Allan268 Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 Download the rFactor demo a few weeks ago. First thoughts was the engine was excellent, great handling and so much potential. The let down at first was i was too lazy to get my wheel out the cupboard. Finally bit the bullet today and what can i say. Gobsmacked, absolutely superb response to the wheel, so good i just bought the game. The good old trusty MS Sidewinder FF wheel came through on this game and i can't wait until we get the Stock Cars on this. Anyway i thought i would use this thread as a "post your setup sort of thread", so heres mine.
erik Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 The only thing I can think of which I dislike about rFactor is the "musicy" sort of noise the engines make. I can't take a picture of my setup ATM but I use a Logitech "Dual Action" controller now, having intially used the keyboard.

gazmo Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 he has to have a little space to himself when playing lol

The London Allstar Posted October 7, 2006 Report Posted October 7, 2006 Post a picture of how your computer is setup at your desk
MarcG Posted October 7, 2006 Report Posted October 7, 2006 (edited) 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 Edited October 7, 2006 by MarcG

It's the corner of my front room, i sit on an old scabby chair to race.
Badura_Racing258 Posted October 7, 2006 Report Posted October 7, 2006 Your keyboard is far too over to the left Allan. Where am i meant to kick my feet up when i thump you at PES5?
Jarry164 Posted October 7, 2006 Report Posted October 7, 2006 you drink WD 40 ? mmmmm.............slides down nicely tho, who needs aftershock
MarcG Posted October 7, 2006 Report Posted October 7, 2006 Mug of coffee with a squirt of WD-40 and a mini-mars bar melting inside....mmmmmmmmmmmm

Andymek Posted October 9, 2006 Report Posted October 9, 2006 Not got round to getting myself RFactor as yet,aint sure if my ole PC can cope with it to be honest.Have had it for over 6 years now and the only "upgrades" to it being a NVidia 128Mb Graphics card and an extra 256 of RAM knocking it up to a whopping 384. Probably better just holding off just now until I can do a decent upgrade and get RFactor when that happens.. Here's my PC setup......
Allan268 Posted October 9, 2006 Author Report Posted October 9, 2006 Thats a wheel of champions Andy!
Guest Scrapman53 Posted October 9, 2006 Report Posted October 9, 2006 (edited) Do you race with the wheel there Andy? If so it must be like Harry Burgoyne going round the bends. PS. Ive used a MS wheel for 6 years and recently bought a DFP. Needless to say, the DFP is back in the box and only comes out when I need a clutch pedal for RFactor. Edited October 9, 2006 by Scrapman53
martwisely Posted October 9, 2006 Report Posted October 9, 2006 How much people have cleaned aroiund there computer n gave it a little dust before taking the picture

MarcG Posted October 10, 2006 Report Posted October 10, 2006 How much people have cleaned aroiund there computer n gave it a little dust before taking the picture exactly what i was thinking lo, they all look cleaned up for the pic my desk is far from tidy!
Guest Scrapman53 Posted October 10, 2006 Report Posted October 10, 2006 Here's my mess. Lol. Note the cd cases to tilt the keyboard as someone broke one of the feet off it, the rubber hanging off the steeringwheel grips and just the general clutter. I sometimes use a fresnel lense for RFactor and it's really good. But I can't use it the same for Heat. I'm hopefully going to make my own raceframe, got a bucket seat up the loft waiting. The desk takes up too much room.
Guest Trash Posted October 10, 2006 Report Posted October 10, 2006 Note to self: must be subtle and put trophies in view ready for picture lol.
Guest Trash Posted October 10, 2006 Report Posted October 10, 2006 Note to Andymek: lose the white wrist-strap lol. Why the heck they put white headphones and wrist strap with black PSP's is beyond me!! Mine is still in the box I think!

Guest Scrapman53 Posted October 11, 2006 Report Posted October 11, 2006 Lol Stu. My trophy is used for holding down a particular key on my keyboard. That's why it's kept on the desk.
Allan268 Posted October 11, 2006 Author Report Posted October 11, 2006 Yep mines is used for holding the wire for my mouse, to stop it falling off the desk.
