EasyRBR
A huge number of high-quality mods for the rally simulator RBR are freely available on the internet.
Not long after the release of Richard Burns Rally (RBR), the Czech community provided a very stable online tournament platform on which online championships could be organized. They also provided a great tool, Wallaby, to create new rally tracks.
In recent years, the RBR community has provided over 200 new cars and many new rally special stages from all over the world.
However, installing and setting up these mods is a challenge. Not to mention finding the right mods on the internet.
And for these tasks, we are developing EasyRBR.
We want to make things easy for both beginners and veteran RBR players.
So no more endless internet searches for suitable mods, no need to move all kinds of files, and no need to modify configuration files yourself.
Our goal is for EasyRBR to perform all these tasks for you.

Hi. There is one problem in EasyRBR tool now when WorkerBee has published Fixup 4.x version with FMOD audio support. At launch time EasyRBR checks the version of Fixup plugin and complains that the Fixup plugin is at wrong version. Well, the problem is that the Fixup plugin in use is the newer version than EasyRBR expects to see. Maybe EasyRBR could give this warning only if the plugin is older than expected or gives an option to continue even when plugins are not exactly what EasyRBR was built to detect? I guess EasyRBR doesn’t have to be binary compatible with certain version of a plugin.
Another thing. Maybe EasyRBR could add support for FMOD audio banks per car model to when cars are changed via EasyRBR then rbr\AudioFMOD\AudioFMOD.ini file would be updated if necessary (Car00..07 slot definitions with audio bankName parameter value)?
Anyway. Keep up the good work with EasyRBR.
Hi mikan,
There’s no problem. Except that I haven’t had time to upload the new FixUp version yet. Normally I do that the same day, but this time I need a little more time to integrate the FMOD sound mod right away. Anyway, in the meanwhile I have uploaded the new FixUp version, FMOD integration will follow later.
And indeed, you’re right, the possibility to continue if a plugin is not up to date is a good idea and is already on my todo list.
Thanks for your feedback .
Hi. I have created an addon plugin to RBR showing details of cars (NGP physic specs) and a “real” preview image of the car with a custom livery in “Select Car” in-game menus.
https://github.com/mika-n/NGPCarMenu
Until now I had been using RBRCIT tool to install new cars, but managing custom liveries was a bit of a pain with it. I recently discovered this EasyRBR tool and it really seems to take car management to the next level. Especially ability to install and manage custom liveries is great relief. Thanks. Therefore I added EasyRBR support to NGPCarMenu plugin showing 3D model and custom livery information in the “Select Car” menu (name and authors of the model and liveries). But there is one thing missing in EasyRBR tool compared to RBRCIT tool (or I could not find it in EasyRBR). RBRCIT downloads the NGP carList.ini file which lists horsepower/FIA category/year/etc details about the car. NGPCarMenu plugin uses this file to show those car spec details. Is this file and data missing in EasyRBR or is it “hidden” somewhere? Could it be possible to add support for this NGP carList.ini file into EasyRBR tool (shows the information in car manager)? Anyway. Thanks for the great tool. EasyRBR seems to live up to its name.
Hello mikan.
Good idea, I’ll add the extra details in EasyRBR.
By the way, your CarMenu app looks awesome.
Any way of adding the 208t16 r5 back to the game??
Yeah Fabs, you put it at the top of my list 🙂
Note, only available with NGP5 physics!
Which author do you prefer? There are no less than 4 models of the 208 T16 R5. You don’t have to answer this…
Thanks for the updates to Easy RBR – I think the track installer is a great addition. Soon Easy RBR will be a one stop shop as it were where all you need is Easy RBR to play Richard Burns Rally. Thanks for adding the column with the car transmissions – little details like this make Easy RBR so good. Paul

This is how it sounds. It completely ruins the immersion. I tried to find a way to fix it, but I didn’t find anything.
So it would be better if i had the option to not install the Pacenote plugin
Understood.
Very soon there will be an update where the installation of the Pacenote plugin is no longer required. The plugin will then become optional as well as a possible future update.
Thanks for your feedback.
