Allan268 Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcG Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share 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!

Andymek Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share 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...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan268 Posted October 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Thats a wheel of champions Andy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scrapman53 Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share 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.

Guest Scrapman53 Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
