Settings: Allows you to configure previously configured options, as well as to adjust steering wheel turning degrees, soften or harden force feedback, etc.Now the easiest thing is to go out on track! But this goes further, since rFactor 2 is configured by sections, divided into 3 sections: Settings, Standings and General. Depending on taste, it will be increased or decreased, as well as the FFB smoothing. Personally I recommend to deactivate it, since it bothers when driving. If there is the tick, it means that the game will assign the degrees of rotation that work best for the car. Just below, we find a symbol of an x or a well (a tick, to understand us). The first of these parameters is the degrees of rotation, assigning them next to the degrees of rotation. From there, you will find several parameters, such as: degrees of rotation, FFB multiplier, if the force gives it in a rough or smooth way, etc. Once you find yours, you load it and adjust the buttons to each one of your steering wheel, at free choice. Depending on the steering wheel you use, by clicking on the Load tab, the game has pre-assigned settings to each of the steering wheels. Now, let’s talk about the “Controls” tab. In the workshop there are several, and of high quality.
OnScreen Display: Allows you to select the HUD with which you will visualize the information.Controls: Allows you to assign the different actions to be able to go out to the track.Video: Selects the resolution at which the game will emit on your screen, as well as the refresh rate of the monitor and if VSync is activated or not.It adjusts to the power of the computer of each one. Graphics: Allows the graphic configuration of the game.Display: Selects options such as: visible cars, fixed or moving steering wheel, etc.Within “Options” several options are shown, but we will highlight: Display, Graphics, Video, Controls and HUD. Exit: You return to the initial launcher.Options: Shows a list of options, we will detail one by one below.Race: Once you have selected both car and track, it takes you to the track.Car: Select the car in which you want to compete.Track: Select the track where you want to race.Personally I recommend the All Cars & Tracks option, where you will have access to all the content you have downloaded. Content: Select the content you want to be shown to select.Once you are inside the game, you will see 6 options: Content, Track, Car, Race, Options and Exit. For now I don’t recommend it, since you need an expert level in the simulator to use it. The rest of the icons in the launcher are for mod creation/server creation. The icon just below is the single player mode, click on it and you will access the simulator as such. The next icon, which are “two helmets”, is the online mode, where people place their servers for you to access them, although we will leave that for another time. That’s it, you have now installed the specific tracks and cars you want to use. Inside the launcher, select the content (open box) and click on “Install” in the corresponding file, at the bottom left. If you want to install an external mod, you must go to the root folder of the game, for example: D:/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/rfactor2, and access the Packages folder, where you must leave the. Both are installed automatically by restarting the simulator. Note: It is recommended to access the simulator workshop to install the mods you want to use, in addition to the cars/circuits developed by Studio 397. The second icon, “ the open box”, indicates the contents you have installed inside the simulator. Right now you are in the main screen (“ house logo”), where you will find the latest news associated with the simulator, such as: competitions, new content or future updates (published once a month). Once inside the launcher, on the left side of the application, you will find a set of icons. A launcher that contains many options, but they are somewhat complicated to understand. You have just started the game, but you are not in the game menu, you are in the “launcher”. Let’s get started! I just started the game, and I’m in the menu, what do I do? Therefore, in this guide I will try to help you in those first steps when starting the simulator. It seems that you have just purchased rFactor 2, the simulator previously developed by ISI and recently acquired by the company Studio 397.
