rFactor festeggia 10 anni su rFactor 2

[VELOCIPEDE]

rFactor is ten years old. Can you believe it? Although we released thesoftware in various forms before our official release on August 31, 2005, this is our 'official' Birthday!

Happy Birthday to rFactor! Feel free to share any of your memories using #10YearsOFrFactor - we'd love to read more, whether they are from rFactor 1, 2, or even Pro.

Background:
We've been doing a number of tests with gJED over the past few weeks, and our car and track teams decided to release one of their quick experiments. We figure that if we can get some of the original content into rF2 as quick as we did (a few hours), some of those better looking rF1 mods should get some serious consideration now within the community. 

gJED is perfect for this kind of thing.

What is gJED?
gJED is the new mesh and materials property editor for gMotor2-based applications. gJED allows for real-time editing of gMotor2 content created in any content editor which can export the FBX file format. Content creators are no longer tied to a single platform (3DS Max).

gJED is a real-time DirectX application built using the same engine and shaders as rFactor2, and therefore has most of the same graphical options as rFactor2. Much of the operation of gJED is similar to that of the latest gMotor2 plugins for 3DS Max.

When can I get gJED?
Before the end of this week. (WB 8/31/15). It won't be released as 1.0, but we really need more eyes and clicks on it soon.

Car and Track Info:
The Sardian Heights and Kodi ZR are a track and car from the original rFactor racing simulation, released in 2005. We converted them to rFactor 2 using the tools we make available to modders including gJED and our SDK/Mod Mode.

Visually they will certainly have a retro look, but technically the content does support rFactor 2 technology like our advanced tire model, chassis flex, realroad (changing track surface grip) and 3D animated corner workers.

The Kodi ZR is a road car with a myriad of racing and tuning options (almost 60 tuning options) up to a full racing specification. It's huge fun to throw it around any racetrack.

Sardian Heights is a street course carved out between medium-sized buildings. Similar to Macau or Monaco it has a track width that can vary and most certainly requires a lot of care to lap cleanly in traffic...

Configuration options:
The Kodi ZR, in the true rFactor style, comes with an epic (almost 60) tuning options. There are three class packages that include a selection from three rear wings, three side skirts, three front end (aero) packages, three rear end (aero) packages, three tire options, three suspension types, two different steering options (standard and drifting), three brake disc selections, three hoods, two horn variants, four exhausts, two computer chips, four engines, three clutch options, three flywheels, four transmission options, two differentials, two fuel tank sizes and two cockpit layout variants (that can be further adjusted by removing weight from the cockpit under weight reduction).
Sardian Heights comes with two configurations: Short is 0.84 miles, Long is 1.58 miles. Both streetcourses, obviously.

Another very quick rFactor conversion, this time featuring Montreal! There have been upgrades to support realroad (changing track surface grip) and a number of other things.
The great thing about this conversion is that it was done by a complete novice as a weekend project, using gJED and other tools freely available to modders. Obviously he had to ask a lot of questions, and it has a retro look compared to recent works from our track team, but we think it speaks volumes for the tools now available to the rFactor 2 community.
