rFactor Modding Documentation
This is basically a backup of the old and, unfortunately, incomplete official ISI rFactor modding tutorial. Only minor modifications or corrections of the original contents were made for a better reading. Comments from the original author remained in the text, additional notes were put into formatted note boxes. The below introduction was part of the original tutorial.
