Don Red (Zracs) and Shutto1 have PC2. They have been doing a lot
of racing at night when I get home. I've heard them say decent
things about it but that there are a lot of Crash kiddies and
people generally learning how to drive. I imagine with the game
being so new a lot of people who have just discovered sim racing
are getting their feet wet with it.

Yeah online in Pcars 2 is a nightmare,too many xbox kids on
there I believe.And when someone rear ends you its twice as bad
as RF2,feele like a Semi hit you.There"s also join lag but when
I was on Simon"s server it was great.It"s a great sim,kinda
feels like a mix between RF2 and Iracing to me,glad I didn"t get
rid of it like I initally wanted to.

Yeah the online racing was like that with pCars 1 for a while,
but once it settled down, you end up starting to race with
people who recognized each other and any knobs soon got kicked
from the lobby. Also, due to it's popularity there where a lot
of great league to choose from, lots of special events too, so
always plenty to do.
I am now very nervous to get pCars 2 as I only really have time
for one sim, and as much as I really enjoy rF2 and this league I
fear it may just loose out, if the car physics and FFB and now
good enough, well pCars just has so much more to offer and I
just don't think Studio 397 will catch up.
When I look at the Studio 387 forum and to comments from the die
hards it saddens me. Times have change and whilst rF2 will
always have a good core group, they need to attract a much wider
and more diverse driver base, but I think they will be loosing a
lot to pCars as the 'good enough' reviews keep coming in. :(

Thrustmaster T 300 with Alcantara Ferrari wheel.Not high end
like Simons or Wyatts wheel but as good or even better than my
Fanatec CSR elite wheel
[/quote]
Scott, I have the same wheel, what Jack Spade file are you
using?
I have had PCars2 since the 22nd but just now downloaded the
Jack Spade files.
Need to give them a try, just wondering which one you preferred
generally?
Thanks,
Gerry

Hey Tech,
I"m not so sure RF2 will fall by the wayside because of Pcars2
just yet.They have alot of new cars coming really soon plus the
Rain effect which looks as good as Pcars2 Rain does I still
prefer RF2 for league racing.The graphics are next level
compared to RF2 and all the other Sim games out there right
now.It usually takes alot to piss me off but these online races
in Pcars 2 will get your blood boiling haha.Too bad more people
don"t have Pcars2 right now,Simon can host with his server and
we could run some test races.Come on Chris,you must be well off
living where u do,you can afford 60 bucks,it"s worth it ;D

and some extra ssd.

Matt,if you can run RF2 in DX11 u can run Pcars 2.Runs about
the same for me with almost everything maxed out except the sun
reflections and something else I dont like.I get in the 70"s to
80"s in Pcars 2

Lol, well its totally not about the money, its about time. I
don't have time to put into 2 sims, with all the practice, setup
work, etc that goes with it to be competitive. So, if I get
pCars 2 now, I will probably never open rf2 again :o.
rf2 has been around a long time and has a loyal following, but
imho that alone will not be enough for the new developer to make
it work. Pretty much everyone I know that switched to rf2 in
the past year will switch to pCars 2, meaning they will not be
buying future DLCs, etc.
There are a load of good leagues that will be running pCars 2,
but I too prefer the rf2 league scene on the whole. Plus there
are loads and loads of add ons that will pop up, that just add
to the cool factor of the game. For example they had this very
cool setup data base site
HTML http://projectcarssetups.eu/#/bycar,<br
/>which became a great resource to get a quick setup ( I
personally posted a lot of my setups their). So it just helps to
make the sim racing experience a lot better for people who
either don't enjoy setups or didn't have the time.
They are also looking to add driver swap functionality, so
honestly if I like the FFB they will get all of my sim time
because the game has way more to offer than rf2 will ever have
and it will be played by a lot more people, so bigger grids,
more multi-class races, etc.
What the rf2 crowd generally seem to not realize is just because
they take the 'realism' seriously this is still a game and
people who play it want to have fun and, if your in a league,
you want to be competitive. rF2 is generally a very unwelcoming
sim and I almost ditched it after my first couple of attempts.
I will be sad if it comes to this but like I said the developers
are moving to slowly given what's happening around them and
their just isn't enough detail or solidity to the time line for
their updates. As much as the 'real' sim racer slagged off
pCars1, it was actually a very good game, just missing the FFB
and physics, kinda important for a sim. The sad part is that
most of the other 'real' sims are still not even up to pCars 1
standards in all other aspects and that game is now 2 1/2 years
old. It really is just not good enough, so I fear rf2 will stay
in its niche, with less and less leagues, smaller and smaller
grids, and leaving us all to wonder why a sim with the best FFB,
tire model and physics has only a had full of people playing it.

Scott, I have 12gt of free space in my main OS drive and 30 in
my other drive :s (I don't have too many games installed)
70-80 fps wouldn't be enough. I have a 144hz gaming monitor so I
aim 144fps. I haven't tried rf2 dx11 because dx11 doesn't
support plugins. With dx9 and almost full settings I reach
100-200 fps depending on track and cars.
