Wow! rFactor PCC + Nordschleife 2007

Hi!

I just drove the new PCC 2007 on the new Nordschleife 2007,
and I'm slowly trying to calm down again...

The cockpit, the FF, the brakes, the thrill of driving that
Porsche on this beautiful track. There are many great mods
and tracks available for rF, but IMHO this combo takes the cake!

Not intending to hijack this thread, I have a dumb question, somewhat
related to mods and updates. What are HAT files? Why do some mods instruct
you to delete old ones? And finally, are they responsible for the recent
splurge of CTDs with some car mods?

Thanks for the tip, downloaded the mods after reading your post.
Simply the best mod for rFactor so far, totally awesome.

Cheers,
Andre

I'm enjoying the track, of course, but I'll withhold judgement on the PCC07
until I can get the nose to stop plowing. The front bar is disconnected, and
the rear wing is as low as she'll go, and still no hint of neutral handling
in sight. It's twitchy on trailing throttle, but that still isn't a good
handling car. How are you guys getting along with the new ride?

Hmmm. I'll have to take all of that back. I had problems the other night,
and brought it to Sebring to tune it, and nothing seemed to work. Going back
to a more reasonable setup, it behaved quite well just by bringing the ride
height back down, to the point of riding on the packers at times. The FF
settings also make a *huge* difference on perceived limits. (Duh!)

Hmm, no problems here with 21 AI in front of me.

System: 1280x1024 on Intel Core 2 ), X1950Pro, 2GB Ram.

Now if the AI were not so STUPID, I could enjoy the mod racing,
as it is, I'm just hotlapping...

This production has 'marquee mod' written all over it. But are the Cup
cars really this 'boaty'? I preferred, frankly, the tighter, flickable
handling of the Porsches in GTR2, a game I no longer play. The problem
with GMSF, one has the impression, is Fonsecker with his defensive,
dig-in-the-heels reaction to any contrary points of view. He's
undoubtably talented, but, for chrissakes, all the better mods have
required multiple updates before hitting their stride.

It does feel a bit underdamped on fast bump/rebound, and overdamped on slow.
And it gets dicey after smacking the packers at the bottom of Fuchsrohe. But
so what? It'll make for great racing. I even like the slippery feel of the
fall and fog variants.

I've given up on hotlapping for now, and just enjoying the depth the new car
and the new track bring. All of it is still new and fresh enough to be
enjoyable. I even found lapping it tourist style, at a brisk but sedate
sightseeing pace, rewarding. It's a great track, very thoughtfully laid out
and finished. The car also.

Yea, if you have the energy and strength of purpose to memorize all
the damn turns.
