- Firstly, apologies for the camera focus. Secondly, apologies for the audio. I hadn't gotten around to splitting the audio channels but will be fixed for the next video. Please let me know if you can notice any difference with the quality of the gameplay recording. :)

LFM, Michi and Dave have brought RF2 to where it deserves to be! Thank you to the three of you!
You've made me sign up to LFM. Long time RF2 driver with little purpose until now. Been in a session with 24 other drivers and that is unheard of for RF2. It really is a fantastic system
It's because its a super cool racing game which finally earns the attraction which it has deserve! Big thank to LFM that we can experience that now ;-)
Mmmm the thing is, it's a really cool sim, i enjoy the driving a lot (but some gt3 cars need a rework asap) and it has a lot of potential and I want to love it but, its lack of atention is deserved. Their user experience so far has being awful, their solo experience has been awful (aside from driving a car on your own just for the pleasure of driving), their ranked multiplayer experience has been awful and a total failure, their pricing and store system are awful and their advances on the sim has been slow and not much of game changers. So a 3rd party app, being LFM had to come to save the sim and draw atention to it, but saying that it deserves atention is putting this sim in a place were is really far from being.
I'm also very grateful, the only reason I didn't play was due to the lack of a good multiplayer system
@@jt9565 to be fair, it wasn't planned to be multi-player when it first came out - rather a testing ground like it's predecessor (rfPro)
@@captainbarbossa5201 well, that's okay I am sure it would have it's fanbase, but don't expect it to draw too much atention to it then.
@@jt9565 It never really needed attention after rF1
Really loving all these rF2 videos, Dave. I need to look into LFM I think!
Pretty cool to see all that LFM is doing. Keep spreading the word. Thank you for sharing
really loving this series, good to see the other sims getting some well deserved attention!
The video looks really good on this race, Dave. I've been disappointed with how R Factor 2 looks in general, but this video looks really good. It's got me thinking about trying it out.
I'm really enjoying your RF2 content! I just need to find time to do an LFM race now :D
I attended the 8pm race yesterday and used Michi Hoyers setup that he has shown in a video earlier that day. Smooth ride until the end! Setup is king on RF2.
Let's hope some of our favourite iracing developers come over to LFM and RF2. Paints, setups etc....competition is only a good thing for us pretend racing drivers.
@@Pilot.0101 love this comment
The focus is perfect...I can see the microphone boom in perfect detail! 😂 Good to see you enjoy RF2, the ffb in the sim is amazing.
Nice track and a really good race, well done!!
I run a sim center that uses Rfactor 2, and we've been saying for 2 years, if they would just update the matchmaking/multiplayer system to be on par with other modern sims, it would be extremely popular. So happy it's getting some love.
So glad you are enjoying it Dave - I’m gonna have to finally check out LFM now I think.
especially if I see some Le Mans multi class lol
I couldn't notice any tearing at all. Good quality overall. Nice race indeed, well done.
Glad you're enjoying RF2. Good racing.
All looked good to me Dave.
Great racing throughout and most enjoyable to watch.
I always find I drive better when I'm chasing someone rather than being chased.
I noticed Julie also seems to be the same after watching Monday nights race.
I must say I was thinkful she had just as bad a race as I did and only managed to extend her lead on me by 1 point.
Keep up the good work. 👍
rF2 is an amazing game, I truly like it more than iRacing and is one of the main 3 reasons i stopped paying to race on iRacing.
Although I enjoy ACC, after I watched some of your RF2 vids i tried giving it a go - and i do agree, the handling of the cars is just so fun and immersive. You just cost me nearly 100 euro there Dave 😂
Sorry 😁
looks amazing..... would be a nice video a graphics setup for RF2 thnx for ur content Dave!
Downloaded yesterday. Gonna have to wait until this weekend to catch the LFM races at a reasonable US time. Bit of a learning curve to get running, but looking forward to getting on track.
Well done. I've been into RF2 for a few months now and was baffled by the lack of interest in it. Try Jim Pearson's Isle of Man track. There's nothing like like it.
The tortoise and the hare tyre model ... excellent !
you are not alone , I cant stop play rfactor2 after LFM launched it , I even stop my iracing subscription
It has become an excellent substitute for iracing.
I played this for the first time the other night on my sc2 Pro and I couldn't believe how good the physics feel on this sim. I will be putting lots of time into this from now on. Plus huge huge btcc fan so.. 😁
Oh you'll be putting a lot of time in alright. But unfortunately it won't be driving. It will be debugging it.
I'm honestly beginning to think my SC2 Pro is broken because rF2 feels all "buzzy" on my SC2 Pro compared to my TS-PC, and to be honest this goes for all the other main sims as well.
@@slaphead90 think you already know the answer there then lol. If all sims don't feel great then somethings wrong. I haven't had mine long coming from t500. I just found a profile for rf2 on the simucube software and it feels awesome. Literally feel the tyres folding in the road cars when losing grip. Easily feel the weight of the car too. I fell in love instantly haha! Mind you it's got some strength in it! Wrist and shoulder aches after 10 mins 😅👍🏻
@@regibson23 really? That bad then? What kind of issues do you have?
@@LeeRacer89 Yeah that's pretty much what everybody says when I say the TS-PC feels better than the the SC2 Pro. I guess I've got a dud, and it's OOW as it was bought second hand.
The force feedback and sound are the best of any racing game IMHO
Dave discovering that the rFactor 2 tire model is by far the best of all the sims... 😄😄😄
And now with Goodyear partnership, it will only get better and better!
The new tire model is amazing.
Good race Dave! Just to let you know: I would have loved to see the live speed, I missed that 😬
Great content as always, Dave. Really great. Just adjust the focus, pls. I feel better watching your eyes
For me its the best track ever so fun and underrated, also it feels me with lots of childhood memories
Can't wait for Formula Pro content in LFM... that car is a beast!
remarkable driving there DC, wow. What's interesting is Crew chief has never worked for me in rF2 and idk why 🤔.
Can’t wait till the Porsche cup is on the agenda
Thanks for this video! I was ready to jump in and try, since I had avoided RF2 for years because it's more work to actually get to drive the car than was worth it.
LFM helps a little, but the RF2 UI still leaves much to be desired and it still requires WAY more tweaking to get things to look right (messing around in ini files) than any other sim.
The other part that I don't think Dave mentioned is that if you wanted to try a series, you HAVE to purchase EVERY car pack that's included in that series (100% confirmed on the LFM Discord by the mods), which drives the cost to participate up quite significantly - for these BTCC/TCR series you have to buy 2 separate car packs at $9 each and if it's not a free track (mod), then you have to purchase that also
Some may argue that you get a bunch of different cars in those car packs, but reality is that most people will end up using just one car, the car they like to drive or the car that is more competitive, so those extra cars are never used.
I know everyone whines about the cost of iRacing, but when you own the content you need - if you are only interested in TCR races you buy the car you want and then it's just the tracks, which are priced almost the same as the RF2 tracks, and the more tracks you own in iRacing the larger the discounts become.
iRacing can be expensive if you purchase everything (Road, oval, rally etc), but most tend to focus on a series they like, and in iRacing if you like say GT3 racing, you can drive the same GT3 car in multiple different series including multi-class and endurance series, which seems like a better value. You can get annual subscription to the iRacing service for about $115, but when you own all the tracks the series you participate in use (all road tracks rotate in all road series so you use the same owned tracks for multiple road series), it's the cheapest hobby I have.
I think that RF2 could be MORE expensive if LFM keeps forcing players to buy ALL cars/content for each series, which negates any "iRacing is too expensive' rhetoric.
I wonder if Dave had a bit of help getting this all setup (I heard he did), but for anyone else, it's just not as easy as startup the title and drive.
Nope, figured most of it out on my own. Google is amazing 😁
@@davecamm - no worries Dave, my bad. Thanks for your reply. Your thoughts on the actual costs of these series, that was my main point you skirted ;)
The video quality was excellent, although, to be honest, it's kind of difficult to say how much better compared to those recorded previously on the same PC. I mean, it's certainly not worse, and even if it were to be the same for us, but better for you, Dave, when you're driving, it's probably worth it. (Although I tend to be somewhat green-conscious, so, well, you know... :D . Anyway, compared to any form of IRL, we're still incredibly green, aren't we? :))
From a spectator's perspective, what I really like about the RF2 is also the fact that the tow doesn't seem to be so strong here. Again, it's difficult to say if the car you were following in the first half of the race didn't simply have a much superior setup, but assuming that the cars were comparable in performance, it's nice to see the "suck" not being the ultimate trump-card, as it kind of seems to be in iRacing. When you watch IRL races it seems that the real-world "suck" is a thing, but that its strength isn't too big and, more importantly, that it operates only at really small following distances.
One last thing -- wow, aren't those RF2 BTCC Infinitis the easiest-handling RWD cars ever? :) I can't remember seeing a RWD racing car quite so happy to be driven slightly sideways on corner exits! I'm not sure if it's very realistic, but it sure looks fun! :)
maybe a video on how to set this up dave ? graphics settings downloading content as rf2 can be a nightmare too set up.
Good race Dave it looked fine to me. I do miss Jim.😆👍🇨🇦
Amazing race ! Very impressive
And quality of the video is absolutely perfect (but the focus as you said) :)
Hey Dave 2 things with the issues you had. When you unplug devices and use a different port rF2 had to reassign them. Sometimes this means you have to do your controller mappings again. Secondly the screen tear, check your freesync/gsync is turned on. I noticed the latest Windows update reset my monitor settings and power settings last night.
RFactor 2 has the scope for LFM to create something very much like iracing. The visuals and gameplay alone feel like iracing 2, had they ever upgraded their engine. With all the series's and mods available they could become very, VERY wealthy. RFactor 2 could even have it in them now to upgrade and work side by side with them. Let's keep giving LFM all the thanks in the world for the work they do. ACC was one thing but RF2 is another ball game altogether.
Nice racing Dave
Picture quality is amazing!
I've never tried rFactor due to my graphics card, however I've recently upgraded so might give this a go!
Michi Hoyer did some good tutorial videos on rF2, there's one on the settings as rF2 can be quite a CPU hog. ;)
@@colinettle4394 Funnily enough I went and bought it from CDKEYS right after watching this. Had a few problems setting up my triples with my RX 6650 XT GPU, but got there in the end. Will hold out to see if the BTCC pack gets reduced in price.
@@footballgrandad,very nice mate,there is a chap on CZcams in the last 7 days,who said about the buying guide for rfactor may want to check it out as he mentioned the sale cheerd
Can you please make a video on your Rfactor 2 force feed back settings and graphic settings. thx
The bmw m4 is amazing!
I told you so, Dave!
This is great Dave, how did you make this game looking so good?
Did you try out that HUD i sent you @Dave Cam?
I haven't run much rF2 for a while now, but it has some of the bests in sim racing i reckon, probably the best Nord 24hr layout, the best Lemans, an awesome version of Spa, some of the best old F1 cars, it is quite fantastic really...
This looks fantastic. Just getting my new PC and GPU sorted and I’ll be in.
I’ll hopefully pick up the content in upcoming sales so that I’m ready. However, looking at the RFactor content store it’s a bit of mess. Multiple packs with overlapping content makes it difficult to know which to buy. To participate do you need all the BTCC cars or only the one you are driving? Any recommendations which packs to buy to cover the necessary content? Thanks
I hear the in game store is a little better but as I say my PC is kaput so I’m using the RFactor 2 steam store which is a bit clunky and confusing as to which packs to get - any suggestions please? Cheers
What sources have you used to become a better driver i.e. YT channels, web sites? What kind of cars did you use as a beginner to cement the basics and build muscle memory? Thanks
Thanks for the vid!👍 To answer your question at the start of the video, the quality is fantastic on my end, minus the aforementioned screen tearing.
The payed tracks on Rfactor2 are top notch, glad I got them👌 have you tried the old mini Dave, it’s a blast. Oh how’d you fix tearing?
I've had a little go in the mini but not raced it yet. The tearing was a monitor resolution setting in Windows 👍
Why "wrong focus"? The ad in the back is in pristine focus ;-)
Great racing as always.
I thought they do have tire wear in iRacing? Or is this just racing series more laps than typical iRacing series?
It's been some 4 years since I uninstalled rf2, but I really liked the tires and I'm finding the graphics beautiful, I'm going to reinstall
Thanks for showing the 'alternatives' some love... I'm definitely not an iRacing fan
I am curious re the quality of the RF2 graphics in your video. Looks excellent. Is this what it looks like or is the post processing you have done to your video
No post processing done at all. This is it 👍
Another great video Dave. What's the exact name of the traction channel you refer to?
TraxionGG 👍
Thanks Dave
Who is hosting these races and do you have a link?
hello. hows the ffb compared to acc? i play in a t150 which i like in acc, but rly dislike in ac. thats why i ask
I’ve been wanting to use my older PC as a recording/streaming dedicated PC but it seems like a nightmare. Was it a pain to set up?
Nope very straight forward 👍
Most fun I've had in the sim ever! But I'm also addicted to road America. I don't have enough time
Do you using any filter or reshade? This graphic settings is my type.
Nope, nothing at all 👍
Nicely done, that the standard overlay or third party ?
This is just the standard one 👍
Excellent race, Dave! Thanks for sharing. You mentioned that you address the screen-tearing by capping frame rates. Do you do that in-game, or through Nvidia?
It was an issue with the capture card. All sorted now 👍
I would usually do it in game 👍
@@davecamm Excellent. I have been struggling with this in RF2 also, and will try capping in game. Thanks for the prompt response, Dave.
Have you adjusted the .ini file for the forcefeedback, or are most people running it stock nowadays? Last time i checked rfactor2 out the stock file had some pretty weird settings, and some parts felt off on simucube 2.
Yep, out of the box 👍
@@davecamm awesome, thanks for the answer dave! 👏 looks great, does it feel like that too? Rfactor2 could become the better iracing, if they sort out the bugs.
@@patrickdurka6188 it feels great tbh. I've not really played rf2 a great deal but it's such a refreshing change 👍
For Crew Chief, did you remember reinstall the plugin dll to the rFactor folder after you uninstalled?
Yep, that was my issue. 😁
Hi Dave, do you use Real Head Motion? Rf2 feels awesome except for how the camera shakes violently on the bumps! How did you get rid of it?
In the graphics options it's lock to horizon or something similar. I have mine set to high 👍
@@davecamm thank you!
GG Dave, great pace pal. I was on med like you, but unlike you I couldnt take care of them. Cheers
really hoping for more BTCC content when Q4 drops. its so much fun
I hope too, the BMW will be cool, the BTCC cars need another RWD car.
video looked good👍
Is the tyre model on iracing really so bad ?
nice one
Any idea and if they will be adding some evening time slot options for us USA guys? I'd like to give RF2/LFM it a proper try with the BTCC mod, but really don't want to fork out the cash for the mod if there no plans to add time slots when I can actually race, which is in the evenings Pacific Standard Time. ☹
Yeah I'm in CA and its been bleak for west coasters for a long time. I end up running a server with AI with a couple of friends due to the lack of online action.
uuuuh, nice job man
I bought the basic version of the game. I don't see the championship mode in the main menu and I don't have time trial?
Well rFactor 2 is my favourite sim… always has been … just knew how to use LFM I’ve signed up but not sure how you register for a race ? When I figure it out… I’ll be using my favourite sim against people rather than just battling the Ai .. it’s the only sim that truly feels like your on real tyres an you can push without it being stupidly set up reliant . Great race Dave sir.
The registration opens an hour or so before the race begins. So register, then when the session goes live the button on the bottom right will turn red and you can click that to join. ATM theynhaveba shirt Practice, Qualy, Warmup then Race.
Don't use any custom skins or you will be kicked from the server :)
@@danielfowler899 thanks my friend … I’ll definitely be making use of that then … registered a while ago with LFM when everyone was using it for ACC but never really figured it out … but now with rFactor 2 … how could I not jump on that train .. especially with the BTCC
This looks good, but is what youve spent buying the content worth it? Ive got rfactor 2 but not the 2022 content
I've spend £102. Well worth it for me 👍
Its brilliant isnt it, i love it in vr
What’s the standard like, the skill spread? I am only an average racer, a grid full of aliens is a time trial for me.
At the moment there is a good mix 👍
Love RF2, but graphics on my G2 look like they're from the '90's, is it my settings or the sim?
Of course it is. look into the forums, many help there.
Just admit it Dave, you just want to see more people modelling BTCC content. Wasn’t this race just run a week or two ago? I know I watched BTCC at Donington recently. Speaking of which, have you had your mustang to a track day yet?
Hello and thank you for your videos 👍, I need you for information about a SimRig triple screen floor stand I think you use this brand I have 3 Iiyama screens in 32 inch curved and I see that there are two models with Vesa 50/75/100/150/200 and the 50/75/100 and I don't know which one I need and whether to add other things if you can tell me which one I need and another question given that I am a bit limited in terms of space (width) is it possible to orient the screen from right and left more than 45 degrees say 60/70 degrees closer to me is it possible to orient them as we want . thank you I'm waiting for your return 👍👍
I tried the free download &/but I can’t figure out how to setup the wheel & pedals…
the Demo is a far far far far cry from the current build. If you want to save a buck, buy the key from one of the sites which sell them at extremely low price.
How's the netcode in rf2 compared to iRacing? As an Australian driver I've found iRacing to be the best on high ping but it's so expensive :/
Really good. I have t even noticed it so must be a good thing 👍
@@davecamm that's great to hear. Might have to give it a go then, thanks.
Looked really good. I might have to give it a go….
It's great Russ. Hope you're well mate 😁
@@davecamm Struggling with end of season blues 😂
Joining the others in the comments, graphics look great and hear rf2 ffb is brilliant, gonna give it a try. Nice one Dave
Awesome video. It would be great if we could see what ur doing with the feets!
Cant even get it to load on my PC when I gi to a track it says content unavailable and tries to load then says wait or exit game cant make it work at all!!!!!
Because of you I decided to give RF2 another chance. I have done this every 6 months or so for years. I play only in VR. It is still a buggy piece of crap in VR. Took a while just to change configuration with multiple crashes. I have tried to like RF2 but it just will not let me.
Do you happen to know why the AI during the race suddenly stops on the side of the track for no apparently reason? Is it because some of the cars are mods? Thank you.
do they have servers just for practice, or do you have to sign up for race?
Yes, they have a practice server 👍
@@davecamm does it have a passwords dave
@@Cagefighter you can only join via LFM 😁
@@davecamm ok cool, thanks for the very quick reply dave, top man!
nice race! q:
all btcc from rf2 are rwd?
no the btcc are fwd I believe.
Some cars are rwd Nd some are fwd
All cars but the Inifniti and the BMW (which isn't in the game as of now) are FWD. The two cars mentioned are RWD
I did the Ron Haslam race school here at donnington. I can recommend it. The man himself + Leon were actually instructing. My instructor had just finished 3rd in the superstock 1000cc a few days earlier.
I did that too in around 2005. Loved it 😁
You should do a race in LMP2 on RF2
What is it about rFactor that you haven't wanted to run any other sims?
Tyre models, ffb and the never ending super high quality of dlc and free steam workshop mods! It’s my favourite sim of all time by a long way and now at last we can race online! Every other sim feels bland if you do a session in RF2 and then immediately run a session in another sim.
How does it feel compared to iracing and acc?
Better 👍
the only thing for me with Rfactor2 is that you cant buy a single car to race the series you have to buy the entire pack, yes it may be cheaper then iracing in the long run but to drop nearly $70 dollars for the endurance pack plus the track is a bit steep, you can buy things over time.
Does anyone know how to fix side mirrors on this game? I know you can change the view with CTRL/ALT + arrow keys, but the side mirrors look as if they were zoomed in. 🤔
It would appear it's one of life's mysteries 😂
I've still to have a proper look. If I get it sorted I may may make a short video 👍
If i'm not mistakend, for your left-side mirror it's CTRL+arrow key direction, right-side mirror it's ALT+arrow key direction. For virtual mirror (inside your car) it's SHIFT+arrow key direction. Obviously this is whilst sat within your car on track.
Indeed.
Ctrl+arrow up/down or alt+ arrow up/down.
Center mirror or monitor, Shift+arrow up/down.
Note:
These settings are unique to each car livery.
So same car different livery, you have to set them up again.
Thanks guys, I know about these options, but even if I get these settings right, the mirrors seem to have some sort of zoom applied. But I'll try again tomorrow 🙂
Touring cars are the best in any sim!
Do you tweak the colour settings?
Not at all 👍
@@davecamm must be my Nvidia settings then
Is that the new wheel you was hiding last time?
Nope 😁
