I just found this on RSC, I also had a quite worse fps performance compared to the other mods, about half the fps than I usually have. Turned out the mirrors are causing the problems, here's the fix: http://forum.rscnet.org/showthread.php?t=277794 Cheers Andre

No..no. Those links are for the demo except for the F1 1979 1.0 install. Looks like someone didn't read.

I read. Just didn't understand. Not unusual when it comes to me and rFactor ;) -larry "Anthony Brooks" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:7Fpjh.454$[email hidden]...

Can't criticize rfactorcentral though, a great benefit for rfactor enthusiasts, impressive work. Cheers Tony

Would be easier if they would just remove all those demo files, I suspect more people are going to make the same error (installing the demo updates over the full version). Andre

Hmm, after ignoring the first 7 links as instructed, there are no more links for d/l this mod. "Dave F" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

It looks like the demo links have been removed, but the text was not adjusted... all links are now for the 1.0 version of the mod. "M Knorr" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:yiwjh.12642$[email hidden]...

Yeah, this is really disturbing. Mostly every time a good mod is released, the insignificant, who apparently want to be personally rewarded, pile on a bunch of small variations, causing to rest a host of mismatches. Alanb

Fear not, Alan. The mods for the mod refer to the demo. Cheers Tony

"PLEASE READ THE DOCUMENTATION BELOW BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS! Ignore the first 7 links below as they´re related to the demo. There are two installers for the full version, GP79_v10.exe and GP79_tp_v10.exe. One is the main pack and the other is the trackpack. " The first 4 sentences on the page. Tough to follow...good thing they updated the links......:rolleyes:

Not totally, I don't think. There already is a fix for the mirrors. Soon there will be other updates and modifications, made by random people, who might change some small thing to feed the egos. All this causes multiplayer to be a hit and miss affair. Alan

I'll guarantee it, that within two weeks there will be so many updates and patches and tweaks to the '79 mod that it will be nearly impossible to play online using this mod. At least with LFS you can get online and race on the first try; with rFactor, it might take someone ten tries before finding anything, including the scattered fixes and patches and tweaks. Alanb

First off, Merry Xmas! :-) If I am reading you right, you seem to be indicating that MORE content is bad. Now, I completely understand the issue you speak of (incompatibilty) but any author of any mod should try and fix all the bugs and ommissions. rF allows the community to create and modify any series out there, while LFS strictly controls what we get to drive. To me, rF is the far better choice in this regard. As for online, I have yet to participate in any pickup race worth the time it took to find it. 90 minute practice sessions...1st turn heroes....server bosses who boot drivers for the thrill of it. Why bother, I ask? When the original PCC mod came out (hmmmm....seem to recall an outcry to fix THAT mod asap) I tried for 2 solid weeks to play online in pickup races. Frustrating was an understatement. That leaves league play, even informal leagues where each race is its own "championship" and mandatory attendance isn't required. Such leagues typically have all the info regarding what mod, version, carset, etc. is in use thereby eliminating the confusion you speak of.

After spending a decent amount of time with the 79 mod, I think it's pretty good. My single point of criticism is that ISI really needs to implement sliding skirts if ground effect is going to work realistically in rfactor. In reality, ground effect cars were constantly scraping the ground because of the sliding skirts, to the point of gouging grooves in the track surfaces, and that's not really the way to go in this mod. Instead of running the stiffest suspension possible and running the car a few millimeters off the track the ideal setup appears to be the standard soft-ass springs/ride height that doesn't scrape much, which is a shame. That said, the mod team did a great job within the limitations of what they're working with. Certainly a lot of fun if not a realistic depiction of ground effect cars.
