rFactor vs other simulations
Posted by turkey_machine
I'm planning an upgrade of my system, mainly cause I need it, but also to play some of the latest and greatest games. However, I've noticed rFactor relys quite heavily on user creation to give it (for example) realistic tracks and cars for the F1 season. How does it compare to, say, GP4 and F1C? Is it worth purchasing now (or in the near future), or waiting later for more content to appear?
Everyone knows that million-to-one chances happen 9 times out of 10; indeed, it's a common requirement in fairy tales. If the human didn't have to overcome huge odds, what would be the point? Terry Pratchett - The Science Of Discworld

GP4 is a more fun sim in comparison. rF is an excellent buy for something with a bit more feel and realism imo 
im looking to buy aswell and wanting to know can ya trust the direct deposit through the moneybookers thing, cause i dont trust credit card thingos, or do u rekon to wait till there is another game that everyone will think that is the best

Well the next "best game" was supposed to be nkpro, but I havn't heared much about it since the release.
rF is really moving forward now, there are some good single make mods, as well as some decent single seaters. There are loads of good tracks about too (though many have been branded "illegal" by RSC).
There is a huge update in the works, which features, among other things, updated AI and better provision for stock car racing (there are some stock car mods around, but I havn't tried them yet.)
The biggest news kicking about is that CDTP's F1 2005 mod isn't too far from completion, most of the F1 tracks are about, and once there is a decent f1 mod i'm sure the others will get done, and then rf will truely kick gp4 and f1c's asses.

I think the only thing to consider about r-factor is : are you gonna race on-line?
If the answer is yes. It is absolutely awesome and essential.
I don't know about the others here, but even though r-factor is my favourite, a tricked up GP4 is still the best OFF-LINE racing to be had.(A.I. and weather)
But then again the best thing about r-factor is; there is always the future!!

rFactors AI is shite.
But then the game was made to modded. But then a nice AI base to mod would have been good :P

How easy is it to mod as a user? In other words, how easy is it to create tracks and cars? I'm all for modding the thing till the original content is practically non-existent... but there's something about creating your own cars and tracks that appeals to me!

Having said that though, max is pretty easy to learn. I got into it with very little know-how of 3d modelling, and now I can make pretty much anything I want in max given enough time
Wishful thinking... is there Blender support / compatibility?

I saw 3ds Max mentioned, and asked a legitimate question! I prefer free software as a rule, Blender included.
What are you trying to get at anyway?

Sorry if you thought that, but nope.
As he sort of let known, he is in contact with ISI.... and ask at RSC about rain and well you get alot of answers.
It was a serious question and he will probably know the answer.
