    I love the new game specific categories. That should make things much easier to find.

    May I make a few requests?:

    Move all of the historical profiles from the different sections of the forum to these game specific folders.
    Change GTR2 to GTR, GTR2, GTL
    Change GTR Evolution, Race 07 to GTR Evolution, Race 07, Race On, STCC
    Add rFactor and Gmotor2 Games (ARCA, Turismo Carretera, Top Race, TC 2000, Superleague Formula 2009)



    I'll start posting profiles in those sections now that we have another X-Sim based simulator again :)

    Not bad the idea, but profiles should be in a game specific subfolder of them, so we could delete the main profiler config files forum we use currently.

    I am not sure if that´s the right way, but that should make it easier to find the plugins and tutorials you are looking for.

    I´ll do it when i am home later ...

    Yes, this would be helpful. Unfortunately, I don't think there are many useful profiles in the forums currently. Many of them are outdated. I will try to assembled profile packs by game in the near future. It seems that not many people are posting their profiles. I know there are more people using X-Sim than the 5 or 6 of us that are posting profiles!

    Just because Nima, Mike & I give each other a hard time about profile theories, doesn't mean we'll give you a hard time ;D so please post even if you don't think it's perfect.

    I move the old content to the new categories asap. Please use the report button in the right corner of every post - the exclamation mark - and report all the posts that should be moved into the new categories.

    That helps me a lot to find the right ones.

    Regards, René

    I would suggest combining rFactor and ARCA, Turismo Carretera, Top Race, TC 2000, Superleague Formula 2009 as they use exactly the same X-Sim plugin and profiles. It might confuse new people to see them separate.

    I could do that.

    But i think rFactor is the most popular software and should be discussed separately. Reason for the new categories is not only a better overview of profile downloads but also a place where game relevant settings can be discussed. When you say, rFcator, ARCA, TOP Race etc. are the same games with only difference in appearance we can merge the categories. (i never played them)

    Well, they are exactly the same games, but I understand your point.

    Perhaps we could do it like this:

    rFactor Based Simulations
    (rFactor, ARCA, Turismo Carretera, Top Race, TC 2000, Superleague Formula 2009)

    Subforum: X-Sim² rFactor profiles
    Subforum: X-Sim² ARCA, Turismo Carretera, Top Race, TC 2000, Superleague Formula 2009 profiles


    Does this work?



    Also, There are some more categories:

    * SBK (motorbike sim)
    * IL2
    * Falcon
    * Lockon
    * Others (I think there should be a general one for older and less used games)

    I would prefer that they be broken out into individual games at a minimum. It does not make sense to lump together rFactor and ARCA for example. Even though they use the same plugins and GMOTOR2 engine, the motion profiles for ARCA do not apply to rFactor.

    I vote for the following

    -ARCA Config & Tips
    -ARCA Motion Profiles
    -Dirt2 Config & Tips
    -Dirt2 Motion Profiles
    -rFactor Config & Tips
    -rFactor Motion Profiles

    etc... for all the games

    Even with this level of detail, the forum will still be a mess for people trying to find profiles because we will have to look through 2DOF SCN5 profiles, 3DOF SCN5 profiles, 100mm profiles, 150mm profiles, Joyrorider profiles, etc..

    It's going to be difficult enough for people to find what they are looking for. Lets not complicate it further by mixing game conversations and configuration information into the same forum section.

    I agree with nima, we should open new categories only then when there is content. Empty categories do not look well.

    I changed the forum name into:
    Game motion profiles - Config & Tips - Tutorials - FAQ - Troubleshooting

    and add a game catgory others:

    When it´s necessary in the future we can split them furthermore. Currently there is not enough content imho.
