rFactor Porsche Carrera Supercup mod is out

Porsche Carrera Supercup mod is out for rFactor get it here http://www.team-gsmf.com/ At last some real cars in rFactor. The saloons have always disappointed me in this sim - these feel more like race tuned cars to me after a quick go. Initial reaction is they feel about right in comparison to the GT Legends Porsche - i.e. stiffer cars with race tyres. I like both! Cheers Tony

I gave it a quick spin (litterally) and it's absolutely amazing. Kudos to the makers of that excellent mod.

Raced this mod online last night with a few fellows, WOW! It was really FUN. You must warm up the tires, else low speed corner exiting will light them up quite easily.Very nice Mod indeed. Ducwizard

Anyone else having problems running this mod? It's a real dog on my computer.

Also the timing display goes wrong (in the "monitor"). Where it should say the times it says "PCC", and the driver names are screwed up. -peter

The original skins are 2048x2048, so there is huge jump in the gpu usage to display these. The medium ones are 1024x1024 and work quite well, IMO.

Everybody's pc is creeping along (relatively) with this carset, including the med res version. It's ironic, with all the whinging on RSC about 'more fps, please!', along comes the PCC mod which promptly moves to the top of the online hit parade. What people really crave is Quality, framerates be damned.

Well, perhaps to a point. Having a photoreal image is great, but at 5 fps it's not drivable. Even with the hi res set, once I turned down the texture detail from full to high, I was back into the 30's. I then switched to the med res set and I get 50's now, with high 30's at the start, back of the grid. So I have very good quality and very acceptable (for me) fps. You can run with lousy quality, but not with lousy fps. BTW....P4 3.0, 1024 400mhz DDR, Radeon x850 Pro 256mb

Anything below ~45fps is unplayable for me. I can put up with lower at the start of a race but after that it's hard to drive smoothly with a lower frame rate. The 2048x2048 textures are fine on my 256MB x850XT but I'm guessing 128MB cards or cards with slow GPUs might struggle.

Hmm, something doesn't sound right there...you should be getting much better performance with that rig..

outstanding mod for rfactor. I went back and played gtr with a porsche for comparison, and it just looked poor by comparison graphically, and I used to like the stock tracks in that game, but now they look so unphotorealistic by comparison to rfactor tracks. Also, the physics in the mod feel more like what I would expect the cars to feel like, albeit GTR physics are more demanding.

Check out this hilarious thread: http://forum.rscnet.org/showthread.php?t=237885 GSMF's controversial decision to 'fudge' on the F:R weight distribution has unleashed a veritable Katrina at RSC.It appears likely that this Porsche will be headed back to the garage for a few adjustments. Stay tuned.
