What times are people getting? I can't control the damn car. Crash on every lap. I ended up having to crawl round 
Well, with one other mate, we had a dabble at the short circuit. We upgraded the shocks, no assists at all (no breaking zones etc either) and using an xbox 1 pad (manual gears) on my third lap i managed a 1.42.103, he got into 1.41's on a wheel suggesting 1.40 would be possible with a few more laps.Might give you an idea of what is possible anyway and i'm sure the above times can be beaten.

We should have a get together online one night maybe?
I've been around 1:52 for the short track, but that was focussing on going sideways wherever possible rather than going quickly. Might have to try a tidy lap or 3 sometime and see what times I get.
ETA: 1:45 now including crashing into the tyres at the chicane. still plenty of room for improvement on that.

If you are using autoclutch to get the downshift blip you get in the M3 Challenge game you need to change a line in your PLR fileBMW's for rfactor (for the lazy people)

Auto Blip="1"
Plus the sound is messed up on the installation above, the engine sound isn't balanced out of both speakers, you get it all out of the right speaker. To fix it edit the BMW_M3_eng.ini so the Engine sound line reads :-
EngineSound=(0.400, 0.800, -1.25)
Changing the engine.ini file might cause online miss-matches so if you do that you might as well fix the ride height as well to stop the wheels coming through the bodywork.
Change the graphical offset line in the HDC (or HDV file if it's been renamed) so that it reads 0.18 in the middle (which is the height figure) as below. It's current setting is too low.
GraphicalOffset=(0.0, 0.172, 0.0) // does not affect physics!

Alternatively if you have RaceX installed.- v0.99 - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XIE0W7UP
V1 out Soon.
You can have the M3's as a series add on - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HZ1BTP5T
Ps. These M3's are the finished article, ride heights, all sounds fixed and inlcuded, upgrades working for different wheels, FFB, and other things.

How do you disable "on exit confirmation yes or no" screen when you exit the track or something on this mod
It's part of the UI for that mod, it will disappear next time you choose another mod and restart the game.Alternatively if you are happy to edit files, edit this line in the BMW_M3.rfm file in the RFM folder.
OptionsDir=UIDATA\BMW_M3_UiData\
add // in front of it so it looks like this
//OptionsDir=UIDATA\BMW_M3_UiData\
// means ignore.

Hmmm, what is this RaceX
Race converted to rFactor. Although if you know how to create an RFM (simple really) then just download the RaceX M3 Challenge, create a new RFM for it and copy accross all the sounds from the sounds folder on the free game version. (All the sounds in the BMW folder and the base sounds folder).OK, got it. Looks quite nice...
Shame that to get a good conversion you need this other mod though. Surely it's just as easy to make it standalone ala C6 Vette?
Hope someone makes a decent mod from it, with more accurate tyre models, suspension, options etc, it's a lovely 'free' model from BMW in essence
Lets hope they do the same in future

Ahhhh, more tyre models, the Pilot Sports (more OEM I guess than the BF Goodrich) make it drive alot nicer
Just need softer suspension, I think I'll do that in the old Carfactory then, using ride rates around the E46 M3's...
Nice... had a race with the C6 Corvette's and it seemed pretty even.
