For the RD 24hr Nordschleife 2012, we will be using simsync for all mandatory files needed for the series.
Many of you have used this software before, some have not. Here is a guide for all users:
1) Create a clean install of rFactor/rFactor Lite
2) Name the root folder "rFactor RD 24hr Nordschleife 2012"
3) Copy across any Userdata files that you need from a previous install of rFactor
e.g Controller files, PLR files etc......
4) Download the RD Simsync Pro Software
5) Extract the two files into your "rFactor RD 24hr Nordschleife 2012" folder
6) Run the Simsync Pro application and select the RD 24hr Nordschleife 2012 box and then click start
- If it asks you to update when opening, please select yes and allow the software to update
- If English is not your preferred language there is a choice of 8 other languages in the options tab.
- If you get an error, please click options>prefer main server>start
7) You will find the server password in the Password folder within your rFactor install, every time new files are added, you will be required to re-sync, I will change the server password every time there is new files released. Therefore recomend that you re-sync on a daily basis. All updates will be posted here to inform you of what has been added/changed.
[Download RD SimSync Pro.rar here]
Optional:
1) Remove all add-on plugins from your install. Having these plugins running will only increase your chances of getting a disconnection during a driver swap.
e.g Realfeel, Leo's, rFdynahud etc.......
The only exception I know is XD, it is up to you if you run it, however, it will only work for the driver starting the race, therefore there is little point in having it installed for the race.
I recommend using it for practice and then remove it on race day.
2) If you are having graphical issues, there are a number of things you can try to improve fps;
- Install wombats Nvidia FPS Fix, this will boost fps particularly for drivers running with an Nvidia card. Download it
here
- Make sure rFactor is running on all your CPU cores, to check, whilst running rFactor;
ALT-TAB and open up task manager
Select the processes tab
Right click on rFactor and select "Set Affinity"
Select "All Processors"
- If you want rFactor to run on all your CPU cores every time you start it;
make an rFactor shortcut on your desktop and name it "rFactor RD 24hr Nordschleife 2012"
Right click on the shortcut and select "Properties"
Select the "Shortcut" tab
You will see a text box called "Target" the text will look something like this: "D:\Games\rFactor RD 24hr Nordschleife 2012\rFactor.exe"
You need to add this to the end: +fullproc (including the space before the +)
It should now look similar to this: "D:\Games\rFactor RD 24hr Nordschleife 2012\rFactor.exe" +fullproc
PLEASE DO NOT RUN OPPONENT DETAIL ON FULL, IT WILL CAUSE RUN TIME ERRORS FOR YOU AND OTHER DRIVERS.
If you have any issues with the software please contact Remco de Wildt with a PM.
