I did a 30 min race at Fuji and the AI had 5.5% tyre wear per lap, forcing them to pit. I have not seen this issue with any other cars. Meanwhile my tyre wear was 0.75% which is significantly lower than my usual habit of killing tyres

Dear fellow simracers, this is just a note for anyone looking for hardware advice in the future that Radeon video cards should be avoided at all costs. They may work with RF2 but most likely they will not. If you are looking to play other sims as well, for example Assetto Corsa Competizione...

I'm in serious need of help to understand S397 cars. This weekend, I have tried several AMS1 and RF2 mods (Enduracers) before driving AMR GT3. I have realised that these cars are the shittiest in all of simracing. With default setups, same driving style, this car is the ONLY which completely...

I was sorting out stuff in my library and came upon this mod which I haven't touched for years. Ever since S397 GT cars were released, I have rarely looked elsewhere. Out of curiosity, I loaded up a session with Flat6. I don't know what tyre model it' currently using and about is the consensus...

I don't know if it's related... but I sometimes experience a strange phenomenon that when I lose grip a little bit, in the very same moment a car I'm following also starts to slide.. just as if it was mimicking me Not sure if it's a real issue or just randomness.

I have a feeling that ABS and TC may contribute a lot to tyre wear, as it was much more moderate with GTE car at VIR (could be just the track though) I'm pretty sure however that AI tyre wear is broken. I have picked an extreme track, Portimao. With the sweeping, uphill, full throttle last...

This is brilliant I'm always having trouble setting up multiclass fields. This I can also scale back (30 cars) for my low end machine and still get reasonable number of cars in each class. Just had a nice 90 min race at Sebring

Since the GT3 update, I have noticed that my tyre wear was much higher than the AI. Wear per lap: Croft Circuit 25 min: average AI on soft tyres: 1.5 - 1.0 / 1.2 - 0.9 me on medium tyres: 2.5 - 1.3 / 1.1 - 0.9 Botniaring 30 min: average AI on soft tyres: 1.5 - 1.4 / 1.3 - 1.3 me on soft...

I have been taking a break from simracing over the past couple of months. It may be because of this, and my evolving understanding of car handling but GT3 feels better than ever. Sense of control is awesome (even the errors I make are not coming out of nowhere), I can feel the grip limit, front...

One thing about rFactor2 which keeps me away from playing is the amount of effort it requires to set up a race vs AI. While in other games you can jump in easily, in this game loading times are long. Ideal difficulty settings vary in a wide range. And we are also supposed to run a whole practice...

I have come upon a video on this just yesterday (3:06): You need to disable blue flags within player.json. I have not tested it myself.

Agreed, GT3 is such core content that it needs to be done well. They may not be generating revenue from existing content but the reason why most of us play RF2 is superior physics. This is why it can get away with things like AI bugs, long loading times, low quality Porsche, missing...

This is what happens my manually adding Ferrari GTE cars to a session:

I usually dislike most modern tracks in non-traditional locations (aka. Tilkedromes), so I had low expectations for Bahrain. However, it has set a new benchmark for me when talking about a technical, challenging track. I have also not seen a track which resembled so many features of other...

Thank you, that's brilliant. The wheel was set to 360 rotation in the TM software. I noticed that I was quicker on some tracks because it helped me utilize the whole steering range (even if not realistic). I just set it to 540. It improved the situation a lot, I was able to increase strength...
