    I think we should have a thread with an overview of all available vmods, including their modID and download links. It's kind of pointless to have every server admin create their own vmod with basically the same content and people not able to join their servers because they can't find the required vmod to install. This way server admins should have less work (by using a vmod already released instead of creating their own one) and potentially more users on their servers (as users have just one place to look for the required vmod).

    I would like to invite everybody who created a vmod to post a link to their work in this thread. If it helps I would be willing to keep this entry post up to date with a list of available vmods linked to in this thread so people don't have to search every post for a specific vmod.

    No issue with you guys putting together a thread with all the mods listed. Make sure you post any negatives on the current system into the rfmod petition thread if you didn't already, as it's useful to have it in the same place.

    Suggestion; Get rid of VMOD's all together

    Make tracks and cars usable straight off the bat. Leave the rFMODID to the mods authors.

    At the end there's going to be 10,000 more VMOD's then mods themselves!

    Who's going to troll through a list of VMOD's to use a track and car combination you already have on your PC???

    Over half of these VMOD's will be out off date by the time their found on a register list. Once the league has run their series and have moved on to a new one making it necessary to make a new VMOD you'll end up with ones that don't work and ones that you can't find the server it matches.

    I'll give it 12 months after gold release it'll be in such a mess you want know if your coming or going.

    rFCentral will keep the mods (Tracks and cars) BUT be sure they want wont to know about VMOD's!

    Yeah yeah I know your only talking the few that are out there now ATM but wake up and look at were this is going over a longer period of time.

    ooops! Didn't read this till after the above post. Oh well I've posted a similar thing to this in there as well.

    There's nothing like repeating yourself. Maybe it'll get heard by more people.

    Sorry,

    Hi.
    Why are filesizes so large? A true Vmod for meganes using all tracks would result in a rarfile of about 1 meg. Thats if you include new series icons. Would be a few kb's without custom icons.

    Hi Guys,

    I made a vMod for the friends I race with. It was intended just for us but you guys are welcome to use it if it helps. It just allows you to use any ISI car on any of the ISI tracks (including all layouts) + the Mid-Ohio v190 Track.

    It's running on the Aus_Perth server.

    DOWNLOAD: race.thelawrencetribe.com_v0.4.rfmod.zip

    This vMod contains:

    All Standard ISI Content (All Cars and Track Layouts)

    Plus
    Mid-Ohio (VLM-v190-MidOhio_rFactor2)

    Source

    this is because the Vmod for megane also includes all the tracks out so far, and there are more new cars customized, so this includes physically Vmod tracks and cars, and for this reason much bigger than a Vmod.
    In fact if you look at the Vmod gt, and only 6 megabytes, because is based on material already installed on your rfactor 2.

    I dont like the way this is going to. whe have to looking after every vmod to play in servers. imagine the mess that will be when beta is over.
    would be easier to add filters only to servers so that they can choose that series or tracks included in the server. that would be not too bad. the content is already there why add some. dont get it. maybe Im wrong.

    Ive created a All Tracks & Cars vmod i used to use 1 that was on here but dont believe was ever updated nor can find it even with the search, the only car i havent included is the rTrainer as i dont have it installed and every other car in the game is faster than it.

    All cars are ISI currently released and Tracks are ISI plus custom 1s that are released here.

    watkins Glen 0.2 http://isiforums.net/f/showthread.php/3734-Watkins-Glen-0-2

    My Vmod is around 25mb the reason for this is on my 1st version i didnt realise that Mills loop A was not showing up in track selection so i had to include the Mills Metropark tracks in the mod for it to show up, all other tracks are just referenced meaning you will have to all ready have the tracks above installed.

    I think this would suit anyone that wants to run any custom car track variation they like on there server, if ppl like it and becomes popular ill create a specific thread for it this is my 1st ever mod on any game really so would appreciate some feedback if anyone tries it.

    It doesnt have a custom icon atm i will be installing photoshop so can sort that out for next version when i upddate it, but it does have a default icon.

    You can grab it here https://rapidshare.com/files/2696914724/Steves_All_Cars___Tracks_v1_1.rfmod

    ~IsR~ informs the two that are available mod.
    Updated with all existing circuits for rfactor2.
    Do not need to install the tracks constructed externally to ISI, as they are including the inside of the mod.
    only for the megane, Is it necessary to install searspoint to version 1.3.

    You are on the money, most I speak to have the similar views 1000's and 1000's of usless files all for what so the people do not get a mismatch joining a public server. Whithout the Public Servers rfactor 1 would have not gone as far as it did

    Why would they need to host vmods? The host can do that, and give it to you under 1mb right before you join! Sites should be hosting components (rfcp) files, individual cars and tracks. No?

    Hi

    I try to understand.
    Why want centralized the vmods?
    Is it not this file it downloads in arriving on the server to be able to join him?
    If that is the case then, centralized is no, charge apart an inutillement server...Non?
    Tell me if I am wrong:)

    Then if a download must be, or should be done this download?The vmods told us only if it has the ingrédiens.Then if it does not find and since the server it has, should the download server or http or FTP link directement but hide.

    Possible ?

    Or so if I understand your approach on this system, it is just for not cheated ?
    The principle is to stay as rF1: installing what you want but for online is different.

    Please, learn some English like the rest of Europe. If you can't explain what your point is, posting is useless. Unfortunately, Google translate is fine for separate words (mostly) but still sucks grammar wise. Maybe you can ask someone in your direct surrounding to post your problem. This is merely confusing imho.
