New Ferrari F430 rFactor Mod

This seems like something special. It gives just about the best driving feel of any sim or mod I've tried. You can really throw the car around and yet still save it. Check it out at rFactor Central: http://www.rfactorcentral.com/detail.cfm?ID=S.N.R.%20Challenge Pat Dotson

I'll have to give it another try, I thought it looked great, but seemed like it lacked grip. The Lambo Murcielago is still the most fun car in rF imo!

The Lambo Murcielago is still the most fun car in rF imo! Really? That surprises me. It feels more connected to the road to me somehow than most anything else. Is the lack of grip feeling only at high speed? In that case, are you taking into account that the car has no aero downforce to speak of? The thing that gets me about that Ferrari mod is the ability to recover the car from extreme side slip angles. During a counter-steer manouver the force feedback lets you know exactly when the front tires are pointing in the direction of travel, making it easy to consistenly case the car from spinning. I've never gotten that steering feedback quite as precisely as from this mod. It's not a dumbed-down canned feeling either. I haven't driven real cars at the edge enough to know exactly what saving a spin on dry pavement feels like. This mod does feel like a lot like it does when counter-steering to save a kart from a spin. Pat Dotson
