    Race Control addition to RF2 has rekindled my excitement for online racing, the style of driving RF2 delivers suits me so much better than iRacing. Attendance is looking very promising, so glad we have more simracing options now.

      @chrisrogerssimracing  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Yeah it’s great to have another option like this. I loved having rF2 on LFM but it was a struggle to find full grids away from peak time. The daytime entry numbers for this race yesterday were incredible! 180+. Really encouraging start.

    Awesome race, Chris! Your content alone has got me contemplating whether or not I should pick up rF2. I've been ACC exclusive since I started simracing December of last year.

    • @chrisrogerssimracing
      @chrisrogerssimracing  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It’s definitely worth a look, Eric. However it can be a bit of a pain to install and set up. Far less user-friendly than ACC. You have to install, then subscribe to cars/tracks in the Steam workshop, then sync the two, then install the subscribed content. It’s quite a faff! Also takes a lot of fine tuning to get the display and FFB to your liking. But it definitely is worth the effort, once you get there! Just requires a bit of time and patience (two things I’m short on!) 🤣

    • @chrisrogerssimracing
      @chrisrogerssimracing  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yeah, I thought it was a little on the ambitious side to try that move! I was right on the white line so thought I was as tight as I could be. But there was a little more tarmac the other side on the line - definitely not a car’s width though! I think rF2 gets the balance just right when it comes to contact. A few nudges and bumps here and there, without it being race-ending!

    Wow Chris - you have a completely different impression of this combo than I do. I tried it yesterday and couldn't keep the car on the track.

      Did you change the traction control settings on it? I noticed by default they were off completely, and I was sliding around everywhere. I changed it to TC1 (Dry) which was better but still a bit slippy. Ended up going full TC2 (Wet) and that felt much better!

    Awesome first look at this new online racing option Chris. Can’t wait to try it myself soon!
    I actually did a few practice laps for this combination offline, and the FFB on the M2 felt kind of floaty. Did you notice the same? Could be my settings otherwise.

    • @chrisrogerssimracing
      @chrisrogerssimracing  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Generally I find the rF2 FFB the complete opposite of floaty, it feels really firm and grounded. I did have to dial up my TC to stop the slides though. By default, the car has no TC at all. I ended up using TC2 (Wet) - even TC1 (Dry) was too slippery for my liking!

      That’s the one big problem with rF2, it can take A LOT of tinkering to get it looking and running right! As for the mirrors, there’s a virtual mirror toggle key that’s auto-bound to one of the number keys. I think it’s keyboard button 3, but it could be one of the others either side of it. That cycles between all the various mirror combos. As for overlays, the relative and radar is RaceLab.

    • @chrisrogerssimracing
      @chrisrogerssimracing  ปีที่แล้ว

      Ahh yeah, so there’s a keyboard button you can press to cycle through all the various virtual mirrors. I think it’s the 3 key by default, or one of the numbers either side. But you can go into the Controls section of Settings and bind it there. As for RaceLab, did you follow their rF2 setup guide on TH-cam? There are a few extra steps to do, like installing and activating a plug-in in the rF2 settings. Also needs to be borderless windowed mode, rather than full screen. Then sometimes I find the RaceLab overlay sits ‘underneath’ the rF2 window, so I minimise rF2, maximise RaceLab and then expand rF2 again. Hope that helps!

      @chrisrogerssimracing  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I love the FFB in rFactor 2, as it really suits the type of setup I like. I love a firm wheel, and it’s really firm in rF2. You can feel it shudder when the tyres grip and dig in, into turns. So there’s not gliding or floaty feel. It’s great.

    • @mikecroshaw5754
      @mikecroshaw5754 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      FFB in RF2 is one of the best…if you set it up properly. It’s not the easiest to set up but many people put it right at the top of the FFB charts.

    I wish I could participate in the new online system, however when I changed the beta settings my framerate went from 100-144 to 50-80, which is a bit too big of a jump for me unfortunately.

    • @chrisrogerssimracing

      Ahh that’s a real shame mate. Maybe try dialling down some of the graphics settings. I was getting a few stutters, so I lowered the shadows and track details etc

    Hopefully it will keep or even expand it's popularity across the community. The real challenge is going to be with paid tracks, don't want this to end up like raceroom where people are racing same 3 tracks over and over again 😅

    • @chrisrogerssimracing
      @chrisrogerssimracing  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah good point. If track variety does start to become a bit repetitive, it’d be good if they could release some special offer sales on certain tracks to be used in the upcoming schedules. Or something like that, just to try and encourage participation levels. Promising start though, for sure 😃

      Good question, I’m not sure. This race was 1pm EU time, so a pretty off-peak period in the US time zones. Will be interesting to see how it works at other later times.

      Yeah I do really like it. It looks great, and the physics / FFB feel really good. It can be a fiddle to install and set up. But it is worth it to get there. LFM pretty much rescued its online offering though, however this new in-game multiplayer looks really encouraging.

    I genuinely dont get it.
    EVERY time i install rf2 i ALWAYS DELETE it 30 minutes later in frustration.
    I REALLY want to play this but its got terrible user experience.
    Im still new to sim racing (-6 months) and other games just do it better.
    I (and probably others) could do with a idiots guide to the settings.
    I dont want to pay iracing tax and acc feels horrid so im very up to make this my main when it works

      Ahh that’s a shame mate. I remember it being a bit of a chore, getting subscribed to Workshop items, getting it synced and then having to get the content installed too. Certainly not as easy as it should be! Graphics and video settings also need a fair bit of tinkering. But it is worth it when you get there.
