    Released Photo Mode and Cinematics

    This new functionality sounds really interesting, however I have misgivings about "...the new photo Mode is best used with a gamepad controller to help you move smoothly and accurately around the environment...". rFactor 2 already has a bug where controller configuration incurs issues when...

    Optimize the graphics engine (performance) in 2023 ?

    I'm in the market for a new PC with an RTX 4090. To maximise rF2 performance, which Intel CPU should I be purchasing?

    Support for up to 16 input devices not working. Limit seems to be 8 Game Controllers.

    Background: The Q3 2022 Update included "...Support for up to 16 input devices...". Issue: if Windows has more than 8 Game Controllers, then rF2 mis-configures controllers (eg wheel, pedals or other peripherals). Symptoms: An example is Force Feedback stops working, or rF2 won't accept button...

    SOLVED stutter with new hardware

    I have no idea what your PC's issue is, but I've had rFactor 2 issues with my new PC with a RTX 3090. I don't have a solution for mine, but it may be a combination of Windows 11 and running a 4th monitor on the Intel GPU. Whenever an application displays active telemetry in the 4th monitor...

    Anyone else concerned about MSG’s future?

    Yikes. Stock splits generally means the company is optimistic about its future. Reverse stock splits usually means the reverse of being optimistic.

    No Force Feedback with 12 USB Game Controllers

    I returned to rFactor 2 today because of the "...Support for up to 16 input devices...". Depending on which wheel I use, I run between 7 and 12 USB Game Controller devices. When running 7 USB Game Controller devices, the game and the wheel's force feedback works as expected. 7 USB Game...

    Is there a maximum limit on the number of USB Game Controllers?

    Thanks Marcel and all - My issue is my UGT based wheel. It support lots of funky switches, buttons etc. but comes up as 5 separate Game Controller devices within Windows and is a bit buggy. Alas Asetek bought out UGT recently and advised wheel manufacturers to withdraw UGT based wheels from...

    Is there a maximum limit on the number of USB Game Controllers?

    Does rFactor 2 have any maximum limits on the number of concurrent USB Game Controllers? One of my steering wheels has a Ultimate Game Tech (UGT) circuit board, which comes up as 5 separate USB Game Controllers in Windows 10. In addition to this I have a servo, shifter, handbrake, pedals which...

    Rfactor2 The VR thread -settings & tips

    I'm re-trying Oculus Rift VR for the first time since last year when we moved to the UI, and need help on how to see the mouse pointer. Last year under the old UI I had no issues using the mouse to navigate and use the menu screens, however with this new UI, I can't see my mouse in VR. I can...

    What motion sim should I buy? (budget 4000€)

    If you only want 3DoF, then I would suggest a second-hand D-Box (Generation 1). This model was superseded in 2017 and D-Box is now up to Generation 3, however the 3DoF performance of Gen 1 through to Gen 3 is the same (i.e. same motion, same quietness, same reliability etc). The key...

    Sound improvements

    You are a champ. That does work. By reducing the Windows Volume Mixer's "D3DProxyWindow", that reduced the master volume in rF2. I found adjusting the "Steam" volume setting didn't make any changes to rF2's volume. Thanks for your help! :) Cheers

    Sound improvements

    Thanks, but that also reduces the volume of my podcasts playing on the same PC. I want the easy ability to play podcasts at 100% volume, and rF2 at say 30% volume, and then easily change rF2 volume back to 100% when I'm not listening to a podcast. Cheers

    Sound improvements

    I sometimes listen to podcasts, hence I want to reduce the game's overall master volume without reducing the PC's sound volume. Is there an easy way to change rF2's master volume, either via the in-game menu or by modifying a file(s), so I can switch between low and full game master sound...
