1 What graphics are people with 1080ti using?
2 How to make the car shake less when driving
3 How to make the BMW M8 less understeery at Monza
Thanks

gtx 1080ti on triple monitor 5760x1080. 86 fps capped can run a lot more but no need to.

Thank you, I should have said I only have a single screen 34 " wide-screen . I have everything maxed but wondering if I need to as some things can make it look worse on the highest settings if that makes sense I turned down shadows because it made the rain look like glass.

2 How to make the car shake less when driving
Thanks

Go to options/controls then head vibration, I turned it off since it bothered me too.

Another question is there as a RF2 discord channel where people hang out? or is that for leagues etc. Also forgot, where do I put a setup that I've downloaded?

 

[Marcel Offermans]

@jimortality there is indeed a Discord server for rFactor 2: https://discord.gg/CruX93K
It is open for all users and questions.

Setups go in UserData\player\Settings where you will find a folder for every track (configuration). In that folder you can put your setups.

Thank you Marcel, you're very helpful.

And another question, If there is no ffb meter unless you roll back to dx9, how are you guys checking If your clipping? Are you just using your own experience on how you think it should feel?

 

[Denis Betty]

Or roll it back and check with a meter. Or ask somebody who has done this. Personally, I just turn down the multiplier for each car till it feels sensible. Works for me.

Yeah that's what I'm doing Denis cheers and while I've got you lol, the Brabham you're using on Thursday, is it a 5 speed manual gearbox? Just that google is telling me 6 speed?

Scratch that, I'm looking at 76 version doh!

Of course, rolling back to DX9 means then going back to DX11 for the race since the DX9 build is older and the game won't allow you to race on a server running a newer build.

The only way to check FFB for clipping currently is setting up the DAM plugin, record the data while racing, then analyze it using MoTeC software, make an adjustment, rinse and repeat until you're satisfied.

Absolutely terrible IMO. At least the latest DLC cars seem to have the FFB set consistently and more or less correctly so you don't clip.

OK here's my take on that - S397 inherited a game with plenty of faults. The change to DX11 has improved the graphics (obvs), but for the moment we cant use plugins which involve rendering images on screen (or something like that).
Everybody (including me) would like to see everything fixed yesterday, for free, and that's only natural I guess. But I personally don't think it's realistic. I guess there are just too many thing things to do and FFB clip has not made it to the top of the list yet. More content, update old content, new UI, etc, etc, etc.
Just my opinion of course.

(Edited out, sorry.)

 

[Denis Betty]

It's a perfectly reasonable request Martin. So is the new UI, more tracks, more historic content, better optimisation, updating old content and many others. It's also reasonable for S397 to have a need to produce DLC in order to pay staff and fund updates. I don't have the answer. I feel like S397 are walking a tightrope with this. For me personally, this is my sim of choice, so I really, really, really want it to succeed.
It's funny that we've hit upon FFB, because for me, it's the best of all the sims I've tried - by some distance. All I do is turn down the car specific multiplier until it feels good to me, and I'm overjoyed with the FFB. It trumps all comers (again, for me) hands down. So I personally can wait for a FFB meter. I'd rather see the UI ATM, just to quiet down some of rF2's detractors tbh.
Anyway, that's all I have to say. I'm sure you wanna reply to my points, but then I think maybe we should agree to differ, shake (virtual ) hands and move on.

I think that must be the most polite "I don't really care what you have to say, just don't say anything else" I've ever gotten from someone.

But fair enough, I will do as suggested. There's not much to respond to anyway, since you're basically saying you're mostly happy with how things are right now. And I'm certainly happy for you that rF2 meets your needs as completely as it seems to, I truly am.

Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude. I just didn't want to go off topic for too long. You make very good points. We have our own opinions... that's great as far as I'm concerned. I enjoy listening to your opinion.
