Playing only in VR I can tell for sure rF2 is one of the best out there. Yes there is plenty of older content (old not bad) that doesn't look up to date any more. But the developer constantly releases new content that looks great.

The physics are the best, period.. You can feel driving a car, feel the suspension working, every bumb, just great..

VR + motion sim + rF2 = best sim experience to date

the only negative are the empty servers..

Es könnte so einfach sein, ist es aber nicht. Dieser kleine Songtext kommt mir jedes mal in den Sinn wenn ich RF2 Starte.

Die Sim als solches ist Mega, FFB = Großartig, Simulation von einfach allem = Großartig, Effekte / Wetter / Gripaufbau /Tag/Nacht.... = Großartig
Fahren gegen AI= schon sehr geil

jetzt das aber:
Online gegen andere = nur in einer Liga
Onlineshop = Katastrophe
sehen welchen Inhalt man besitzt = nicht einfach möglich
ich möchte einem Event Joinen kann aber nicht weil mir ein Fahrzeug fehlt welches ich nichtmal fahren will
ich möchte sehen welche DLC´s mir fehlen = mühseliges suchen im Store / Workshop
Leute das muss doch einfacher Gehen Ein Auto download gibt es doch schon teilweise wieso nicht auch mit workshop inhalt?
Wieso sehe ich nicht in der Bibliothek welche DLC ich besitze und welche nicht?
Das Ingame-UI gewöhnungsbedürftig aber da hat sich ja schon was getan.
wieso gibt es 2 GT3 Packs + einen Porsche GT3 DLC!!!
Bis zum nächsten Sale gibts hier keine Asche mehr von mir, selbst meine gekauften Reiza Packs + Gt3 packs werden mir nicht mehr angezeigt.. das ist sooo umständlich.

Obwohl nicht mehr die jüngste aller Simulationen noch immer gut!
Man findet eine Vielzahl an Cars und Tracks vor (danke an die diversen Modder!), sodass RF2 nicht so schnell langweilig wird!
Wer ein gutes Racing-Game mit unterschiedlichen Fahrzeugen (von diversen Cup-Rennen über die Formel E bis hin zur F1) sucht, ist mit RF2 gut bedient!

Grundsätzlich wirklich eine tolle Rennsimulation die mir sehr viel Spaß bereitet.
Das Fahrgefühl ist für mich das nachvollziehbarste und beste was ich bisher gespielt habe.
Die Grafik sieht bei neuem Content wirklich toll aus. Bei älteren Sachen ist das leider nicht so.

Größter Kritikpunkt ist für mich der Multiplayer. Kurz mal eine Lobby mit nen Kumpel aufmachen und los fahren?
Nein das geht nicht. Hat dein Kollege nicht alle Autos im Besitz, welche grade auf dem Server laufen, kann er nicht mit fahren. Das ist wirklich Schade. Da sind andere Genre-Vertreter deutlich besser aufgestellt. Ebenso wie ein fehlendes Ranking/Competition-System.

Also würde ich das Spiel einem Sim-Racer an Herz legen?
Ja, aufgrund der unheimlich guten Fahrphysik/FFB, aber man muss halt auch einige Komfort-Abstriche in Kauf nehmen.

Difficult decision. Bought the game, GTE pack and track pack. Visual / Performance in VR is not really good compared to PC2 / AMS2 / Raceroom / AC (OCed 3600x + 2070 super).
Sebring is basically undriveable, too bumpy in VR. The cars are really great. Physics and FFB is fantastic.
But it is not really enjoyable somehow. While I do not mind to spend on quality content, it feels a bit too expensive. The loading times are atrocious even with a very fast PCIe NVMe SSD!
Compared to other sims like Raceroom not worth it.

btw I have a Thrustmaster T500

rFactor 2 hat sich definitiv zu meiner Lieblings-Rennsimulation gemausert. Hier mal ein paar Vor- und Nachteile:

Vorteile:
+ Unglaublich gutes FFB, super Rückmeldung über das Lenkrad (für mein Gefühl das detailreichste im SimRacing)
+ sehr gute Fahrphysik generell, wie bei FFB
+ Große Modunterstützung, sowohl im Internet als auch im Steam Workshop sehr einfach zu installieren
+ bahnbrechendes Reifenmodell
+ Langstreckentauglich
+ starke KI (jedoch Achtung, vor allem bei Mod-Fahrzeugen und -Strecken nicht immer optimiert)

Mittel:
+/- Grafik ist sehr unterschiedlich, bei neuerem Content und einigen Mods auf aktuellem Niveau, bei älterem, lange nicht aktualisiertem Content und einigen Mods sehr unterdurchschnittlich
+/- Interface sehr funktional, manches eher kompliziert versteckt
+/- Grundspiel hat zwar viele verschiedene Strecken und Fahrzeugklassen, jedoch ist innerhalb der Klassen meist eine eher geringe Auswahl - die aber durch DLC-Inhalte und eben die Mods wiederum ergänzt wird

Nachteile:
- Allgemeiner technischer Zustand ist manchmal nervenaufreibend und kompliziert, kann so vor allem Neueinsteiger verschrecken
- Mit allen DLCs über die Steam-Inhalte etwas kompliziert und teuer
- Online ohne Ligabetrieb eher wenig los

rF2 hat definitiv seine Probleme, vor allem, wenn irgendetwas mal nicht richtig funktioniert kann man u. U. sehr lange nach dem Grund suchen (irgendeine zusätzliche Mod spinnt einfach rum bspw. und lässt einen die Autos nicht anzeigen, die auf dem Server sind). Aber alles in allem habe ich rF2 trotzdem lieben gelernt, einfach weil ich hier am allerbesten klar komme und durch die Rückmeldung im Lenkrad fast jede Bewegung des Fahrzeuges spüre, ein bisschen wie ein Popometer. Es hat schon seine Gründe, weshalb die rF2-Engine Grundlage a) bei vielen anderen Sims ist und b) auch von vielen Profi-Rennteams in Simulatoren genutzt wird.

Viel Spaß auf der Rennstrecke!
PS: Wer online fahren will, sollte mal bei Abgefahren! vorbeischauen ;-)

Alle paar Monate starte ich auch mal rFactor2 für eine kleine Ausfahrt. Doch jedes Mal endet es mit einer maßlosen Enttäuschung, da überhaupt nichts richtig funktioniert. Stattdessen verbringt man den Großteil der Zeit mit Fehlersuche und Behebung.

Ich habe mich lange mit einer Bewertung zurückgehalten, aber meine Geduld mit Produkt und Hersteller ist inzwischen am Ende. Daher ganz klar: Finder weg, das hier wird nichts mehr!

Stand 2021 ist rFactor2 mit deutlichem Abstand das insgesamt schlechteste Produkt auf dem Simulationsmarkt. Die Software wird weder die bereits existierenden Simulationen wie AC1, ACC oder iRacing, geschweige denn zukünftig erscheinende Titel jemals einholen... Vielmehr wurde rF2 von den genannten Simulationen bereits links und rechts überholt und abgehängt.

Das Spiel ist die absolute Katastrophe. Fundamentale Dinge wie Championship-Mode fehlen immer noch. Nicht jeder Spieler ist Softwareentwickler und selbst, wenn er es ist, dann hat er in den wenigsten Fällen Lust irgendwelche Foren zu durchsuchen lange Texte durchzustöbern, dann mit Excel-Tabelle, Log Analyzer und Scripten zeitaufwendige Verfahren anzuwenden, um die Ai-Spielernamen consistent zu halten und dadurch annähernd über Drittanbieter-Software einen Championship-Modus zu realisieren. Und die DLC-Preise sind genauso eine Frechheit. Ich bin es definitiv jetzt schon Leid überall lesen zu müssen, dass diese Spiel nicht mehr zeitgemäß ist und in absehbarer Zeit auch nicht werden wird. Und das Handling von Mods ist auch eine Katastrophe, weil es 3 unterschiedliche Verfahren gibt Mods zu installieren. Wenn man dann einige installiert hat, bekommt man einige auch nicht mehr deinstalliert, weil mehrere Mods voneinander abhängig sind. Abhilfe hat hier nur geschafft alle Mods zu deabonnieren und manuell Dateien und Verzeichnisse zu löschen. Die DLC-Preise sind extrem hoch. Ich denke an meinen obigen Ausführungen kann man erkennen, dass ich nicht der Typ bin PlayStation an Playstation aus. Um einiges einzustellen bin ich auch mal bereit, zu recherchieren. Aber ich habe bei diesem Spiel das Gefühl, dass ich Geld dafür zahlen musste, um die Arbeit der Entwickler von Studio 397 machen zu dürfen. Geheimtipp für euch Entwickler (weil ich beruflich auch aus dieser Richtung komme): Wesentliche Anforderungen der meisten Kunden an eine Software: 1.Intuitive Bedienbarkeit, 2. Überschaubare Preise, 3. Performance (Euer GT3-Pack führt zu einer wesentlich schlechteren Performance), 4. Rechtzeitiges Reagieren auf Change Requests anstatt immer nur Versprechungen, dass die Software irgendwann besser wird, 4. Gute Wartbarkeit der Software (hat auch Vorteile für die Entwickler). ...
Fazit: Trotz guter Fahrphysik definitiv kEINE Kaufempfehlung.

Not recommended (4h of playtime)

The drive Feeling is very unprecise. There is no career-mode, no Tutorial, no help how to edit Car-Setups or at least a Racing-Line for new tracks. Just single Events, single Sessions you can create and start but I don't even know how to make a pitstop, when I entered my first race...

Zugegeben, die Grafik ist größtenteils nicht vergleichbar mit Assetto Corsa Competizione, Project Cars 2 und Automobilista 2. Jetzt kommt das große Aber: Meiner Erfahrung nach hat diese Simulation die mit Abstand beste Fahrphysik und Force Feedback - zumindest kann ich das für GT3 und GTE Fahrzeugklassen sagen. Ich verwende ACC + AC mit CM und SOL-Mod, sowie R3E und iRacing und ich finde keines der Simulationen so authentisch wie diese. Wer also mit Abstrichen bei der Grafik, mit einer etwas eingestaubten Menüführung und mit teilweise langen Ladezeiten leben kann, dem empfehle ich rFactor 2 zu testen. Zudem wird die Simulation stetig weiter entwickelt, es kommen neue Fahrzeuge und Laser-gescannte Strecken hinzu.

Wer allerdings viel auf Public Servern unterwegs ist oder den Hotlap-Modus liebt, wird bei rFactor 2 etwas enttäuscht. Einen Hotlap-Modus gibt es (bisher) nicht, leider. Public Server haben erfahrungsgemäß deutlich weniger Fahrer, als beispielsweise ACC.

Ich finde rFactor 2 macht einfach mal Spaß, wenn man mal ein paar Runden in GT3 oder GTE Fahrzeugen fahren und eine hervorragende Fahrphysik genießen möchte. Oder man meldet sich in einer Liga an und kann dort aktiv in den Wettbewerb treten. Noch ein Tipp: Die Nordschleife von rFactor 2 ist meines Erachtens die beste Version unter allen Simulationen.

I will recommend this with the single condition that you use the new(Feb 29th, 2020) beta ui. This game reminds the user how much impact ui has on game play, and with the new update the game is fantastic. after getting the game, go to your steam library, right click the game, and then go into property. Then change the no beta to the public beta. The new ui is super easy to use, and does not make you want to die. do it.

I don't really need to mention game play, because you already know it is one of the best sims

Let's just put it this way:
Roaring down the highway, landscape goes past you, the engine is at a somewhat steady 7000RPM. It sounds like a mad dog, but in a serene way. Aggressive, yet soothing.
All you're experiencing is unprecedented sense of freedom. You're flying like a bird. Goosebumps all over your body.
This is what this software is all about. It's like being a child all over again.

Well, here's the story of my frustrating experience with r Factor 2 and here's why i regret spending my precious money on such an overrated product: After having played nearly 40 hours in r Factor 2+demo , downloaded 40 GB of mods , drove on nearly any circuit with any car available i decided to highlight some key areas where this game at best sucks.Before i continue, i have to inform the fanboys that i'm not delusional. r Factor 2 maybe still miles ahead of the competition in terms of realism , but that doesn't make it good.It just shows how bad the competition really is in the year 2020.So let's begin.
1.PHYSICS : I know what you will say.How can the biggest quality of this game be mentioned as negative? Well,the truth is that the base game is so poor in terms of content that it leaves the users with no other choice than to spice things up with mods from steam workshop, race department, i s r etc.What's the problem with mods you will ask? Well , mods are made by enthusiasts ,who are maybe good at programming but don't necessarily excel at understanding vehicle dynamics and driving techniques.That leads to cars that behave oddly at best and laughably at worst.Historic grand prix cars and karts are two examples i use to show that the programmers were probably under the influence of psychedelic mushrooms when making the mods.I also must add (and this is important) that although r Factor 2 simulates tires under and at-the-limit adequately ,it fails to simulate their behavior over it which in turn creates bad driving habits and bad muscle memory if you use it for race driving training.Finally the FFB feels completely unnatural in my Logitech DFGT at least

2.ONLINE. One of the key things i really wanted from a racing simulator like r Factor 2 was to experience fierce online competition in well known sanctioned races and championships that every car enthusiast loves.Some examples are: formula 1(new and historic),indycar ,le mans ,nascar ,dtm ,wtcc ,pikes peak ,goodwood and many others. Unfortunately i came to the realisation than not only r Factor 2 didn't include sanctioned-like races but the ones it manages to include are a perfect sign that the online is broken.And before you say i'm overreacting ,ask yourself this simple question:When was the last time you found a server that was responding,wasn't locked,had players and the race was not held in a unknown american racetrack with buffed up vw beetles.I'm waiting...

3.LACK OF OFFLINE CHAMPIONSHIPS. Apart from the online ,another area r factor 2 frustrates me is the lack of offline content.After completing a couple of quick race type events with some AI opponents(witch btw are a joke too as they treat an f1 race like a demolition derby) i got bored quite easily. The lack of proper points system championships killed the immersion for me once and for all.

4.ROUGH UNFINISHED & UNPOLISHED LOOK. It's no secret that r Factor 2 seems like its stuck in the beta testing phase even after its being sold for such a long time.User unfriendliness, dysfunctional menus, repetitive game crashes and incompatibility with many racing wheels are some of the reasons you will want to bang your head to the wall.

CONCLUSION. As a racing sim fan and amateur race driver i really wanted to love this game but it seems like the feelings are not mutual.I wouldn't recommend spending 30 euros for something so problematic but on the other hand it all comes down to personal preference.I just thought that opinions like mine should exist among an ocean of fanboy reviews made by teenagers who haven't sat on a bucket seat yet, to guide the more quality-driven non compromising individuals.

This game/simulator has decent physics but everything else is pretty much MEH. Multiplayer is horrible so if you are looking for an online racing, look elsewhere this one is the worst. Development of the title seems very slow, the UI is ancient era. I had high hopes for this sim but the evolution of the title is going at turtle speed.

Intially the game felt very fake and poor. I gave up on it trying to play it with a wheel.
The car just oversteers regardless of how I set up it to understeer.

However I found out that it was because the controller wasn't calibrated properly and it is very hard to calibrate the controller, I used to have a wheel, but now I only have a pad after moving overseas.

I had to tune the car so it is extreme understeering so its stable, this allowed me to slowly tune my controller so calibrate the feel properly. Then I graduatley setup the car to more balanced, eventually reverted to stock settings which was very balanced for a F1 car.

WIth the controller setup proeprly even on just a standard controller pad I can feel every single bump and curve, the forcefeedback feels good and can feel nearly every part of the car is very reaslitic.

But the prolbem with online multiplayer mode is that it takes forever to download the maps and you cann't find their maps on the workshop and download them manually, workshop maps download fairly quick.
But trying to play online I still couldn't, I went into a room but it was all fulled with bots and it takes 4-12 hours of downloading time just to download all contents for a single room.

Synopsis: It's still too rough around the edges for my liking and it doesn't offer enough to draw me away from AC, ACC, or Automobilista. However, I would advise you purchase it even if you have other sims since it's all very subjective and you can easily get a refund on Steam. That said, I've decided to keep the game to support the sim community in some small way and to see how RF2 develops in future.

Some negatives: It's 2020. One shouldn't have to mess around with configuration files (controller.json for FFB) to get a playable experience. It also fails to recognise my pedals (Heusinkveld Ultimates) whenever I connect a PS4 controller to my PC. No such issue with other sims.

Some positives: RF2 can provide a very compelling in-car feeling if you spend enough time on tweaking its settings. It also offers a unique set of official tracks and cars in comparison to other sims.

I purchased this sim back in 2012. I still have the receipt from Image Space(the original creators behind rFactor 2) I even spent an extra 50 dollars to upgrade to the lifetime subscription for this sim which was touted to give you benefits the regular version wouldn't have. I remember being excited about the next generation of sims at the time and thinking if any game could be the best, it would be rFactor 2! Boy was I naive back then! In August, it will have been 8 years since it's initial release!t Isn't that nuts?Sure I've had my share of fun with it, experimenting with mods(mainly because the original content was lacking), and playing until the wee hours of the night online(when it worked!). But even up until a few years ago, it turned out it didn't have much going for itself, other than a great modding community, which if it hadn't been for those guys, this sim would have come and gone. Now, flash forward to 2020, and we're still sitting here holding our breath, as we wait and hope with clenched fists that this sim will be the be all-end all of sims. But let's be realistic for a moment. I don't care how much of a sim racing purist you are, nobody can convince me anymore that this sim has a future. I mean, sure the physics are there(for some cars), and the sound design can be very good(depending on which car you race in) but that's about it. The graphics are really starting to be dated, the menu system is anything but intuitive and completely lackluster, the loading times are horrendous, the online community is fading, and the VR experience at times can be frustrating and worthy of a trip to the ER (headache-inducing, seizure-causing loading screens that stutter and flash rapidly to no end). To add insult to injury while your convulsing and puking all over the floor, Studio 397 thought it would be a great idea to start charging for individual cars and tracks. I get it. Their employees have to get paid, and they need the funds to continue to offer content, but isn't that something you plan for/budget for BEFORE you purchase a game studio? But who am I to judge though, I'm just another gamer who spent 100$ back in the day, waiting for them to deliver. I guess what could've been or should've been, in the end just isn't. Period.

rF2 + Nordschleife + VR + McLaren 650S = Orgasmic heaven ;)

ok, ok, I hated this track many years ago as driving it in an arcade way (looking at you original Forza) I could never really learn it properly, that obv is down to myself. But the sheer immersion and feedback rF2 gives I now not only have learned Nordschleife but have started doing my own basic tuning... Literally 99% hrs so far are on this track/car combo and am still having so much fun! With yet so many tracks and cars yet to try... Years of fun ahead :).... You have to try this if you love sim racing... And yes at present I only own a T300RS... Imagine what pleasure it will bring when I upgrade to a DD2 wheel ;)

The original rFactor was one of my all time favourite and most played racing sims, so as you can imagine my expectation for the sequel was indescribable. The thing is... it took a long time to be released and by that time my hype had waned down, and to make things worse it lacked content and was very barebones.

Meanwhile Assetto Corso was released, the modding community which was the soul of the original rFactor migrated, as I did, to Assetto Corsa and... well rFactor 2 was left to die. Nowadays, with a new developer rFactor 2 is a lot stronger with more and better content, but it's still too few, expensive and sparse to be my go-to racing simulator. Which is a pitty because, honestly, this is possibly has the best and most realistic physics out there.

Good Sim with great AI but it doesn't come with any cars or tracks. And the way they hide the good mods behind paywalls is absolute crap. Just make some proper DLC already. Sick of rolling the dice that some kids workshop rip from Race 07 works properly.

The best racing sim in my opinion, even years after release, but it's more complicated than that.

What do you buy, when you buy rFactor 2? You buy a great engine, but the free content that comes with it, is not so great, and doesn't do it justice. In fact, I've unsubscribed from probably 95% of the content the sim came with.

Available content varies greatly in quality, both graphically, and simulation wise.

There is very good content out there, both paid, and free, but you need to know what to get, and where to get it (ask around). Which is a major problem in my opinion. But once you do, it is fantastic. No other racing sim bring me so much pure driving joy as rFactor 2.

For those wondering; it is not unplayable with a gamepad, but I would say that out of all the racing sims it is the least playable with a gamepad, and is much better with a wheel. And yes, the interface is ugly, it's not bad, but not great either. Things are a little clunky (from settings to any sort of customisation, mods etc.), but once you know how it works, it works well.

In short: Clunky, but with the right content and setup, the feel of driving is absolutely brilliant.

As a simulator, it's BY FAR the best I've played with (among Assetto Corsa, Assetto Corsa Competizione and Project Cars 2). The FFB is so good that car feels alive: it is an absolute pleasure to drive. You can feel every small track imperfection, loss of grip or tyre damage.

The bundled content is just OK: not as extensive as PC2 or AC, not as consistent and polished as ACC. DLCs are rather expensive (some cost more than the game itself - currently at £25.79):
- £28.82 Formula E Bundle - 2 cars, 4 tracks
- £27.50 GT3 Bundle - 11 cars
- £19.25 Endurance Bundle - 7 cars
- £22.54 Track Expansion - 4 tracks
Community content and mods are not as good as in AC, but there are some really good cars (Apex Modding FIA GT3 2012, Endurance Series, Flat6 Series, ...) and tracks (Brands Hatch, Donington Park, ...).

3D graphics again is just OK, and worse among all 4 games.

The gameplay is just appalling:
- The UI was outdated the day it came out, and the new one (in public beta) is sluggish and not as good as in ACC or PC2. The HUD could really benefit from some good mods, or from being updated by Studio 397.
- AI is terrible
- Hosting a multiplayer session requires a lot of reading, trial and error.

Would I recommend this game? Despite all the negatives, it is still worth the money, especially if on sale.

This sim in particular is confusing to me. I hate 99% of my interaction with it, from the awful awful UI to the insane load times, AI that acts like you might as well be made to shove off the road, and yet so many people seem enamored with it simply for the physics. Yes it drives well, but so few of the cars are actually enjoyable to drive and instead feel like work to get around a track cleanly. Which I guess is part of the allure for some, but I prefer my racing sims to not be fighting me every step of the way. No part of this game ever has me coming back to it purely for the gameplay and instead I only ever play it when I accidentally see it on my desktop and feel guilty for buying it and not playing.

Everything I watched and read is 100% correct. The interface is something out of the 90's, I didn't even know I was in the game at first, I kept waiting for it to start. But, the Forcefeed back is like nothing else!! It feels more natural than any other game, you can feel the back end starting to lose grip and catch it early. All other games wait too long to tell you that you're losing grip and before you know it you're facing the wrong way (I'm looking at you iRacing).

TLDR Not for casuals. Not a complete experience but the good bits are as good as it gets. Lots of reading, trial and error and perhaps some config file editing will be required.

This is not a game, neither is it a complete simulator. With some work from the developer this could easily be the racing game to beat all racing games.

Force feedback (with Fanatec GT3 RS Wheel from around 2010) is probably the best of all the sims, with the sim (with some car mode) communicating exactly what the car is doing / going to do, when its right every detail of the road surface is signalled.

Visually the sim is quite nice, in daytime at least, night time lighting is bad. Audio is usually disappointing.

Physics / modelling is very good, however there are some issues with meta setup choices that really shouldnt work but do (minimum tyre pressures).

The game UI is pretty awful and even the new UI they have been developing for a year or two is an improvement but still quite dated and clunky.

The game has no support at all for a single player championship (3rd party external tools can be used to cobble one together).

Ai is quite entertaining and frustrating to drive with, at time very lifelike and battles hard for position at others very computerlike and will randomly brake for a fast corner etc. They are always incapable of modulating throttle or brake it seems meaning that for some cars they cannot complete more than a handful of laps without ruining the tyres. With quite alot of trial and effort really good single player races can be had with the right car and track and the right AI settings.

I have purchased around half of the paid add on content and all of it is very high quality usually with it being one of the best examples of the car/track in sim racing. Many mods are available both in the steam workshop and on external websites, it is hit or miss. Some of it is superb, some is rehashed rubbish from ancient games that was never very good in the first place. Vehicles are provided with a single 'factory' setup they are usually awful and often undrivable. There is a very large selection of mod content available.

S397 / ISI have made many improvements since launch, but progress now is very slow with more effort going into high quality paid content it seems.

However despite all these flaws the experience can be amazing, try hotlapping the BMW M2 Competition around nordschleife for example, brilliant (both are paid content).

TLDR: definitely one of the best sims out there and i cannot recommend it enough
Rfactor2 is By far one of the best Simulators out there, DLC is a bit on the pricey side but wait for a sale and its perfectly affordable. tons of leagues and events to find and race with as well.
superb for endurance races and sprint races.
sure there are a few software bugs but none that make the game unplayable in my experience.
Tons of mods and aftermarket content!
old UI is pretty outdated but moving to the new UI is much better and super easy to install

Been playing iracing, ACC, AC, Automobilista 2 for a while now, and I have to say that the FFB and physics blow those titles away. After using this sim it's difficult to go back to those titles.
All it needs now is an easier way to participate in online races, and it will be the king of racing sims. Really hope Studio 397 can pull it off.

Can't really recommend this to anyone unless you're hardcore into sims.
UI is very clunky and unintuitive, despite getting an overhaul a few days ago. The game lacks time trial mode and leaderboards, which I was shocked by since everyone talked about this game as a go-to sim for time trialers.
Content is scattered all over the place. Default content is not very interesting (very basic cars and tracks). Most of the content
is on the steam workshop, but quality varies highly. The most popular cars (GT3, LMP ...) and laser scanned tracks (Sebring, Nurburgring, Le Mans ...) have to be purchased from game store, and it gets expensive very quickly.
Controller support is terrible. It is a pain in the ass to set it up in the first place, and even after that it doesn't work properly - doesn't work in menu, sometimes game doesn't register your controller inputs when you start racing, and such..
Game is poorly optimized and tracks load very slowly.
Once you get it going, physics and immersion are great, but imo it's not worth the tradeoff.

Went from my favourite sim of all time to one I barely boot up any more, and when I do it's an exercise in frustration. Coming to Steam started out as a good thing with the Workshop support, then it started to go downhill. Some time after ISI abandoned it, a patch took what was basically the best AI in sim racing and turned them into drivers that will get every car sideways, just struggling to lap properly even on high settings. The new UI is a total disaster, in ultrawide it's stretched across the screen and it takes ages to set up a single player race since the UI will freeze to check if your favourite servers are up, even if you've not got any. It's still got incredible physics, the tyre simulation is ridiculous, but so, so many little bugs and issues that have been around for about 10 years now, even before the fairly disastrous DX11 implementation. There's a competition system now so maybe this will improve the online situation (which was very behind the times, although you still have to buy all the DLC used in a server to join it rather than just one car...), but for me rF was about the awesome offline racing and that's basically gone now, and the online market is pretty saturated by this point. With the existence of Assetto Corsa Competizione for GT racing, Assetto Corsa for the mods and better AI (I do miss those rF physics though), Automobilista for the older mods and force feedback, and AMS2 for having a trillion cars and amazing laser scans, there's little point in this any more. Such a shame.

Complete waste of time! Steam says I've played the game for 55 hours, but in reality I've never even gotten the car out of the garage. Game doesn't recognize my G920 wheel and crashes when I try to assign controllers manually. The game crashes so hard upon closing that even Task Manager freezes and I have to sign out of Windows to get my computer back. All of my other games work fine right out of the box, so I don't know what these guys are thinking... I've wasted so much time reading forums and futzing around trying to get it to work - very upsetting, really.

I purchased rFactor 2 because I heard that the AI and physics are the best you can find in sim racing. I have experience in R3E, iRacing, ACC and expected a lot. But I am disappointed as hell. The AI isn't better than any other I experienced so far (except F1). The physics are great, but not as good as it is promoted in my opinion. The FFB is very good by standart in comparrison to the other sims. The UI is a big mess and it takes time to find everything you are searching for. I don't even want to start talking about the loading times. Although it has a good choise of cars and the prices are good for what you get, rFactor 2 has a lot more potential than it has right now.

As much as I have enjoyed time playing this title - its support from Studio 397 and pushing more incomplete, unfinished and questionably handling content, in addition to their lack of commitment to fixing core issues with the simulator including screen freezes, driver swap failures and subpar physics in its recent DLC prevents me from recommending this to anyone.

Bacho's commentary and review otherwise is still unfortunately accurate in 2021.

First of all, I'd like to clarify that rFactor2 has one of the most impressive physics and probably the best FFB I've ever tested.
Then even if the game isn't pretty it shouldn't be too much of a hassle ?

Well, that's too good to be true.

The first thing that shocked me the most was the HORRIBLE interface, nothing had any kind of sense. No like literally, it took me at least 10 good minutes to know how to select a map and a car, only to play singleplayer. Also, don't forget to add at least 5 minutes of intense loading with an Intel Core i7 7700k.

Then I try to drive with my steering wheel, mapping some buttons on my keyboard like ignition and starter; nothing works. It then took me at least 45 good minutes and 25 Google Chrome tabs to finally be able to use my wheel on the game.

I'm not too picky when coming to graphics, I still play very old games like CS 1.6, SWAT 4, San Andreas etc etc, but here I just couldn't drive, like it felt I needed to focus on every pixel of my screen to distinguish a turn. I'm playing on Ultra; 1440p 144hz and I just felt like playing Krunker.io

I'm looking out on youtube and the game doesn't look bad at all, but only for PAID content. Here's my major consern; why is this game trying to have an iRacing like economy system. Seriously, like 11 euros for a track ? I wouldn't mind paying 30 euros for 12 GT3 cars (and I even think it's a bit expensive, but I wouldn't mind too much because they are high quality), but 11 euros for a SINGLE lonely track ?

For comparaison, you can have the laser scanned Nordschleife in his three layouts with 10 additional cars provided in the pack for 7 euros retail price on Assetto Corsa. You could even get the ultimate edition for 15 euros (base game + all dlcs) on sale or on other platforms.

It's actually so frustrating because it could be a much better game because of its physics, FFB and VR performances.
I got refunded for the game since it was unplayable and didn't have enough content.

And it's not like in iracing where if you don't have the other cars from the series you can still participate. nooooo you have to buy all GT3 cars, all P2 cars, all whatever to participate in let's say VEC.

I'm really torn on this. One the one hand, I concur with the community that rfactor 2 has the best physics and force feedback for a racing game that I've played. However, the game has managed to get worse when Studio 397 tried to make it better.

First off, the UI is trash and I really want to go back to the old one. There was nothing wrong with it, it was just a little ugly, but it worked. This new UI is just a reskin of the old UI, removes some options, and was illogically produced. To get to single player races, I have to wait for the game to LOAD MY FAVOURITE SERVERS EVERY TIME. WHO DESIGNED THIS? I don't even have any favourite servers, and it gets old to have to wait 30 seconds every time I want to change a setting in a race.

You'll be changing a lot of settings too, as the AI seem to be... interesting. In some cases, they're the best AI in a racing game. Other times, you'll be racing with 20 Nikita Mazepins, especially on the ovals. Despite S397 clearly making oval racing a priority with their multiple stock car releases, the state of the simulator in this regard is in taters. The yellow flags, essential for oval racing, are straight up broken. You'll often receive a penalty for going to slow while in the queue behind the pace car, and sometimes cars straight up don't catch the queue. You can't turn off the penalties without turning off yellow flags, which makes this ridiculous.

Don't waste your money, even though s397 wants you to spend $11 on a single track. I stopped paying attention to the DLC, which are confusingly put into a separate store. It's not worth it.

Terrible UI, incredibly fragmented eco-system (you can have to download up to 35 packages when you want to race on 1 track with 1 car (I imagine people have seen much higher numbers that me), which can take an hour plus to load, then the packages fail)

The actual gameplay is excellent if you ever actually get to race, but with other excellent options out there (RaceRoom is now exceptional), why would you go through the pain and frustration that is RFactor 2??

Is this game worth $30? No.

And when I say that, I mean it. Not even to hardcore racing fans. Go get Assetto Corsa or ACC or PC2 or Dirt or any other number of racing simulators, if you're looking to spend more than $10 on a game. RF2's interface is borderline unusable for the first 20 minutes or so until you've figured it out. The base game content is thin. There's about 2 hours of content here at best. Sadly, the game downloads from a launcher, so you'll be well past the refund window by the time you're able to play (I had four and half hours of playtime from downloading, and had never actually launched the full game until today).

Learning the cars is rewarding, but there aren't many cars. Driving the tracks is a blast, but the track selection is mediocre (no Nurburgring, no Le Mans, no VIR, no Brands Hatch, no Hockenheim, no Sebring, et cetera). Granted, this is the only game I've played where I can crash a 60's F1 car through the haybales and into the bay at Monaco, but that doesn't really make up for how *lacking* the content here is. It seems like the cars and tracks in screenshots from the store page aren't available - I don't have any Ferrari's or Bentleys in my car selection, nor do I have the Nurburgring or Spa - and tracks cost $15 a pop.

If it hadn't been months (or maybe closer to a year) since I first bought it, i'd be calling steam support and fighting for a refund. But I've got the game now, so I'll probably spend a few more hours playing with it.

If you can get this game on sale - for $10 or less - it does have some incredible physics modelling (as many have said, one of the best), and wheels go flying off when you crash. The game seems to be best for fans of *older* cars, particularly 60's-90's Formula-style legends. You immediately get a sense of the scale of the car you're in (something I think is lacking in virtually every other racing game). Hop in a Brabham and you'll immediately realize just how small the cockpit is thanks to the fact that you start looking at a human standing just outside, waving you out of the pits. Then you step on the gas pedal, realize that the car is turning itself, and then spend fifteen minutes in a UI that *must* have been designed by a masochist figuring out how to stop the game from steering and braking for you.

Your money is much better spent elsewhere.

The fact that it takes for ever to set it up only to find out your wheel or pedals aren't working is beyond ridiculous. I can't honestly review driving experience since I wasn't blessed to drive this thing. So I did what anyone else would. Asked for refund.....
A little time went on and so I thought ......to hell with it ...... Let's give it another go.
The UI has been changed and so I hear some options but funny enough my wheel or pedals even though they're mapped and recognised by the game DO NOT WORK!!!!! I tried everything uninstalling and deleting all the files. Nothing seems to work for me.
I'm not using anything fancy. Simple Fanatec CSL Elite with V3 pedals and Formula Carbon wheel.
So AGAIN opted for refund and I don't think be touching it anytime soon.
Game feels broken and for whatever reason loading times are a joke by today's standards taking graphics level into consideration.
There's very good sims out there this one is not one of them

Good sim, runs under Proton in Linux. Even has Force Feedback on a G29 wheel (with the new-lg4ff driver)

Out of all the sims, Its the best driving experience available currently (Ive played every sim)
Worth every penny for the DLC
Like all sims, the UI & menu's could be better, this causes a lot of newcomers to quickly dismiss it.
but tbh i dont care,
ive never had a single problem or bug either

The good / cool
- The control some of these cars have is so satisfying. LMP2 cars grip well and are extremely fun.
- Entire flag system is fantastic.
- Game looks great in non VR
- Some of the cars sound amazing.

Unfortunately a lot of annoyances.
The UI is just awful. I agree the old needed to be replaced though:
- I cannot exit a race after it's finished without the game crashing.
- Why can't I remove cars I don't want from a race? Why would it add MAX cars when I choose a class? Luckily I was familiar with creating a mod package to get around this.
- The game takes 5? minutes to load a race on an SSD. (I don't really care too much since you can adjust the entire weekend from inside the race, as well as controls / add or remove cars if needed).
- I crashed and wanted to watch the rest of one of my test races, the map feed is cool to see where everyone is on track, but then you go to camera the video feed is 5 fps. Pointless and lags the entire UI.

AI is fine during the race, it's really cool to see them spin or start to lose it and catch themselves. Unfortunately:
- They crash into you before you can even pull out to start the formation lap unless you drive out quickly. (VERY quickly)
- Constantly slam their brakes during the formation lap / safety cars.
- Move directly into you or in front of you sometimes under blue flags.
- I'm still messing with the settings but I haven't been able to get them to qualify correctly. I simulated LeMans and 8 or so LMP2's qualified behind the GTE's.

Overall the game is solid, but the UI updates are a huge step backwards IMO.

The degree of how broken this UI is absolutely mind-blowing. I present my deepest admiration and respect for the devs who have made such masterpiece.

I've never cared about ux before..... but this game redefines it..... you've never had a problem with user experience before, and don't think it's a big issue? Then here's a master class in how to peev your player base until they leave for assetto corsa competizione.

It's a death of a thousand cuts..... I've played a bunch of sims, and the demo of this was fantastic.... but I swear that was a different game. The physics are marginally better than some others, but you don't get to enjoy them FFS

Yes the user interface is buggy and not very user friendly to say the least, and yes some games look better (although rf2 looks great in VR if you can push the settings) and have a better online and offline functionality.

But, the physics, force feedback and track quality are so great, that if you are looking for a true sim and not a quick and simple racing game, it is well worth the time and effort in my honest opinion.

I hope that now under the 'Motorsport Games' umbrella the devs will be able to bring the much needed improvements that clearly prevents more people than enjoying this sim.

Ridiculous what passes for quality control on steam these days. Runs badly and takes actual computer skills to make it work. I came for the crashing but this is not the fun kind
