The super-fast "Corvette" was actually an LMP2 with a custom livery. Due to the way LFM servers are configured, custom liveries are allowed but not shared with others, so those who don't have them see a model of their own car. Boris is aware of the issue and until livery sharing is properly implemented within LFM, custom liveries will be disabled.

@@StevePhoenix Thx. IIRC Assetto Corsa does something similar with custom liveries but I think it still showed the car model faithfully, jsut a white skin. This was why leagues and enduros issued a "livery pack" that racers had to download before the race. I guess LFM needs to do smth similar if not find a way to automate it. Thx for the explainer.

man these RF2 vids are making me wanna get back into rf2 after a year or so away from it. wait till you try driving in the rain dave, it's so much fun

Loving the video Dave :) There's loads of little tweaks you cam do to improve performance in rF2. Like, checking your graphics properties before you launch rF2. Have post effects NOT set to ultra. Lots of player.json tweaks like reducing pit lane detail. Takes a lot of googling >D

I'm SO impressed you managed to keep the car on the track, and hold on to that second. Job well done good sir 🙂

Great job for that P2, of course it's again Yuri Kasdropagear and disappear so a kinda P1 feeling haha. Nice vid as always, love your content dave

Smooth driving on that last 15 minutes, very nice!!

Thanks for the reply to the email Dave it helped a lot. After 3 years of getting into sim racing and seeing your videos on RF2, I went out on a limb to get RFactor2. I did not like the demo of it then and there were so many negatives about this title I just ignored it. However after seeing your last 3 posts I figured hey It can't be all that bad. And since Low Fuel Motor Sports has a great online meet for it, it just seemed a no brainer to give it a try. The RF2 menu system is no more complicated than AC with CSP and really after spending some time going through it was not all the difficult to set up. I spent most of the time on getting the sound bearable. Actually from a graphics point of view with my 1660Ti 4ghz laptop I maxed it all out and ran a grid of 35 and 4 classes CPU was 40% and the 6 gig Ti filled 4.5 gigs of ram 75% saturation 1080p on my 42" monitor 60 fps was a breeze for trying out a offline race and the CSL DD is wonderful. Now that I'm finally getting over long covid ( hopefully, rough at 63 ) I am really excited to give RF2 some quality time and so far like you said Dave it is really a blast. I noticed one other fella in the comments said " I told you so" LOL. I like it that devs of RF2 are updating it. The only hiccup that I have experienced is when messing with the sound I went down from 255 to the lowest setting and game crashed but no worries on that as I just left it at 255 in the end. I really think that RF2 and AMS2 for that matter should get rid of the road/wind noise so that we can hear the curbs and environment w/o all the NOISE or at least give us a way the turn it down or off, it is so annoying and irritating. Any way Dave thanks for the posts and it was nice to read all the other comments as well. SSSSh I got it at G2A for 6 bucks so I'm good spending some on the content and LFM. Got to love the pace car, the full course yellows, the flagmen and the track info lights a great immersion.

Very nice driving Dave, congratulations on the podium!

love the multi class vids, hope to see more dave

Excellent content P2 was some result you can see you have been SIM racing for year's mega smooth and consistent and a couple of gd saves as well 👍

PS It's interesting if it wouldn't have been better to run mediums at these sorts of distances if not planning to change tires. Perhaps they would be a little slower in the beginning, but maybe they wouldn't have been dropping so much towards the end, so on balance, perhaps they might be quicker (just guessing). The only worrying factor about this is that Jimbo called out about cold tires even as it was (... what? soft tires getting cold in 2/3 of the distance? ...), so it's easy to imagine that mediums would never get a chance to maintain temperature. Hard to understand this.

Every time your going to post a RF2 video I am going to tell you: "I told you so, Dave!"

Keep up the good work.. blurred steering wheel ehh.. looking forward to the upcoming review 😀

Dave, as for performance improvements, there's a few things you could try: Graphics Configuration - Sync Mode 'None', Post Effects 'High', Check GPU and Refresh Rate are correct (don't leave GPU at Auto) In Game Settings [Graphics] - Display FXAA 'Off', Graphics Shadow Blur 'Quality' In Game Settings [Sound] - lower the 'Number of effects' (for some people, me included, I can't run at 255, but around 70..100 is fine, plus I don't notice any difference) I'm sure there's more, but meh... Much Love

To improve the mirror quality you must edit the player.JSON file located in "rFactor 2\UserData\player". Set "Rearview Cull" to false, and "Rearview_Back_Clip" sets the render distance (in meters) Nice drive, love to see rf2 getting some love.

Hey Dave, you should check if you're GPU limited or CPU limited. If you use MSI Afterburner with Rivatuner, you can open an ingame overlay and check your GPU utilization. It's also possible to just have MSI Afterburner running in the background and then check the GPU utilization curve after a race. If it's not 100% or very close to it, you're strongly CPU bottlenecked. It's possible that with a lot of cars about, the CPU gets taxed more in comparison to the GPU, but I have no experience with rF2, so I couldn't tell you :) If performance isn't desirable both in cases where GPU utilization is pegged at 99-100%, and cases where it's lower, then both the CPU and GPU are bottlenecking you.

Good race there Dave. I have noticed the last two videos where you had a major slide you weaved to get more track space too close to the turn in for the apex. Or am i going a little bit crazy?

You've gotta try out the 488 GTE soon!

i can recomand simhub as an overlay. it´s hugely customably and has usefool app´s for every situation. Most intresting for multiclass racing are probably things like an usable relative.

I have sat thru this entire race and it pisses me off that I don't have high speed internet. I am on my cell phone hot spot and I am pretty sure It's not good or stable enough to race on. I am dying to let one of the prototypes loose. They are so freakin' cool. Verizon guy told me that his coverage app showed coverage for my address but thats wireless and I am worried about packet loss etc. To think I had to put a 2nd phone line in my house back in 1998 to race on. We had to force our modems down to 9600 baud rate to stop the warping. Ah...... those were the days...... I miss all those dudes. We basically set the ground work for what became Iracing. Maybe sometime soon I will join the masses and fight my way out of the rookie classes. 14+ years online racing and I have to start from scratch..... kind of cool really, it will be interesting. Nice run D! Pretty smooth for talking through each lap. Peace

First thing I noticed is the fact that the Turn 1 runoff area is correct! It bugs the hell out of me in iRacing how the outside curbing and runoff area in Turn 1 are not accurate. I've been fortunate enough to have done a few track days at Road America and you gain so much time by using all that extra pavement in real life that you can't get in iRacing because its grass.

Rf2 is the only racing sim to elude me.

Hello Dave, I am trying to figure out what to do. I have been racing on Iracing for several years, getting ready to spend some money but I am trying to decide which direction to go. I am considering upgrading my current pc which is running a good cpu and the RTX 2080ti. I am deciding between the nicer Vr headsets out today or a triple screen rig. First do I need to upgrade Gpu if I go triple monitors ? I want to be more competitive and part of that is knowing what's going on around me,don't like pushing a button to look so emersion seems to be the ticket. Also it might help in depth perception and hitting my marks more consistently. Sorry didn't mean to write a book just thought an answer to some of my questions would be very helpful so thanks in advance.

Does the screen seem choppy? Any chance you've clicked off the main screen Dave? Rf2 will revert back to 30fps if you click on another window. If you hit Ctrl+F it brings up the fps as an overlay.

Can't seem to get like any FFB in this game for some reason.. I have a VRS DD and a GSI wheel and RF2 gives me like 2% FFB, if that. Nothing in turns, pretty much only as a i hit a wall. Any tips?

@Dave Cam Hi Dave. Was it the race or the upload that was causing the frame drops. It doesn't look as smooth as your other videos.

That wheel has gotta be the Formula Pro Elite, no?

Do you recommend RF2 over iRacing? Having a hard time choosing, I want to race different cars instead of just gt3 for acc but looking for good online as well. I'd really like to do LMP and formula racing and well as touring racing.

Sounds like Yuri is smitten with RF2 too, judging by his Tweet today - "iRacing is done, the future is here."
