Starter Guide to rFactor 2 with

[@edteach3r]

This is an excellent video… I keep coming back to it. If you have time, an updated version with the latest RF2 ui etc. would be much appreciated. 😊 Thanks, mate!

[@tt350zJason]

The AI setup alone is priceless ...thanks!

[@dylangreen346]

Finally on steam after years and years of PlayStation, looking forward to getting stuck into this!

[@edteach3r]

Awesome! The improvements are night and day. Thanks for this, Ermin.

[@OverTake_gg]

Happy to hear that!

[@canadian2fur532]

This is what I needed in my life! My god RF2 is soooo good but so frustrating!!!! Thanks so much. Next, how to make a custom championship........ please lol

[@CaseyM7]

Excellent! Rfactor2 is making big gains this year. Let’s see more content!

[@chadwilson9276]

Omg what a difference in regards to the AI, I have given up on iRacing with the insane cost and the lack of clean racing this is exactly what I have been looking for! Thank you so much, any idea on how to fix the occasional car glitch were the opponents cars will shake and surge forward? And sometime when I start a race my force feedback turns off randomly.

[@Scottphoto]

Thanks Ermin, this is awesome and has transformed my sim!!

[@phillipbeharall6271]

In a word brilliant thank you for sharing I've liked and subscribed 👏👏👏👏

[@tomwarner1939]

This video totally changed my rFactor 2 experience for the much better , thanks loads .

[@trevorscott4145]

Just re-discovered rFactor2 and have been struggling to set it up, which is why I gave it away in the first place. This gives me new hope of getting it to work right. Cheers. Oh, iRacing has lost the plot too many who just don't play nice anymore.

[@guygittins6934]

Just what I needed!! 🙌 thank you

[@acollsen]

The AI settings is awesome! Thank you.

[@adventuresofjandk]

Love it. Need more and more tutorials. Awesome work

[@rickthomas9894]

holy crap!!! Thanks for this!

[@nanwu33]

Great info, thx a lot! I’ve just discovered rfactor 2 for me.. what a masterpiece!

[@aogsimracing5663]

Just applied the AI changes to the player json, one word, AMAZING!

[@ringmasterblaze]

Fantastic video. I usually race on iRacing but decided to give this a try because of the fancy AI. Your settings are awesome!

Thanks for an excellent video. I`m looking to buy this game on Steam and play on a Windows 11 gaming laptop.

[@Strannix1979]

Thanks Ermin. That was useful.

[@RealStuntPanda]

A lot of people are saying the latest rF2 UI is so much better. I think they may have been smoking something because there's no way to add opponents to a race. Try this, start a practice race. It will say that there are no opponents and take you to the settings for the race BUT THERE'S NO WAY TO ADD OPPONENTS!

[@yanushkowalsky1402]

so what did you do?

[@84benfranklin]

always top content man :) thank you

[@vrj0]

Realy nice tips, especialy regarding the AI. One question: does the AI safe its learning per track or do I have to repeat it every time? Thank you!

[@therealjuralumin3416]

You're a legend, mate!

[@matissplays6122]

my menu looks so musch different than yours. what should i do? pls help!

My opponent section is empty there is nothing showing there. Help please

[@abuelb]

Only if the load time can be sped up this would be awesome. Sheesh! I can make breakfast and lunch every time this game loads up.

[@onealpha710]

Thanks, very helpful. Is the AI tweak still valid after the recent updates?

[@RandyMagruder]

What, changes would you make to player.json with the newest updates to rf2?

[@zebraafs]

superb guide!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@myk6694]

Good man thanks for that, as long as I've been playing it there's a few things here I didn't know of

[@sebastianzechariah1319]

i guess I'm pretty off topic but does anyone know a good website to stream new movies online ?

[@aprosimracing]

I follow the instructions to change the AI, but before and now the cars stop in track for no reason. Do you happen to know how I can fix it or this is only a problem with car mods? Thank you.

[@joshuadelorimier1619]

Thank you for this I really want to do some proper IMSA style racing and this is the best sim hopefully you pointed out all my issues with it but one question you have to set there when your done qualifying and physically wait for the AI? That seems ridiculous that the computer can't you can't go to the race. Excited to try this out as I just picked up the DPI cars.

[@Davmm96]

Honestly, i'm on my second day of owning Rfactor and I almost want to give up. First time I launch the game, I get no cars and tracks. Found out i'm suppose to download them in the workshop Then I accidently launch it in VR when I just wanted to change few settings and I close the game, this cause the whole game to validate its files and apparently redownload everything from the workshop. Cherry on top, there's apparently no good version of Laguna Seca...

[@zainhaider8362]

Great video as always. This is the first game where I have had to look up details about how the menus work and lots of things I was not aware of. Does show how in-depth RF2. I don't race with AI as I feel at the end of the day they just follow waypoints however some of those config file changes look interesting so will give it a go. Training your AI? Is this a thing? I have been just going straight into races. I will give this a go. It would be useful to have a dedicated video about online races, where to get the details and also the mods that each race has dependencies on. I have often not been able to join races due to base models not existing errors, whatever that means.

[@abiadairobbi8791]

Just bought the game and it really gave me a headache, the UI really different with the one in the video. I'm stick to AC

[@focussimulation7186]

Hi, are these config setting still relevant as of now (September 2022) as quite a few updates since then and some of the files are already set as you state? cheers for a really helpful video.

[@rosumin38]

Would you suggest that the car specific FFB still be reduced on lower powered wheels? I am running a Thrustmaster TMX.

[@jackson.2171]

I have a question. How does the Grille setting in the pit menu affect the car?

Hi. I came here looking for info on how to set cars to manual transmission only. Didn't find it here and can't find it in the game...... Any help?

Do you have to let the Ai train or anything or can you just jump into a race?

I set ai aggresion to 0.5 but when I go to the in-game settings it shows as 25. Not sure if this is right?

[@rupty6573]

Could someone maybe explain to me that thing with the visible Vehicles? So for example, I setup a Race with 20 cars but set the visible vehicles limit to 12, I'm only able to see 12, even though there are 20 on the track? Wouldn't this be a huge disadvantage since I would crash into them, because I'm not able to see them? Or how does this work?

[@anticommoncore4065]

It draws the 12 closest cars in front of you. The only issue you may have is if more than 12 cars pile up, and are stopped in front of you. It would still only draw the 12 closest cars to you, even if there were all 19(remember 1 of the 20 cars is your car) stopped. But if that scenario happens you'll have bigger issues than not seeing a couple cars. And every car that you pass by, it will draw an additional car in front of you , if needed, to replace the one you just passed.

[@powerboost72]

....gerade über steam im load. War es der größte Fehler????

[@Watchmetry-nn9xe]

never knew that about the ai, gonna have to reinstall.

[@marcw.5492]

Great ! got most things figured out - really thanks for AI manipulation in the JSON file. AI can be most problematic! Im wondering if anyone knows of a method or addon to allow search or identifying previously assigned buttons in the assignment menus ?? Really hard for me, am I missing something ? I notice MSFS 2020 and DCS and XPLANE all have tremendous tools for this, all of the Racing Sims I have used - AMS 1 AMS2 Rfactor Assetto Corsa have none except AC with a limited text search . . . Most are not even sorted alphabetically . Must be some method to add on or find buttons at a later time ??

I did that thing with the file editing and it deleted everything

[@ceeinfiniti1389]

For me the UI constantly breaks to the point where I have to restart my pc. I can't even get to the point of running the race I want, which is why I have uninstalled the game for good until it is fixed. (I'll probably be having my midlife crisis before that happens)

[@dante316a]

I had this game installed for over a year but decided to try it today, it lasted a solid hour after that and then unistalled it, could just not enjoy it, not because of the driving but i just didnt liked it and it had 1 car and 1 track, i have to buy everything else, really? Yeah i downloaded some mods, but still not worth the space on my hdd

[@arride4590]

Try Forza or Need for Speed.

[@sam3d]

I'm glad you didn't make it a requirement to download multiple mods, I think mods make it way too fkn unnecessarily and overly complicated. If you gotta Install a fkn shtload of mods to enjoy a game, you're spinning your wheels on the wrong mudd puddle. Nuff fkn said

[@testdirver]

wth with this "sim" cant select any car or track what if only want to do hotlaps and how in the hell calibrate pedals, cant setup my loadcell mod brake this its a BIG PILE OF cr... the game even exit properly and take ages to load a track in a fastest nvme drive steam finish first to check all files

rfactor 2 is still better, ACC limited content gets boring after awhile.GT cars all day and limited tracks is not the ticket.

Remember RF2 is a sim, others are games that are a bit realistic !!!!!!! Edit : If you want realism, you want a tyre road simulator, not lovely graphics ... learn how to setup a car and you'll get quicker ! Edit 2 : A single screen is s**t, you need triple or VR ! Remember, you only look at the next apex, and that is what gives you speed ! Still liked :-) RF2 rules
