RD Le Mans Series Season 6 (rFactor 2)

[Frederic Schornstein]

No running with HDR off was like driving with daylight

Are you a cat?

 

[Simon Christmann]

For me with HDR it was only black. With luck you could see a curb.
And without HDR it was nice the drive

 

[Dennis]

I think it would be good to know t he planned race times, so we can test the HDR. By running an accelerated session from race start time to race finish time

Provisional virtual start times:
Silverstone: 14:00
Monza: 14:00
Sebring: 17:00
Spa-Francorchamps: 14:00

That way each race has at least ~1h driving in the dark

Let me know if there are problems with lighting/HDR

 

[Daiman Patel]

There will be updates on the serveral camera position, but there will be only in a final release of the car, so no more in between updates.

If you could let us know when you're about to update the resource that would be great, so that we can update the links in the league threads. Cheers Stefan - looking forward to driving the final version!

Firstly some extreme development and testing before that, so don't expect anything soon.

No worries. Don't rush - there's still 1 month until the first test race. If it's not done for the first race then we can introduce it as the "upgrade package" for the second race instead. On a slightly more serious note, it's better that you take your time and get it done properly, rather than rushing and making mistakes.

Except for Bahrain I had never a big issue with the lighting. When I have time on the weekend I try to run sessions that run the race time span with time acceleration and HDR automation.

Awesome! Be sure to let us know your findings.

I will! After last years desaster for us in Bahrain (driving with no visibility). I wanted to test it anyway

 

[Simon Christmann]

Maybe we can simulate the last 2 or 3 hours of the race in a practice or test session

Just to be sure. The darkness in Bahrain cost us a lot (running HDR off it was black)

Yeah it was pretty embarrassing watching back the live stream afterwards, looked like I was driving the game for the first time

Same here, I was driving around thinking "anyone here seen a race track?"

The Southern Cross Team have taken a photo op to capture the cars new livery while their drivers had lunch and debriefed.

Silverstone server is online!
All laps you complete on the server will count towards your 30 mandatory laps

Passwords and vMods can be found in this thread.

 

[Frederic Schornstein]

@Dennis Coufal Will there be a way to check how many laps you have done on the server (livetiming).

 

[Dennis]

We will update this post regularly

 

[Jari Vinnari]

Im looking for a drive. Im experienced "veteran" driver with at least average speed on a good day.
On a bad day I still bring the car to finish line and usually in one piece.
I have raced many leagues here in RD including V-WEC last year with the RPM team.
So please contact me if you need a driver.

Edit: Found a team.

 

[Sebastian Roehn]

Thanks for the heads up, that looks very useful indeed

You are welcome! I will announce in the next days version 1.2 with some bugfixes and improvements to modify easier the design of the html race report for your own style.

If you have already some serverlog.txt files of races in rFactor2 with the rejoin plugin, it would be great if you can share them.

I had never any problems with the visibility. Im just running the standard settings, no hdr profiles... and it looks realistic for me.

Last year we ran HDR off. With the correct HDR setting Bahrain was ok.
