Is there a way to get mirrors in the cockpit? Though the two are different games, GTL is my preference. LFS is better than rFactor, even despite the fact that rFactor is moddable. LFS' physics are better and tire grip is way superior. Once LFS gets a move on things and allows track add-ons and such, rFactor becomes a thing of the past for me, if it isn't already. Alanb

Never miss a chance to bash rFactor, do you? The thing that puzzles me is why the hell did you buy it?

I don't think there's anything wrong with saying that I think GTL is the better game (and so is GTR). There's too much confusion with rFactor and all the flood of mods and "beta" tracks have diluted the worth of the game. GTL, GTR (to a lesser extent) and LFS give me a much better feel of things than rFactor. I don't see anything wrong with saying that. You don't have to agree and I never asked that you do. As it now stands, I'm looking to sell rFactor (or trade, if someone wants to give up a Guild Wars' account : ). Alanb

A game that's designed to be easy to mod is guaranteed to produce this scenario. I can't possibly see how anyone could think it wouldn't. The only areas where GTL/GTR really excel is in the cockpit graphics which are works of art obviously done by a top shelf professional 3D artist. There's been plenty of lame/beta tracks for GPL over the years but that doesn't make GPL a bad sim. I'm not sure that you have a clear understanding of what rFactor is about or from where it's evolved. GTR/GTL (and LFS in some ways) are all currently more polished products than rFactor but they're also much more stagnant.

So one guy gets a default oval track from rFactor, plasters some placards from another speedway (might have been from Nashville-- I can't recall), and then calls the track something else based on those advertisements.

How long has rFactor been out? How long do you think it takes to make a top shelf, high quality mod? Your impatience is astonishing. I'm no rFactor lover. I enjoy everything from LFS to GPL. The difference is that I don't buy a game designed for modding and then bitch on RSC and RAS 10+ times about what a poor job the mod community is doing and how therefore rFactor must suck.

Alan, have you tried any of the mods? Before you sell it, if you haven't tried the Porsche mod you should at least give it a shot. Also, before you sell, take a Superkart around Mills Sprint for 20 laps and then make your decision. The gfx aren't quite GTL level but the driving sensation is fantastic! I'm one of those who thinks we're just seeing the beginning of a long run for rFactor. The numbers of online players have started to pick up too. We're going to be getting scratch-built F1 tracks by CTDP along with a full 2005 F1 carset that looks phenomenal. For me, it's becoming a one stop shop for all kinds of racing - which is exactly what I thought it would be. -Marty

Can someone explain to me why some think the ability to create tracks is suddenly a bad thing, and exclusive to rFactor? A huge number of tracks, and many car mods, were created for F1C, N2003, and GPL. Some were bad, some were good, and some were excellent. I don't remember the auti sim world ending because people could make scratch tracks and conversions. Everyone seemed happy to see new tracks. I bet Noonan made some nice $$. With rFactor, tracks can be made that are far better than those in previous sims. I have had no problem whatsoever picking the good tracks. Trois, the new AF-RF1, Brands Hatch, A1 Ring, Lime Rock, Birmingham, and Brazil are all excellent. -- David G Fisher

Though I think your view is a little extreme, I do think rFactor would be a lot better if the company itself decided to stamp various seals of approval on mods, tracks, etc and linked to them from their site. This would be great incentive for the modders to reach certain levels/standards and make the entire process for customers much more painless.

Alanb, What the heck does your preference of GTL or LFS over rFactor have to do with this thread? Perhaps you are feeling a bit deprived that your precious favorite sims are without a top-quality kart mod??? -Cos

Simple comparison, my friend. Actually, LFS has a nice little kart-like machine, which outdistances the rFactor mod by a mile. :) Also, I didn't know the rules of this forum stated that you must not waver from the discussed topic, even if just by a little. Too, there's no way to say what is or isn't good unless you compare it to something else. So, I could call you ugly, but if I don't have anything to compare your ugliness to, then I don't know what you are. :) I'll just call you ugly and move on. :) Alanb Alanb
