Nuppiz, that's great, thank you

Pasta, I love that rFactor thing - apart from the Goodyear tyres on a car that clearly uses Michelins!

Indeed. Aerond, please take note. As soon as you can run the series on rFactor, please do it. That would propel the series to a new level of awesomeness

I would say not for at least 3 seasons (I could run the series on rFactor 1, but I don´t want to do it as I consider rFactor AI stupid and it wouldn´t result in better racing than we have now).

I would agree that the GP series of games has better AI, but for me rFactor has the best visuals and the best driving feel, but that doesb't matter for a virtual series! If you ever change your mind Aerond I'm sure I could furnish you with a copy somehow

In the meantime, if people have an appetite for their liveries in rFactor, I'm happy to do them

I´ve entered Pre-Season test 1 page; Please, at official Pre-Season tests only two drivers per team per test. At Private tests you can do whatever you want. Now Foxdale and Kamaha will need to sort this out, or I´ll choose drivers myself; not a problem

Seems to be correct now. I think teams should check it just to make sure the drivers are correct.

Why is Dofasco listed as "Slow?"

I personally want to revise the Revolution livery again - I want to add "Your logo here" and Honda logo. Would that be okay Shizuka?

You're trying to have an input on the livery of another team? Now that's cheeky :lol:

I don't know if you do custom helmets in F1RWRS but I found this in the 1995 Carset (don't ask me why I have the '95 carset) and I thought it would be perfect for Nicolas Steele:

Shizuka, here's the revised Revolution livery:

Would that be okay Shizuka?

Yeah, turns out they're no longer good for temporary picture dumping, as now they're forcing you to register to get the link to your image. Unless you view the page source, of course.

In any case I switched to PhotoBucket ages ago so that it was easier for me to organize any images I upload.

Shizuka · Post by **Shizuka** » 28 Aug 2012, 08:37

Please remove the HRT references, and we're all fine. I'd rather go with a noticably empty livery now, time to not play reject.

MinardiFan95 · Post by **MinardiFan95** » 28 Aug 2012, 09:15

Simpson Motorsports will be running in the tests with both regular race drivers (Daniel Melrose and Mitchell Macklin).

If you just want to quickly upload an image with the minimum of fuss, give imgbox a go.

Personally I like imageshack - I registered once and there's no hassle

From page 9. So Martin McFry plus whichever Mann is not at Aeroracing on each day.

And it likes BMP files, of course after it converts to PNG. Automatically.

Shizuka: You think Honda logos and HRT references don't mix? :cry:

Here's it:

Aerond: Only Naufal is paydriver.

I have a new tweak to announce; This season (to avoid having to change the whole carset all the time), experience points (random grip) will be added every 4 or 5 races instead after every race or test session.

Quite good idea in my opinion.

Pasta, I'd want to see all (currently submitted) liveries in rFactor.

(BTW, Aerond says that in the future this very series will be run on rFactor 2 IIRC

)

I'm working on it

Next one will be the MRT on a 1988 McLaren... I have a feeling it's gonna be beautiful

Shizuka · Post by **Shizuka** » 28 Aug 2012, 13:49

Thanks for the updated livery, it will be good. Close to my original "run the car fully black with no sponsors whatsoever" idea from months earlier.

What 2008 car would you like?

And here's the promised MRT (please ignore the goodyear tires :lol:

Either BMW or Force India. If you can't make out which sponsor is which on the original livery as its faded then just ask

Looking forward to the results. Wonder if Dofasco and Mecha will be slower then an a Andrea Moda without an engine.

An F1 2008 mod exists, but I can't get hold of it for love nor money at the moment. The demise of mega upload has left many older rFactor mods inaccessible due to the mod's creators not being around any more or just no-one being willing to re-upload.

The cars I have installed on my machine are:

F1 1982 (minus backmarkers)
F1 1983
F1 1984
F1 1985
F1 1988
F1 1990 (minus Ligier, Onyx, Tyrrell)
F1 1991
F1 1992
F1 1993
F1 1994
F1 1997
F1 1998
F1 1999
F1 2000
F1 2002
F1 2003
F1 2004
F1 2005
F1 2009
F1 2010
F1 2011
