Well I guess you're allowed to post other screenshots here as well as Flight Sim so I thought I would share with you some of my rFactor F1 shots.

Great shots Sam! I'm becoming a bit of an rFactor nut myself in the last few months...

Not really got the hang of getting the most out of the mods though yet.

rFactor's a bit like the driving equivalent of FS - the basic stock software doesn't come with much but there's a large community that produces freeware "mods" for a whole variety of racing types / seasons / cars / tracks - I'll let Sam expand more on that since I've only had the sim since Jan.

I've got a basic Logitech wheel and pedals which I'm quite pleased with - rFactor itself has a very good physics engine and is very often the basis for the full sims that F1 teams use for driver training and car development.

Tom's right! rFactor is used by alot of real F1 teams including Red Bull and a few others. The game, if you haven't picked up already is rFactor :P and like Tom said, from the base up it's pretty rubbish however it can be modded quite heavily (and easily!) to look quite decent like you see in my screenshots, that's addon tracks, cars, and sky textures.

If you want any more information just let me know and I'll be happy to kit you out with some good stuff to get you on your way.

I think Codemasters 2010 is something to look forward to, and they insist they've given the physics with some detail with ex-F1 & Brawn test driver 09' Anthony Davidson giving a helping hand. We'll see how it goes :)

I've just downloaded the demo and that sucked quite badly in my opinion. All though the screenshots here look really good.

It's very much like FS9 and FSX by default until you start modding it.
