The other issue I have with the mirrors is they are so dark my old eyes can't see anything even if they are aimed right.:blink:

It was night time!

Quote from: lovretta;276002I guess you want v-mirror because real mirrors are way off, and showing you how the road or sky behind you looks? Well, you can adjust them, holding RightSHIFT and keys you have mapped for Seat Up-Down-Fore-Aft.

Top tip. Ben tried to tell me the other night but I'd pressed my 'twit' button instead. :doh:

Not sure which thread to put this in but... is the server offline? I can't seem to find it :g:

Doorman · May 22, 2009, 07:00:13 PM

Just put it up. Sorry, was watching tv.

You are forgiven

rFactor keeps crashing upon loading the Spa Francorchamps track :g: Any ideas?

I think i had a prob with that one when extracting it as it was in the RAR.

The correct folder structure should be

Locations/F1_1988_C4/11_SpaFrancorchamps

Yeah, I figured that out yesterday. It was indeed in the wrong folder :doh:

Is there a way to change the "pit menu" default settings? Right now it's always set to change all tyres and add a full tank of fuel. If I have to make an unexpected pitstop for fuel - like last race :ranting2: - I just need a bit of fuel, so I have to keep pressing buttons to decrease the amount of fuel and keep the current tyres on the car, which is very distracting if you're still racing, obviously.

I know I can do it during the countdown before the lights go on but... isn't there a way to change it permanently? I want it set to do nothing

Doorman · May 29, 2009, 11:35:30 PM

The best I can find is:
Go to your obsolum.PLR file in UserData and look for these lines:

Relative Fuel Strategy="0" // Show how much fuel to ADD, rather than how much TOTAL fuel to fill the tank up to
Smart Pitcrew="1" // Pitcrew does things even if you mistakenly forgot to ask (one example is changing a damaged tire)
Automatic Pit Menu="4" // brings up pit menu automatically: 0=disabled, 1=upon pit ENTRY, change cockpit menu but do not bring up HUD, 2=pit ENTRY->cockpit & HUD, 3=pit REQUEST->cockpit menu only, 4=pit REQUEST->cockpit & HUD
Miscellaneous="0"

Hope that helps,

To look around further or "glance" left or right more, goto C:\Program Files\rFactor\UserData\yourplayername, open yourplayername.plr and find :

Glance Angle="0.75000" // Angle to look left/right (yaw) w/ controller in radians (= degrees / 57)

I changed it to Glance Angle="1.99000" and now I can look over my shoulders at who is overtaking me :thumb:

To get your fav upgrades on all cars so you don't have to select them when changing to a new car goto C:\Program Files\rFactor\UserData\yourplayername and backup then open HISTORIC GT.cch, look for a car you have set the upgrade on, in my case it's:

[VEHICLE]
ID=195
File="GAMEDATA\VEHICLES\HISTORIC GT\HISTORICAL FIA GT\GTC-65\PORSCHE 911S\2005\0515\0515.VEH"
Skin=""
MetersDriven=0
MoneySpent=55000
FreeVehicle=0
Seat=(10.000,10.000)
Mirror=(10.000,10.000)
UpgradeList:
STEERING LOCK=1,3,0
SHIFTER STYLE=3,9,0
LIGHTS PROJECTIONS TYPE=1,3,0

then do a find and replace* of

UpgradeList:

to

UpgradeList:
STEERING LOCK=1,3,0
SHIFTER STYLE=3,9,0
LIGHTS PROJECTIONS TYPE=1,3,0

It doesn't seem to cost anything either so you've got more to spend on speeding in the pitlane fines :thumb:

*notepad won't copy the line breaks so you will have to find an app that will, I used dreamweavers code view as it does.

Ahh cheers, this should help a lot with situational awareness and TrackIR.

I'm still not entirely sure about how the upgrades work, as far as controllers are concerned. I have a 3 pedal setup with a shifter and I want it as realistic as possible, so anyone know what should I use?

Edit, I also remember Todd mentioning some thing about virtual mirrors? Anyone know how to enable them? If I understood him that is.

Hmm, not really what I was looking for but the relative fuel strategy is a start. Thanks

Thanks, I'll try that one as well.

And that as well

If I'm not mistaken the default setting is the one you want, ie. 3 pedal setup with no auto-blip. I never change anything there.

That's also in your PLR file under Graphics

ahh nice one Ron and Obs :cheers:

Doorman · June 08, 2009, 12:02:21 AM

Here's another one from the .PLR file book of wrinkles. Look for 'Compressed textures' default is 1 stick a 0 in there and behold! I think it's the LFS equivalent of 'Use half textures'. In any event, it really sharpens things up.
