    I have a perfectly running DX9 installation mainly because Trackmap is not working in DX11.
    Now I found a thread on SimHub on RD that I want to test.
    Can someone clearly explain to me how to go to DX11 without corrupting my good DX9 installation in case I am not happy with the results or FPS?
    And if this is not possible not to return to DX9 (working as before) , to let me know.

    All you have to do ceecee is goto your installed folder ie steamapps/common/rfactor2
    then just drag the rf2 folder to say the root dir of that drive, ie C:\rfactor2
    Then just update your current steamapps/common/rfactor2 files from Steam
    Then you'll have
    C:\rfactor2 (DX9)
    C:\steamapps/common/rfactor2 (DX11)
    to use the C:\rfactor2 make a shortcut on the desktop from C:\rfactor2\Launcher\Launch rFactor.exe
