Hi guys. Just joined today. Seen some of your rFactor F1 videos on youtube and WOW!!! I gotta get in on this. Really like F1 racing. Been racing on Forza2 and GT5 Prologue and F1 Championship Edition. Bought my PS3 just for F1 C.E.!!! I'm downloading rFactor right now. I have a few questions, hope they aren't too awful stoopid Grin
1. I read all over rFactor site as much as I could but didn't see answers to these. Will rFactor work on my Macintosh / Windows XP machine? I have a Mac that runs both Mac and Windows. It's really hot rodded 2 x 2.66Ghz dual core Intel Exon. 8 gigs of ram and 6 terabytes of hard drive space. Radeon graphics card and Nvidia graphics card.
2. I have no wheel yet. Ordered the Fanatec Turbo S wheel package with club sport pedals. My pedals are here, wheel is suppose to be here this month or early October. Can I race without it until it gets here?
3. I finally seen where to D.L. the F1 part of rFactor here. D.L. all the parts. So is that all I really need?
4. Will I be able to run the F1's in rFactor demo mode?
Sorry for so many questions, I'm just excited to see how good looking your F1 2009 rFactor is and I want to race it NOW!!! Grin Cheesy

Thanks for reading

Ooooh Noooo. Had to be a NooB PC user mistake.... BUT, I've been using your F1 mod and tried a different one. GMG, anyways. When I installed it somehow it must of overwrote some files. Because now when I go to launch your F1 2009 I get error messages like (missing files)
I really dont want to  uninstall rFactor as the other cars and tracks work in it. Only the F1's are now crashing the app.
Is there a quick fix? Yes, I'm a NooB PC user  Grin Been using Macs for years

Thanks

Hi there. Looks like MS7XWDC sorted you out. He seems to be the rFactor genius Smiley
I'm new here as well. Won't have my gaming machine ready for a couple weeks but I'll be lurking around and hanging out until then. Do you guys run a season year round or will there be some kind of break after the current championship ends? Thanks  Smiley
