New to rFactor 2

[Chris]

Hey guys!

My name's Chris and some of you may know me from the Assetto Corsa section of RD. After much fence sitting, I've finally taken the plunge into ISI territory and am looking to learn the ropes of rF2 (as there's a lot to it!) if some of you would be so gracious as to help me out? Yes, I still love Assetto Corsa and will still be organising weekly club races with it, however I thought I'd broaden my horizons and get stuck into some serious endurance racing (something that is not currently possible in AC) in rF2.

I've got the game mostly sorted, however there are a couple of areas that still confuse me...

Firstly, is there a way to increase the strength of the FFB coming through the wheel? Out of the box the FFB feels good, however a tad light. Is there a way to increase the strength of the FFB? I'm using a Thrustmaster T300 btw.

Secondly, what are some of the mods that you would recommend that I get? I see the Enduracers Porsche mod has been released so I've gotten that. I know the modding side of rF2 is vast in size, but if I could have a list of the best cars and tracks to get, that would be great

Finally, as the RDLMS will be taking place later on in 2016, I am looking to get an all-Australian team together to hopefully take it to the Northern Hemisphere chaps If you're interested (and Australian of course) then drop me a message

Looking forward to seeing you on track, and thanks in advance for helping out an ISI newb


Cheers and Merry Christmas!

Where do I find my TX nm whatever the fook nm means

NM means newton meters logitech has about 2.5 nm thrustmaster about 6 nm csw v2 about 7.5 nm it means how powerfull your wheel is ...hope that helps to explain

Ahh the old Newton Meters that's what I thought lol

I was just going by the comment posted above showing ISI said adjusting this doesn't make any difference. I'm new to rF2 so I'm still learning all this stuff. But like Galin says it feels more complete now, like the blanks have been filled in.

brandon also make sure your minimum is set to zero ...as logitech have .06 minimum. because they have a bad dead zone around the center

 

[Brandon Wright]

Newton Metres = torque don't remeber but I think it is around 6 for tx

I believe it's 5.5.

 

[JeffL]

I believe it's 5.5.

Sounds about right.

It does make some difference, wheel feels less sloppy. Do I need to change my minimum? it's 0.04 at the moment

 

[JeffL]

It think minimum should be at zero in my opinion so you can feel slip angle. .

Edit: .04 is pretty light though, "butterfly on feather" lol

How about for the G27, it advisable to increase from 2.5Nm?

if your g27 is rated at 2.5 nm which i think it is ...then NO

Hmm, had to try it, what the heck... but I don't feel a difference between the default of 2.5 and 6.0 (TX). I've never had a problem with the FFB in rF2, I've always liked the feedback - torque, bumps, slip, etc.. Maybe there's other variables at work here.

what strength do you have in your profiler as 65% = 100% that the wheel can deliver when in game is set to 100% if you have more than 65% you will be clipping....this is for t500 rs as that is the only tx that i have used ..

 

[Brandon Wright]

Does anyone know if this same setting is available in SCE? I always had problems getting some of the cars to work right on my T300 (haven't tried it on the CSW2 yet) and I wonder if changing this setting would have helped?

I'm not clipping, according to the app. I'm not one for very strong FFB so I know I don't have things set to strong. I have most every sim available and don't have FFB problems with any of them.
If this setting makes a difference for some, more power to them. I just don't feel the different and according to ISI I shouldn't anyway.

 

[Brandon Wright]

Do any of you CSW guys have the formula rim? When I use mine in rF2 with an open wheel car it rattles like a machine gun (loud metallic rattle) when I go over curbs. Is there a way to reduce that or is it just the way it is? If I add a bunch of smoothing it gets better but makes everything feel numb. With the CSL rim it doesn't happen, probably because it has a plastic cuff instead of a metal one.

Wish my friends played Rf2, I so want to get into this game but have no clue what i'm doing.
I can't even practice on my own without all these many different kind of cars on track at the same time
What I need is somewhere to join with TS
