    Both Sims are absolutely awesome!
    I honestly can't say which is my No. 1 anymore.
    I don't want to anymore either.
    And every decent Sim needs a lot of time at the beginning to vote, familiarize yourself and come in properly.
    It's definitely worth the time and effort.
    Regardless of whether it is RRRE or rF2.
    There are enough tips in the forums to fine-tune the corresponding Sim.
    Don't give up so easily.
    It's worth..

    True but one thing is getting to grips with driving and gameplay, another is fighting against basic loading issues and crashes and wasting time on workarounds just to get the thing to run. I know that the PC is not simple to develop a game for due to so many hardware and software variables - we can see how many people have issues running RRE so imagine with a moddable game like RF2. However, I just found the whole thing a shoddy, unpolished beta and a rip off even at half price, considering that you can get a modern finished game like ACC or AM2 (which both seem to have been patched pretty well) for just a little more and stuff like AC, PC 1 and2 or RRE Starter pack for less and still have change for a beer or some valium after trying RF2.

    That's the thing with RF2, once I've burnt the incense, drawn the pentagram, sacrificed the chicken and loaded in, it's ok. The FFB/driving is awesome, but everything that's not FFB/DE is poor..for example, we really do rely on top5secret to provide us with AIW that actually works; he's not on the payroll, he's a simmer.

    In general, I agree with what you're saying memeNo1, for example for 9-months I persevered and kept working on R3R until I had what I wanted, but to paraphrase Vale - it's one thing to get to grips with a sim's physics and game-play, and another thing to get the actual sim to load.

    It's a crude example I know, but imo if you put the FFB/DE from RF2 into any sim, and that sim would be better for it. By the same token, you could put everything else from any sim into RF2 and RF2 would be much better for it*.


    *Not sure what point I'm making there, but wanted to make it anyway :)

    Haha, yes it looks like that.
    Unfortunately we have to deal with that.
    It also annoys me a lot.
    I had to restart 1000x rF2 in the rain because of the AI.
    Yesterday the same with RRRE and the DTM 2020 at the Norisring.
    sucks, hopefully it will change soon.
    ACC is a no go for me.
    The VR support is absolute rubbish.
    AMS2 is good but still needs a lot of work in physics.

    Yes...there are a couple of issues physicswise. Just follow a car up the hill at Eau Rouge, it will oversteer very hefty in a spontaneous way.

    Time has gone when I thought rF2 physics is second to none. It's a legend.

    That sounds more like wrong setup/bad aero balance... The video above is more about the setup exploits and the result of that: Unrealistic driving style and setups :)

    But yea the thumbnail is a bit misleading ^^

    Yeah, I know. Already watched the video. It's a good one from Ermin. It prooves there are a lot if things not going as it (I believe) supposed to be.

    Nope. It's defective dirty air behaviour in rF2 (GT cars).

    I don't care, what Ermin might say, btw..this guy is selling a 1:58 as a "hacked setup hotlap"...oookay....lol. S397 even tried to "fix" the dirty air behaviour, which resulted in extreme slip streaming speed differences in a recent competition.

    Most of the flaws, he is pointing out, btw. are actually not rF2 specific, but content specific.

    Also, today I give a bit of my feedback of the last events around the SimR - genre in German.
    I hope for lively participation in the discussion!

    It is with great pleasure that I can present you an exclusive interview with Tommy78 today, where everything is about his new mod the DTM 1991!
    You should not miss it.
    In general, you shouldn't miss anything from my channel!

    Let's go into the third round!
    Today the Audi V8 Quattro will be asked to do everything at the Brands Hatch GP [LaserScanned]!
    Will I be able to perform with the heavy V8 four-wheel drive?
    Or will I be hopelessly outclassed by the BMW and Mercedes?

    WITH ENGLISH SUBS!!!

    In this little tutorial I'll show you how you can race in the rain in offline mode in future without the AI having to put on rain tyres after the first lap!

    That's pretty annoying, isn't it?
    That's history from now on! That's a promise!
