Sounds for rFactor Volvomod (You can help)

[scurrient]

ok, did the webpage anyway

Only five sounds. They should all loop well.

Right Jani... I'm blaming you now if I fail the last few weeks of my degree... I just bought rFactor. Tis good, I've got the trackIR running happily with it, although I'm not properly going to play it until June the 1st! So, reckon the 300 will be ready for me to test drive by then

I try hard to get it done to that point but no promises, there is lot, I mean LOT to do to get it work with that ZR car

@scuirrent Thanks from mail, I replied to you

[MJ]

I've finaly bought r factor too, and good first impressions. Oh, and Chris, thanks for the GTR tip. I've been using the elise and finally did a good qualifying lap and won a race.

[Chris_C]

Great stuff... It's scary how accurately GTR models things, I havn't looked into rFactor yet, but I know GTR models brake disc and pad temps, and varies there usefulness accordingly. Forgot to make Nick try to drive GTR with the TrackIR when he was round earlier, doh!

[jtbo]

Heh, well GTR was actually done with older version of rFactor engine so rFactor has even more things.

However simulation of dynamics is somewhat more or less wrong depending from situation, for example rollig car results really odd behaviour, also there is this problem as this really does not simulate things just looks values from tables and interpolates them a bit.

It is pretty ok, but there is better sims, however those are not possible to mod so I need to stick with this

There is btw quite lot to adjust with rFactor, for example if you have Logitech driving force pro (DFP) wheel it may feel bit odd, ie steering is ok only for very narrow area at center, but there is tweaks to it so you can get good force feedback trought whole range of motion.

I attach here to forcefeedback section of my controller.ini file, you can edit this with notepad and this file is located in rfactorInstallDir\userdata\YourUsername\

Just remember to make copy of file before editing so you can easily copy settings back.

Copy and paste this over same lines in file and save, that should do the trick.

Also by searchig from RSC forums with 'controller.ini' you will find lot of information, but I think there is quite lot of it so takes time.
http://forum.rscnet.org/forumdisplay.php?f=798

Enginetemp, oiltemp, engine wear, clutch wear, there is quite lot of things that has certain value that will be used, for example engine has lifetime that is not precise and also revs and temp affect how long it will last, so for engines without rpm limiter this is bad news, you can over revvit and destroy it too while doing so.

But it really is lot of work to get all these parameters adjusted to realistic level so takes time

Hehe, great stuff. I still don't have a wheel, I have an analogue pad, but the wheel will come when pennies allow! definately recommend the trackir though, I thought it was a gimmic, and as such had to see if I could get one Tis a really really useful thing, lets you see entrances apexs and exits to corners just like you would normally! I havn't got it working as well in rFactor as I have in GTR, GTR was amazing out the box, but I need to sort the acceleration in rFactor!

I thought you had 5,000 words to write by the end of this week Chris???
