rF - Formula Nippon is great!

The Formula Nippon cars are really good add on to the rF! Very nice to drive. And you can even 4 wheel drift (is that the correct word in English?) with those cars - as with the F1's of 67's of the GPL! Does anyone know, how realistically modelled the physics of those cars are in the rF version? If it is well done, those guys driving these cars in Japan must really have lots of fun in that series! Arto --

I'll agree about the mod, but haven't seen any drifts yet, at least not ones on purpose! There is argument about whether the grip level is too high, or if it is an effect of moderate power with high levels of downforce that the cars have IRL. For me, it's quite good and is the mod that I play most often.

While I agree the mod is nice, I really hate the engine sound. To my ears, these cars sound like someone took a cheap microphone and when "eeeeeen, eeenen" like kids do when they play with toy cars ;-D I've been looking around the files in rFm or whatever the folder's called, trying to replace those sounds with the FIS car ones, but apparently I am too stupid or something so I was wondering if somebody has created a better sound pack for the Formula Nippon cars?

go to the team folders and look at the .veh files. You'll see a line that calls the .sfx file. Simply copy the FormulaIS.sfx file from the FormulaIS folder to the Nippon(sorry I don't have the exact name of the folder.). Then edit the .veh files of each team to call formulais.sfx instead of nippon.sfx(again, I'm guessing at the name of the file since I don't have the mod installed.) done dh
