I live in Southern California (USA). At the local EB games, there's about 1/2 shelf for PC games, while there are 2 shelves per console for consol games. At Best Buy, it's just a partial row of games. Then the prices, GTR2 - $19.99, GTLegends - $9.99, Flatout 2 - $29.99 (so much for racing sims...

My Amazon order for GTR2 has slipped. It's now September 28, 2006 - October 9, 2006 -Larry

9.26.06 - Jiading released! Come race at this magnificent circuit set near Shanghai, China. The Jiading Circuit is a world-class motorsport facility that features a challenging mix of winding technical sections and high-speed straightaways http://www.rfactor.net/downloads/JiadingV1.rar

Can anyone point me to web sites containing sales figures for PC games/sims, and also for sim-related retail products like, for example, Logitech steering wheels? I've done a little googling but can't find anything. Thanks, Pat Dotson

Can someone provide some guidance to me regarding the installation of the MOTEC i2 Interpreter in GTR2? Instructions for this are kind of sparse and confusing. GTR2's readme file says to downlaod the "i2 interpreter". However, on MOTEC's webpage, it shows (among other files) "i2 Standard",...

After trying various games online, the only one that gave me an error was Burnout Revenge. The error was telling me about my firwall setting not letting port 3658 through. Why this game and not others? Anyway luckily I knew how to port forward my router..Go to google and type in port forwarding...

Greetings, Searching for a slip ratio equation and its relation to the traction force, I found two seemingly different formulas: slip_ratio = (angular_velocity * object_radius - longtitudinal_velocity) / longtitudinal_velocity F = slip_ratio * traction_coefficient And,

Just bought this sim v1.1 and wow, impressive physics, graphics, unbelievable. I noticed however, that my car and track selection is limited to the austin minis and very few tracks. All the cars and tracks ie: shelbys and hockenheim are greyed out. Do I have to earn these cars or, *ahem*..are...

At least one noticable change in the physcis between GTR and GTR2. When slowing (lift throttle) or braking, and the rear end steps out, you can steer inwards to cause the front end to plow, to correct the oversteer (driver induced understeer). This rarely worked in GTR, but it works well in...

I know NetKar Pro added a "doom" mode, but we may have some way to go before we can simulate this: http://www.dumpalink.com/media/1159439911/A_Day_at_the_Races_

I have downloaded rFactor and love it. I downloaded a kart racing add-on from rfactor central but can't get it to work properly. There was no exe so I manually copied the files to where it seemed they should go but the tracks will not load (can't find the .mas file). Anyone got any advice...

On behalf of the Simmons family I am informing this group that fellow racer John Simmons passed away peacefully last night in his sleep. In leiu of flowers please send donations to: West Coast Sports Cars 2996 Almond Blvd. San Diego, CA 90076

In all the racing simulations I own, the curbing alwasy seems to affect the cars more than it does in real life, at least for F1 type cars. Here's a sample video of David Coulthard in a 2002 F1 McLaren, at Spa, running with a qualifying setup, and a sub 1:45 lap time. Not only does he clip...

I bought rFactor when it first came out but have never patched it. Do I just download and install a patch or do I need to enter a code (which i've lost) or something? TIA TB

Someone posted this with no solution last year, and I have the same exact problem... wondering if there is any new solution. Thanks <I have some problems with this wheel (usb, non-Pro). I need to switch my pedals to split axis mode. I read somewhere else that I need that stupid buggy...

For those of you have already gotten their copy of GTR2 -- What are your impressions so far? What's better? What's worse than GTR? I have the demo of GTR2 and, while the graphics are definitely improved, I'm not sure what else would convince a GTR owner to get GTR2. Just curious as to whether...

Hopefully something similar to createing a file as it was for GTLegends.

Having helluva time getting my geforce 7800gs (let alone my 6600gt) card to run NR03 (papy). Neither in ogl or dx... I know this motherboard is older VIA P4M266A / VT8235 chipset with 2.8 Prescott chip on it (478 motherboard) and AGP. Anyone else remember having problems with Vid card stop...

Greetings, I'm reading "ESL 04-10: Simulation of Vehicle Longitudinal Dynamics" in an attempt to write a car simulations engine. However I came across several dilemmas and was hoping to find answers here - In page 3 an equation (04/01/C) of the form: V = (-Fxt + g*sin(theta) - Fd(V)) / m Was...
