GP2 mod for rFactor released

Open wheel fans, there's something new to play around with in rFactor. A GP2 mod has been released. If you don't know, GP2 is the new feeder series for F1, replacing the former F3000 series. I believe Nico Rosberg won the first championship and he's now driving for Williams. Anyway, grab the mod here: http://www.startyourengine.org/modGP2/ Either the 7 part or the single file release. Some discussion of the mod at RSC is here: http://forum.rscnet.org/showthread.php?t=243238 I just got it installed myself so I'm not sure how it is yet, but the public feedback I've seen on it is good so far. -- Ped Xing

Only did a couple of laps at Orchard Lake R/C, but so far I like it. The rear end is a bit twitchy, but I guess this could be cured by some setup work, sound is great and so are the graphics. Cheers, uwe -- GPG Fingerprint: 2E 13 20 22 9A 3F 63 7F 67 6F E9 B1 A8 36 A4 61

Oh, I thought they'd finally got it sorted well enough that it could emulate the old Crammond sim ;-)

I didn't like the default cockpit camera, so I modified the camera file. If you feel the same, maybe try these settings. First go to: C:\Program Files\rFactor\GameData\Vehicles\GP2 SERIES Backup the GP2_cams.cam file. Replace the COCKPIT section to be: LocalCam=COCKPIT { Fov=(75.000000, 60.000000) Clear=TRUE Color=(164, 218, 249) ClipPlanes=(0.0225000, 500.000000) LODMultiplier=(1.000000) MipmapLODBias=(0.000000) Size=(1.000000, 1.000000) Center=(0.500000, 0.500000) Flags1=(0) Flags2=(0) RadiusLimits=(0.000000, 0.000000) OrientationRate=(999.000000, 999.000000, 999.000000) PositionOffset=(0.000000, 0.1500, 0.4000000) OrientationOffset=(-0.030000, 0.000000, 0.000000) Radius=(0.000000) } -- Ped Xing

Is it not possible to move the seat in-game like the other cars?

The version I downloaded is in french, is there another version or do I just drop the files in the usual places..

I didn't know if it had to be in a different folder or not. I didn't use the default folder when I originally installed the game. Thanks, I'll give it a try..

Sure, but the first time I tried it there was a limit to how far I could position it. Then I decided I wanted to change the FOV and it was just easier for me to set it in the file with the F3 mod as reference. -- Ped Xing

Hehe, those familiar with sparkling wine and champagne would instantly know what "sec" means. ;-) So, who is familiar with champagne? Well, those winning races, of course... Uwe can't have won many. Huhuhuh And, btw, it is spelled "pluie". ;-) ---A--- On 15.02.2006 13:52, Uwe Sch�rkamp wrote:

Sure I haven't, but you're correct, "secco" and "prosecco" is what provided the hint ;) Cheers, uwe -- GPG Fingerprint: 2E 13 20 22 9A 3F 63 7F 67 6F E9 B1 A8 36 A4 61
