Discuss rFactor2

There is a new demo and official McLaren/rF2 Competition.

https://forum.studio-397.com/index.php?threads/mclaren-shadow-rfactor-2-qualifier.61206/

 

rF2 gets the Nordschleife, laserscanned, as it is in 2018 - they are the first to use brandnew track data showing the track as it is now, in 2018.

Well - must I continue...?

 

Out of the 400 people a day that play rf2, I wonder how many will delete the Kunos rip and pay for the new one....

New shaders are coming also, maybe rf2 will become the Pheonix of racing sims. Will be interesting to watch and see, for sure.

 

I've already uninstalled it. I have 2 more options drive on nords: AC and R3E. I can live without a third option for 6 months.

 

And they say that it is the Germans not having humour...

Got it now...?

Here is another smiley to help:

 

If you argue about it, people will see it as proof, that you don't have any. We can't win regarding that.

Anyway, good news.

I would really dig a proper VLN/24h sim, but I wonder if faster classes don't get stuck behind slower ones, maybe not single ones, but a bunch of them or for example if a a mid fast car overtakes a slow one and a fast one is behind them, or two slower classes fighting and a faster one wants to overtake. Especially considering NS being rather narrow. Anyone got experience with AI races with more than two classes?

I think ACC is no option as long as Im not willing to upgrade my PC anyway.

 

I've run some multi-class races in rF2 and while I haven't monitored for AI-related issues specifically, I didn't notice any obvious problems related to differences in class performance (fast cars stacking up behind slow cars).

 

It is now possible to run rF2 with the Oculus Rift without using SteamVR. For that you have to download the 64bit openvr_api.dll from this page https://gitlab.com/znixian/OpenOVR and put it in the Bin64 folder of the rF2 installation. It improves performace for the Rift.
Another trick which worked for me to get rid of stuttering is the following: Open the Oculus debug tool and select "force 45fps, ASW enabled". Now start the game and load a track. When on the track press alt-tab to highlight the Oculus debug tool. So rF2 is now out of focus. Interestingly, this has solved the stuttering problem for me, because ASW is now working as it should.

 

New Roadmap
Yay! The per-car soft-lock (and bump-stops) now work properly in rFactor2 with the OSW wheels (with Specific Tuned Preset). Note: This does need to be enabled in the specific controller-json.

I've tested it and can confirm that it works. I posted some tips for setup Here. (#2539)

I'd much rather see GTE cars released, but the GT3 car selection they have coming out is outstanding.

That being said, the quality of their content is what keeps me out of the sim more often than not. I hope these cars all drive well and provide good feedback, unlike some of the other content.

 

Any tips for VR?

Seems like PP has to be set to "Low" atleast to get better colours. That's clear but what is the best way to sharpen the image? Super-Sampling doesn't give much benefits and Anti-Aliasing seems to be less important than it is with AC for example. Does ReShade work with rF2 VR?

What are the best options to save performance? I know shadows but anything else?

 

How many tracks there are on the vanilla game?
And how many with dlc?

Thanks.

 

Cca 25 tracks if not counting ovals and kart tracks.
Only 1 dlc track (Sebring).

 

But there are probably another 100 on Steam that are FREE along with another hundred cars also! All just one click of a button to install

 

Yes i know

 

Modding must be much more difficult in RF2 than in AC, because I have found most mod cars to be borderline undriveable and with poor graphics/animations/etc.. and a lot of tracks very poor as well both for graphics and feeling. To the point that I do not even bother with them, I have uninstall all mod content form my game.
