How about people posting some of their first impressions of rFactor 2? What do you like? What don't you like? What are the coolest new features?
Chris what is the problem with it? What are your PC specs? If rF2 doesn't work I reckon GTR3 will be similar issue. One of the things that we have found is try turning off AA - Anti aliasing.as that seems to make a huge hit in this version, you could also turn off HDR and also Real Road. AA you can get by with - HDR - well for now not needed, Real Road well you want to keep that going. See how that goes.Hm, I am very disappointed with rF2 . If I want it to run smoothly, it looks just like rFactor , very disappointing. iRacing runs smooth and looks great. I think I am more excited about GTR3 now than for rF2.
Well, the 60's F1 are basically untamed beasts... They have 420+hp in a 200hp chassis, super hard ply-bias tires, no wings or very basic ones... Add to that the tracks they were racing on and you have the recipe for huge balls...'K I've tried it a few times now & I've got a 2nd impression: I've pretty much stopped playing it
It's not that I don't like its promise.. but there's 2 things that's stopping me from loading it:
1/ The force feedback will wreck my expensive wheel; I've done the filter tweak, setting it to value 8, but that leaves the on-track feel a bit mushy & weak..
2/ I find most of the cars too difficult to drive (no aids) especially my personal favourites - the 60's F1 cars ..as soon as I put the power down they seem to torque-steer from one side of the track to the other - with me pathetically trying to correct it, lol
I just think the above difficulty/effect is a bit overdone & makes them too hard to "push on" with.. probably why I never got on with GPL ..worth mentioning I am a regular league racer & we only use auto-clutch, so not a complete noob, lol
Just my thoughts

I have a AMD Phenom "something, something" Black with 3.4 GHZ, 4 GB RAM (should i get more?) and a Radeon 5850 , running eyefinity at 4800x720 .
Details are medium and AA at 8x, and I am getting 20FPS. iRacing is at 84 FPS and I am running it pretty high details, looks 100 times better than rF2
Probably have something to do with your shadows setting. Think i read that having them set to none (or maybe low) create that problem. Problem FR modHas anyone else experienced this issue?
I have downloaded the Trainer car and it all worked fine, that is the only change from the default game, other than a few .ini wheel settings.
I tried the FR3.5 (for my sins) earlier and noticed that in the cockpit view the top cover over the monocoque forward of the cockpit was missing.
It was present in all other views apart from onboard? All I could see was my feet and a black outline of the bulkhead.
