I Tried The New Formula E Game... I Wish I Hadn't
Ойындар
Formula E Gen 3 cars have been added as paid DLC for rFactor 2! I haven't played rF2 for a while so this seemed like a great time to revisit it...until it wasn't.

So your major complaints are "it's too simmy", when it's in rFactor, and that the cars understeer, when they're Formula E cars. Call me a cynic, but it feels like you missed the point if I'm honest.

to be fair, he just highlight some of the ridiculous issues still in RF2 after more than a decade, full course yellow is absolutely broken. And some content does feel trash. I've been running the BTCC cars on the new tracks and its amazing, but when I try some other options the game is often completely broken
The car is fine, you're just not driving it de way it's meant to be driven. It's an electric car with pretty much no downforce and road tyres, you can't expect it to drive like an F1 car! Ps. This sim has one of the best ffb's out there, I'd advise you to watch a tutorial on how to set this sim up.

I'm not the biggest rF2 fan and it has A LOT of issues but physics and FFB are not one of them. I feel even the most anti-rF2 people admit it's one of the best sims when it comes to those. Can't speak to the Formula E stuff though, haven't tried it and don't think I'd drop the money for it lol.

I'm glad ppl like it, each to their own, but deffo a waste of money for me. Maybe it does have good physics and FFB, but I've never got that far....
I actually love these formula E cars they are raw and challenging. This is actually how the cars handle you have to brake kind of early and work towards the corner and ones you are at the corner you have to steer really aggresively. If you look at the onboards you also see they drive it like this. But I do race in VR that makes a big difference, I see the corners way better then on a monitor. Rf2 in general has one of the best physics and FFB in my opinion but the game content itself is kind of a mess.

Doesn't know about the lift and coast on these Formula E cars and probably doesn't watch the qualifiers
Funnily enough this shows pretty well how far CM/EA F1 mains are from actual simracers.
Yeah the Gen 3 car has some issue with the FFB and feel thanks to the front engine regen physics it seems. Gen 1 & 2 were one of the best suiting cars for rFactor 2 tyre model in my opinion and showed the potential of the sim at it's best, especially with the Accelerate esports championship. If you had no feel with any of the other cars though, there must have been something wrong with your settings. 50% damper and 11 interpolation is quite high (Fanatec suggests half those values for rF2) and next time also do check that you didn't have any of the steering aids turned on in-game
Reminds me of the first time you tried the FSR mod 8 years ago. 🤣 Hilarious. You'll get there one day.
Looks like somebody is Mrs. Gillon, as she rates this game by how it looks like. Stay by your arcades and leave the core alone. Good you uninstal, 1 less noob in the field.
RF2 is not a game, its a sim, also how is it being a sim bad. Also probably would help if you drove it like a sim as in lift and coast, not braking fully into every corner as the FE brakes are not that good, also not turning while braking. It does have its flaws, yes, it is quite finicky and the UI is terrible but the driving experience is one of the best. Race teams even use the RF2 physics engine for their own sims, and just add their cars in, like you said FE drivers use it to practice so it has to be good

I thought I was alone in the dlc being bad, by traffic overtaking under SC/FCY or getting overtaken by traffic that got an impossibly good exit that would send me in a spin if I tried it, not to mention an unforgiving back end. Gen 2 is a much better dlc pack, because the other cars are bound to the same physics you are. Also, weren’t these Gen 3 AWD? I’d be expecting far more stability on exit if that were the case. It’s a lot more stable than RWD. I don’t know if there’s a tuning option I’m missing or something, but it doesn’t feel like an AWD car at all.

Bro just use the DAMN base game cars! RF2 comes with great cars and the ffb is among the best. Your settings must be wrong or the wheel you use isn’t very compatible. It’s weird, the ffb should be the best there is.
Your going to annoy all the rFactor fan boys with this one. Problem with rFactor is it takes a lot of fiddling to get a fun experience out of it, but it can be a fun experience, which is why many like it. As for the FE content. The AI for the new FE cars is meant to be a bit jank, especially on the official tracks which is a shame. I think if you go on a more normal track its meant to be better. They seemed to rush it out so they could get their FE esports championship started with the new cars.

It's just that rFactor2 is like that, the UI in other sims is way better, and as you said yourself, sims are about the driving not the looks
I have to say, your ffb settings were a bit wonky imo. I can't help but feel you went into this with a narrative you wanted to portray. This didn't look like a fair crack at it tbh. rFactor2 has some of the best feeling ffb in the entire industry and what you described was not the typical experience. Where I do agree with you though is how technical it is, the UI / UX whilst improved in recent years is still miles off where it should be. You shouldn't have anywhere near the amount of issues you did setting up your wheel. You shouldn't need to invest more than 5 minutes setting up your controls. However, when you do, it really is one of, if not the best feeling sims out there. Personally graphics are not important for me but when running on high / max settings in can look half decent. One thing that needs a complete overhaul though is the HUD, that is a mess.

Formula e cars can not be driven like normal open wheel cars… they have no gear… no gearing differential and a ton of torque… under steer on entry and oversteer on exit are how those cars handle IRL. Although iRacing is much better
Rf2 is probably my favorite sim for steering and handling feel but like… it seems like they just got that down and stopped developing it? The UI is trash, the AI behavior makes no sense, and as a game it’s unplayable. But as a sim, like I’m training to get in a race car or I wanna see what would a lap in this car actually feel like, it’s damn good
this is r factor2
You know you did a good job when you get all of the theater kids out of their echo chambers. Your video shows all of the issues and glitches that rFactor 2 has had for years and all they can do is insult you is really telling, you earned a sub.
