rFactor rulezzzzzzzzz!

Anybody know where to save the downloaded car setups?
Rgrds,

Technically you can put them anywhere you want, as you can navigate through the Windows file structure inside rFactor. However, you will make you life easier if they go here:
Program FilesrFactorUserData[player name]Settings[track name]

So guys ... how do you change the res in F1 Challenge 99-02 ? ...
There is a guy asking on the forum but I don't have the game and so I can't answer ...
Maybe one of you could help him ... in this thread ... http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=95217&highlight=#95217

Thanks ..... :D

Hi,

You need to download some cracked .exe files from chr79. This will help to get the triplehead resolutions. I'm not sure about the widescreen resolutions, though.
Thanks, chr79, if you ever happen to read this! :D

Thanks bud ...
My guess they are for TripleHead only ... and so won't help the guy in that thread ... :(

I have been messing around with kegetys SOFTTH and trying to get triple head working properly with this game and have got the game running in a widescreen resolution, but with all my trying to get the right camera view right by editing the default.cfg or individual car .veh files cannot correctly create the right picture. I have found out by comparing 4:3 running normally F1 Challenge and then running in a wide resolution it actually just chops off the top and bottom and everything is in the correct aspect.

Here we have correct 4:3 picture 1024x768(pic resized):


Here we have 3072x768(pic resized) pic, as you can see it has a correct aspect ratio but the top and bottom is chopped off.


and here is my attempt to use the position attributes with radius and fov(pic resized)


So as you can see even using the position attribute to move back the driver position still does not increase the vertical attributes. So what we need is a zoom attribute or some sort of hack like there was for stalker which actually zoomed out the picture. If anyone can help me please tell.

I tried these files and still can not get TH2G to work... can anyone post a specific step-by-step instruction?

I tried to edit my default.cfg and that never helped... outside monitors go to sleep when game loads.

Thanks

Hi,

So, if you start cracked 3DConfig program and scroll down the list of resolutions, you can't see any of these resolutions?

1920x480 16 bit
2400x600 16 bit
3072x768 16 bit
1920x480 32 bit
2400x600 32 bit
3072x768 32 bit

Do you have the TH2G Digital or Analog Edition?

That's correct, I can only get to 1680X1050 as the highest resolution.... I copied both the exe and the 3d...exe into my F1C main folder.

The game starts, too.. and runs fine, but no higher resolution than the 1680

Thanks for any help you can offer.

What happens, if you manually change the line VIDEOMODE=xx in Config.ini file?

In my case, the Surround Gaming resolutions will change this attribute like this:

1920x480 16 bit 60Hz --> VIDEOMODE=122
2400x600 16 bit 60Hz --> VIDEOMODE=123
3072x768 16 bit 75Hz --> VIDEOMODE=124
1920x480 32 bit 60Hz --> VIDEOMODE=125
2400x600 32 bit 60Hz --> VIDEOMODE=126
3072x768 32 bit 75Hz --> VIDEOMODE=127

Also, have you tried re-installing drivers for your graphics card?
