

Yes, it's got so many extras out there that you can find something you like. Also you can play online if you want to, that works good too..

rFactor doesn't have the mods yet that it really is an alternative. It also has computer requirements that many of us can't meet. Then there's the fact that if you're happy with your racing sim, then there's no point in getting a new one just because everyone is all hyped up on a new one!! I race GPL still, even though it's almost 8 years old! Anyway. The 2006 season and the wads. Get a carpack manager! I have forgotten where I found it, but I think there was one called "CSM" that somebody told me everyone used. It will help you install the wabds an dthat stuff in the right places. /andreas -- A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

Should you get it, also checkout the GP4Italia mod for the 88 season... Its a complete season set, so you can expect attention to detail. gp4italia.org is the link; I have both the amazing titles (GP4 and F1 Challenge), and its mostly free practice which I do nowadays in GP4... If not a race, I do set a timed lap before a GP with a custom setup. Anand

No doubt, get it, your older machine will cope with rFactor better than you think, least mine does, (2.4 intell, 1.5 Gig ram, (worked ok with 512 Megabyts also & the TI4600) I have the 6600gt now, not much difference overall perfomance, waiting for money to goto PCI-e then move up more... In fact it runs rFactor much better than it will run GTL, even though I love GTlegends a lot more gamewise, (and frankly put up with less PC perfomance in GTLegends by a factor of .5 or half)... Right now there are a half dosen mods I think... But One thing not noted in this thread so far is, REALISM vs Having a Real "Named" series by the original coder/publisher is NOT there. the series are fake but based on real ones, so if your looking to race Villinuve for instance& his paint {ack does he even drive?, spelling sorry} sorry Im sure there is a paint skin out there somewher eby now? Add ons somewhat get around licensing costs/issues I believe. In fact I honestly feel some time soon there wont be licensing payments from game makers in the not to distant future? Not as much more bad or good but as a handshake & thank you from big companies, for hopefully decent "advertising" they would get in the sims, not that "F1" or "NASCAR" or "ALLTEL" will ever pay for exposure in sims soon, but maybe no more EA buying up BS licensing? After all, movies and TV don't pay Frito Lay to have characters eating potato chips, cellphones or beverages in them.... Steve enlightened us with:

I think the F1C mod has all of the 2006 cars in version 1.05, and you can get most 2006 tracks off the net (Shanghai / Istanbul being the exception, I believe). Cheers, uwe -- GPG Fingerprint: 2E 13 20 22 9A 3F 63 7F 67 6F E9 B1 A8 36 A4 61

I don't think so. I had rFactor but I asked for a refund because I didn't like the 3 time install and then have to request a new code malarky. I reinstall the OS too often to put up with that.

RSC has a huge thread entitled "re-installing does not cost you an activation!!!!" in the rfactor section, but I am not sure if this refers to re-installing windows or just rfactor itself.

I'll look into it. Thanks.

A re-install (or multiple installs) = no activation FORMAT - fresh install = activation required (unless you have a backup of your TryMedia folder that can be restored) The "short version" Hope that helps ==--== "Uwe Sch�rkamp" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
