rFactor wrinkles

Does this feel relevant to anyone with a Momo wheel?
I thought of Ben when I read that.

I'm used to it now, tank slappers are a bit hard to catch esp in rfactor but a bit of sawing at the wheel usually sorts it out

I'm having something very strange happening here. Normally when you leave the pits you get this voice saying "RealFeel enabled" right? Well I didn't get that anymore so I pressed the hotkey to change the FFB to see if it still worked. That started off the voice summing up the entire alphabet, first in alphabetical order, then in seemingly random order, and then she (it?) began to read endless pages of incoherent texts. She went on for about 10 - 15 minutes and then just stopped mid-sentence.

Has anyone had this happen before? I figure it's some sort of autocalibration setting for the voice, but I wonder what set it off. It still doesn't say "RealFeel enabled" upon leaving the pits, but I know it's still running.

In the RealFeelPlugin.ini does it say SpeechEnabled=True?
I wonder if pressing the hotkey started him reading the whole ini.
I thought I had most of the sheisse rFactor could sling at you but that's a new one on me!

Funny nonetheless

Would be pretty confusing if (s)he started reading random crap in the middle of a race.

It does say "SpeechEnabled=True", yes.

Well, I won't be pressing the hotkeys again, I think

:blink:

Maybe better place to ask for this is this thread at RFGRC forum.

Guy behind nickname TechAde is the creator of RealFeel, he would try to help you. There were some other guys with bizarre problems.

It seems I've got a little problem with rF in Windows 7. I just get a black screen :g: I want to try running it under directx 8 or even 7 but I have no idea where I can change that setting. Is there a file somewhere that contains this so I can change it?

Jamin · July 22, 2009, 08:13:50 PM

rFactor config.exe in the rFactor folder.

Gnomie · July 22, 2009, 08:20:56 PM

How about rFactor config? (it's an .exe file, with a shortcut on the start menu)

obsolum · July 22, 2009, 08:30:53 PM

Thanks, found it. Unfortunately it didn't solve my problem :sad: I get the same result both in dx8 & dx7 :g:

Looks like I won't be able to make Doorz' Friday Tour this week either :angry:

EDIT: alright, looks like this problem is bigger than just rF. I get the same problem with LFS and when I try nkP the game hangs when loading the file cars/F1600/shadow.nko. Which is odd because I played nkp just fine yesterday.

Well, looks like I've got some investigating to do. Bloody Windows 7... and it was looking so good, too!

Alright, I've found the culprit. Apparently this docking app that I use (ObjectDock Plus) causes my games to not work in Windows 7. I terminated it and all is well again. A pitty 'cause I really do like that little app. Didn't cause problems in Vista, either.

Phew!

Actually, I just changed it to =False. He was starting to get on my wick and I have very little wick left!
