Il team FVRFactor ha rilasciato per rFactor e rFactor 2 il suo nuovo FVR V8 Supercars 2014 mod, progetto completamente rinnovato che ci permette di simulare l'omonimo campionato turismo australiano. Per tutti i dettagli e commenti correte a questo link del forum.

The first scratch built V8 Supercars mod to debut on rFactor2 was FVR's V8 Supercars 2012 in October 2013 it is now being superceded by the second scratch built V8 Supercars mod for the 2014 year with an update for the 2015 and 16 series to follow in the new year. Almost completely remodelled except the VF is a modified version of our old VE, rest assured the 2015 season has a new VF and new FGX waiting in the wings for the paint jobs to be finished. Now it's most definitely not finished, it may never be so, but it should give you some lively online and offline racing according to our testers. We aren't calling this a public release, it is an FVR release.

Hi! This is a ... different ... mod for Game Stockcar Extreme: 1:8 scale racing and drifting with realistic (scaled) physics! This doesn’t mean the cars themselves are exact copies of real Radio Control (RC) cars though, they have believable but imagined properties. It is a physics experiment that got out of hand. Previously the only RC mod, for rFactor, MadCowies excellent work, used 1:1 scale cars as the physics where believed not to handle vehicles so light. This made me curious and as you can see, they work just fine with real weights and dimensions.
Physics are fun! Scaling down a car 8 times, makes its length 8 times smaller. Aerodynamics apply on area which is 8x8 times smaller. Mass is a function of volume which is 8x8x8 times smaller. You end up with totally different car behavior because of this compared to full sized cars, yet they are still just small racing cars with all the bits and pieces we know and love. This also means they are fun to drive!
Thanks to Laurents Hoerr for the circuit and Patrick Giranthon for the awesome circuit and bow to Siim Annuk and David Sabre for scaling down the Toyota Supra and BRM Can-Am car respectively and then allowing me to release all the models! And thanks to Todd Wasson who, over the years, helped me out on some of the general specs and properties of these small cars.
This mod is NOT an official Reiza Studios product. It is a fun experiment that you may or may not enjoy, that’s all!

Installation
I’m assuming you know how to use Windows and extract zip files. Just extract in your main Game Stockcar Extreme folder and I assume you know where to find that. The mod is a new race ‘series’ you can find clicking the left / right arrows in the main menu to switch cars until you find the ugly and stretched image of a 1970s Can-Am racing car.

Game setup
- Try an analog gamepad
- Use a mixture of speed sensitivity (50%) and reduced axis sensitivity (25%) for starters
- Driving aids are untested
- AI probably doesn’t work so just do private testing
- Only drive in TV cam (page down is the default key). A few different zoom levels are available
- Adjust the speed sensitivity, axis sensitivity and garage ‘steering lock’ to get your personal preferred car steering sensitivity
- Don’t start with the faster cars!

Il duo Assetto Sim Team - haunetal1990, ha rilasciato per Assetto Corsa la prima versione 0.6 del suo interessante Spark-Renault SRT-01E, ovvero l'ormai ben nota monoposto elettrica Formula E.

Team AST and haunetal1990 are proud to present to you the release of the Spark-Renault SRT_01E which is the car of the official Formula E season. Please note that this release is only a 0.6 version of the mod as the physics is not accurate (not very much data available) and as this is the first mod for Assetto Corsa of our team there may be also other issues. Thanks to everybody who is involved in this project !

Il team ASR Formula ci segnala direttamente sul forum il rilascio di alcune imperdibili novità per rFactor 2: sono infatti disponibili per il sim targato ISI le nuove versioni 1.8 della Ferrari, Williams e McLaren della stagione 1991 di Formula 1, oltre alla release beta 0.5 della Benetton (con textures HD, Piquet, nuova fisica ed altro ancora).

Gli appassionati di rally duro e puro sanno bene che ancora oggi è possibile considerare il buon vecchio Richard Burns Rally come il Re della simulazione rallystica. Vi segnaliamo quindi l'uscita proprio per il titolo SCi del nuovo mod RealRally 2016, un pacchettone da ben 6GB di download contenente una vera montagna di novità e migliorie per il sim originale, a cominciare da nuove vetture e prove speciali. Tutti i dettagli a questo link.

Physics changes by Lgel
1 The revised physics while retaining the unique features of each car and offer now similar tuning ranges for every car.
2 AI speed has been balanced too.
3 Each car needs a specific setup, those of previous version 0.92 may not work as intended.
4 The default setups are meant to be drivable out of the box, they are on the safe side (mild understeer).
5 They are not optimal for braking strength and balance, gearing, cooling of motor and brakes, and may be tire pressures.
Tires reach their pressure balance after 5 to 6 laps, they don't like to be abused.
6 Cars should have similar level of performance, depending on tracks some cars may be faster than others, for leagues the recommended
mean of leveraging performance is to impose weight penalties as FIA does in real life for these cars.
7 pits time for every car are now the same

Graphical changes by Tosch
1 Rendering of every car, body, windows and rims.
2 New flare lights on every car, only one plane object for each light needed now.
3 Optimized lods on every car to improve FPS hickups and avoid ghost objects.
4 New collision 3d model, less than 100 polys, to avoid some strange collision bug.
5 Added moving mirrors (thanks redapg for the help).
6 Windshield and windshield banner problem fixed.
7 2015 spa 24h Z4 skin added.
