I'll wait on the 64bit exe until I know my plugins work with it. I don't want my Dashmeterpros becoming useless or my other plugins. It'll be nice, but I have only ever run into memory issues trying an old version of the BES mod at an old version of LeClair's Nords.
But it is a great step in the right direction!

Anyone else doing the CMS NARS series? Kinda excited about it as it will be my first rf2 league.

I'm considering it, much depends on how well my current PC does at the Le Mans race.

rF2 is not working for me guys...
Out of nowhere it stopped working, only changes from last week when it worked fine is a new CPU and triple screens.
It simply just won't start, I open the launcher but it won't give me the option to enter the Single Player, Online Race or Developer options. I already uninstalled and deleted everything and did a fresh install, don't know what else to do.
Here's how it looks like, the images just won't turn to color like they used to when the game is ready:
Help??
:-(

The writing's on the wall. I have totally lost patience with this game and with ISI. It occurred to me- wading through the multitudinous bugs and problems this POS game has that I'm fed up. Empty servers, small grids, BUGS EVERYWHERE and we are 2 1/2 years into it. There's no excuses anymore. I think it's time to jump ship. I could explain my frustrations but if you read the stuff around on rF2 and only believe half of it, you've heard about twice as much **** as I care to deal with. I want pCARS and I want to be done with rF2 for good.
This past week has just frustrated me so bad with this game. Pick any one of the dozens of gotchas and problems this game has and I have experienced it this week. And ISI doesn't care about the game- they are developing it to license and the gamers who struggle with it don't matter. Look at the wishlist thread and all the things we have asked for for 2 years now. They have delivered nothing. And also the clutch is a joke, it is such an integral part of the car, for them to ignore it is a game breaker itself.

I can understand your frustration, it takes a lot of patience at the moment. The way I look at it is that I have no choice. I've been using pCARS since it became open beta. Though I generally like it, it is no where near rFactor 2's potential. And talk about bugs...
Assetto Corsa will be fun, sadly Kunos decided to target gamers more than serious sim racers. The evidence is in the type of penalties they chose. Time will tell.
iRacing is not for me for a number of reasons.
That leaves only rFactor 2 as a "Full Flag" sim, best physics, best AI and FFB.
ISI is small, maybe that's bad, maybe that's great. rFactor 1 is/was incredible despite its flaws. I think rF2 will build on that and mature into the best all around sim, for fun, league racing as well as solo.
YES, it is frustrating, I for one love rF2 and have no choice but to be patient. Hang in there!
PS; Have you tried Race Department? They have fun and competitive series, so does CMS. Also, I really don't see why we can't try to get something going here. Surely there are enough of us that can meet at a server and have some fun. It is the Summer though...

No one is racing this game online, we can't even get a piece of the forum- we get a thread because no one is playing because rF2 is stillborn. We would not be able to get our own league going here.
CMS does have big grids and they have great racing- the community they have has been together a lot of years through a lot of sims. RD has some decent size grids but I have yet to have a good race over there, I have seen a lot of bad driving and cheating though. Same with ISR.

As soon as money permits I will have an rF2 server running for us. In fact I finished it last year, unfortunately the MB I had was acting up. I am transitioning work but I have been keeping an eye on buying a new MB. If I can pick one up cheap we are in business. Trouble is that is but one of the items on my list, I desperately need a new PC, new CPU and GPU at a minimum.

Can someone tell me why all of a sudden my custom skin looks fine in the garage but not on track? The skin looks striped and flipped. This issue also happened to me inrFactor1 a long time ago.
Update: I may have figured it out. It seems, for my system at least, if you set the "Player Detail" to High" vs "Full" the skin looks distorted.

x64 is not all that exciting. It will prevent the game from crashing on big tracks with big grids and that's it. The AI is not advanced enough to race against so racing against lots of AI offline is not feasible anyway. Online you'll never find enough people racing for big grids. x64 is a non-issue- it will not increase performance of the game.

Consistent File Formatting to replace ini
http://www.virtualr.net/rfactor-2-consistent-file-format-coming
"rFactor 2 – Consistent File Format Coming
Aside from adding new content and features to their rFactor 2 simulation, Image Space Incorporated is also working on the simulation’s foundation.
Adding to the on-going 64-bit version work, ISI has announced that rFactor 2 will switch to JSON file formats in upcoming builds :
ISI will be using JSON file formats in upcoming builds. This replaces, most notably for most users, INI file format. We will gradually move all files to a single format, and JSON is it, giving consistency for editing and usage across what are currently mixed filetypes.
Tools, APIs, Libraries are readily available on the Web to parse and manipulate, and many platforms and languages are supported. Most users will be able to make the same changes they did previously with INI files by simply opening the JSON file with notepad. However, as with the INI file it is important to understand the formatting to avoid issues. For example, here is an unpopulated line just to show formatting:
“”:””,
A populated line would look like:
“Lobby Chat Nickname”:”Tim Wheatley”,
A populated line with no data entry would look like:
“Lobby Chat Nickname”:””,
A ‘commented out’, information only line would look like:
“Lobby Chat Nickname#”:”Nickname shown in lobby chat”,
Information only lines with the # at the end of the first section, should not be edited, they exist to explain what the populated line (usually right above it) actually does.
All new ISI web services (and many other companies like Google, Microsoft, etc) use JSON for marshalling. Object nature for set operations (union, intersections, complements), using data, is much easier for varying application needs and precedents. For example, think if user has some setting configured, but a server has higher precedent for a setting, it can override the player setting much easier. Driver aid options, etc, will all be enforced easily."

The 92 mod looks like it is coming along well, but without a decent clutch model in the game, it won't ever be simulated right. You just cannot simulate any older series without the clutch- properly using the clutch is as important as using the other 2 pedals in cars that have it. But it is looking like ISI is not planning on ever implementing a clutch in the sim and they are hamstringing the potential for this sim for historical series.
The sim is only good for modern series with autoclutch.

What a fun and frustrating race. I loved it though.
rF2 is just the best in these kinds of events. Started 12th, after a series of disasters in the middle of the night, I managed to finish 12th. Unfortunately I had to launch a protest against another driver who intentionally cut me off, left me with a sour taste.
