Lol

If the car already has a turbo can it be upgraded to stage 2/3?

No extra turbos allowed.no stage 1,2,3!

 

[Hancock]

So r8 can't be upgraded even though it has stage1?

Tried all cars today. they are all very well matched. So far I've narrowed it down to gt40, r8, italia and mclaren. The gt40 is my favourite but need to do some more testing

No turbos and no superchargers all other mod are ok.
Don't anyone like the alfa?

I reckon it's very well balanced in terms of speed and handling 👍

Not outstanding in either department though, imo

Guys my G27 is busted Looks like it's back to the DFGT for me 🤬

Narrowed it down and still looking at 4 huh, not an easy choice is it!!??!!

 

[Gedi69]

It's only about a month old!

 

[Gedi69]

Has the R8 got a turbo has it

 

[V8-Johnboy]

Maybe i thought it was just the Mclaren and the Lotus??

Not even that, the problem is the centering, it's a common problem with G27's

Here's a video explaining it:

^ Think i will stick with the plastic fantastic DFGT.

Yeah it's so annoying, just brushed off my DFGT and god it feels flimsy, half the time I don't realize I'm on the brake I think if I can't claim on the warranty I'll get a Fanatec GT2 or something and use the G27's pedals 👍

You may be able to do that with G27/DFGT.

My mistake r8 doesn't have turbo, when I was testing in online mode there wasn't an option to buy stage 1 only 2/3 so I assumed it already had 1 fitted,

What are lap times looking like for tomorrow. I've hit a low 1:23 with similar setup from last race just altered transmission

I've just sold my dfgt, was good value for money but the peddles were awful. I've got the t500 now

Cheers Akmuq 👍

Agreed the pedals are absolute 🤬 G27's are such an improvement 👍

 

[VRracingfan]

Got my new Camaro with a new paint scheme. After watching Horizon on BBC I think it gives me an edge

That's crap Tom. I know how you feel with wheel problems as it took me 11 weeks to get a working DFGT.

On another note, i'm thinking of getting a laptop foe school work and U was hoping to get rfactor too. So do rfactor and other sims work on laptops? My price range is around £300 to £350.

 

[cunny17]

Don't know if it would make much of a difference in lap times but could you run with aero at some tracks (sacrifice a lttle bhp) and no aero at others.

Stu

Side note: think some rfactor mods need more grunt than others and rfactor2 is rumoured for later this year. Also you can turn down the graphics to get it to run smoother.

Well my Laptop only cost £300 and has 2GB of RAM, 250GB Hardrive, AMD M880G with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 Graphics Card, Windows 7 Home Premium and rFactor works great, you obviously can't run the graphics at full whack but it's pretty smooth when you tone it down a bit 👍

What make is it? Also, does rfactor support the DFGT?

 

[Gedi69]

S2 is up!

 

[cunny17]

Think Rfactor supports any wheel that works on pc. Is the DFGT usb.
