HistorX Mod Version 1.96 & DL link

As a avid GTL club racer im always on the look out for the next GTL, and after a good few days testing with fellow club drivers im very impressed with this mod,
I feel it may be a successor to GTL for a club racing, the ffb is very good with the real feel plugin, superb sounds from the cars plenty of well made liveries and a great selection of cars to choose from.

Who is driving this mod would any be interested in using this mod for club racing, with the added bonus
of other content from Rfactor to be used once in a while for fun nights, If we get enough interest i will consider running a few test nights to see how it all comes together as a package.

I have installed GTL on the default position and not did a championship race, I will try it tomorrow! And yes I'm installing it on rfactor not GTL (lite install) ;)

The thing is steam gives a popup everytime I want to start the game, saying that I will need to fill in a key in the game. But it doens't give me the popup in the game to fill in the game, is this a problem?

Check here, but Rantam sometimes needs a moment to answer. @Yves Larose has a solution for this too, he will help you once he's on :).

In the meantime, please read this, it will spare me some work :D:

IMO it's absolutely essential for realism to set up the steering like explained in the manual.

In case you have trouble doing so, here's a controller.ini with the ffb text replaced already:

Hope you like the mod as much as we still do :thumbsup:.
 
I have posted a couple of weeks ago on the forums of historx but some guy told me to ask here :D also I'm following the manual step by step. I know what I'm doing with computers and also with the FFB. Done a lot of research (T300RS here). Just I have this error with the steam version I can't solve.
I also posted on the FB of historx, so yeah I hope it gets fixed as fast as possible.
But everyone thanks for the input, very appreciated!
 
I had rFactor ( unmodded, vanilla) lying dormant on my PC ( FFB too hard to setup, prefer GT2 if I'm running an older game) and do like to fire up GTL on occasion for some old school fun. Then I saw this Historx thread and gave it a go. Had to move my GTL install to C drive ( where Steam Client is installed) so the installer could find it, but other than that , I followed the instructions and it works great with my DFGT. Now I have GTL Extreme!
Drove a few laps in the Cortina, Austin Healy and a '73 911. Great fun. FFB is good and graphics, while still old school, are better than GTL. Happy camper now.
Thank you HistorX team!
Now I just need to start downloading tracks............
 
@Hal Burns come and join us for some club racing soon. If you sign up to race, I believe that (ATM) you'd quallify for a months free trial as a Freemium member, so it might pay you to get in quickly. :thumbsup:

Oh BTW, grats on discovering the mod. It really grows on you. The HistorX club racers all really enjoy it and many of us drive little else. :)
 
A question...adding cars to HistorX....just drop in vehicles or is the mod locked? looking for '70's Lemans prototypes...any open wheelers, no aero (1965-67)?
In the manual the mod team say this.
"It's not allowed to copy or modify anything from this mod without an explicit permission from the authors: HistorX, ISI or Simbin (depending on the content).
Improvements about this mod from the community are very welcome, but no conversion, addition or modification to the material found in this package shall be publically released without prior consent from the creator of the content."
I think this includes cars and AFAIK there aren't any.
RD has entered a team, the last two years, into an rF1 based 24 Le Mans historic event which includes HistorX races. Some of the HistorX cars are great fun to drive around that track.

Does anyone know where I can download the v1.96 mod?
You could try this http://www.racedepartment.com/threads/historx-mod-version-1-96.80620/page-5
Post 86. @Rupe Wilson (the guy who started the RD HistorX club) put it up, so it should be what you're after. Be sure to follow the Manual to the letter for good results - fresh install of rFactor etc. You need to own a copy of GT legends to get the install to work. Sometimes the installer doesn't recognise digital versions. If this happens, PM @Yves Larose and I'm sure he'll help you to sort it out.
@JeffL said that you may be joining us for club racing. Look forward to seeing you on track.
Edit: I just found this too. http://www.mediafire.com/download/2..._GT_And_Touring_Cars_v1.96_by_HistorX.torrent

This mod is one of, if not, THE best thing I've ever tried in sim racing! I've started my "career mode" buying my first car and joining races. Although it seems that I need to set AI all the way down to stay in pace with them.
I've noticed that the AI seems to be at a very different pace from mine. They are agonizingly slow at some corners but a lot faster at others. Also there is always a superman AI which is faster than me like 1.5 seconds every lap, while I'm constantly at similar pace with all the rest of the AIs.

What are your graphics settings? Triple or single monitor? Have you tried turning off shadow?
