Nah I ve tried everything I can think of. The problem seems to stem from the sensitivity automatically reducing as the speed of the car increases. In any case, ive done a few laps, and whilst the track layout is great, and the sound excellent, the track graphics arent great, the steering is hit and miss, and I get no sensation at all of grip levels. I went and turned a few laps in LFS afterwards, and the difference is night and day. What a shame!

Well in the Ford, It's about right (well if you have driven one).

But the mods can't be compared to LFS, as the mods are done by "joe Blogs" with a simple program. Mat has it and it's not hard to do.

Where as LFS is scanned with a car going around the track, and car feel is done by proper people.

The 1972 cars are more real to drive than what you think.

But as long as you can get on and do a few laps, it will be fun with a few more on the track.

Yup dead right there on the Ford Swivel, quite a close resemblance to the real deal and thankfully I've driven all 3 of them in my time all though the GT 351 replica was missing first gear which didn't make a huge difference apart from hill starts lol.

I'm pretty sure anyhow that this is not about comparing apples as that's been done to death and you'll all be on the same playing field so give it a go.....as in the thread title....its a one off....have fun ;) ;)

I kept getting an error at 75% track load with the 1972 mod (v8 mod worked fine), however you couldnt enter through it. Drivers are up to date.

Have thrown the toys out the pram and uninstalled rfactor :oops:

Did you read 2 posts above.

The gMotor 2 error, just enter past it, Or fix your graphics.

Never mind, you un-installed it.

Another Idea would be the Trucks on Bathurst 8-)
