Hi Tom, I have no idea if the demo version allows installation of mods, but if it comes with the excellent Formula ISI (FIS) class cars, you should have a blast no matter what ;-) All the best, uwe -- GPG Fingerprint: 2E 13 20 22 9A 3F 63 7F 67 6F E9 B1 A8 36 A4 61

Aye got there in the end :-) What controllers do we all use?

rFactor blows IMO. I just got a DFP and its more enjoyable to play rFactor but I still prefer LFS because its just nicer... GTR is fun too but I like the regular production cars. law1979 wrote:

Your detailed analysis of the pros and cons of rFactor, especially as they relate and compare to LFS, will undoubtable help countless individuals in their quest to pick out "the best racing sim"

There is no way to control the car in rFactor compared to LFS because the car grips like none other until the tail kicks out. When it does no matter what kind of pedal work you do or how much you countersteer your going to spin out no matter what. Sure its easier to grip with the DFP wheel but just hope you never lose the rear. Probably another reason why no one tries to drift in rFactor as well.. [email hidden] wrote:
