Richard Burns Rally

I often read your post, I just thought I would say to keep the good work!

Stumbled across this video, Robert Kubica playing the italian mod RBR-World last year. Apparently he was unofficial online champion last year, races online under the name 'Kopecky-FAN' and is reckoned to be unbeatable.

Imagine being able to go online and compete/be able to compare times with Kubica... For me there is something quite magical about that! :)



Kubica try RBR-World - YouTube

I remember when i played with him in Gran Turismo and CMR2 years ago he was good :) Is he playing in plugin now?

Just saw this. The Chirdonhead times are impressive. Mine was about 3:30 I think, but I never reached my potential...

My Chirdonhead PB is a 3:12.05. A lot of risk involved obviously but great fun.

I've got some onboards on my YouTube page, including one from Chirdonhead but with a time of 3:16.9

After completing my I5 build and installing a Win 7 64 bit OS Im having a problem with my RSRBR12 installation. The GpB cars load fine but car skins for other groups such as the new WRC cars dont seem to be loading. ie' The Polo WRC will load up as an Impreza etc.

Running it on Win 7 I had to change some DEP? settings in the RSRBR game files which I did... except for the 7 Zip.exe which said something like 'you cant alter 7zip 64 bit executables' . I suspect this may be the root of the problem and Im not sure how to get round it. (Its strange that the GrpB cars load fine though)

or... should I have installed the full car pack after each of the 5 RSRBR updates rather than just after the fifth update?

A recap-

I installed RBR (clean) in the correct location.
Patched with both 1.01 and 1.02 patches
Installed RSRBR to the same folder.
Updated with the 5 updates then installed the full carpack
Installed the full track pack
Changed the DEP settings other than the 7zipexe which wouldn't allow me due to it being 64bit for some reason.

The RS centre loads fine and starts the game as it should its just the skins for some of the car packs that aren't loading.

Any help would be very much apreciated.

I'm using 64-bit Windows 7 and so far RSRBR has worked more or less alright. Had a little problem with setup checking utility but few system settings changes made it work. Here is Aarons post that helped me.
I don't know if you already know this but one thing with Windows 7 is that you don't install RBR in the "program files" otherwise it might have limited access to the system and might not work correctly. I simply installed it in "c: \Richard Burns Rally". RSRBR already contains patches 1.01 and 1.02 so after clean install you don't need to install them before installing RSRBR.

Sorry that I can't be more of a help. If you still can't figure out what might be wrong maybe you should ask the guys at rallyesim if you haven't already. They might point you to the right direction.

Edit: Installation order should be: RBR; RSRBR; all the updates; track, car packs and any BTB stage pack you like.

Thanks, I spent ages re-installing all the sound files only to learn that it is something to do with the TV/Monitor I was using, (maybe HDMI ?). It would play windows sounds but no in game sounds at all. I hooked it up to my big HDTV and the ingame sounds play fine.

I then had a problem with the wheels brake and throttle paramaters in the control panel but I downloaded DXtweak and re-calibrated all the x-y paramater values and managed to fix it completely... that brilliant little program really saved the day!

I have it playing perfectly now... what a fantastic, amazing sim! I'm a little rusty, about 10-15 secs off my old pace (RSRBR08) and keep crashing... but it will come back to me with more practice. :)

My brother has just bought a seat/rig that he tells me was made by the prodrive mechs and has Solbergs actual WRC seat from his Impreza... I suspect its just a Solberg branded playseat but he seems convinced otherwise, I guess I'll find out at the weekend. ;)

Thanks again.

Glad to hear you got it sorted!
