Historic GT & Touring Car 1.9 Released

[Ivo Simons]

Team HistorX has released their Historic GT & Touring Car 1.9 mod for rFactor, introducing the successor to one of the most popular rFactor mods of all time.
Released back in 2008, the first version of Historic GT & Touring Car is still a favorite in the community due to the endless amount of care & details that is packed into this mod.
The team has improved the first version with new physics, sounds, liveries and most importantly, plenty of all-new scratch-made cars for even more historic racing fun.

• Approximately 750 liveries.
• New physics for all cars. The 65s cars have been completely redone. 76s and LM72 have been improved but are similar to what you found in v1.
• Improved Force Feedback (powered by RealFeel plugin).
• Realistic shifting behavior (powered by Grinding Tranny mod).
• New sounds for many of the cars.
• A lot of new cars: including a lot of models not included in GTL and hundreds of new liveries.
• New and more flexible classes system.
• Race standings support racing categories (classes) now.
• Improved user interface.
• Now ALT+TAB can be used to switch between the game and Windows Desktop.
• And more!

Along with the download links to the mod, you can find the mod’s 48-page manual below. It’s very much recommended to consult the manual as it’s packed with controller settings and other helpful stuff that is needed to make most of this stunning mod.
Important:Since the mod uses content from Simbin’s GT Legends as base, a legal copy of GT Legends is required for the installation!

Can't wait to try it ! I'll wait a little bit though (lol), the mirror we have now is too slow.

I played around with this for quite a while today, it is quite good. I found a couple minor bugs with detail settings, but other than that it seems very polished. Now they just need to get permission to convert that awesome Cougar mod from GTL.

what a great mod, simply fantastic in every way!
I think there is a bug in one of the mercedes when the wheel starts to shake as you jump into a car...

 

[Samuli Leinonen]

Luv it.

 

[Ryan Callan]

Car list is ridiculously expansive.

A great achievement, especially the modelling and the sounds. Oh my god, the sounds.

 

[Ivo Simons]

Still need to find a proper download link. Dont want to wait 18 days.
Edit: Found the torrent link.

 

[Ivo Simons]

Just for the menu alone you should install it.
Think we are gonna see this alot in rFactor 2. Very different menu's for different mods.
So every mod feels like a new game.

I think you can uninstall it from the programs menu in windows control panel...

 

[William Levesque]

Fantastic mod, really, I'm truly blown away... Some people complain about the lack of grip though, am I the only one who think this is not the case ?

 

[Dave Oliver]

Sounds like your pc is crap Ingemar. I haven't heard of any sound issues, after installing it, i know i didnt.

 

[Roger Bertran]

So we'd better install it on a new rfactor folder, right? I've read some problems after the installation, it seems to replace some kind of file that produces problems when switching to other mod..

Some of the cars it is quite difficult to get the tires up to temp, that is probably the reason for that. These are supposed to be replica vintage tires anyway, so fighting for grip is part of the challenge I would say I am having a lot of fun with this mod, it has my vote for 2012 Mod of the Year already.

I would definitely recommend it. It replaces some sounds, UI files, RealFeel ini, and needs a modified plr file.

all other mods and games work perfect but this mod ***** up my Rfactor game complety so i uninstalled it all and wait for the Rfactor2 ...

 

[Ross McGregor]

I've downloaded part 1 but really struggling to get part 2 due to slow download speeds. Anyone got a decent link that isn't a torrent?!

 

[Dave Oliver]

Though some have had weird problems with their FFB and couple other minor things, for me everything is close to perfection.

One of the Best slip angles made for rF!
FFB feeling is great!
Car inertia is wonderful!
Sounds...sorry I just jizzed in my pants!
Graphics!

Thank you very much!

Have to admit I haven't even tried to change the setups yet, hopefully we don't see tires dropping through tarmac like in previous version.
