Rules for the Race

1) At the start of the race, after you hear the spotter yell "green, green, green" you can pass on the right and before you get to the S/F bricks. Reason: to give drivers as much straightaway as possible to get settled before Turn 1.

2) On a restart, single file and no passing till after your complete Turn 2. We tried that tonight and it seems to help (as in "fewer yellow flags").

3) Penalty flags will need to be served from now on unless its that goofy longest line penalty, then alert the zebra and it will be cleared. All other penalties will be in effect.

4) If there is a crash with one lap to go, the race will be a run to the checkered flag before the Safety Car picks up the field. If there is a crash with two laps to go, there will be laps added so the race does not finish under yellow and the Safety Car will pick up the field. You will always get a lap at the end of the race.

Guess I'm gonna have to reinstall rF or spend more time troubleshooting.

Hasn't "felt" right since I tried getting realfeel installed and probably tweaked a few files I shouldn't have. Even if I remove the realfeel dll the FFB is garbage. Just haven't been too motivated to fix it.

If anyone has any suggestions, here's what's going on...

Right now, without the RealFeel FFB plugin, if I sit in the indy car in the pits, there's some FFB resistance to turning the wheels. Once I'm rolling I get nothing but a tiny ratcheting feel to the wheel - no real resistance, and certainly no centering, even up past 220mph. It does not feel in any way similar to when the wheel is unpowered or when FFB is disabled.

Can you tell me what Indy mod you are using? I am seeing Indy 09 and Indy 10 in the servers.

Thanks

We'll be racing the 2009 Dallara "IndyCar Series 2009 1.4"

I'm hoping to make this one; gotta run it by the wife first. I also have a VHR race on the 19th.

The Parassole ENSMA Team had already been spotted around Monthléry again ...

Count me in.

Col Kurtz / #6 / Penske

Will the races be Livestreamed? Practices too?

Weasel Keeper / #4 / Panther Racing

Mod is all loaded up and it's a fresh install of rFactor. Maybe I've grown accustomed to iRacing or maybe it's a setting somewhere. But my in cockpit view is bouncing around like crazy, it's like my virtual driver has no neck muscles. I've played with settings for display and I can't figure it out. The TV Cockpit view is solid, doesn't move, I would like to have that setting for the cockpit view. Any suggestions? I can get video tomorrow if need be.

In the 'rates' tab of the "Controls" settings, you have 'Head Movement' and 'Exaggerate Yaw' you can put down to 0 - that should help. There must be a setting in the Dallara_cams.cam file but can't recall which one ...
