The common mistake made by a fraction of people is focusing solely on the numbers of cars and race tracks variety. Since it was first released, their overall aspects are more than good enough to be compared with elite simulators such as iRacing and Assetto Corsa.įor us, what sets them apart and makes them very realistic to drive in is their super intelligent AI that provides a realistic and competitive racing experience, even when you are racing offline! Variety of cars and tracks RFactor 2 is considered as one of the most underrated simulators that we feel deserves more popularity. When it comes to Assetto Corsa, you can expect each of those aspects to be on point.Īdditionally, other factors such as change of weather in the middle of your race will make driving in Assetto Corsa much more realistic. The overall realism of sim racing softwares comes down to a combination of multiple factors such as car handling, graphic quality, sound quality, and more. – Dirt on the car doesn’t clean as realistically as in Assetto Corsa How realistic is it to drive? – Lacks a career mode and lots of cars available to purchase – Not as many tracks available as Assetto Corsa (although this is being improved with the new releases) – Physically Based Rendering (PBR) that adds realism to the graphics. – Great dynamic tire model: you can feel like driving a real car. – Many different types of cars available to download (rFactor 2 is mostly used for sim racing championships, so lots of teams and drivers share their cars with the community) dynamic track, live telemetry, multiplayer options, etc) – Many features are customizable via plugins, allowing complete customization of the software (i.e. Now, let’s compare that to rFactor2 Pros: Here’s our in depth review about Assetto Corsa in case you were interested. car customization, weather conditions, etc) – Many features not included in the original version and need to be bought as DLCs (i.e. – Requires high end hardware to run properly (especially if you want to drive with 60+ fps) – Officially licensed by the most important Gt3 car manufacturers Cons: – Great graphics that give a realistic driving experience Looking to get faster in ACC?

Take the folder named 123abc (if you want to use that) and and make it like this: Rename the paths so that they match with what your paths are. In the mores track this is the MoresShort folder. This is unpacked into the 123abc folder as it contains the track dds file and the tdf fileį) now go into one of the config folders. So create a new folder under 123abc for each config and unpack each mas into its own folderĮ) using the mores track as an example you also then have a mas called mores.mas. Anims.mas goes into anims folder, gmt.mas goes into gmts folder and so forthĭ) you have some mas files left. In rf2 original folder the files are inside version number folder.Ĭ) unpack all those mas files into the same name folders. Create these folders in the 123abc folder and put them under correct sub folders: Assets, anis, gmts, maps. Name it 123abcī) check the file structure from the moddev joesville map. With cars it is very similar.Ī) create a folder in your locations folder for the track. I don't know about unpacking rfcmp files but if you have a mod car or track installed you can unpack the mas files into dev mode. With that you can right click a rfcmp file in your file explorer and you have the option there to "install to devmode".
