    A priori this UI is not compatible with the mod kart, it is not possible to enter the setting "ackerman" and it is not possible to put rain tires ...

    Really?? Looks like I'll be uninstalling then. I also uninstalled the ISI kart U.I because of similar reports.

    Until there is a U.I. that works with everycar then I'll stick with the original RF2 one that seems to work with every car and never gives problems. There were certain options reported missing with the ISI Kart U.I., and now I hear the same reports regarding this 3rd party U.I. Such a shame. Back to the vanilla RF2 U.I. for me.

    Well Eduard couldn't know that Karts will have different options from default ones, maybe he will add them later, who knows.

    It's basically designed for use with FSR. There is no guarantee that it will work with any other car/mod.

    To the creator of this AWESOME U.I. :). I just wanted to report some setup options that are missing, but also added in and allowed to be adjusted with your U.I. which aren't "allowed" to be adjusted with the ISI U.I.

    Here is a comparison of all 3 U.I.s I made in another thread, I will repost it here for you since this is your official thread and you may not read my other thread..


    Ok so I just compared the two ISI U.I.s and also the 3rd party "rFactor 2 Minimalist UI 1.56" and all 3 seem to have differences in terms of setup options. Note: I only compared between the F1 karts, not any other cars/karts. I'm not going to sit here for 6 hours writing down every setup for 50 different vehicles spanning 3 different U.I.s for each lol.

    Blue means that only 2 out of the 3 U.I.s have this adjustment option
    Red means that only 1 out of the 3 U.I.s has this adjustment option

    Original RF2 U.I.

    1- gear ratios
    2- radiator tape
    3- idle throttle
    4- weight lateral
    5- weight distr
    6- f/r tyre pressure
    7- f/r tyre compound
    8- starting fuel
    9- number of stops, stop 1/2/3
    10- brake bias
    11- brake pressure
    12- steering ratio
    13- front camber
    14- front toe
    15- caster
    16- f/r bar (out, flat, vertical)
    17- f/r ride height
    18- seat stays (0, 2, 4)
    19- sidepod bars (loose, tight)
    20- ackerman (min, med, max)


    Minimalist U.I 1.56

    1- gear ratios
    2- radiator tape - called "rad size"
    3- idle throttle - called "Brake Map"
    4- weight lateral
    5- weight distr
    6- f/r tyre pressure
    7- f/r tyre compound
    8- starting fuel
    9- number of stops, stop 1/2/3
    10- brake bias
    11- brake pressure
    12- steering ratio
    13- front camber
    14- front toe
    15- caster
    16- f/r bar (out, flat, vertical) - called "anti-rollbar"
    17- f/r ride height
    21- f/r brake pad (1, 2, 3)
    22- CG Height (18.5 to 20.3 cm in 0.3 cm increments)


    ISI Kart U.I.

    1- gear ratios
    2- radiator tape
    3- idle throttle
    4- weight lateral
    5- weight distr
    6- f/r tyre pressure
    7- f/r tyre compound
    8- starting fuel
    9- number of stops, stop 1/2/3
    10- brake bias
    11- brake pressure
    12- steering ratio
    13- front camber
    14- front toe
    15- caster
    16- f/r bar (out, flat, vertical)
    17- f/r ride height
    18- seat stays (0, 2, 4)
    19- sidepod bars (loose, tight)
    20- ackerman (min, med, max)

    22- CG Height Range (18.5 to 20.3 cm in 0.3 cm increments)
    23- front track range (104.1 to 110.1 cm in 0.3 cm increments)
    24- rear track range (113.1 to 118.8 cm in 0.3 cm increments)



    So to summarize, when using the F1 kart...

    - Original RFactor 2 U.I. - does not give you the option to adjust #21, #22, #23 and #24.

    - "Minimalist" U.I. - does not allow you to adjust #18 , #19, #20, #23, and #24, however it is the only U.I. which does allow you to adjust #21.

    - ISI Kart U.I. - the most complete of the 3, allowing you to adjust almost everything that both other U.I.s allow you to adjust + also being the only U.I which allows you to adjust #23 and #24. The only thing missing in the ISI Kart U.I. is #21 which is only available in a 3rd party U.I., however the fact that #23 is only available in a 3rd party U.I. could be an indication that ISI never intended this option to be adjusteable in the first place, in which case the 3rd part U.I. could, in a way, almost be considered a "hack", and possibly not "fair/legal" in terms of vehicle setup adjustments.

    In case I missed anything / made a mistake please correct me.


    By the way thanks for the great work. This U.I. is clearly loved and VERY MUCH APPRECIATED by almost everyone it seems :)

    Spinelli, if it's so much down to the UI man, why not having more rF2 installs. At least that's what I am going to do. :p
    I have 2 special installs and one for "causal racing".

    I'm already aware that some of the setup options are missing, this UI is not final, requires a constant updating and it is what I'm doing because ISI is going to introduce more and more setup options in the future. So at the moment I just added some important functions like setup notes and custom AI since it was not too hard to add and seems a lot of people use them.

    What I ask is patience, because the target is to be able to use this UI with every car and mod, but take into acount that to modify or add things to the UI is not fast or easy at all.

    if there was a way that ISI could enable the facility to allow the track loading screen to appear in the cam window
    (whilst loading) that would be slick, just a small thing but all the small things add up

    It's basically designed to work with rFactor 2.

    Is that your skin used for the historic car?

    If yes, well done. :)

    It's unbelievable how much more modern RF2 now feels, and also the feeling of the "ongoing race/world" is much higher with the ability to see other drivers on a big screen.

    Yup, i'm so enjoying this. in fact, I spend more time looking at the UI then racing!
    (ok maybe not but almost!)

    I'm extremely happy with how most things are in one window, even chat remains visible most times and that's a real plus for us admins. top job :)

    I was just comparing all 3 U.Is with the F1 kart specifically, was not trying to single out your U.I. Trust me, I think the work you have done is already amazing. The design, look, functionality, everything. Take as much time as you need. The RFactor 2 community owes you big time. Thank you sooooo much :)
