Will it be better than iRacing? | RF2 LFM Sportscar Series at Road America 

The super-fast "Corvette" was actually an LMP2 with a custom livery. Due to the way LFM servers are configured, custom liveries are allowed but not shared with others, so those who don't have them see a model of their own car. Boris is aware of the issue and until livery sharing is properly implemented within LFM, custom liveries will be disabled.

man these RF2 vids are making me wanna get back into rf2 after a year or so away from it. wait till you try driving in the rain dave, it's so much fun

Loving the video Dave :) There's loads of little tweaks you cam do to improve performance in rF2. Like, checking your graphics properties before you launch rF2. Have post effects NOT set to ultra. Lots of player.json tweaks like reducing pit lane detail. Takes a lot of googling >D

Thanks for the reply to the email Dave it helped a lot. After 3 years of getting into sim racing and seeing your videos on RF2, I went out on a limb to get RFactor2. I did not like the demo of it then and there were so many negatives about this title I just ignored it. However after seeing your last 3 posts I figured hey It can't be all that bad. And since Low Fuel Motor Sports has a great online meet for it, it just seemed a no brainer to give it a try. The RF2 menu system is no more complicated than AC with CSP and really after spending some time going through it was not all the difficult to set up. I spent most of the time on getting the sound bearable. Actually from a graphics point of view with my 1660Ti 4ghz laptop I maxed it all out and ran a grid of 35 and 4 classes CPU was 40% and the 6 gig Ti filled 4.5 gigs of ram 75% saturation 1080p on my 42" monitor 60 fps was a breeze for trying out a offline race and the CSL DD is wonderful. Now that I'm finally getting over long covid ( hopefully, rough at 63 ) I am really excited to give RF2 some quality time and so far like you said Dave it is really a blast. I noticed one other fella in the comments said " I told you so" LOL. I like it that devs of RF2 are updating it. The only hiccup that I have experienced is when messing with the sound I went down from 255 to the lowest setting and game crashed but no worries on that as I just left it at 255 in the end. I really think that RF2 and AMS2 for that matter should get rid of the road/wind noise so that we can hear the curbs and environment w/o all the NOISE or at least give us a way the turn it down or off, it is so annoying and irritating. Any way Dave thanks for the posts and it was nice to read all the other comments as well. SSSSh I got it at G2A for 6 bucks so I'm good spending some on the content and LFM. Got to love the pace car, the full course yellows, the flagmen and the track info lights a great immersion.

Great job for that P2, of course it's again Yuri Kasdropagear and disappear so a kinda P1 feeling haha. Nice vid as always, love your content dave

I'm SO impressed you managed to keep the car on the track, and hold on to that second. Job well done good sir 🙂

Yuri Kasdorp is no mug, Red Bull Racing Esports driver for the rFactor 2 platform no less in Le Mans Virtual Series. Keep up with him and you're among the fastest in the world.

Very nice driving Dave, congratulations on the podium!

Excellent content P2 was some result you can see you have been SIM racing for year's mega smooth and consistent and a couple of gd saves as well 👍

Smooth driving on that last 15 minutes, very nice!!

Well censored sections of a video and SIM racing are something I'd never thought could happen in a Dave Cam video. 😂 Good entertainment Dave as usual.

A very cool race! Nicely done, Dave! Congras! And yes, the UFO Corvette-thing did make my day :D. On the downside... Well, I didn't see anything particularly wrong with the sound of that Bentley from earlier video, but the engine noise of this Corvette was absolutely miserable. I mean, it sounded exactly like your generic vacuum cleaner!

Loving the LFM content!! I literally just finished watching your Green Hell LFM race (Nice P4 finish!!); and this popped into my queue. I'm definitely going to check out LFM and get started on my racing license/qualification. Great work, Dave!

love the multi class vids, hope to see more dave

I love multiclass racing, nice video Dave, i was wondering, could we maybe see a setting up RF2 video from you? i have RF2 but the menu is always giving me nightmares, so maybe some guide on how to setup for a quick race would be nice from you, if you're up for it of course.

That new "Mystery" *cough Thrustmaster DD wheel Cough* must have a bloody massive Pit Limiter button. That's twice in successive days you accidentally pushed it. Very smooth racing in the 2nd half conserving tyres, love rFactors tyre wear model. It makes you think about risk/reward. Push and pit, or slow and smooth to stretch out the tyres. Great work mate.

Dave, as for performance improvements, there's a few things you could try: Graphics Configuration - Sync Mode 'None', Post Effects 'High', Check GPU and Refresh Rate are correct (don't leave GPU at Auto) In Game Settings [Graphics] - Display FXAA 'Off', Graphics Shadow Blur 'Quality' In Game Settings [Sound] - lower the 'Number of effects' (for some people, me included, I can't run at 255, but around 70..100 is fine, plus I don't notice any difference) I'm sure there's more, but meh... Much Love

Hope to get on this once my f4 exploits are done. Just wanna get on the touring car madness. 🤣

Good stuff Dave. Always nice to see something different from iracing. Keep them coming.

After FINALLY getting Rf2 to work ( The menu would appear on my middle screen, but my cursor would have to be on the left one, so accuracy was rather difficult ) and doing some LFM I fell in love. I never could get used to ACC, the braking was too weird. But RF2 is going to be something I spend some time on.

Love the RF2 Content! Need LFM RF2 POV Uploads next :D , that's a lot of acronyms. Cheers!

Dave blurred his wheel so he can’t find pit limiter button.

Every time your going to post a RF2 video I am going to tell you: "I told you so, Dave!"

This is interesting. Learned from Chris Rogers his video about Rf2 and LFM. Do love to race multiclass against ai in rfactor. Have to give it a go. Not sure my laptop can handle it. Depending on number of opponents and track.

To improve the mirror quality you must edit the player.JSON file located in "rFactor 2\UserData\player". Set "Rearview Cull" to false, and "Rearview_Back_Clip" sets the render distance (in meters) Nice drive, love to see rf2 getting some love.

Love your RF2 videos Dave! I can see that the visuals are much better than iracing (imo), but could you please compare the actual driving feeling/experience with iracing, do you get a more "real world" driving feeling?

Keep up the good work.. blurred steering wheel ehh.. looking forward to the upcoming review 😀

I've not tried rFactor2 but that looked like a lot of fun!

I see you got the overlay sorted! Another good finish but why does the race creator love overcasts :D

Hey Dave, you should check if you're GPU limited or CPU limited. If you use MSI Afterburner with Rivatuner, you can open an ingame overlay and check your GPU utilization. It's also possible to just have MSI Afterburner running in the background and then check the GPU utilization curve after a race. If it's not 100% or very close to it, you're strongly CPU bottlenecked. It's possible that with a lot of cars about, the CPU gets taxed more in comparison to the GPU, but I have no experience with rF2, so I couldn't tell you :) If performance isn't desirable both in cases where GPU utilization is pegged at 99-100%, and cases where it's lower, then both the CPU and GPU are bottlenecking you.

Good race there Dave. I have noticed the last two videos where you had a major slide you weaved to get more track space too close to the turn in for the apex. Or am i going a little bit crazy?

Nice Dave. 47 mins of wondering what wheel you using! Appreciate the upload mate 😁

Your drive is very clean. Congrats

Letssssss gooooooo great race dave it’s been a while

Welcome to the RF2 fan club Dave :D

Great video but I do miss the “tv broadcast view” Picture in Picture in the top right like you used to do.

After your first RF2 LFM Video I installed RF2 after around 18 month again. And geez, I never saw any "public" Server with that much cars. Now I have to figure out how to build setups I think (I totally suck at that)

RF2 FFB and tire model has me sold, managed catch a wet race in the Alpine Series @ Matsusaka. I have a few little issues I need to look into, like the pedals not working when I jump into the car? exiting and re-entering the car fixes it? but its not going to stop me from playing more.

Good race Dave!

nice video Dave, but i have a question, is that a VPG Elemento wheel in the blurred rectangle?

Rfactor2 is such a good sim. Good to see it finally getting more out there thanks to LFM. what overlays are you using Dave?

It was fun to watch you run the gte cars. I have a server up at vir , would to run with you. Tpsr is the server name

Loving the new Rucksack DD

Hey Dave, could you advise on what would be the better cars to buy on rf2 since nowdays we have the oportunity to buy one car only and join full grids without having to buy all stuff. I love the free Bmw M4 from 397, and I wonder what eould be the best gt3 and btcc cars to have and master in time

Hello Dave, I am trying to figure out what to do. I have been racing on Iracing for several years, getting ready to spend some money but I am trying to decide which direction to go. I am considering upgrading my current pc which is running a good cpu and the RTX 2080ti. I am deciding between the nicer Vr headsets out today or a triple screen rig. First do I need to upgrade Gpu if I go triple monitors ? I want to be more competitive and part of that is knowing what's going on around me,don't like pushing a button to look so emersion seems to be the ticket. Also it might help in depth perception and hitting my marks more consistently. Sorry didn't mean to write a book just thought an answer to some of my questions would be very helpful so thanks in advance.

i can recomand simhub as an overlay. it´s hugely customably and has usefool app´s for every situation. Most intresting for multiclass racing are probably things like an usable relative.

You've gotta try out the 488 GTE soon!

@Dave Cam Hi Dave. Was it the race or the upload that was causing the frame drops. It doesn't look as smooth as your other videos.

Great Vid as always Dave! Been thinking about giving rFactor 2 a go see what its like and even give LFM a try as well. Think rFactor 2 is worth the money?

Do you recommend RF2 over iRacing? Having a hard time choosing, I want to race different cars instead of just gt3 for acc but looking for good online as well. I'd really like to do LMP and formula racing and well as touring racing.

Does the screen seem choppy? Any chance you've clicked off the main screen Dave? Rf2 will revert back to 30fps if you click on another window. If you hit Ctrl+F it brings up the fps as an overlay.

Can't seem to get like any FFB in this game for some reason.. I have a VRS DD and a GSI wheel and RF2 gives me like 2% FFB, if that. Nothing in turns, pretty much only as a i hit a wall. Any tips?

Just waiting for dlc to go on sale 👍🏾

First thing I noticed is the fact that the Turn 1 runoff area is correct! It bugs the hell out of me in iRacing how the outside curbing and runoff area in Turn 1 are not accurate. I've been fortunate enough to have done a few track days at Road America and you gain so much time by using all that extra pavement in real life that you can't get in iRacing because its grass.

Hi, which overlay do you use for pedal inputs? (Than one at the top of the screen with your name and a picture of a car on it). Thx!

Dave and rF2 😍

Hey Dave! What hud and overlays are you using?

Yes Dave I like it as well😊👍

What about car setups? Are there setup shops for RF2?

I have sat thru this entire race and it pisses me off that I don't have high speed internet. I am on my cell phone hot spot and I am pretty sure It's not good or stable enough to race on. I am dying to let one of the prototypes loose. They are so freakin' cool. Verizon guy told me that his coverage app showed coverage for my address but thats wireless and I am worried about packet loss etc. To think I had to put a 2nd phone line in my house back in 1998 to race on. We had to force our modems down to 9600 baud rate to stop the warping. Ah...... those were the days...... I miss all those dudes. We basically set the ground work for what became Iracing. Maybe sometime soon I will join the masses and fight my way out of the rookie classes. 14+ years online racing and I have to start from scratch..... kind of cool really, it will be interesting. Nice run D! Pretty smooth for talking through each lap. Peace

Love the new era of simracing where you dont need to sell a kidney to afford good online racing! Keep ut the rf2 content, loving it.

the flasher is a plugin for simhub you can use

Oh, come on, get that TinyPedal overlay!

Hey Dave, I recently got a powerful computer for the very first time after using an Xbox for many years. I played the AMS2 demo with my wheel and LOVED it. I will get into Iracing later once I get a better job but what titles are a must for right now?

What’s in your PC because I can’t see it linked anywhere in the description?

Did u have to add a mod to race at road america? How do get the road america track. I’m playing Rfactor 2 and I don’t see it.

Dave with the wheel blurred out, I see you're testing something special

That Vette dressed LMP2 was trippy, eh?

lol Yuri in his natural rf2 habitat

what overlays are these?

How did you activate the spotter??

That wheel has gotta be the Formula Pro Elite, no?

19:34 fastest corvette ever spotted

Love the RF2 content Dave, but why did you blur your wheel?

Hi, I'm having trouble getting this game to run smoothly. Could you tell us your video settings in game?

With the time lost because of tires dropping off, would a pit have made sense half way through?

Sounds like Yuri is smitten with RF2 too, judging by his Tweet today - "iRacing is done, the future is here."

Yes! 👊

Wich RF2 Hud do you use in the video?

Can you please show us how you set up the triples in rF2? I’m having a hard time setting them up

It's not E-L-O rating, but "Elo" rating, actually referring to it's inventor, Árpad Elo.

Rf2 is the only racing sim to elude me.

is it the new SimX your testing??? 😅🤪😝I might have guessed it!

Hi Dave. Curious about why your steering wheel is blurred? Thx

I Dave , i have problems with my Simcube 2 Pro on rf2; the steering angle ist not matching what my wheel does in real life. Can you tell me how to solve this ? A lot of people have this problem

Dave, how are the servers populated racing on LFM? The only thing that keeps me away from RF2 is the multiplayer, but I believe this could be the closest to iRacing once ACC only has the GT classes. Cheers!

Road America is great fun

I really miss real time tire data in iracing. not sure why they didnt implement that so far, it would be so much better for learning how to care about your tires. I know you can do a lot of training, but having realtime feedback would be so much better for beginners. Even if they would just provide it in practice sessions

If you have good settings for the CSL DD for this sim, I’d love to see them. I always hear about how great the FFB is with rF2 but I can’t seem to get it to feel right. No curb feel, no front traction resistance. I’ve tried Fanatec recommended and some others on Reddit. This sim just feels weird to me, almost like the FFB is reacting opposite of what it should be. Please share! 🙏

new here Why is the wheel blurred? Was curious

Will it blend? That is the question.

my condolences on your blurry wheel. You should check your drivers

Why's the wheel blurred?

Can't understand ur english accent very much, is it Australian english? 🤔 Anyway, subscribed to ur channel coz finally a sim driver that actually look like me with this bald head 😆 greetings mate 👍

Hi Dave, Could you make a video on Rfactor 2 graphic settings etc?

Why the heck is the wheel blurred?

How does rF2 content work? Do I have to buy an entire endurance pack to race in events such as this, or only the car I intend to drive?

So the Corvette LMP is a Daytona Prototype

Dave, why we cannot see your steering wheel ?

why is your wheel blurred out?
