The privilege to be proud….

Well 2 years and about 5 months are gone now. We started a project during an exciting period of formula one racing. Michael Schumacher had his last chance for his 8th title. For most of us, it was a special formula one season, if you hate him, or love him, it doesn’t matter. We worked on a project together as a team, not as single persons. That’s our real secret. And now after the release, I’m really proud to be part of that team. Everybody gave his best, even if it means he has to work night and day, during illness or vacations, it doesn’t matter.  During the development some members left and some new came into the team. Lucky enough for us we got the right guys. Full of motivation, full of passion for that mod and with these new members our level increased again. So my special thank is directed to the “new guys”. But I should not forget the “old” members, which are at CTDP since we founded the team. We had hard times, and good times. This is good day for everybody in the Team.

Now here we are, after 2 years and a few month to show you, the community, what we have done during all the time you were waiting for this mod. We know it’s not perfect, but it was something special for us. We feel like a father seeing his child is leaving home to discover the world. And we all at CTDP hope, you discover all the lovely details of this mod.

So CTDP wishes you happy St Nicholas Day with CTDP F1 2006 modification for rFactor.

  19. He means adjust YOUR DRIVER’S SEAT akonen, not your REAL LIFE seat 😉

    If you don’t know how, check the control settings in game to see which keys do that. Move your seat UP in the car.

  20. As Dahie, said not time to read all the comments until tomorrow. We had some technical problems during braadcast race so sorry for that once again.

    I would also like to add it was a privilige working on this mod. With Andy Dahie Shaun pretty much in daily contact all the time working big hours, especially the last few weeks, but also all the other members I got to know later on in the development.

    Happy racing 🙂

    Hopefully you will all get the same enjoyment out of it as we did in making it.

  22. Great mod yes.But:

    I think i found the first bug dont know how you couldnt see this.

    The carsdont appear in the right garages they are mixed, the team mates are just time together in one garage. I tested this one several tracks also on CTDP Bahrain but it was always the same. I saw the car had different race classes, is this the reason?? and how to correct this?
    I didnt find anything in the manual.

  23. Thats not us (and not a bug), thats the tracks, our bahrain 05 is for 05 cars not 06, in our v2 version it will be sorted.

  25. Metalllord, I checked our files an whatever it is it, is not obvious right now, but we are not in the freshest state right this minute to give an immediate answer.

    It will be looked into I know I have seen them correctly assigned too in builds when testing out stuff, so we are not sure right now.

  28. i have 2 problems, i need to know how to reduce the exagerated movement in the view while braking, i not can see the apex of the corner in the cockpit view.

    The second one, is that when i race with all the cars, the williams cars give some windows of problems with textures when the track is loading and, later in the race, the williams cars not have textures.

    What can i do?

  50. Thank you guys for a such incredible mod!
    The best ever!

    i have 1 question:

    what about “server physics” in cars upgrades?
    maybe it’s what we need for on-line racing (Server Edition)?
