Tried that, didn't make a scrap of difference. (and yes i also have the latest redist )

At first i thought it was the improved tracks so i imported them into 2010 and everything was perfect, then i thought it could be the new cockpit shader but it's not that either. I'm going to try importing the 2011 car models into 2010 and see what happens but there's something in there that's crippling my frame rate. With VHR2010 i can run everything on max and constantly get 250+. Even with half the settings turned down i'm lucky to hit 50 in 2011.

Well nuts. Okay, did you clean load it as a free-standing install? I did on both of mine that seemed to work. Because rFactor is registered I didn't have to register VHR 2011.

Aaaand, now apparently Dave is taking his ball and going home. As posted on Facebook:

VHR Stockcar closing it's doors:

I have had enough of the #%&*$# and whining about a motor sound....or the car drives to easy now... when I lowered the down force in the rear to 0....I guess you will have to find something to play for 2011, I will enjoy the mod playing it offline...time for to move on from the drama.


Edit - apparently he's upset that people are complaining about some of the things he's changed; some of us on FB are trying to talk him back down from "the ledge", so to speak. :P

Yes, I have both 2010 and 2011 as a separate install.

I sincerely hope Dave will reconsider. While (for me at the moment) this is more of a step backwards than forwards. There is no disputing the amount of work involved and the huge amount of pleasure we all gain (and will continue to gain) from his work. Teething troubles are all part and parcel of the development - and for me, working through them is all part of the process.

And when you consider we are essentially getting an entirely new game for free, it's pretty amazing. If anyone had said to me 12 months ago that i would feel this passionate about turning left, i would have thought they were nuts but without Dave's work (alongside a little encouragement from you guys) i would have missed out on a motor racing experience that i have come to love.

Here's hoping things will work out for the best.

[ Graphic Options ]
Broadcast Overlay="0"
Texture Detail="3"
Vertical FOV Angle="65" // 34=use default, otherwise is the FOV for attached cameras (horiz is calculated based on aspect ratio)
Rearview="1" // 0=Off, 1=Center and Side, 2=Center only, 3=Side only (virtual mirrors only, in-car mirrors are on/off)
Allow Rearview In Swingman="0"
Virtual Rearview In Cockpit="1"
Rearview Width="64.00000"
Rearview Height="14.00000"
Rearview Cull="1" // Whether to cull objects in the rearview based on visgroups in the SCN file
Seat Adjustment Aft="-0.00151"
Seat Adjustment Up="0.01840"
Mirror Adjustment Horizontal="0.00000"
Mirror Adjustment Vertical="0.00000"

Seat position is Forward 2, Up 18. I may try changing FOV, but 65 is what I had in rFactor and VHR 2010.

Blythe I was beating my head trying to figure this out. The planets must have aligned just right but here is how it ended. I copied the original d3d.dll that came with the mod back in, then I ran the config and made sure my shaders were set to auto. previously I had forced them to DX9 and it worked!

Why do people do this? If its too much heat then take a break but don't threaten closing down a site unless serious.
BTW, this damn popcorn stand closes tonight at midnight. I've had enough of this crap!
Nobody appreciates it so I'm closing this hellhole down! ENOUGH!!!!

Thank god for that. I'm fed up with this crappy place with a server that can't even last 10 minutes on a Daytona race

I think it was just shoddy administrating!

SEE! That's what I mean! 9 whole good minutes of Daytona racing till the server host blew up, and that's the thanks I get!
