Soooo... did anyone actually manage to unlock the dlc with racecontrol subscription?
I got the subscription, I got everything installed but still every piece of content I didn't buy before is greyed out with a prompt to buy it
I know it's totally on me to believe that a new feature in rf2 may work the first day, but still...
Also I find it ridicolous that racecontrol site straight up bugs out when you try to manage your subscription. I know the malice/incompetence rule, but still it's just a terrible look for the devs

One of Australia's largest and most diverse racing circuits sets the stage for the next round.
The Formula 3 spec series uses a 3.4L 6-cylinder NA openwheeler that produces up to 380hp as part of the ladder system aspiring drivers use to hopefully rise to the level of F1. The spec has been run since the 50's and revamped several times as the FIA tier system developed. NARS will use the S397 Tatuus F.3 T318 across multiple locations featuring 1,2 and 3 race rounds throughout the season.

Staying in France near the southern border, Rhin is a flat, fast and flowing club circuit that's loads of fun and easy to learn (but tough to master).
The Mazda MX-5 Spec Miata Cup uses the mid spec1 1800cc 1994-97 models. These cars are lightweight and incredibly agile which makes them incredibly fun to throw around corners. Each round will feature two 20 minute sprint races with a reverse grid for the second race.

Hi, I just bought the All Pack, but at the moment I have not enough disk space. Also rf2 needs twice storage because of packages in Steam folder and the install in rf2 folder. Is there an easy way to install just some of the DLC? Even with auto and background updates turned off, Steam keeps on downloading and updating.
Theres the clip of it, all ive done is got the PIR map... literally the only reason I got the game is to drive pir hahaha, but any ideas on whats going on??
I created a dedicated server to play online, which I then join but for some reason when I enter into the race my car won't move. I had a friend come and barge me (he was able to move no problem) for a bit which got me moving, but it happens in all sessions whether starting on the grid or starting from the pits for qualifying and practice.
We put some AI in and it seems some AI had a similar problem being unable to move. I don't seem to have the issue in single player.
Anyone ever experience this somewhat strange thing and find a solution?
Hello. I just got rFactor 2 and for whatever reason after installing it it keeps telling me that I have to download new things. Every time I launch it I have to download something. Is this normal? I think the game + workshop items take more than 100GB
Hola
Hasta el dia de ayer funcionaba todo bien... yo corro los enventos online... pero ahora cuando doy "join server" me muestra la opcion "Cancel - expectador - Drive" selecciono Drive... no ingreso al servidor y vuelve al al paso anterior "Cancel - expectador - Drive". Que puede estar pasando?. A los servidores publicos puedo entrar sin problemas. Gracias por la ayuda.
So this is the weirdest issue that has just appeared seemingly out of nowhere.
My throttle and brake are correctly set up, they can be seen working just fine in calibration, but when I actually go onto a track, I have no throttle at all... If I assign a different arbitrary button to my throttle, it works fine, just not the actual throttle pedal. The brake and clutch are fine though, they're working in-game.
The pedal works fine in other games - I've attempted restarting the factor 2 - I've re-assigned the pedals, recalibrated them - I honestly have no idea what's going on at this point - any ideas would be much appreciated.
The game did get any updates or new content in a while. Is the game done?

I have all Racesims with nearly all content (RRE, AMS 2, AC, ACC, IR (ok, here just a small portion of content), Le Mans Ultimate (with Season Pass) and since yesterday RFactor2 (just base game).
In my eyes Le Mans Ultimate gives me the best feeling of all aformentioned Sims. I didn't drive a racecar in real life, so I don't know which Sim is the most realistic to real Racing, but Le Mans Ultimate feels so damn good realistic to me.
Because of that, I wanted to try RFactor2 for different car types like Formula Cars. Also this game feels fantastic and I am on the brinck to buy the Ultiimate Content DLC for around 50 Euros in this steam Black Friday / Autumn Sale.
My big problem is the future of Le Mans Ultimate, the game which Studio397 is focused entirely and abandoned RFactor2. This would be fine for me and I would pay for future Content in Le Mans Ultimate, but this game is license restricted right?
This means that there will never be Formula Cars in this game, also not many tracks, if they won't be added to the WEC calendar?
So I don't know to spend 50 bucks just for Formula AI Racing in Rfactor2 on certain tracks, even if the physics and Force Feedback is excellent.
But otherwise I won't get my favorite car types with this great physics in Le Mans Ultimate, also not in the future.
Ist Studio397 thinking that Le Mans Ultimate will have success and a broader Userbase in the future with these license limitations?
What would you suggest me?
Why are these cars covered with cloth? I'm new to Rfactor 2. I just installed Anthology collection from workshop. Was that the wrong one to install? I just want all the base game content. Please help me.
Hey, I'm completely new to the game, but I've gotten really into tweaking and testing diffrent setups. Is there any easy way to make the game test them out for you? I want to see if I can gather enough data to make a ML model to determine the best setup for each track :)
If there isn't a way, does anyone know if someone has already collected it in any other way or if there is a way to access that data? If anyone has done data collection on any car I would greatly appreciate seeing it and being able to train a model on it

Hi guys hows you? I installed rfactor2 yesterday but since i couldn't set my wheel/pedals to work. I use fanatec csl dd, do I have to do something particular? When at the start of the game was asking to turn my wheel etc it wasn't working
On the wheel i am putting full lock but on the sim its not fully locked And once you start driveing and you give full lock is spazes
Hello.
After trying to convert one car from rFactor 1 (from one of the many FIA GT mods from the "when rFactor was cool for modders" era), as happens on this video, the front tires reach insane temperatures up to 2500ºC in the core. After being investigating how to correct this in the TGM (by correcting the multipliers or making the wheels bigger or smaller) and converting more cars in order to replicate the problem, I am unable to fix this issue. idk if it would be a good idea to copy the AI radius values in the tbc for the tgm to see if the problem fades away, as shown in this screenshot from today after trying to apply what I researched.
I hope to have any help, thanks in advance.
Hello,
I just got the base game and wondering whether it’s worth buying dlc’s. Are the lobby’s for intermediate and advanced daily races popular? Can you race there on daily basis?
Cheers!
Hello.
I don't know if anyone has made this question, but after trying to edit the Katsuo Fuji track in order to create proper shadows and make it more realistic, I see that track can't be recognised. I tried to use the MAS tool in order to create a package and "install" the changes with no result. Am I missing something? Thanks.
Hi guys I’m looking to buy RF2, I have hori apex racing wheel. Does anybody know if this wheel is supported and works well ? Thanks
Looking to see other people's opinions. All I know is that the Complete DLC pack does NOT include KartSim and Reiza.
