Sign me up please

Mattia Gottardi · Jul 16, 2010

i'm here....tried yesterday these cars and they are pretty fun!!!!

only a tips for the fixed, but maybe you just know it, keep the brakes duct more low as possible.....atm i'm running with the brakes duct at 1...it seems that in this mod the brakes have some problems to reach the right temperature!!!

thank you!!!

Chris Heller · Jul 16, 2010

Ivo Simons · Jul 16, 2010

Check the upgrade section also guys. I remember i saw there are two different kind of brakes.
One for long races and one for sprint races.

These cars sound simply put incredible

Ryan Callan · Jul 18, 2010

I forgot to mention there is a mandatory pitstop - you can't finish with the starting fuel anyhow

Ross McGregor · Jul 18, 2010

I'm going to give this mod a shot later on and if it all works ok then i'll sign myself up! I've always loved Road Atlanta from Forzas 2 & 3, so hopefully this'll be a great combination!

I can't seem to get Road Atlanta to work. I freezes on the loading screen and I've downloaded it twice. I'll try to get it sorted by Tuesday, otherwise I'm not going to be able to sign up.

Ivo Simons · Jul 19, 2010

Usually means you installed incorrectly.

if it doesn't start you can try this thing:

cut all the tracks out from the Location folder (put them in an another folder in you hard drive outside the rfactor folder.....i sugest to cut because doing a copy of several GB could take few minuts, but if you cut files from the same hard drive it is very fast

)....in the location folder keep only the standard .tdf and . mas files.

put in the Location folder only the track that you want run...

try it in rfactor if works!!! usually in this way i solve every conflict problems with the tracks!!!

Sign me up please, even though these cars are actually awful under braking. Great idea, but as with any rFactor mod, when you try to use real physics data and just plug it straight into rFactor, the game just cannot replicate it well enough. Not that I know how a real Daytona Prototype works, of course, but I think it would be more stable and perhaps a bit better on the brakes than these, looking at how light they weigh. This doesn't really matter of course - everyone knows that a long braking zone = great overtaking.
