Much obliged Stabiz! Found the OpenGL fix file I needed to change fron D3D to OpenGL and the problem is now gone, yayy. Now if you can show me how to fix SH3 and DC I'll be way happy. Those two have corrupted menus (2D overlays I think), otherwise they're OK. Again, they were fine before the card upgrade. I've been looking all over Subsim, Ubisoft, Nvidia and searches in general, plus asking.

GPL runs fine on my last 2 systems. It's of course necessary to get all the updates, the CPU speed fix and OpenGL patch for higher resolutions. The engine must have been several years ahead of its time, even today it still looks great for an 11 years old game.

Anyway, I've looked at these newer sims and they dont give me that feeling.

So... is this an rFactor mod or GPL mod?

stabiz 09-02-08 05:34 PM

rFactor. But you will need GT Legends as well, since the mod uses models from that game. The physics are totally reworked, its a magical mod.

So I wanted to know about this new sim and played and modded the whole weekend. Tbh I didn't like most mods, but the ones that stabiz posted ( VM Le Mans and the Historic GTTC ) are great. Mind you need GTL DVD for the GT mod, because it lets you play all cars from Simbin in rFactor (how generous!)

The Le Mans track is amust have: afaik the best track I have seen in a sim, there was something special about the 70s and this mod captures it:

Pure art. What a contrast to the bright annoying colors in most other tracks / games. I also liked Road America and the F1 '79 mod.

Conclusion: Oob rFactor looks pretty gamey and too colorful but with the best mods available I like it. No it doesn't make GPL obsolete, but it's close, and I'm happy I finally tried it.

Should run on XP and even Vista just fine. There are a couple of design teams which are working on full-length versions of the Targa Florio and the Isle of Man TT course, tracks the likes of which you won't see in any other sim. Should be out in a few months.

That damned curve always sneaks up on me, too. You know to be careful on Eau Rouge, but that one looks so...easy....when you're coming in to it...
