Reporting Issues: Should you encounter any technical difficulties, please provide a clear description along with supporting screenshots. This will help to investigate and address concerns promptly.

In case of FPS issues or AI troubles:
I was able to run the track with 35 cars on my older 1070ti Nvidia, just some very far LOD if you really pay attention on it. Make sure you have enough free SSD space, I noticed that having a full drive myself caused a lot of trouble in the past within rF2 or other games.
On my 4090 Nvidia and maxed out graphics I can run all DLC cars at very good FPS rates similar to Spa-Francorchamps and Brands Hatch with same amount of cars, I compared results with 8 other DLC tracks to get a good average idea on the 1070ti and 4090.

A lot work has gone in optimizing for FPS and LOD as I wanted it to be less poly hungry for VR.
Race day will put more assets on the track, practice has the least draw on performance.
If you run at noon in full sunny or light cloudy day, the performance is best.
This is and has never been different for me over the last 6 years on the simulator.

Sunsets and nights pull more power, SCN is done by S397 recommendations with shadow groups.

Thank you all for the support.

Enjoy the most accurate simulation of a track that holds special meaning for me, I might do more work later. I could make the road less poly, but we would miss out on serious cool details in the FFB.

For me this project never stops.

Enjoy and be safe :D

Random videos from YT I really enjoy watching

Today ?! Thats sooner than expected. Definitely aiming to have this one.

I almost there to releasing Vanwall VW5 mod. But it is not quite a match for the track, as obviously more modern GT cars are expected to have a great run there, so I will hold for couple more days. Meanwhile will do some testing in Zolder, maybe it will be great there.

Although they seem to have little bit historics action, looks alright
 
How to solve this:

Cicuit Zolder is grayed out ingame in the tracklist.
Purchased it in Steam, not ingame..

Did you all buy it when the Game was running?
Maybe you then have to shut down and start it again, to let it detect that you bought it already and get it into the Unlock.bin File.
 
I bought it when the game was closed, started it up, closed it, and opened it again... it's still gray with the basket in front.
 
Check the Unlock.bin File in the Folder ..\rFactor 2\UserData, if it was updated after you bought the Track.
