    Does anyone here have Race07? I do most of my racing there but I recently uninstalled it all and then installed it and now the add ons I have don't show up. Anyone know a fix or have experienced this before if they have it?

    If you have it on steam it should download your addons when downloading race07 if not they should be in your game library then download 1 of them at a time.
    A lot of the sim community don't really use race07 anymore mainly rf1 rf2 gtr2 game stock car and assetto corsa when the multiplayer and all the bugs have been sorted.
    Most sim used I would say rf1 that has a lot of addon mods like f1 gp2 etc.enduracers is the mod almost everybody uses because it has gt cars lmpc gt2 gt1 p1 and p2

    The endurance racing they are trying to get sim racers interested in here at sro uses the enduracers mod because it allows for up to 24hour races

    Oh right, Perhaps its just a bug with steam. Last night I uninstalled all of the packs and then re installed them. Need to test it yet.
    I have GTR2 which is why I joined here but it looks really dated, worse than Race07.

    Edit: I've got it working again. I'll see you on track for a bit GTR2 but I won't be on much after the race probably due to other commitments.

    Both games are dated a bit GTR2 is I think a better game race07 is a touring car based game as GTR2 is as the title GT cars.
    With rf1 there is a lot of addons that is the game I prefer rf2 is getting better with some of the bugs being ironed out but will get a lot of interest when the enduracers modding team launch endurance for rf2 all there mods are first class the release for rf2 is being put in to the game by isi themselves and then will release it as a new build.

    I watched a video of some of the mods for rfactor and it looks amazing although im not sure if my system can run it although I don't really want to buy rfactor knowing that they are making another game that will overshadow it.

    rf2 has been out for about 3 years but rf1 is still used a lot if you invest in the game you will get your reward great game like I said before with lots of mods for it.
    rf will run on a low speck pc let me know your speck and I will tell you if it will run or download the demo I think it gives you 45 mimutes then let me know what you think.
    ps with demo you can't put mods in it but you will get the idea of the game.

    I have all the games but rf1 is the one I use.

    Ok, It might be something I look into getting. I've run the demo before on my laptop but I seem to remember my rather old wheel not working with FFB. That was another issue I forgot to mention.

    I agree with the admin (dont know exactly who is it? maybe Nigel?). I have rf2 too but it caused many probs with older machines. Poor framerates and you have to reduce the  graphic options very much. I would say rf1 is still the better game. Another great game can be Assetto Corsa in the future imo.

    Cheers Rolf

    Hi Rolf,
    I've always been on console really until about 2 years ago until I purchased Race07 and GTR2. Have never gone further than those games yet. GSCE could be a possible venture aswell although its a little limiting I think.

    I understand you and i have Race 07 resp. GTR2 as well. The games are pretty cool but currently the best is rf1 imo. I have played so many games started 1998 with Nascar 2, then Nascar 3, Nascar 99, Nascar 4, Nascar 2002, Nascar Racing 2003 and GPL. All developed by Papyrus. Then GTR, GTR2, GTR EVO, GTL, all RACE 07 with all addons. A lots of F1 games, ARCA (its a Nascargame) and now rf1, rf2 and AC. So i hope i have all :-]

    Cheers Rolf

    Like Rolf said rf1 is the game almost everone races plus some awesome mods for it and it will run on a low speck pc if you have more than 4 gb ram install the 4 gb patch

    Check video on our youtube account that is the WES mod for rf1 great mod there is also Blancpain mod to name a few.
    Gtr2 i like but not many racing it anymore if you look at other sim racing sites you will see they have a very poor signup for gtr2 races but rf1 is always full with drivers on the waiting list.

    Sadly I think GTR2 has had it's day RF1 is just as old as GTR2 but has a big following the reason because of the mods available for it.
    It is going to be years before RF1 passes away we all thought RF2 would take over but after 3 or so years it still has lots of problems.

    Shame because it is a good sim also.

    Yeah i have installed the 4 GB patch and added the +fullproc +highprio in the properties of the startbutton. That means now i have between 200 and over 300 fps in rf1. Fantastic!!!

    I'm certainly going to get it soon, no doubt about it. Will be good to get a full season on Rfactor in the summer maybe. I'm sure planning will be done for that at a later date though. If we get members that stick around then the date of that season could quite possibly come sooner.

    When members start to register if they like what events you put on they usually stay.
    I want members to have there input and suggest what they like racing it will not be possible to make everyone happy all the time.
    I do want to encourage members to have there say and send there suggestions to the moderators.
    we will not be able to use every suggestion but i want them to feel it is there site as much as mine.
