rF2 NASCAR @ Watkins Glen - Mon 13th March 2023

[Jimlaad43]

NASCARs are most known for blasting around Ovals for hours on end, but every so oftenthey pretend to be real race cars and head to proper circuits. One of the best ones they go for is Watkins Glen, a high-speed track that's Clockwise! Be prepared for an exhillerating experience as you try to tame these monstrously heavy and powerful cars and be amazed at how agile they actually are in these corners.

Guy's i have than skin for the Edgar GT that is laying around, if anyone interested to use it just send me a pm and i'll give you a download link and install instructions

 

[Jimlaad43]

@Yves Larose you could come online and race it yourself

 

[GeekyDeaks]

Can you put me down as a tentative please @Jimlaad43? It looks like my Monday/Tuesday work rota is going to swap next week and I need an excuse to give rF2 a bit of TLC so I can get back to doing some BTCC again. This combo just reminds me so much of a time way back, hooking my mates PC to mine via a null modem and firing up Papyrus' Nascar..... I just have a really, really bizarre issue where the textures go all smeared after switching between sessions that I need to get to the bottom of.

 

[Yves Larose]

I'm a definite now. Haven't figured out what is causing the blurry textures (upgraded all drivers, also tried both steamVR and openXR, and also a wipe and reinstall of the game), but I have found that changing the camera fixes it, so a quick toggle of the onboard camera and Bob's my auntie's live in lover....

Wow that texture really is awful. No idea what caused it but glad you've found a not-so-taxing workaround!

One thing I haven't been poking around with so far is the WMR layer. Each eye has a wildly different image, so my money is on something stateful going a bit awry in the VR pipeline.

Turn off blur in the camera settings. It's been causing issues for people.

That was it! I had it on trackside only, but turning it off completely seems to have solved it. Cheers!
