Palm Beach and Atlanta Updated for rFactor 2

[Paul Jeffrey]

Two new tracks updated to DX11 "rain effects" in rFactor 2! Check out the full list of updated content released so far..

Following on from the recent December "Rain Effects" build update to rFactor 2, Studio 397 continue to steadily update all the official content of the title, getting the cars and tracks into shape for the new DX11 rain feature standards as the developers look to bring together the full official content roster into compatibility with what was a pretty sizable new build from late last year.

As part of the program of updates, the latest tracks to receive the full wet weather treatment have been both the Palm Beach and Atlanta Motorsports Park locations, both now fully compatible for the new rain effect features as they hit version 2.20 and 1.28 respectively.

I know these have been updated recently as well, but they were already updated to dx11 before, and now got some patches.

 

[Boby Kim]

New tracks?? They are not new!

 

[VirtuaIceMan]

Cool, the F1 cars got sorted out

 

[aka2k]

Hope they fix the smoke someday. Ugly is a understatement regarding it.

 

[ronniej]

Very happy that progress on this great sim continue, thanks Studio397!

*Don't use rain effects during my races though, but still would like to do a Lemans race with rain during one of these times.

Go to X:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\Installed\Locations & if you have the folders:

ISI_Atlanta & ISI_Palm Beach, then delete both these folders.

Does it even rain at Palm Beach in real life?

Lots. It's in South Florida. Next year, S397 will add hurricane simulation
