The 2022 UI Update for rFactor 2 - Coming Soon

No exact timings as of yet, however we anticipate it to be a morning release

 

note that as soon as studio 397 releases the new build there will also be asr formula which releases the new formula 1 mod 1991 with updated cars with new cars

 

Repeat shift setting in the menu? LMV inspired?

Be interesting to see how some of these screens change dynamically, for example if a user has 8 plugins.

It would be great to have some 'advanced' menus covering basically all the still-current JSON settings across the different categories. Even if the old unused parameters are left in the JSON files.


On that note: can anyone confirm rumble pull actually doing anything? I mean, an effect that changes when you change that parameter, not just "it says rumble pull in the JSON, and I can feel a pull when I'm on a kerb". I'm struggling to find a working example.

 

I might be remembering wrong but I believe I have messed with this setting twice and both times after going over a kerb the steering was canted off to one side,with no other noticeable effect.

 

Are we there yet?

 

So promising that I already have two suggestions:

- Avoid long lists of cars/tracks. Don't show car liveries and track variants in the same list. Tagged content to filter by tags would be useful along with series. (Just checked the new UI and I see they're collapsed groups, I like it.)

- Always start a server ala Doom/Quake. Integrate the server functionality into the main UI so we're always ready to join with friends and make it default whenever possible. There could be a fast way to start a race with minimal settings and an advanced way with all settings. Once in the session anyone can join in.

Good job!

 

I was curious about it as well. It scrolls now within its small window with only 4 visible at a time. Fortunately all are accessible.

 

What else I noticed.
If you set the Ui music in the sound menu, this is accepted.
The sound is absolutely great. 30% is enough, very well done.
Similar to ACC, harmonious soundscape with engine sound.
Very good, special! That's what it took.
If you shut down the computer, that is, a complete restart.
Do you have to readjust the sound in the menu, otherwise no sound!
Should be improved.
Can ACC better.
Small thing but very easy.

 

What that means, currently, is that if there are 20 AI then it appears at the top of the "number of players" list. But what (I assume) we all want is a "number of real people" list. If I turn off servers with AI, then servers with e.g. 5xAI and 5xplayers would disappear. I want to see servers with AI, but choose the ones with the most real players first.

 

So, how do you reach the config program with the "new" UI?

As there no longer is a launcher of any kind.

 

click PLAY in Steam. There will be 3 options. #2 is the config tool.

 

Thank you. I had to switch back to the old UI because the program wasn't reachable like it was before.
