    Default rFactor 2 Stress Test/Fun Race #1 Meganes/Malaysia North Loop 1/23/2012

    In an effort to give everyone an opportunity to test their rFactor 2 install, ask questions, work together on tweaks, etc, we will be sponsoring a few test/fun races that will be very casual and in the spirit of having fun and testing the new sim together in an organized fashion. We had originally planned to run the rFactor 2 Meganes as an official fun series, but with some folks having issues with frame rates and performance we are going to continue with some more predictable fun races for now on Sunday nights and I will in the interim provide a few dates we can get together on selected various nights for some rFactor 2 fun as well.
    -----
    So, here is race #1, please come out and join us. This is not about heavy competition so much as it is about learning together

    That's part of it Glen, what we can do is help one another, compare graphic settings, etc.

    Did some laps there this afternoon -- took me a while to figure out the shortcut back to the front straight... I'll be there for sure to get some pointers because I am glacial in rF2 at the moment.

    Unfortunately, I won't be able to make this one ... Gotta be up at 5 EST the next morning.

    Since I can't attend I'll share one piece of info I picked up now. There are at least three settings - HDR, shadow blur, and wind/crowd motion that should result in changes to the shader code. RF2 should re-compile the shaders when you change any one of those, but that code is buggy. If you are changing those settings, turn all three off, exit all the way out of rF2, then come back in and go to race. Exit all the way out again, come back in, change one setting, go to race, and repeat until you've turned on whichever of the three you want. And if you're going to run HDR, turn it on before enabling the others. Keep in mind that having any of those options set on older GPUs will probably be a big performance hit.
