HistorX Mod Version 1.96 & DL link

[Rupe Wilson]

As a avid GTL club racer im always on the look out for the next GTL, and after a good few days testing with fellow club drivers im very impressed with this mod,
I feel it may be a successor to GTL for a club racing, the ffb is very good with the real feel plugin, superb sounds from the cars plenty of well made liveries and a great selection of cars to choose from.

Who is driving this mod would any be interested in using this mod for club racing, with the added bonus
of other content from Rfactor to be used once in a while for fun nights, If we get enough interest i will consider running a few test nights to see how it all comes together as a package.

As you have to manage you engine in this sim a XD style hud with engine health is what we use
this was suggested and tested and as a group most of us are using it.

For rFactor i use GID v1.1.4 really good Thanks to Davy Vandevenne who pointed us in the direction Click ME

We had a couple of issues that some had no engine health But thanks to an observant member Roland Warmenhoven
he got it working . something to do with the version of the exe and the hud needs the previous one.
Ths sim still runs and works ok .
So if you use the HUD and have no engine health you need to use this .exe
replace the rFacotr.exe with this one Click ME

You lucky people as yet I have not tasted the delights of this sim, but it's WIP here for an upgrade the parts list is being researched & reviewed see you all soon

Cheaters! Just blow your engine and take it like a man .
I use this very sophisticated technique to preserve the engine: Step on the gas and hope for the best.

But jokes aside, i for myself prefer to drive old cars as authentic as possible (cockpit, H-shift, no electronic helpers), i'd love to see something like in power & glory, where a guy holds up a board on the finish straight with your position and gaps, so we could turn off the hud completely .

 

[Rupe Wilson]

Wow what a night of fun,
thanks to all that showed up , i was ever so surprised id found my feet in the big muscle cars..
putting in some great laps with Jarek.. i was keeping up..
love the drifting feel when pushing these big monsters..

wow wow and double wow

Yep, I'm similar. I've been doing my testing by looking only at the oil & water temps, they usually let me know when I'm overstressing things. I haven't seen a real car yet (or at least an oldie) with a HUD giving me engine life remaining. But I might just look into this HUD mod.

BTW, even in GTL, you can destroy an engine. I managed to blow up my Mini engine this morning in spectacular fashion. Rupe is still cleaning the soot off his Mini.

 

[William Levesque]

Wow, I don't think I've ever blown an engine accidentally in this mod, even with the 4 cylinders

[Tristan Clark]

Would hate to be a rear tyre @Rupe Wilson !!

 

[Rupe Wilson]

Or an engine

 

[Rupe Wilson]

last night in GTL i had a mini engine go pooooof 100 yards up the road black smoke every where
this morning i had a big V8 muscle car go BOOOOOOOM not more than 5m of the rear of my car, it looked so impressive with all the flames...

I have the day off work due to a power outage. I've been on for an hour or so and will be on for most of the day if anybody would like to join me.

 

[Tim Ling]

I was on earlier, but every time I tried to escape to the pits, the game crashed .

Just did a complete fresh reinstall from rF lite, and now trying to get all the configurating done.

I had the same issue.

Apparently if you edit the /Plugins/GrindingTranny.ini file and set PluginActive=0 then the game CTD when you press ESC to exit the session.

To prevent this, if you want to disable the grinding tranny mod just move the Grinding Tranny .dll and .ini files out of "plugins" (you can create a new folder just there and put them inside, or may be pack them into a .zip and then delete the files).

THANK YOU SO MUCH! That was driving me nuts
As I don't (and will never) use the shifter, the grinding tranny (aka Jack's sister-GTL guys know what I mean ) will never be used.

Great fun yesterday, i was barely keeping up at first but that's fine as i love the taillights of that Challenger .

I guess you didn't take a Simca Rallye 1300 up Pikes Peak then .

Today I'm home all day, girlfriend went to work a minute ago so i'll be hanging around a lot in that lobby of yours, El Rupinho.

After running round Bathurst offline in a few cars big & small, I love it The cars do drift easier than in GTL, but they still bite hard when you push too much. I love the crisper graphics too. The only down point is the "sinking sand"-off the track means out of the race!
The FFB is great too.

Are the gearings too short ? Because under normal circumstances there really is no issues

The cars do drift easier than in GTL, but they still bite hard when you push too much.

That's something I always disliked in Simbin games. The transition to oversteer wasn't smooth, it felt like it was switching to a secondary set of physics.
