hmm no they dont need to be unlocked, did you extract the files to the correct places? (if they were zipped)

uumm cant remember exactly without looking at a fresh install of rF but that sounds about right, lower spec machines does'nt mean less cars will show up in game.

Radeon X300 series. I think thats it yeah that'll be it! Highly recommend an upgrade as your other PC specs are just fine, I just got a 7600GT (256mb) for just £108. Lower spec cards are alot cheaper so you can find some bargains out there. If however you cant afford an upgrade do the following: 1) get the latest drivers for the X300 2) Disable ALL un-needed background apps 3) Check that any Anti-Virus stuff is turned OFF, rF has a problem with AV files using VET or something. Avast is free and does'nt cause problems (at least on my machine) 4) Run the game in DX7 with no Anti-Aliasing at the lowest Res with all options on LOW/OFF then gradually work up until you get a respectable FPS Tip: CTRL+F in game for FPS and Memory Meter Bar, you may have to hit CTRL+F a couple of times to get them both up. hope that helps Thanks m8, thats a great help I cant afford a new Graphics card atm so will try what you said. Just one thing, how do i run it as DX7? in your rFactor parent dir theres a file called "rF Config.exe", run that and under Shader Level select DX7. That should give you optimum speed so if you have loads of FPS after tweaking the ingame settings try DX8 just to see how much you lose, might not be as much as you think

they look bloody cool, cant wait

could be your Anti-Virus, I've read things about AV that use VET or something that causes staggering in FPS. I had a simular problem when using Norton, switched to Avast (its free) and the problem cleared. Other simple things could be a Defrag/ScanDisk/Spyware/Virus check just to make sure the Dis is'nt caching something it should'nt be. Also make sure any background programs that are needless are turned off and stop and unessential startup programs through 'msconfig'

hehe excellent mate, keep up the great work everyone at LPC

It mentions a DEMO....oh my god its close.....cant breath.....must open lungs....must have this mod! eerr yeah so whens the Demo expected?

BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION for me with COWDENBEATH as my Scottish team (long explanation...)

those shots look quality, good work

woah thats amazing! gotta do a run in the 2CVs

I was looking at track creating in rF but my GOD theres alot involved! I'm used to the simplicity of UnrealEd not various programs + 3DSMAX + countless txt files...might give that a miss and just go make some levels! Anyway the point of this post was to enlighten you all about a great mod that will be here very very shortly, Caterhams.....that is all!

mmmmmmmmm those shots are tasty! Good work guys

probably get it next week, hav'nt touched the FM series since 2005 I think and wanna take a fresh look.....and no doubt get addicted! wish I had a PSP as that would just be great!

I am a member of the GRC which always have loads of servers up and running http://rfgrc.co.uk/phpBB2/index.php just joined GRC last week

I've got tons of stuff, come installed, some not, some bets, some....you get the idea! Recent winners with me are: V8Factor, Seat Leon, BMW-GTR, Zonda, McLarenF1, Demon/Proton.

I only found out about AutoSimSport mag a few months back, its a great read...beats The Mirror anyway

dunno if anyones aware but the online car sim mag AutoSimSport: http://www.autosimsport.net/ has got an interview with Madcowie including some mouth watering screenshots of the BRISCA mod for rFactor! the mags a free download and a very decent read for lunchtime I still cant strees it enough..if you dont own rF go buy it now...you will NOT be disappointed!

Going to see Anti-Flag & Rancid next month, i'm a huge Pennywise, Strung Out, NOFX, Pulley, Face To Face etc etc etc fan! Also a Springsteen, AC/DC, Metallica kinda guy.....along with cheesy 80s disco pop and electric

exactly what i was thinking lo, they all look cleaned up for the pic my desk is far from tidy!

Mug of coffee with a squirt of WD-40 and a mini-mars bar melting inside....mmmmmmmmmmmm

I've had rF over a year so no point in my 1st impressions, but my continuing impressions are that it gets better every week. The recent V8Factor mod is superb, the amount of tracks is staggering and I'm loving Hidden Valley at the moment. Anyway heres my pic, excuse the poor phone quality...note my fave drink alongside my fave V8 Team Roll On Bathurst! [attachmentid=9889] IGNORE the pink flowery stool....its a mirage or something

Going back some 15 years now but I swear I read in some magazine that Silverstone was getting a Short Ciruit built into (then) new plans for redevelopment. Presuming it never got done so did I dream it or was it in the pipeline? if the latter any reason they gave for not making it? ta muchly
