rFactor,Confrontation,Painting

Wow, its been a week since my last post that either means I have been really busy or its been so boring lately that there isn't much to talk about...anyone care to guess? Actually things have been a bit hectic since last thursday so much in fact that I didn't realize that I hadn't made a post in a week.

So whats been going on? Well having to work on Saturday night kinda put a cramp in my weekend there is also that pesky rFactor racing sim that has been sucking up a lot of my time. I have also had some painting to work on as well as a Spycraft game to run on Sunday. The rest of the week has been a bit of a blur with lack of sleep causing all kinds of havoc.

For those of you who may be reading this that aren't into racing sim rFactor is pretty much the end all be all sim that covers just about every aspect of motor racing expect for motorcycle racing. I love this game but on my old system it wouldn't run properly so I never really got to play it like it was intended on the new system however I can run it will all the bells and whistles turned on and no hiccups or slow downs. So being the sim type person I am I have been running in that "sort of" career mode where you start out with little expierience and work your way up through the lower series to the top tier series. I have been running in the open wheel rTrainer Advanced and just started my second series in the division hopefully I can score some descent points and be able to afford to break into the next series up. That brings me to a problem I have with rFactor. All of the different series are treated as separate entities so experience and money do not carry over from one to the next something that I think would be awesome. So with that said I have been working on a career rFm file that will unify all of the series under one entity so that money and experience can carry over. I hope to cover all forms of racing and allowing for entry level series to feed into all other series. At this point I have integrated all of the series that come with rFactor I just need to test the setup to make sure that everything works then I hope to post it to this site so that others may use it if they like. If anyone has any question about this mini-mod for rFactor please leave a comment.

The whole rFactor thing has been sucking up a lot of my time lately so I haven't had much time to play and Guild Wars or Tabula Rasa I have played a bit of Supreme Commander which I picked up recently that game is impressive and very difficult. In a more real work setting I have been working on some Confrontation lists and hope to get a game in next week. Hopefully this goes well as I need to get onto painting up my figures for the Gencon tournament.

On a side not I did get to see a the last half of the Indy Car race in St.Petersburg on Sunday and I have to say I am impressed the former ChampCar team have pulled through should make for an excellent 500 this year as well as a good series.

Well thats it hopefully I can think clear enough to post another entry in less than a weeks time. I also have more images I need to put into the gallery.
