    Hello can anyone tell me how can I change my Real/Nickname?
    If I change the Player.plr and start the multiplayer, is still every time again the old name in it and it is not accepted

    Why? Have you changed your name also in real life? ;)

    When the beta came out, people were using a trick to change name in the profile and then set the file's attribute to "read-only" but I have no idea if that still works.

    Yes I have, it is indeed the type used in the purchase of the name is registered with Paypal.
    Since I got married, my name has changed.
    In the league where I go, it is imperative that the real name will be displayed with the egistriert I'm there.
    And which corresponds to not just the standing in plr.

    I thought it was only women that change their surnames on marriage?

    To change your name in game, you must do:

    - Windows START button
    - In RUN or "Search programs and files" type %appdata%
    - Select the .rFactor folder
    - Right-click on rFactor.name file and open with notepad
    - Change your name (first it's your firstname, second your lastname and the final line is your nickname)
    - Save file
    - Right-click on rFactor.name file, select properties
    - Check box labeled "Read-only" and press OK

    Please be prepared to reverse this later down the road when ISI gives a proper way to fix player names.

    Than your league should set dedicated server to allow to using of nicknames. Since this, you may use nickname set in PLR file

    Can't see it being a priority but they did swap real and nicknames round after all the initial moaning, but also added a 'force real name' option for servers too for B60, so I guess it could happen.
