    What a Nightmare !

    I have rFactor V8, Dirt, ALMS, Touring-GT and Open Wheel installs plus rFactor Tracks folder. ( 120+ GB total)

    How many rfms to edit !?! lol :)


    Why change to rFactor Steam I do not understand why anyone would. ?

    BTW:

    Why go about editing files to change folders ?

    All you need do is make a Batch File with " BatchRun" to rename them before Steam runs ?

    Ah np John doh I understand now.

    So if you have not enough buttons or if you like everything mapped ( I am glad Historic is my car, makes life simple ;) )

    Back to BatchRun, would be good to see someone test.

    1. Copy paste rFactor folder in Steam not another location.

    2. Rename it for example rFactorALMS and add all your tracks and cars to it.

    3. Start BatchRun make a shortcut for example: rFactor Lemans

    1st command: Rename rFactor to rFacto_

    2nd command: Rename rFactorALMS to rFactor

    3rd command : Run rFactor/Steam

    4th command ( delayed ): Rename rFactor to rFactorALMS

    5th command ( delayed): Rename rFacto_ to rFactor

    Save shortcut, name it to reflect series, add a icon

    Repeat for each folder.


    That way you have all your rF folders in steam in order so they easy to work on.
    Each "should" start with a click of the Batchrun shortcuts.
    When they close they will revert to the original folder.
