Wasn't there some sort of drama that went on last year with VHR?

I have corrected your statement to more accurately reflect the state of affairs.

That's why I don't even try to keep up with it anymore. If you download the whole shebang, tomorrow or day after there will be another version released.

What about Stock Car Evo?
Did you guys tried that out, or just do not worth it?

I might give it another go, but with one of the previous versions the install process required the use of a custom mod manager. The whole thing just seemed odd.



In other news, VHR 2012 v1.5 is currently scheduled for April 2nd. screwy

I'm a pretty big fan of the Stockcar Sim Series. Largely a NR2003 rip off but it's pretty well done in a purist kind of way.

Haven't tried that one. I didn't even know about it, actually.

How'd they port NR2003 code into rFactor? How does that massive d/l content work? Stand alone? A mod? What's the backstory here?

Not tried the 2012 version but 2011 had the option of a stand alone or mod install (like VHR). It started as a fairly small project so they ported over the NR2003 physics and models as a base to work from. Since then almost everything been gradually updated/tweaked/replaced as time/expertise allows. The driving experience is a little less manic than VHR but it gives better fluidity with a gridfull of cars. The races just have a better flow to them that somehow feels more natural to me. The handling of cautions is also a little better and the AI are much improved. Sadly i can't comment of 'proper' multiplayer experience as there are very few servers but my instinct it that it would be pretty sweet.

Only thing i don't like (with 2011 at least) is that they have totally overhauled the UI so it makes navigating annoying until you find your way around. Also a lot of the models are still fairly basic compared to VHR's eye candy.

Overall it feels pretty different to VHR so this may or may not be a good thing depending on your perspective but i'd say it's definitely worth a look.

VHR2012 has gone through at least 3 revisions in the last two weeks and I've done a few races, the last one being v1.4. There's some issues, unknown whether it is the cars or the Daytona track. We'll be running Loudon and Phoenix this weekend on who knows what version. Hoping the speedway experience is better than the SS mayhem.
