You don't need it Steve. Just copy the entire directory intact and name it rfactor1 instead of rFactor. Then strip out all but the mod and the Monza track.

Once you authorize the first installation of rFactor, you can add copies of it to the HDD. I typically run 2-3 on a machine so I can check the files/server before announcing a new series.

For example, in my case...
C:\Simulations\rfactor1
C:\Simulations\rfactor2
C:\Simulations\rfactor3

2 & 3 are copies of the authorized "1".

Yes, its legit.

No idea if it works in rF2. Haven't tried it, but I suspect not.

I might have to try it this week and see....I did see Gjon mention something about a "Lite" install for rF2 in the future a while back at the ISI forums.

FWIW... I've tried Jonesoft Mode Enabler (JSGME) and it is good, but the best solution I've found is 1 install per series mod. My SCES install on the laptop (purchase 1) and SCES install on the game desktop (purchase 2) only have that mod included, all the tracks removed except the current event one, all the extra cars removed except Pace Car, and all the extra files for the default mods. I also pull the RaceCast and TrackIR plugins (\rfactor\plugins\). Makes the install lighter than "Lite".

I made two backups, which are called "rFactor plain" and "rFactor stripped".

The plain version contains everything from the vanilla installation as I purchased it in november 2008.

The stripped version has all vehicles, locations and rfms cleanly removed. Once I need a new installation I just copy that one to my games drive, rename the folder and desktop link as I desire (e.g. the currently used is called "rFactor - SimHQ F1'85") and put in the content which I just need to run things and my preferred controller.ini. Of course, you still need the DVD inside the optical drive.

BTW. Security round rF2 files is tighter than a ducks arse. So much as sneezing in the vicinity of the .exe will need a reactivation.

Had a chance to do a few more laps tonight and I agree the setup is much improved. After 10 or 20 laps I my fastest was was a 132.2 running default fuel load and I feel like there's probably at least another second or better to be had with some more practice. I'm going to sign up but I'll be at my brothers for the weekend and will be on different network, chair, beer, etc. I've never done very well when racing from there but if I can make it in between family goings on, I will. As aggravating as the F1's can be, These could be quite fun if we can keep em on the road and off of each other.

With the boost set at 1, even 48 laps worth of fuel might be more than enough. I'm going to run a simulated race length sometime tomorrow if I can, so I'll let everyone know a decent fuel level.

Ran 25 laps tonight in one run and it still showed 30 something or so laps of fuel left in the tank.

Hi all,
I am really interested in joining this, and the timing looks ok, but I am afraid, that myself being inexperienced can ruin your race.
I will try practicing in the upcoming days (hopefully wont be alone on the server), but I understand that being able to do fast laps is far from being a good racer.
What is your opinion on this?
(I am not totally noob, played a lot of races online with Race07, but I am new to Rfactor.)
I completely understand if you tell me that I need more practice, I just do not have enough experience to decide, how bad it would be for you if I join . smile

Join us for our practice races. There is a practice race tonight if you are interested. I am sure you will be most welcome. This is only supposed to be a fun race so I would think that makes it an ideal race to start racing with us.


Cheers,
Stewart.
