[Denis Betty]

sorry missed that, done now

Hi Sam.
You are doing the right thing fella.
You won't look back, I'm sure.
Look forward to seeing you on track.
I'll be sending everybody an invitation to a Discord channel which has been set up by one of the AC hosts. This will enable non-Premium members to join us in voice chat, so we'll all be invited to that.
For now, I'll invite you to a conversation which has the password to enter the race server in the opening post.

Cheers

I just want to let you know I changed my profile name to paul75 from paulsmartcars as I thought that was the changing name part but have got it wrong but have put it right.hope you understand what I have done

Don't let anybody put you off. Give it a try, keep an open mind and ask around (including here) if you have a question. Don't waste time doggedly trying to solve stuff yourself. That's my advice.

ok i'm in! i installed rF2 on my pc yesterday and got it up and running. serious rookie here, but i'll try to get some practice in before the big race.
thx.

excellent! yes, i noticed right away what ppl mean regarding the FFB, physics, car handling characteristics, etc with rF2. the driving experience has a good feel to it. looking forward to the race for sure.

couple of quick questions:
1. the steering in the Mazda feels a bit twitchy, and the wheel has a very short turning radius as compared to the other cars i tried driving. i notice that the wheel in the sim is not synchronized in terms of position when turning as my actual physical wheel. is that just the way it is or is there a way to adjust?
2. i subscribed to the Mazda on Steam. however, i notice there is also a Mazda spec Miata available for download here on RD. is there a difference? am i better off downloading / installing the Miata from RD?
all feedback is truly appreciated!

You will need the Spec Miata. It's on Steam. The subscribe page is linked in the OP of this thread. You should also subscibe to the track - also linked.
I don't have the virtual steering wheel turned on, so I'm not 100% sure how to synch rotation. As far as degrees of rotation goes, there is a checkbox somewhere in the settings to use the same rotaion as the mod uses by default.
Hang on, I'll check.

Edit: It's Range Set by Vehicle in the controller calibration menu.

That surely is a setting, as my two wheels are synced regardless of car. Cannot remember were right now. I'll come back to you if I figure it out!

It's called "RACEDEPARTMENT.COM MIATA", search for racedepartment and it should show up

hmmm not working... not sure why.

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

hmmm not working... not sure why.

That's a good question:

It's 2 at night here, if you or others haven't found a solution by the time I am home again tomorrow, I'll do a search myself on the possible issues.

Do you see servers if you don't enter anything into the search field/box?
Did you hit refresh?
