This makes it nearly impossible to toggle between the game, and any instructions in the form of a video or a pdf or any other form of step-by-step instructions.
Right off the bat, I'm grappling with the fact that my copy of rFactor2 fills the whole screen, and I can't figure out how to get out of that mode. I would gladly hire someone to come to my house and literally take me by the hand through each step from launching the game to running laps in a Radical SR1 at AMP, but with Covid, I don't think that's going to be an option. I can't emphasize enough how very, very basic, intro-level, never-done-anything-remotely-like-this, step-by-step set of instructions I need. I watched the second video you cite, but the screens it walks through bear no resemblance to the ones in my copy of rFactor2. I have to admit to a mild sense of panic setting in, as I am completely lost, and I really need to get this sim up and running so I can have plenty of time to practice before attending the 3-day race school at Atlanta Motorsports Park in March. Thanks for the reply, and sorry for my slow response – been a busy week at work. Here are a few but youtube can be your friend here. There are a ton of good vids out there that can help you get strated. Think of traction control, abs, lights and wipers. Next, setup your wheel, pedals within the option menu and assign keys to what you need. First time you load the game all the content you have bought or subscribed to will be installed. All available content will be shown and you can subscribe to it. Just navigate to workshops, its located under the comunity tab, and search for Fractor2. Besides official contect there are a lot of Mods, content made by the community. You can find it on the same poage as where you buy the game, just scroll down a bit. You have a base game with some content and payed DLC's that you can buy through steam that give you more tracks and cars. Rfactor 2 is a payed game, think ther's a demo but that will be very limited. Depending on your windows version you have the 32 or 64 option.
Just install it and take a look, it's pretty easy even for new PC players. It has a lot of games but not all so it depends on what you want to play. Steam is a service where you can buy and download games through the steamstore, like the Playstation or Xbox store but then for PC. You are very new indeed o) Right, here we go I can't wait to get started, as I think it will help me tremendously to spend a couple of months virtually driving AMP in (hopefully) a virtual SR1 before taking the three-day class I need to complete before I can start competing in the series. Thanks in advance for the help, and for your patience. , how exactly to start driving on the track, etc.
But of course, right off the bat, I have several questions: So I've set the tuning parameters to the recommended values in the first thread of this forum, and am ready to download rFactor2 and start its setup procedure.
So my immediate goal with my sim is not online racing, but driver training, starting with familiarizing myself with Atlanta Motorsports Park So I'm ready to download my chosen game, which is rFactor2, because the track I'm going to physically race on in an arrive-and-drive series in Radical SR1's later this year (Atlanta Motorsports Park) is only available on rFactor2.
For those who have followed my posts on the General Discussions forum, I am VERY new to the sim world, and with a ton of help from this forum, I'm finally through all the steps of downloading the correct version of firmware, making sure I have the latest drivers for my components, calibrating the DD1 motor driver and performing the wheel center and manual pedal calibrations.
