You evil buggers!!!!

Did you wait for me to go to bed before releasing it???

Many thanks for your efforts guys, I'm downloading now. My wife thought I'd got the lotto results or something when I saw RD's front page.

Like Rhys said it drives how i expected it. (What i see on TV offcourse)
Little bit more better handling then 1.3 wich is offcourse logical with the 2010 version.
Still need to watch out for the power. Got some moments i felt to comfortable and resulted i me trying to catch a big oversteer moment.
FF is great btw. (using the orginal rFactor FF)

Remember this is a Beta mod, so if you have any constructive feedback, please let us know.

I will create a bug thread (if any do arrive) and will move the posts into there.

Hello,

Taking a look at the suspension file (v8SC.PM) in Suspension Editor (v2) the rear suspension looks extremely 'weird' and/or broken.

I notice the note about ''"Impossible Panhard" - simulates V8SC style Watts link''

Is this by design, or a mistake in the numbers? as some of the elements go way out of being true, and there is no connection to the rear uprights and ETC. I wish to build a base set up for a friend wanting to drive in the league and would like to know if this is by design, or a mistake?

Cheers, Mark

For some reason I only get the pace car at startup. Is this not a stand alone mod or does it need a previous version?

 

[Aussiholden]

Excellent Job boys, huge improvement, defiantly agree about the feel, much better than previous, any chance to give the sounds a bit more rumble feel, more bass, seems still a little bit tiny, I want to feel that motor through my sub-woofa mate.

Go to the Series selection screen in Customise>Vehicle and select the Community Edition. :wink:

 

[Sean Rockhead]

Thanks Rhys...I should've thought of that.

 

[Ivo Simons]

And if you want the 2010 version you need to download that pack.

Mod feels much more immersive. I always felt like the older versions were a bit held back but this has already shown a marked improvement in that regard. And the damage has improved as well I see. I cant wait to devote a good hour to this really well done Beta.

Great job guys, fantastic fun to drive.

Excuse my ignorance but do these cars have a manual gearbox in real life or sequential? I remember looking into this a while ago and found that some drivers prefered a manual and some sequential but not sure how accurate or up to date that information is.

 

[FDG Stitch]

Exquisite Lovin ya work guys.

 

[Ivo Simons]

Since 2008 all Seq i believe.

 

[Jeff Dobbing]

Thx for the quick response Ivo

Hey Mark

Krunch will be offline for 2 weeks, but from memory this is what we had to do to simulate the rear end. It is intentiional, and the only way we could make it work using the limitations of rF.

[Ivo Simons]

Thx for the quick response Ivo

Dont pin me down on it. But believe it was something like that.

 

[Senad Subasic]

Cool trailer. Makes me wish I had rFactor

Well, our boxes are both. They are a Manual 6 speed Hollinger Gearbox, with a sequential selector mechanism built for them.

That way you can only pop 1 gear up/down at a time.

The cars run what could be referred to in SIM terms as an "auto lift switch" on change up (a micro switch at the top of the selector shaft that interupts the throttle for a fraction of a second), but most drivers still use the clutch and blip on change down.

Is that clearer for you?

 

[Sean Rockhead]

The renders are fantastic. Visually, seems ready for rFactor2. Sounds are also up to spec. You guys have definitly done your homework. just finished 30 laps at Orchard lake and loving it so far.

 

[Rhys Gardiner]

What Bacon said is true for V8 Supercars after the 2008 season. Before that (ie. V8Factor 2006), V8 Supercars used an H-pattern gear selection method, but the way in which drivers used the clutch was the same as it is today: you didn't necessarily have to use it when shifting, but drivers often preferred to use it manually to allow for smoother shifting.

Here's a video of Greg Murphy's footwork from 2006, the year the original V8Factor simulates. This was when VV8 Supercars still used H-patterns, but they had the ignition cut that Bacon described:

And here's Russell Ingall in 2008, heel-toeing on the downshifts - but he is using the sequential gearbox.

So really it comes down to personal preference, but for the BA/BF Falcons and the VY/VZ Commodores, as well as the 2007 VE, I'd think you should use an H-pattern shifting style for maximum realism.

 

[Jeff Dobbing]

Wow, Excellent footage (no pun intended). Thx guys, a lot clearer now
