We (through another league) have run URD. I really like their
content. I think one of the reasons we chose APEX was how it
handles and the variety of cars in the mod. URD has the downside
of being a paid mod so not every member had it at the time we
made our decision to go with APEX. I'm certainly not against
using it, but again it would require a strong desire from our
members to move away from APEX to it. That is why we need the
membership to speak up about decisions for the next series while
the planning is going on.

My TrackIR came in the UPS today. Very subtle effect, but nice.
I've been driving nothing but Silverstone for the longest time;
tonight with the APEX Mercedes, which was weird to me, and the
Porsche, which seemed very easy to drive.
I mentioned the EnduRacer mod, previously. Anyone care to
comment on that? I have driven the Flat 6 quite a bit. Very
difficult, but enjoyable.
Maybe tomorrow night I'll try some laps on the server.

I agree with you that the Apex Porsche (as well as Ferrari and
McLaren) are extremely easy to drive. You don't even need
assists in them.
The Camaro presents the biggest challenge (not surprising that
no one selected it). The other cars are a bit more difficult to
drive.
I have to disagree about the Flat 6 from Enduracers... that car
is not realistic. From the ridiculous slip angles it will allow
you to easily hold, to the downshift cheat, it just feels awful
to me. It looks so good though and the interior, exterior and
skins are such eye candy. But I care most about how a car feels,
and to me it feels wrong. Just my opinion though.

I should add that I have not tried version 2.0 of the flat 6...
they may have corrected the issues. version 1 felt wrong. I
don't see many leagues running it so maybe they didn't fix the
issues. I would be willing to run a race with it and give it a
fair re-try.

I have a feeling that version 2 of Flat 6 is not like the
previous one, Marketcrash. Granted, I'm inexperienced, but it
seems to me that holding ridiculous slip angles would make it
easy to drive. Apex Porsche is much easier for me.
Give it a try, and see what you think.

What would be authentic for the APEX cars? Paddle shifter, or
console mounted sequential?

Depends on the car. Many are flappy paddle, but the Z4 isnt.
Dont think the Camaro is either

I've been taking laps on the server this afternoon.
Just got an audio alert for all non essential personnel to leave
the grid.
Is there an SOP with rules and etiquette somewhere?
Thanks,
Tarheel Dan
P.S. Do people on the track talk to each other during practice
over headsets? I didn't wear one this afternoon.

That audio alert comes at start of race, it happens all the time
in RF2 and just adds immersion. Some of us use Teamspeak to
chat, so you have to install that. We chat only during practice.
On raceday there should be no chatting or messaging during quali
or race.
There is a section on rules in (i think) the vrc business
section. Shoild give the teamspeak info there too.

"Attention will all non essential personnel leave the grid now!"
Ah that's truly the awesome thing about RF2 8) No other sim has
that, none of them. ISI nailed it.
