Good choice. I'm glad that you included the chicane footage when the guy had "taken you out"

rF2 is KING

[@EikeSky]

Been saying this for what feels like months now. RF2 has always been hamstrung by its lack of online support and UI. The UI is getting better, I mean, since 2018, it's night and day. And the online system, its just game-changing. It's fantastic to hear someone echoing my thoughts on all this. Cheers!

[@johnduncan5117]

You say months when you mean years ;). But it's great that it's finally here. It's a really solid base now for rf2 to grow into the de facto sim king it's always had the potential to be.

[@EikeSky]

@@johnduncan5117 oh no, I meant months of RF2 Online. I've been preaching the greatness of RF2 since I migrated from Project Cars 2 and the first gen Formula E's. After driving on those awful tyres, I was hooked. And when the 650S came to the game, well, I mean, how do you not love it?

[@johnduncan5117]

@@EikeSky I see ! Well I can say I've been playing rf2 for ages despite its shortcomings. I used to play AC. I actually agree with everything GM says about AC except when he says it handles better than rf2. It's also a great sim, especially using SRS for online and the patches and content manager etc. But rf2 is the most engaging driving feeling for me. It's personal choice at the end of the day though!

You are the reason I reinstalled this game. I tried it for about 10 minutes a couple years ago and it was just a pain so I uninstalled. I'm am an iracing fan boi so I get triggered by some of your comments lol. But after driving rf2, then iracing, then acc, I came to realize you are correct on the ffb. Iracing feels like poop compared to the other 2. But I want to race online and no one but I racing can figure out how to do it which is really just sad. This is a huge improvement and I'm willing to give it a go as the feels you get through the wheel is really nice. Thanks for the great video. Maybe someday you'll get me to reinstall ac1. But with 14 add-ons to download just for it not to suck and no one racing online I feel it's a waste of time for the experience I'm looking for. Lfm coming in to fix kunos lack of online development does not give me hope for ac2. Just my 2 cents.

[@danielfowler899]

The biggest difference for me with rF2 and iRacing is that in rF2 I can really feel what the car is doing and react to it. In iRacing, I have to know what the car will do before I do it - it's almost like driving from memory - and - as I have the memory of a goldfish that never ends well.

[@christheander371]

I Got 3 months of iracing membership to try it out before comitting for a two year period if i liked it. When Black friday appeared (14 days into my First signup to iracing) I asked if they would allow me to do two years on The new sign up deal. They refused. I honestly dont Think its resonable to expect people to sign up for a two year membership to a gane they never tried. Anyways im glad there are other options out there because as a result no cars or Tracks purchased on iracing and it made my decision to leave iracing for other options Easy.

[@danielfowler899]

Reporting - does work, people do get banned :D

[@ScalinoCorleone]

Yep with this move S397 and MG have brought RF2 to its full potential, with still a few hiccups to solve or add, and a "Career Ladder" thingy to activate "soon"... but for now at least the daily races and special events have been real treats. I just hope the upcoming "crowds" will keep the same spirit :) But boy, as I was watching your vid, I was remembering all that has been accomplished since Grand Prix 2 (was about 18yo at the time, dreaming of what it could become in my-then's future), I couldn't even have imagined that it could be looking like it looks today, even in this YT vid (with all the comp/decomp process required to stream it and all...). Besides, I never understood those who prefer to get some kind of blurry things on the sides of their screen (giving them only an illusion of speed), rather than the marvelous crispiness of rf2's 3D. With an I7/GF3060Ti/32GB RAM on 1440p of vertical resolution, I got every graphic option maxed out and it's flawless in terms of fluidity on the tracks (I mean even in the online competition system), and to my eyes at least, it's pretty much beautiful and above all realistic, in particular in the way it reacts to the differences in sunlight, the occlusions, dawn and dusk, the "night tracks", rainy days, "dream away..." :) Next step February 20th for Le Mans Ultimate! ;) Geee...! Between those 2 and the latest WRC on the rally front, and the upcoming seasons of IRL main motorsports, 2024/2025 are going to be some kind of pinnacle years or golden age of something... :)

[@RotTeufel87]

If motorsport games wants to attract and rise rF2 players, they need to heavily discount all rF2 cars, tracks and packs much more often like 2 years ago, not just some really spare ones. At least, bring back the 50% discount on all carpacks and trackpacks (on actual steam sales only GT3 carpack is 50% discounted). This could help their bad finances too. So far only the ex BTCC complete pack got a nice full price (8 cars, 4 tracks, 3 seasons), but let's be honest, if discounted by -25% now could be more appelling to potential buyers. And brick back rF2 demo, taken off on november 2022. From one side, i'll glad if motorsport games will be gone since they're only good on waste money (the indycar exclusive license was imho the top notch of stupidity, expecially when 2022 fiscal year was a disaster): this short term view has proved why they're on high risk waters with the recent second NASDAQ Notice of Delisting. from the other, i'll be sad for Studio397 wich is doing is job and it's not their fault if motorsport owners are bad...

Having said that I can see me spending more time racing RFactor2 now getting online races is far more simple.

My Only thing with the online is being Beginner Intermediate and Advanced series, would rather have your bronze series that all run every hour, Silver Series the same and a Gold Series, and maybe have fixed and Open in Silver and Gold. And a Schedule for the next 2/3 Weeks at least

[@nuztuz903]

a potential reason for the non fixed setups (for the gt's at least) is that there is quite a large pace disparity between cars on default. mainly the newer content being usually a couple of tenths to even a second with some cars. so for most races it would turn into a bmw m4 cup

[@aprosimracing]

rF2 has great physics. Unfortunately, it is very heavy on the PC, thus I gave up it. I have a Lenovo Legend 5 and run it with the lowest graphic settings, it stutters with AI. I hope won't do that in MP, if I give another try. Thanks for the video.

[@yanushkowalsky1402]

yeah very cpu heavy.

[@jamesleegte]

You have to remember there are a lot of us who enjoy hot lapping and creating set ups. There are lots of car series in the real world that have open set ups. At some point you need to step up and learn how to set up a car in a sim. I thoroughly enjoy racing against myself hotlapping and tuning and then competing against other peoples set up and racing skills and so do lots of other people. I’d argue against you and say I’d personally prefer that one of the rookie races should be open set up. Ultimately I agree and respect why rf2 rookies is fixed, then if you want to step up from rookies you need to stretch yourself and learn set ups!

[@GamerMuscleVideos]

It's not about me or anyone learning how to set up a car it's just a simple fact that fixed setup produces closer racing and close racing is the point of doing sprint races in the first place. Even for longer races having limited setup / mostly fixed set is going to produce closer racing. By all means have open set up for longer non sprint races leagues / special events though why not , for people that want it. But Setup skills literally turns into a game of trile and error and time at the higher level + knowledge of a specific sims exploits and often unrealistic broken aspect of physics.

[@jamesleegte]

@@GamerMuscleVideos conversely lots of people know how to set up cars and physics exploits from learning via hot lapping and learning from others. If you watch streams of top split racing with Michi the racing is close, because they all took the time to learn the hacks, they researched, they spent time on each track looking for that extra tenth and a lot of us love that as part of the game. Motorsport is competitive and if you want to compete at higher splits that’s the motivation to learn. If you aren’t motivated to learn, then that’s what rookie races are for and why splits exist. If you end up in a split where people have a set up and you don’t, that should be the motivation to learn. If you aren’t motivated to, then that’s on you. It would be cool if they introduce one intermediate fixed settings race each week to satisfy as many people as they can.

[@mitchpolifka9572]

I don't know if my brain just deleted all memories before the last iRacing patch, and I don't race that often (maybe once a week), but I feel like they've _almost_ fixed the overdriving/grass/spinning out issues. Feels like night and day to me anyway.

Great content Gamermuscle, enjoy your channel immensely. Question for you. Or perhaps an upcoming vid by you, as you don’t hold back, making your channel very REAL… But why, if VR players say it’s the cats meow, do we not see sim racing channels like yourself and countless others sim racing content creators using VR when playing the games…? It’s almost like it’s a paid advertisement from vr companies to content creators to push their new products, as it comes and goes like the weather… just curious on someone’s honest take on this…is it truly hype and gimmick, or truly a game changer…again I see you sim racers use them for a week tops when products come out, and then never hear or see them again…. Thanks buddy. Can’t wait to hear your take on this.

[@GamerMuscleVideos]

Because it looks bad on video / is wrong format for video. Like how fpv cam stuff looks bad unless filtered tons. Most KZbinrs will have a process for getting content recording game then moving that and editing it , VR just adds more steps and complexity that is only good for the VR player but not for person watching the video.

Had this happened 1 or 2 or 3 years ago I'd be all over this, but now I'm fully committed to iRacing and it's kinda hard to come back. Simply the smaller userbase will always be an hindrance in too many different ways, and I just had too many bad experiences with the little quirks of this game over time, even if it drives great. I also still think the HUD looks so ugly it actually stops me from wanting to race, as dumb as that sounds

Enjoyed watching your review! But considering the possibility to report people very easily and immediatedly - hence getting rid of acute anger -, together with the unknown process and consequencies, if there are any, to be a positive implementation of that feature is "fan boyish" ridiculous in my eyes..

[@GamerMuscleVideos]

I have no idea what you are trying to say. Being able to fast report people is great The developer then uses an algorithm that will make it easier to find people that consistently wreck races. A person with a ton of reports from different other people is more likely to be a wrecker. Once you see a person with way more reports than others you then check to see if they are wrecking and then take action.

[@TANGORACING]

​@@GamerMuscleVideos In theory I agree. But is this the developers description of the workflow and does it actually work? Or is it wishfull thinking of how it works, because it's so much easier to report people.. I agree that it's bothering to report people in iRacing, but I also think that there is a positive side to it. So people do have to be serious about reporting someone and not just basically click report in the heat of the moment.. And also it's proofen that reports in iRacing are indeed followed up by humans processing it and taking consequencies. If and how that works in rFactor yet has to be seen I think... I just have an issue with praising a feature which is completely unknown to actually work at all...

These monetization models that rely on buying tracks have to stop.

[@nismo97]

I like rF2's online system but I really wish there was less waiting time between races. 1 hour is quite a lot to wait for another race, imagining you just finished a race at :30 of the hour, you'd have to wait a full hour on top of that plus quali and 5 mins of practice for some reason before the race itself. I wish they created new sessions every 15 minutes and if not enough players were signed up you'd wait another 15. The problem I could see happening is that usually there are under 100 sign ups even with the 1 hour wait, so it's possible that quicker races could stagger the girds a bit too much and you'd end up racing the same people constantly, some car/track combos would possibly also have to constantly extend the wait. However, it's also possible that more people would start playing because sessions spawn more often. And I regret getting this far into the video, especially when Raceroom could learn a thing or two from these guys when it comes to ranked online structuring...

There is already a button mapping for flashing lights on rf2!

James West is Daniel Morad of rFactor 😆

Morad can actually drive and is sexy though.

When did it come out of beta?

[@devonallies5574]

think it was yesterday

I really regret getting that far in the video…

[@kapiteinknus]

Hi GM, rfactor 2 online is great! But where can we find the black friday deals? Nothing discounted at steam store as far as I can see.

[@happilyaverageracer]

Offical rfactor store

[@kapiteinknus]

@@happilyaverageracerMaybe I’m stupid but I can’t find it. Do you have a link?

[@maverickgoose2305]

I’d give it a go if I could actually get my steam version to start from launch!!

[@ZimmerZirwes]

Black screen? Solution a) waiting for a couple of minutes Solution b) go to the workshop and subscribe to one piece of content (or more, if you want to). In general, it's the steam workshop, that is preventing rF2 from starting the first time.

[@chuckwagon7354]

I got rFactor 2 last year and the full 2022 DLC pack. I'm now looking at the IMSA and WEC tracks, the Oreca LMP2 and maybe the Corvette GTE. Possibly the McLaren GT3 too. Considering I could get all that for around the same as a year's iRacing subscription I think it's the way to go. It looks like you're racing at Lime Rock here but I don't see that as one of the available tracks on rFActor 2?

[@marcosicolo4542]

Lime Rock is in RF2. Make sure to select all tracks and cars in the menu

[@alkallata80]

The track at Sebring is awesome! Recommended 💯

[@chuckwagon7354]

@@marcosicolo4542 I don't think it downloaded when I bought the game. I'll go back into Steam and see if it's queued somewhere. Thanks.

[@ScalinoCorleone]

@@alkallata80 Absolutely! And be sure to have a go in the Formula Renault 3.5 on it, it's a real blast!

[@ScalinoCorleone]

@@chuckwagon7354 I think Sebring must be bought on their store, it's a laser-scanned one. But you might find it in certain packs too.

Cooldown period on iracing is for people like me who report just because I’m mad lol

[@GamerMuscleVideos]

Everyone that plays iracing is mad , becuse they are playing iracing

[@LeoDavidson]

I regret nothing!

[@kingkai18]

at this point with rf2 making a huge comeback as a console player making a move to pc should i pick this up or acc?

[@yannisvanhaeken9530]

For acc you need a beefy pc to run it well. Rf2 is not that expensive for the base content to give it a go.

[@racingsimaddicts7563]

They are not really comparable games. ACC is a closed GT simulator only and rF2 is an open, moddable simulator with tons of free stuff (open wheel, GT, historics) on the Steam Workshop. That said, this new ranked multiplayer can use only official content either in the base game or DLC. There are community servers which are free to run whatever content they want.

I got to the end of the video and now have leprosy

[@zerobandwidth]

I got to the end of the video! 🧟

[@skylerdavis1701]

rFactor2? You mean the game that has an all time peak player count of 1,758? Which is less than the the concurrent player count if ACC? This feature is a decade to late.

[@tbricksable]

some people say this is an iracing killer XDD

[@labpong7562]

So peak player counts = sim quality......got it! I guess GT7 and Forza rule then.

[@skylerdavis1701]

@@labpong7562 statistically speaking if you want to find good racing regardless of timezone having a larger player count will increase the likelihood of that happening. Being from the US I can tell you that ACC struggles in this regard since that sim has a predominate European playerbase. By the time someone gets home from a normal day job the player activity is starting to drop.

[@advanceddarkness3]

@@skylerdavis1701 I feel your pain. Being an ACC player in the US its almost impossible to find a server with a ping under 100 with anyone playing. If I want to play online its with a

[@JaredPaul01]

Yeah 1700 people that know a good sim is when they play it and keep coming back, RF2 gets multiple splits all day long, you don't have to follow the popularity rat race to justify what you play

[@FilthyCasualRacing]

If cars aren't kickflipping over the track then why bother?

[@paulcrabb7167]

I really do regret getting this far… mainly because I watched the original stream 😊
