F4000 By Holden Mod is now released, but it's only at Race Factor. To get the mod you must get it from their teamspeak 3 server.

Here is the first night of release captured on video by DmXtReMe.

 
Guys, if you're like Mad and I and live in Australia/NZ/whatever, join up at racefactor. The racing there is incredible, the people are funny, and very open to beginner-level drivers.

I was happy with 5th last night, especially considering my car was underfuelled and the amount of times I was beached on the kerbs.
 
It was great racing over at Race Factor last night. Although, note to self. DON'T START A F4000 CAR IN 2ND GEAR!! I went from pole to 10th by turn 1 and made life very hard for myself...

EDIT: Round video by DmXtReMe

He makes good video's doesn't he...

I must tell him to show more of me though :lol:

I'm in the Lotus Racing car, by the way.
 
Ok, beeing a n00b to rfactor (tryed it at a friends some time ago) i need one advice:

how to configure the settings to the g25 ??
i google, find some text from ini files. Some say import the gtr settings,...

A quick but explicit tuto would help me a lot.
I heard about leoFFb beeing better than realfeel?? True??
thanks

NB: Does somebody knows about Rfactor2??
 
Look back a page, or two, Sharky (I think it was Sharky) helped someone else fix a problem they were having with the G25. As far as rF2 goes, very little is known about it right now... one of the only things I do know is that the WSGT2 mod went from being a mod for rF, to being a mod for rF2.
 
Latest Round Video of Australian Online LeMans Racing. Round 2 was held at Fuji Speedway 1993. supersonic88 took the overall win in the round.

 
Anyone know of any leagues I can join? Also, I'm having a server set up under the Gamers-Crib name for F1 1985 at Algarve, Kemora and Hockenheim 1999. I'm looking to put together an F1 compilation video from various eras.
 
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaagh so I decided to return to rFactor from a bit of a break to try and get the FFB "fixed"... and I got absolutely nowhere. The problem I'm (still) having is a complete lack of FFB about 30 degrees either side of the straight ahead - which is far far larger a zone than the G27's actual FFB deadspot, so I know it's not my wheel being stupid (besides, the wheel's FFB feels pretty good in LFS) - as well as the most perplexing FFB "effects" when I touch a kerb/run off track: the FFB will make the wheel shudder violently, almost as though the FFB motors start engaging, then rFactor tells them to disengage and go in the opposite direction. The end result is a *very* large vibration through my wheel and into my desk, where it makes everything on my desk that doesn't have substantial weight shake like crazy. This is the most frustrating part of my problem, the massive FFB deadzone is something I can deal with.

What I have tried so far in rF and what difference the changes made, if any:

  • low/medium/high/full FFB effects - makes no difference
  • varying degrees of FFB strength, higher (more negative, and < 0) settings make the shuddering worse, using -ve values close to 0 removes the violent shuddering but also nerfs every other aspect of the FFB
  • lower values for steering force in the FFB menu - nothing
  • steering damper saturation, nothing
  • steering damper, nothing
  • setting jolt magnitude to 0, nothing
  • steering/throttle/brake/rumble strip magnitude to 0, nothing
  • rumble strip pull factor to 0, nothing
  • setting the four vibe types to sine (in an attempt to smooth everything out), nothing
How hard can it be to either disable rumble strip/off-track FFB effects or get rFactor to apply the effects in a smooth manner, instead of on-off-on-off-on-off 20 times a second? :indiff:

I know it's nothing to do with my wheel itself, because FFB in LFS is fine, as is FFB in GT5P... this is driving (pun not intended) me up the bloody wall. I have an expensive racing wheel but can't use it in rFactor because the gMotor FFB system is FUBAR. :banghead:
 
This is probably a stupid question, but do you have real feel? I never used to feel FFB until I downloaded it.
That and setting the FFB to "Wheel" and -100% fixes my issues
 
I do have RealFeel, yes. Setting the FFB to -100% in rF makes everything three times worse. :grumpy:

I'm going to experiment in GTR2/GTRE, because it could either be a rFactor-specific problem or gMotor2-related...

edit: Race 07 (= GTR Evo) is a fair bit smoother, but still not perfect; I also tried TOCA RD3 to get a result from a completely different game engine - FFB in that was nice and smooth.

Click to expand...

If you go onto nogrip, and look in the misc files section of the rfactor downloads section, there should be a 'feels real to me G25' download, or similar. Download that, and follow the instructions to make it work.

Then, tell us if you're feeling the same thing. You might have screwed something in the controller values.

Other solutions involve reinstalling rfactor-but that's last resort.
 
After using that ini from nogrip and tweaking a couple of the values in the file (rumble strip freq mult, rumble strip pull and rumble strip update threshold) it feels much much better over rumble strips/grass. Buuuuuuuut... it's generated a new problem: immense steering oscillation at speed in the straight-ahead position! :lol: If I can work out how to solve that problem then I should be pretty much sorted (at last) :)
 
Maybe add a little deadzone in the rFactor controller GUI. Where you edit the sensitivity, there should be a tab at the bottom for deadzone.
 
Hi guys
I have a problem with rfactor demo disc that came with g25.
I'm not getting any FFB, downloaded latest software for g25 from logitech.
Please help, I'm new to PC gaming and so far nothing but troubles.
Thanks in advance

p.s.
same problem with RBR rally game
 
Have you actually activated the FFB in the game?

Sounds dumb but it happens sometimes.

Also check the power supply.
 
I just ordered rfactor and have tried the demo. WOW that is all I have to say. Also I have managed to fix my wheel not wanting to connect to my pc problem (by downloading the logitech software to allow me to do it :facepalm:)
 
Nope, I've been driving it since last night :)

Here is the site's link, here is a video I made:


I just got done running some laps with their 1975 F1 series (on the same site), very nice!

Try them, hope you enjoy!
 
When will the damn postman get out of bed and deliver my rfactor. I'm stuck with the lite and one car and one track untill then (hits head against wall repeatedly).


Edit: Voltaic can you send me the download link for the f1 1975 since it only gives me a page of images of the cars not a download and I can't navigate around the website because I don't speak whatever language they are speaking.



and also when I try to drive one of those group c leman cars youare talking about
above it just comes up saying error opening MAS file COMUN.MAS can you guys help.

tks luke

lbsf1, the links are in red and English in this page

Let me know, enjoy!

Edit: I missed the prototype question. There must be something improperly installed. Did you install v2.2? Try reinstalling v2.2 (de-install 2.1 if you used that one), I have made it a rule not to replace any of the existing files in any of the rFactor folders/sub-folders, every time I do I seem to have issues. Tip: if you like exporting replays, I have learned through others to remove all the music in the music folder of rFactor.
