Ok, I'm back in Didn't know you could have multiple installs

 

[Jim Liak]

I am guessing that it wise to not move to steam yet?

Steam version is always up to date, with no chance to downgrade. So no, I'd stick with the standalone for now.

 

[Kjell Eilertsen]

Online access restored, so I'm good on that bit, but the RD servers are still old version so I can't join em.

IMPORTANT!

From next week, when the servers have been updated to the latest build (Build 1028), it will be possible to race whether or not you have made the move to Steam. Unfortunately, due to the issues I raised yesterday, it will not be possible to join events this week if you have already activated your rF2 account on Steam. Apologies for the inconvenience. We shall work as quickly as possible to get the servers updated and running in time for next week's events.

 

[Kjell Eilertsen]

Will RD be running the Steam servers once available?

Probably not, at least for the time being, since it's only possible to have a single install as far as I am aware - this wouldn't be practical for setting up a week's worth of events. So even though Steam would simplify the update process and ensure that the install is always up-to-date, we will probably have to stick with the non-Steam version for the time being. That is of course unless I hear otherwise about multiple installs.

Either way, once we update the servers next week it should be possible for everyone, regardless of whether or not they have switched to Steam, to join events on the same server.

Here's the guide on how to set up multiple dedicated servers with the Steam version (if that's what you meant);

Can anyone give advice on pit strategy here? This would be my first rFactor race and I have no idea on how long tyres will survive etc. If you brim the tank will it go full distance?

Thanks

Do a few laps to work out fuel consumption.
Then divide the time by the expected lap time to get your completed laps. Add 1 lap.
Multiply consumption by laps.
Brimming the tank might mean excess fuel.

Tyres, it will be less than 23 laps.Check your pit stop time and decide if its faster to hurt your tyres and stop for new ones. It will depend a lot on how hard you are on tyres.( set up and driving style).
For me I would not stop.

 

[Ricardo Edelmann]

Yup! In!

Sorry dudes. DC'd on the 5th lap. Dipshit housemate decided to unplug router I think.

I thought something drastic must have happened for you to disappear like that, I think we would have had a good battle, you seemed quicker on the straights though

 

[Metzger82]

That was f*ckin awesome RF2 debut for me
