Thanks for the info Daniel B)
Just need the Pc upgrade to run RF2
Ticked off the list so far
Win 7 ultimate 64-bit
New 500GB HDD (for dual boot system RF1 on Xp RF2 on win 7 ;)
So all I need now is a Geforce gtx 570/580 graphics card to cope with the extra power needed to run Rfactor2 :ohmy:

Hi Ash,
2 month ago I bought an 1GB ASUS GTX560 (950MHz). Much cheaper than 570/580. Working very well with full
graphics.
I chose it as well as it needs "only" 175 W instead of 225+ W of GTX570. Thus it runs without problems on my noname
420W 80%+ power supply. Taking over the existing power supply saved another 60-75 EUR.
Maybe it helps you in finding a cost effective decision.
Greetings
Thomas

Thanks Thomas & HaM.
Bought a new 750W power supply just after Xmas as my old 650W ps went bang, and I mean BANG with a huge flash of
light and that lovely Electrical burning smell :blink: I was lucky that no other components were damaged. The trouble I
have is my 24" monitor which runs a native resolution 1920x1200 on SLi with x2 8800GTS for Rfactor 1 and ISI

recommend running Rfactor 2 with the native screen resolution so other than taking the 32" bedroom lcd tv which runs @
1080i (1360x768) off the bedroom wall and sticking it on my desk :silly: I also tried RF2 with a spare 19" (1360x768)
monitor runs ok but it's just too small after a 24" monitor and running Rfactor @ 1920x1200 full settings anything else
just looks rubbish.So the SLi 8800GTS cards will have to go and I'll just have to sell the wife and get a newer more
powerful card.If anyone wants a low mileage, 45 year old wife (classic insurance) mine is up for sale ;)

Manually installing an rfmod is a lot easier than installing the BBB autoupdater and I'd rather not have to rename my
game folder for various reasons.
Can we just get a current link to the most recent mod BBB uses and do it our selves? The links provided above are from
an earlier build and do not work anymore.
Or better yet- allow us to d/l the mods direclty from the lobby servers. You guys are making this unnecessarily
complicated. Password the server and allow downloading from the lobby. The autoupdater is passe and not needed
anymore like it was with rF1.

Actually we don't have an real autoupdater for rFactor2 just yet, which would make life very easy.
As you stated the links in the first post of this thread are not updated anymore.

Instead we have a synchronisation-tool, which seems to work quite well with most users.
You can read something about it here: http://www.bockbierbude.de/content/view/518/258/lang,en/
As faderone mentioned the manual installation of some mods is quite complicated, so that many users have trouble with
that.
Maybe I'm overlooking something but I don't see, why you would have to rename your rF2-folder?!

So you have e.g. Megane_at_Sears_Point_RW, incorporating a track and a vmod referencing ISI base content. And then
an update for the base mod (megane) is released. Which is fine for users who were already "up to date" before. But
those trying to make a clean install have to do it this way: Install Megane v1.0, install Megane_at_Sears_Point_RW and
update it, install update Megane v1.0-1.1. If you accidently update the Megane before installing Sears Point you have
reached a dead end. ;) That's just one example how confusing the install process via mod manager can be.
Can we just get a current link to the most recent mod BBB uses and do it our selves? The links provided above are from

The download links will be removed as they are no longer needed.
Or better yet- allow us to d/l the mods direclty from the lobby servers. You guys are making this unnecessarily
complicated. Password the server and allow downloading from the lobby. The autoupdater is passe and not needed
anymore like it was with rF1.
Simply put: wrong
long version: If rfactor2 already offered the necessary features to make it work this way you would be right. Unfortunately
this not the case. ;) Rfactor2 server has http download features, but they are very limited and cannot be configured
properly. First of all, download size is limited to 100 MB. Also you cannot adjust the maximum download speed which will
cause people bouncing around on track due to high latencies as soon as there are many people downloading large
content. A ftp solution is necessary and I'm sure ( or at least I'm hoping for ...B) ) ISI is thinking about separating the
game server and file server functionalities.
Also the current download from a gameserver is limited to a single file, because ISI wants us to use this feature only for
vmods at the moment. If there is a special vmod needed to join a server you can download it from the lobby, but the
server won't upload the files referenced in it. So if the content referenced in a vmod is missing a box will pop-up showing
a list of mods/components already installed or missing. Time to manually download some files and start the modmanager. :) As an alternative, of course you can put all the files needed to join a server (mod(s), track(s) and vmod) into
another large mod which can be downloaded from the lobby. Pretty obvious that is not a practical solution... (redundant
files, server capacity)
So the sync tool is currently all we can offer. It has its flaws for our needs but that's still better than what ISI offers us right
now.

possible.
