RFactor New Must have Mods.

Maybe I should give it a try then, but I dont want to end up finding its impossible with a controller as then I've wasted 1gb bandwidth out of 40gb month, cant afford a wheel atm :(.
 
Just download the demo then & give it a spin before commiting to a purchase. It is a shadow of the game but at least you will know whether you could deal with it via a controller.

Shame you didn't live close you could have come round for a test drive. I don't give test drives often as when i stick my mates on even though tehy haven't even got a PC or been near a game i cannot get them off it :mad:
 
I should also add out of fairness that i have met Lots more players of LFS that use controllers. On RFactor only 1 or 2 use a controller & most have wheels where as on LFS you meet quite a few people using a controller.

I'd download Both demos & have a Blast, It's a crap Satruday anyways just go for it & have some fun & post back what you think later as it may helps others that only have a controller.
 
I always played Live For Speed but I like the look of Rfactor. But I just couldn't get to grips with the demo.

The money back thing sounds good so maybe I'll give it a go. What is the best mod?

Aye I'll give the demo ago.

I'm never on games long anyway :p, very rare I'm glued to the pc or anything on a game :D. Last game that cause that was TDU, driven about 1500miles in a day :p.

AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!! :p:p:p

Can, Worms, Everywhere.
Check out that link with the mods all listed & go through the Hall of famers then decide yourself mate is the best answer i can give you :)

Personally I would say

Caterhams.
288's.
Aussie V8's.
 
stop using buttons for braking then will, if you are going to use a controller, use the analogue aspects for steering accel/brake, digital buttons do not lend themselves to sims at all bar various view buttons and gear shifting
 
Definitely try 1979 F1 mod, it's thrilling to drive.

Is it not easier with controllers also? I thought it would be harder with a wheel.

A wheel is far easier than a gamepad. Range of movement on gamepad axes is far far too small and it's too difficult to be precise and smooth.

Having a bit of trouble with that mate but I'll try to answer what i think is your question.
For starters No serious Sim racer mentions consoles in the same place that people are talking about PC Sims.
As far as which one is best that is very debatable & Totally down to the Individual. You have a choice of 2, Either RFactor or LFS S2.
Don't get me wrong I love Forza2 & PGR4 on my sexbox but they are Arcade racers not Sim racers.
I have No experience of GT5 but if console i would dismiss it just the same.
My personal fave is RFactor because of the many mods & unlimited tracks you get for nowt, Literally if you cannot find a Mod & a track that suits you on RF then there just isn't one that will ever suit you :p
I have been involved with the game for ages now & even got my copy for Free off the creator Gjon Camaj :cool:
Anybody that wants to challenge what i write here needs to go drive Nords in a 288 & then come back to chat ;)

sorry i was being sarcastic
just funny that the console section declares gt5 as a super sim when pc gaming like rfactor is so far ahead
i prefer gtr2 to rfactor though as it has better graphics and rain but rfactor is very good if playing the right mod
 
The GTR series is a good one but is spoilt by inconsistency's whilst driving caused by bugz in the coding. Shame as looks & sound wise it is Awesome.
 
I've just installed it and the only car I have is this standard banger, do I have to download other cars etc..? I tried entering a server and I got booted for unrecognised vehicle.

Also I was using in car view and as I was turning the steering wheel turns so far its really unatural is that normal?
 
You won't be able to play online with the demo of RF mate but you can play online with the demo of LFS.
Like i said the RF demo is pants & i don't think i have even run it myself. The steering can be altered though by reducing the turning circle of the wheel in options.
It's really only a way you can find out whether you have any chance using a controller & how it runs/looks on your system.
The wheel on my screen only moves as much as the wheel i am holding so perhaps it is something to do with using the controller & its over sensitivity
 
When I get the PS3 I might see how Rfactor is with a PS3 Controller as thats got triggers so should be better, but yea it seems I am going to need a wheel tbh.
 
Give LFS a bash mate i know quite a few play that using a controller no probs at all. I have LFS myself it is a Fantastic driving game. You can even play the demo online :cool:
 
Nice one fella :) I was thinking of getting back into this again. Just thinking it might be a bad idea as I'm learning to drive at the moment haha
 
Been thinking of buying this for ages and ages. Liked the demo and that's meant to be a bit pants so that bodes well. Have seen it for £17.99 from one well known company so might take the plunge. Just wish someone would develop a motorbike version of this, and also a hardware set of handlebars ;)

I don't think I have any excuse not to get this now :) Someone talk me out of it!
