You will also have to make some changes if you plan on using sounds from rFactor, such as tyre squeal sounds. We would suggest you copy car specific sounds (such as engine sounds) to a new sub-directory under the sounds folder, as to avoid possible conflicts. To find out needed sound files, check the original Veh file for the vehicle copy the SFX file over to rFactor, and make appropriate changes. However, rFactor has many new and improved sound effects since F1 Challenge, during a 'quick conversion', you will only need to change the directory structure in the SFX file. Sounds can simply be taken straight from F1 Challenge, along with some other older products and used in rFactor. There 3 basic elements, sound, graphics, physics.

First thing to do is copy and paste your vehicle folder into rFactor. In creating a conversion you will need to find all the vehicle specific files from your older ISI product and have them handy. We would rather any quick conversions not be released publically as the quality will not be up to the standards of the new gMotor 2 engine. If you plan to make optimisations outlined in a 'High Quality' conversion we recommend undergoing that process, as it will save time overall. Note: Quick conversions are recommended if you wish to alter the *.GMT model files of the vehicle to match rFactor standards, or the vehicle has no plans for any upgrades, such as private use. Tools may soon be available which can automatically do most of this, regardless, this will be left here for your reference. If for whatever reason you just wish to get the vehicle ingame as fast as possible with few optimisations as possible, here is a step by step process you can follow.

For now, we will examine the 'quick converting' concept. A quick conversion, or an optimal quality conversion.Īn optimised quality conversion will, as the name implies, require numerous optimisations and will thus consume more time. The tools you require will vary on the quality of the conversion you are attempting. Converting vehicles from older ISI products to rFactor
