rFactor 2 General Info & Rules

See if you can spot your car
(no one chose the Jaguar E type for this series LOL!)

 

Maybe a new entry can take the Jaguar, because everyone has to keep the car they started with

 

COBRA ENGINE PATCH V1.04 - READ BELOW
Please install the patch. I will be installing this patch on the server today.

It's important that you post your comments about the patch here, because it's only for the Cobra. If that goes well, then the other cars will also be updated.

1. download the patch
2. copy/paste it in rF2/packages
3. install (the Cobra V1.04 patch)

Please read the comments from the mod developer SSSimon and install the patch for the Cobra and let us know how it goes so SSSimon can also work on the other cars.

SSSimon:
Hi guys Firstly I wanted to let you know that I've been loving watching the SRO GT Revival Championship on the live feed. The first two races were awesome to watch and seeing everyone battling and enjoying the cars has been quite humbling. I was excited to get up this morning to watch the replay of Linas Montlhery but was pretty devastated to see the carnage that eventuated. As you can imagine, I've put in countless hours trying to get GT Revival up there with the best mods available for RF2. One of the comments I took note of here on SRO a few weeks ago was the fact that the engines were indestructable and I agreed that they needed to be made a bit more fragile, particulalry as I could see in the past live streams that some drivers were exploiting the engine and slamming down the gears to improve braking. I have to admit, there's still a lot more for me to learn when it comes to modding so when I changed the engine rev limiter and damage, I was really just copying how other modders had done it and the fact that the engine blew as soon as it hit 9000 rpm seemed reasonable to me. I'm pretty sure my real car would be toast if I did that? In testing, I blew the motor a couple times when I was on the grass trying to get back on track but once I knew to be careful, it was no longer an issue and I've driven hours without blowing it.

I had you guys in mind when I rolled out v1.03 so I released it last weekend to give you plenty of time to test the cars before yesterdays race. I assumed that you all practice and would have adapted to the new engine wear or reported any issues if you weren't happy with it. I've been keeping an eye on the forum and other than problems with HUDs not reading correctly, all seemed ok. Clearly that wasn't the case and a lot of you had your races "blown" and all the time invested in the race was wasted. Please accept my sincere apologise. I know what it's like to invest a lot of time in a race, only for it to go down the drain because of something like this. I've tried to do my best to improve the mod but also not affect the outcome of your championship but even with the countless hours of testing I've done, I've unfortunately failed.

I knocked off work early today to see if I could figure out a way to make the engine more forgiving. Here's a link below to the Cobra with an updated engine. This is an update to v1.03 so just save it to your "packages" folder and install it in game. There is now a physical limiter set at 9400rpm. The engine will blow after about 4 seconds floored. This will allow for a few slip ups of the throttle without it blowing. If the general concensus is that it's good, I'll update the other cars and roll it out on Steam. Please don't turn discussion into a shit show though. I'm doing my best to please all subscribers but sometimes things that some people want, others don't want but I will take all feedback on board.

SSS Garage.

The comments are for SSSimon, the mod developer of course. He will read all your comments here.

 

Okay, I misunderstood. Good initiative

 

SSS_Garage Do you have a custom logo for your work? If so post it to me so I can add it to the broadcast bannors!

 

If not I can just throw something together like this
