Endurance Series mod - 1st Package - v1.2 Released !

After 3 years of work, Enduracers and the Gentlemen Racers are happily releasing the 1st package of the Endurance Series mod for rFactor. It will give you the chance to simulate the best endurance racing experience ever seen in a video game.

For this important mod EnduRacers has chosen to work in packs. After the initial release including the mod base and first pack of cars, Enduracers will release frequent "Service Packs", adding new car models, sounds, physics and skins. That is why the mod can be classified as "evolutive" and will live and grow continuously after the initial v1.0 release.

Don't forget to read through the readme carefully, you will find a lot of important information in order to use the mod in the best possible way. Don't forget that the mod is very big, and that this is endurance. Don't judge it by doing 2 laps with 1 car, take your time to learn it and really appreciate it.

depechez toi Megaupload

Très grand merci enduracers de faire ça gratuitement

]Thx guys this is looking briliant. Keep up the good work.

Un grand merci à toute la team

Whoa! Great mod! Thank you guys for such a long hard work. It worth that time, you took for it!

Another question - will there be any templates for cars available?

Yes indeed...for a long time this mod (together with the already released WSC70 and the Prototype C) is on my wish list...true that Rfactor been here now for so long, that we think nothing can already surprise us..but when we see what you guys have achieved in this platform..WOW!..i mean, my only problem is not expressing with words what i feel and think about the MASTER PIECE you've released...so i'll only say..MANY THANKS to give a ray of light for the sometimes dull life i live..trully!

Do you think that you will gift us with another present (in this case "pack"), till the end of the year?! I'm sorry for asking but after trying these tastes of almost perfection, one gets totally anger for more...!

i finally tested this beauty of a mod - very impressive physics and sounds! great work enduracers! really top notch!

one small thing:
the cockpit of the 997RSR looks a bit strange, especially the rollcage and the “foam material” protecting the driver. am i doing something wrong, did i oversee some detail settings, or does the cockpit just look like this? (a linked a screenshot to clarify what i mean.)

http://ork.netrebel.de/upload/img/00240db78a436a7f82c393f79dbf3955.jpg

ps:
i am using max details for everything with DX9 settings.

Hi guys.

Great mode.

Just found few bugs on 997

1st: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1eSvhIIp5PI/SoGDMo9qSVI/AAAAAAAAA9Q/mS_1m0J6Tk0/s1600-h/Untitled-4_resize.jpg the back window is erasing the black stripes on side windows and that makes look screenshots like this

2nd: the rev limiter LEDs are changing into grey squares sometimes (got everything in graphics on full settings)

3rd: exhaust without silencer http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1eSvhIIp5PI/SoGCt6INEZI/AAAAAAAAA9I/Mc-CrPZVrHk/s1600-h/Untitled-7_resize.jpg


Then I found bug on Vettes, that rev LEDs are changing color to be all red

Keep that super work going :)) can't wait for SP1. Oh and don't worry about some dummies on RSC. Just be cool :)

Some screens of 997 - great skin work on that ;) http://perg-sr.blogspot.com/2009/08/porsche-997-gt3-rsr-lienz.html

Really great mod, thank you very much

Merci

Klo-che is that gonna effect my league? (Endurancefactory) or EF

Yes, i advice you to install it for your league, it solves lot of bugs feedbacked by different league races.

Much appreciated klo che. Thank you.

Now I can race at the Sebring 12h track by Lonely without the purple wheels; and race at Virtua LM at night without dark lines track side.

This fix only enhances the quality of this already outstanding mod.

Good job!
