Yes Vale, you need to upgrade to latest version through the Steam launcher. Check the rfactor2 game update settings in Steam. Usually it updates when starting the game.

 

[krusti]

Yes same, in Steam's library, right-click on rFactor 2, properties and go in the Beta tab and select the build v1109 (dx9) or v1109-dx11-open-beta

 

[Valerio Vinassa]

Thank's guys i solved turning down at DX9

OMG...racing rig has been in storage for 2 years, never used rF2, never driven the Renault 3.5, never driven COTA before....have some work to do to get up to pace, but the first laps felt good.

Ok here's the situation: I've received conditional approval to schedule a 2 hour OOO (out of office) lunch on race days. Here's the condition: I'm a manufacturing engineer at a large electronics company with both customer and technical line support responsibilities. Any customer requirement (conference calls, site audits, etc) or production line issue that occurs on Race day takes priority. I usually have notice of customer contacts, however line issues have no schedule so may have to miss any given race without notice.

 

[krusti]

Sorry guys but i'll miss the next two races at COTA and Interlagos

 

[Blauweke]

I'll very likely have to miss COTA because my dad wants to give me copilot lessons(he doesn't like his current copilot i think)

There go my championship hopes

 

[Peter Decker]

What type of copilot duty are you up to? :O

Rallying copilot actually. Already made notes for a few stages today. It went alright, my dad has also 'only' driven one rally before so we're both still learning.
He's not driving this rally we're making notes for though, he just wants to train me as a copilot haha.

For the race though, we won't be doing any practice at night so i'll probably make it home in time. Just a matter of wether i feel prepared enough to race.

 

[David Turnbull]

if you cant race you could always come on and shout "left 3 over crest" at turn 1 and hopefully it will help us avoid any incidents

When I set up my racing rig I was having a lot of trouble braking. After a lot of debugging, it turns out the load cell in my Fanatec Clubsport pedals was going bad and I only got 1/2 brakes with the pedals fully depressed. Ordered new load cell that arrived today installed and verified operates properly.

So question: I know we don;t discuss times, but I only have tonight to practice, haven't driven in a couple of years, I don;t know the car or the track sooo.......could someone please toss an old Presto Dog a bone on what would a reasonable qual time and race pace would be? I don't want to be a danger to others on the track if I can;t get up to race pace tonight.

Can PM them to me if you want to keep them times out of the forum. Just want to make sure I'm safe.

Thanks....Bob

thats our live timing page bob it should help.

going by martins time (and hes usually around the fastest time setter during practises before race) then we are looking at 1.43.xxx in qualifying and id say roughly 1.44.xxx - 1.45.xxx for race pace.

as always though its not about how fast you can go but how safe you can be.

Ugh, I have woken up with a cold today. The way my nose is treating me at the moment and my head feels I will not be able to make it. I will see how it develops further.

 

[David Turnbull]

im the same johannes, had it for a few days now, body aching, head sore, nose running like usain bolt.

ill just need to man up though or the wife will laugh at me and give me the usual crap about man flu lol

 

[Kyran Parkin]

Ooh COTA... Might make an appearance later, if my internet behaves of course!

 

[Miguel Muñiz]

I retire from the championship due to lack of time to prepare the races.

Thanks @David Turnbull . Couldn't get up to race pace last night so layed out today. Will have to work hard work for next race to knock the rust off.... Any secret tips for these cars? boosts, DRS, forward phasers etc that I don't know about??
