Casual Multi-Class Racing

Hey all! I have a small group of friends (4 of us) that race together regularly and we really enjoy multi-class racing. This is rather difficult with only 4 people so we were wondering if there was any interest in the community for a super causal multi-class racing "almost" league. We tend to race Tuesday evenings and we are all in North America. LMK if this sounds like something you would enjoy!

New gen Formula E cars coming to refactor???

I’ve heard that nothing new is coming to rfactor which kinda sucks but does anybody know if the new gen 4 Formula E cars will come to rfactor. Or should I give up on believing anything new will come to the game?

rFactor menus low FPS in VR (races are fine)

I've been running rFactor2 in VR for ages using a Varjo Aero, however recently, seemingly without any input from me, the menus are running really low FPS in the menus only. Once I load into a track the FPS jumps from around 20fps to 90fps.

If I hop out and load task manager CPU is around 25% utilised and graphics card at that point is not being overly utilised. SteamVR graph shows really low utilisation too. So it's like something is interfering.

The only things to update are SteamVR and Steam which do so automatically so could be one of those has introduced something.

Anyone had this and found a solution?

From Russia with petrol! Kazan Ring tests driver skills with varying landscape and technical challenges mixed in.

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.

Skins help

I downloaded F1 skins for the Formula Pro car on rfactor. They’re great but now I want to dabble in making my own skins or editing current ones. I looked up all the information and it says to look for the DDS files of the skins. However when I look mine up, it has all 20 liveries for f1 under one file and it’s a rfcmp file. How do I look at the individual liveries as dds files and edit them?

Menu navigation in vr

Do I have to either hunt for my mouse whilst wearing the headset/take the headset off to navigate the menus whilst in vr or is there some easier way to do it?I'm using virtual desktop and Ive found in other games that I can just switch to desktop and use the motion controllers to select something.in r factor 2 this doesn't work.i really want to enjoy playing this game but having to take the headset off and getting out of my racing rig to use the mouse evertime I want to start a race is very annoying.

Question about F1 Mod Cars

So I’m a little new to rfactor so this post is genuinely a question, even though it might seem like I’m kind of bashing these mods. Getting on rfactor was so exciting because everyone talked about how great the ffb is on rfactor and it seems to win every review I’ve read about which sim is the most realistic driving experience. I do plan to actually test this myself but I’m focusing on rfactor until the end of this year before I check out the other popular sims. So as I got into this sim the first thing I wanted to do was try out all these great f1 mods I’ve read about. I found 3 of the highest rated and tried them all. Now, at the same time I bought and downloaded the formula pro car made by studio 397. I had no desire to really use this car but wanted to compare it to the mods. After driving all the mods and then the car made by studio 397 I am extremely confused why anyone is downloading these mods and rating them to be anything of value. The ffb on these mods is horrendous. You can’t feel anything in the wheel that you feel with the formula pro car (made by studio 397). It feels like I’m just playing the f1 games and we all agree those are the worst physics and feedback you can get and is basically an arcade game. There’s 0 indication in the wheel if you’re scrubbing tires, losing traction, or for any kind of lock up. Meanwhile in a car truly meant for the sim I’m getting all that feedback. Is there settings that need to be adjusted for these mods to give you the proper feedback? Do these mods not give that kind of feedback? And if not, why is anyone downloading these and even more, why would they be reviewed so highly? It’s so so bad compared to what the real driving experience should be that I’m convinced my settings must be jacked up when driving the mods. Looking for feedback from the rfactor community on this, cuz I’m very disappointed.

The Masaryk Circuit in Brno is probably the most popular track in the Czech Republic and its sweeping corners are fantastic for high-downforce openwheelers

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.

MNRL Mazda Spec Miata Cup - Lime Rock

Skipping off to the States for a track with only 1 left turn. Short and sweet, this circuit is a rollercoaster Miata drivers love riding again and again.

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.

Too much vibration

Bought and installed the Formula E Gen 3 cars.

When I drove one of the cars, steering wheel keeps vibrating. It's as if I'm holding a jack hammer.

Currently using the MOZA R5 Bundle.

Any idea what might be causing it?

Greatly appreciate for any hints or leads to solving it.

Formula Pro League

I’m new to rfactor 2 and am loving the formula pro car. I know it doesn’t have the ERS but it handles just like a formula 1 car and has that powerful v10 to make up the difference. I found a league but we are getting to the end of the season before a break. I’m wondering if there are more leagues out there for the formula pro car and I’d love to join. Anyone else looking for the same thing?

NARS Virtual F3 World Championship - Autopolis

Autopolis is an extremely popular road course nestled in the hills of southern Japan. Fast and flowing corners will push drivers to see how hard they can push these F3's to maximize those lap times.

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.

It's back to Italy for the 3rd time this year. Monza is a very fast track that features a wild crossover, incorporating a high-banked oval and a series of chicanes designed to try and keep the speeds slightly less than insane. A truly challenging experience for all drivers and cars.

The Virtual World Sportscar Championship and MNRL feature incredible multi-class (Pro & Am) short-format endurance racing with the custom built WSC 1964 mod by Storm Gang Simulation. Live weather, big grids and close competition regardless of skill level. The era of the late 60's made for some intense matchups and manufacturers from around the world were forming rivalries and eyeing up the biggest prizes. Featuring work by: SmallBlockHero, Robi3381, Perendinator, Brian B, Legion, Ben Boorman, Ozerdogan Design.

The series starts off strong with a very popular short course of Manfield Circuit Chris Amon located in Feilding, New Zealand. 7 undulating curves across 3km makes for a great tail-wagging good time in these little Miatas.

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.

New to Rfactor2

Hey guys, newbie here and I was wondering if there is any kind of mod to change the virtual steering wheel MFD on the formula pro car. I race in VR, have been having trouble getting overlays to show up (completely different story and I am working on the fix). But I was wondering if there were any mods that just change what I see on the virtual steering wheel besides tire temps, last lap, and best lap. It'd be nice to see a delta time showing on there or maybe even some delta times of the person in front of me or behind me. Not sure if this is a thing but thought I'd ask you guys and see if there is anything like this. thanks!
