Eyud posted:rFactor 2 is on Steam now. If you already have a non-Steam copy, you can get a key here. It's also 40% off if you don't have it. Also has Steam Workshop support which is gonna make managing what content the game has easier.

E:  They changed nothing. Even with Steam Workshop you still need to go through the launcher to install mods. At least it's mostly automatic but holy poo poo is this unnecessary. Also it'll download literally every bit of content for the game even if you didn't subscribe to it on first launch. This game is such a god drat nightmare. njsykora fucked around with this message at 16:04 on Nov 13, 2015 |

OK so I just spent some time with it and have some opinions. First, holy poo poo does this run better now. I don't know if it's Steam or the last update but I can actually run races now without dropping framerate into the toilet. Second the race events are something I'm in favour of. I don't know if they've always been there but this is the first time I've seen them. Everything just feels more controlled now and it's a much more pleasant game to play.

So what's the chance that the new Fanatec wheel is going to be a replacement for the GT2 as an affordable wheel? Or will it be stupidly expensive.

If it was a new high end product, especially if it was a DD wheel, it would be most likely be a picture of a base and not a rim. Plus the materials don't look like the high end stuff to me.

If Fanatec was smart, it would be a low-end/mid-range wheelbase that comes with whatever that wheel is. It would also support the universal hub so you could customize but it would also make it easier to upsell people into a CSW v2 base. The default wheel has a quick release but isn't very feature rich so you can buy the universal hub. Now you have the universal hub, you can go straight into this CSW base.

I've just spent some time with rFactor 2 on Steam - I didn't get the email originally but after I sent a support email they replied within the hour with the Steam code which is nice! Has there always been a wheel soft lock? I have a feeling that there was but I could never get it to work if that was the case. It make the game more playable since needing to dick around in the Logitech thing before playing is always annoying... Also the race events thing is good and not something that I'm sure they had before, plus they seem to have put some thought into what tracks to put with what car: I tried driving the IndyCar (badly) and all the tracks they had seemed to fit the IndyCar very well. I actually quite like the different variations they have on the totally not-Top Gear test track, its an interesting idea and an airport track is different at least: I still think that the old Cleveland IndyCar track is better but I'll take it! For some reason the identical cars are much harder to drive in this than in iRacing - at least the IndyCar and the Skip Barber are. I don't know whether that's more realistic, whether its car setup, whether its an rFactor2 thing or just me but I'm not a huge fan. I know that rFactor2 gets a lot of criticism for its content but track-wise at least its not that bad. It may not have all of the big tracks but I honestly don't mind missing some of them if we get some interesting tracks that aren't in every other game and it delivers that to some extent with some of the smaller American tracks that they have that no other game has. It doesn't get close to SCE in the "weird interesting tracks that aren't in any other game" stakes but its . I'm just hoping that they release some of the stuff that they've been licenced: when they first got IndyCar and IMS (the latter is a very good track with all the combos that they've used in the past for the road tracks) they were meant to release a lot of old IndyCar stuff (I remember a 95 Reynard, a 80s March, a 60s rear-engined one and a Roadster are what I can vaguely remember them being) and they've not been mentioned since. Hopefully we'll hear more now that they have the Stock Cars out and anyone of them would dramatically increase the amount of (unique) oval content they have, although I'm a little biased being a big IndyCar fan.

The teased Fanatec wheel is on their web shop - it's a $140 rim for the ClubSport wheel base  However, it is listed as part of the CSL product family, not ClubSport. I'd guess that means they will be releasing a cheap wheel base, maybe around $200, to replace the CSR stuff. The ClubSport v3 pedals have a new preorder arrival date of 11/20, so they have another batch of products arriving soon. Maybe there are more CSL products there, to be teased shortly. The new rim's shot was too dark to see the wheel base, so who knows what could be coming in the pipeline...

It would be interesting if they made all their CSR/CSL rims compatible with the CSW base just without the quick release thing. Would probably get more people getting in with the cheaper CSR/L stuff then upgrading to a CSW base later because they didn't have to spend an extra €300 getting a new rim for it.

Exactly, or even the reverse - ClubSport wheel rim with a cheaper base, then upgrade the base later. Not sure if it's feasible, but it would really help lock in their consumers. I'm hoping for a new shifter set to be announced. Flappy paddles just suck when that's your only option, and I've been jonesing for a shifter. That being said, 200 bucks is more than I can justify for a decent shifter when I'm still on the CSR wheel. If they announce a new midrange shifter I'll either buy that, or I'll get the junky CSR set on discount when they clear it out.

I don't know what they could do to make a cheaper decent shifter. The CSS is pretty bare bones inside. All they could do is just make it all out of plastic which they did with the csr shifters and they were garbage.

I don't know why, but I did. Really if I was gonna make a sim work with a gamepad it'd be rFactor because the earning credits and buying cars and upgrades thing really appeals to me as a videogame and I'm kinda sad no mods ever really went deep into that.

Have to say I've been pleasantly surprised how many people have brought their rFactor 2 mods to Steam Workshop, the Virtua_LM tracks, many of the major car mods and a few UI mods have been added in the last week alongside a lot more tracks including a nice conversion of Macau from Race 07. Though it's always funny to look at the profiles of the people putting these up and seeing they mostly play Assetto Corsa. Also Steam Sale is starting on the 25th, so that'll likely be a good time to pick up Raceroom and Assetto Corsa DLC if you don't have it. njsykora fucked around with this message at 17:01 on Nov 20, 2015 |

I purchased game stock car extreme last night. Didn't have much time to get into it. Triple monitor support seems clunky. As in, it hard crashed my machine. Also no profile for a driving force GT wheel. I did some searching but it looks like most info on suggested FFB settings are from 2011. Haven't they undergone bug changes in physics and FFB since then ?

The sequential shifts have over-rev protection now. Stick+Clutch obviously does not, so that can still be an issue though. I like the change since I had a habit of dropping gears on the Ferrari and Formula cars, which usually resulted in either a toasted engine or spin. I finally got AC working on Windows 10 with the Rift. They haven't updated it for quite a while, though I gotta say it looks and runs smoother than Project Cars, which has been kept up to date on the latest Rift builds. Looking forward to when they put more time into it, so I have a better menu system and no need to mess with the batch system that I need to use on 10. Nordschleife on AC is so much better too. Easily my favorite track with hundreds of laps at this point.

Made me wonder why I was taking hairpins at Nurburgring in 3rd. I think AC is the only game still that has a laser scanned Nordschleife for a few more weeks which might explain why its so good. I haven't driven it though, waiting for the Steam sale to pick up the dream packs.

The negative and positive correspond to what your wheel thinks the positive direction is. If your hardware designer was not an animal, counterclockwise should be the positive direction.
