Historic racing
 
http://www.vimeo.com/1245444

This video is of a truly impressive rFactor mod, which uses GT Legends` models. The amount of enhancements is staggering, its basically GT Legends 2. (You`ll need the GT Legends dvd to play it, it looks for it when you start rFactor with this mod)

Please tell me this is on a cd i can play on xp :yep: :up:

You can buy rFactor on a cd, yes, but I bought it online here:

http://www.rfactor.net/index.php?page=downloads (dont bother with the demo, as no mods work with it, and the default cars are crap) But you will also need GT Legends. You dont have to install it, its just the installer for HistorX checks for the GT Legends DVD when you install the mod, since many of the models are from GT Legends. There are other cars in the mod, scratch built, and the team will add more. The BMW 2002 being one of them! Its a staggering amount of cars, I had no chanse of getting them all in the video.

Oh, and its DX9, so XP will do.

I still play GPL with the newest mods, unsurpassed imo.

I have to disagree, sir.

Gotta love the race sim community. Like a game but slightly prefer a new one? No problem, someone will port the older one over to your favored title soon enough.:D

Yes, kind off, but not in this case. Only the models themselves are from GT Legends. Physics, sounds and massive damage is new.

Warning, this is misleading. I also bought the G25 and thought I owned R-Factor only to find out that it's just the demo!

stabiz 06-29-08 04:00 AM

Yes, but the demo is the full game, after you unlock it. (for a small fee)

Great footage as always, JS. If I could race in the '30s and '50s I'd be all over it.

And if not, expect your oldie to be given a patch to run with the newest OSs. I'm playing Grand Prix Legends (1998) on a high-power XP machine and lovin' it!

:ahoy:

I have to agree. GPL is still the most fun for me due to the old tracks, old cars w/o aerodynamics, no traction control and me driving. :rock:
