Your thoughts so far guys?

My review is not complimentary, unfortunately. I know Angus put many years into the beautiful models he has produced, starting with his Hot Rods and working his way into the Drag cars we see in this mod and many others to come yet... so I was expecting the mod on release to be far better than the old Pro-Stock PC game I've had for a lot of years.. but, it's not.

I think rFactor really isn't a suitable platform for a Drag Racing format.. certainly not in offline race testing where all the AI line up and start together.

I will stop here because I feel terrible saying these things about the end result of the massive efforts of a few people over the past 3 years to get this up and running.
Dementia... isn't a Hollywood fantasy movie starring Mickey Mouse, apparently.

Hit the nail on the head oldie... rFactor really isn't a suitable platform for a Drag Racing Format... and unfortunately that is what the DragFactor Modding Team were faced with but on a positive note IsI have assured the guys that RF2 will encorporate in their gaming engine provisions for Drag Racing to be included.

Because of the challenges faced with the above, we always knew that DragFactor is a mod that has to be "manually managed" by communities that choose to run dedicated race events on their servers. A download of "How Drag Racing Works" and a "Seeding and Eliminations Spreadsheet" will be available in the http://www.dragfactor.net and http://www.teamoz.com.au forums in the next day or two.

At the moment there are about 7 x servers up hosting DragFactor so feel free to make your own mind up and give it a crack ;)

Inside Sim Racing TV are also apparently doing a piece on the mod on Friday night and http://www.dragnews.com.au featuring the DragFactor story on their home page...

Enjoy the mod guys... I know we are :D

I do think the online experience will get the most from the mod.. whether it's grudge racing or proper racing, everyone will have fun racing their mates.

Hey Sennheiserl,

We have found that using a download manager (I used Free Download Manager) accelerates the download and may help your situation. Before the D'L Manager I was only getting about 230kb a second and when I used it, the speed jumped up to 850kb. A couple of the guys with 100MB Cable were sucking it down at 2.5MB per second.

Try that Senn, hope it works for you mate!

PS: Other great news is Reaper from Hells Gate Gaming has already started Frams Autolite Dragway!!!! Stay tuned for that one...
