F1 Seven

[AdrianD]

Having abandoned F1C before GTR came along I never thought I'd be saying this but...

This mod is fantastic, the most fun outside of GTL you'll ever have, well 'till they do this in a better sim oneday

I had to put up the resolution and FF but it is as addictive as the Simbin stuff and it's got the 'Ring of course, just been sitting in for Hunt at Hesketh

Had this mod installed too thought it was good but much harder than GTR just a shame no one played the non RH- CTDP mods online
have you played the 88 mod? I got right into that 1 too was fun racing the Turbos

You'd think the cars at least would make good plundering for rF!

That's a bit harsh 

I still get a bit of fun running GPL65  and 69 but I think F1 Seven stands up better now,  switching between Simbin and GPL was too much of a technology shock, GPL FF and sound seem plain cr*p these days

But F1 Seven will fill a gap fine untill they do something like that for this thingy engine we all run these days

I don't see why, I'm not knocking thier efforts, haven't played. I only installed F1C once and it was a nasty multi year version that took me about 2 hours to get the Le Mans mod working (serves me right for P2P'ing it, but it was before my SimRacing time).

rF, while having 2 very good cars (Porsche and F3 (about to be updated btw)) is still lacking breadth in that area. These full mods take a stupid amount of work to do, and just like there's been a "plundering" of tracks, the "plundering" of high quality car models, providing they are ported correctly would significantly decrease time to release and be very very welcome. The GTR V8 ports, which seemed to have been done with care seemed very professional for the glance I took, even standing upto SimBin's creations very well.

I'm sorry if my comment seemed to rob them of credit they deserve, that was not my intention, I've looked at the screenies and other stuff and I'm pretty impressed.

I played the demo of Rf and thought it was pretty poor tbh isn't it just a highly modded version of F1c repackaged? and £30 i couldn't believe it! back on topic the C.R.E.W team did do a fantastic job the car models are spot on and even the way they modified the menus, one of the best mods eva!

There is no demo, that's a MP test, that is very very old.

Still didnt think it was much cop tho. Maybe they should release a updated version for trial, but going on that I wouldnt part with £30 for it.

Technically speaking F1C is more like a highly modded rFactor, rF coming from ISI who produce the gMotor engine which all these games use (F1C/GTR use the older engine, which dates back to good old SCGT, GTL and rF use gMotor 2 which is a huge improvement).

Once the mod teams who've produced good stuff for F1C move to rFactor you will want to get it!

I had my F1C knocking about from shelf to draw and back for months, like most F1 sims I have ever had I just had it for comparisons to GPL but rarely drove it.

Then recently I thought I'd install it again and try updating it so RH2004 went on. I'm not into F1 in RL but I was impressed with the quality and feel of this mod so I tried F1 Seven expecting to be disappointed but I'm blown away, it is unfinished and the interface menues are a nightmare, half the seasons tracks I can't install, it took me ages to work out a FF setting that felt right, nice and bumpy. On paper I'd have to say it was just another mod but...I have been hooked, it's pulled me off my GTL and taken me back to that GPL feel, I think it's worth all the effort just to drive the 'ring again and really enjoy it, no time to get bored you're round it so quick in the Hesketh.

I don't even care if I can't race online...unless some of you decide to try it one night this mod is good, to know it is to love it but you have to really give it a chance.

I agree Dave, when a well rounded game based in say '74/'76ish is made for a more advanced engine you will want it, but in the mean time this will definately be my most driven offline sim
