Like you, I enjoy an evening of just driving alone in practice, mastering a track, and besting my own lap times. There's a ton out there, the best all recommended in this forum, and all free. Also nice about rFactor is that it was designed as a framework for freeware mods. My first racing sim was GPL, and the 71 mod really gives you a lot of the same feel, but with higher fidelity physics based on a 7 year younger game engine. And modern PCs run it with all the graphics settings max'd out with no problems.Īs someone else said below, rFactor with the F1 1971 mod is really a hoot. That would definitely give you a nostalgic flashback, yet with revised graphics to give the game a little better look than the original. I followed the article's instructions and it worked to a T.
RFACTOR PHYSICSEDITOR HOW TO
Again, SimHQ did a nice piece on how to install it on a modern PC.
RFACTOR PHYSICSEDITOR 64 BIT
If you liked GPL, it works fine on Win7 64 bit (I have it on mine). We have yet to try the 2011 version, but the 2010 version had some issues, and the one and only patch for it made things worse. If you enjoyed GPL, you won't enjoy Codemasters' F1 201X titles. Is that the only GPL type game around ? Running WIN7-64. Have the itch to try some kind of F1 game again. With XP my wheel(s) didn't work and I passed the whole mess on to a family relative. Just that the end product doesn't always match the hype.īack in the late 1990's I had a lot of fun playing GPL on my homebrewed WIN98 computer. Please note: this is NOT to say that I think they release bad games. (General rule of thumb for a Codemasters racing game - if they tell you it's going to be their 'most accurate simulation' yet, they probably mean 'most accurate dust kicked up as you drive by' or 'most accurate simulation of rain on a visor' and certainly not anything to do with accurate driving physics or anything else the sim guys typically look for.) When I play one of their games, I expect a "Need for Speed" kind of experience rather than a "GPL" kind of experience. With Codies, you gotta take the games for what they are and not for what they say they're gonna be.
That is primarily because of the long history some of us have with Codemasters, the amount of wild hype they put into their products, and the promises they make that they seem unable to keep. You'll find a lot of differing opinions on it and it's not even out yet.
It's probably mainly 2010 patched with some added features.
