So Andy says it’s good I say it’s good but you don’t believe us you believe some random guys on the internet reviewing a previous version of the game that has been changed several times since they reviewed it?
👍🏻 Cheers really appreciated.

On AMS2 version of the Caterhams, by Scoops. Who actually owns a Caterham.
and Wrighty with the expensive rig. It's £25. You don't need the DLC packs. As you always said "You can't take it with you."
In fact this applies to all you Caterham owners out there, who'll spend more than £25 on your Caterham "if" you were allowed out for a drive in it. I don't or have ever owned a Caterham. So if you guys want to race a decent Caterham mod, then I'll get it.

This is what I think we could do with the current content.
Caterham Superlight at
Cadwell Oulton Brands GP Donington Snettterton 300 Spielberg
Sprint ( BTCC based)
Guapore Ibarra Cascaval Curitiba Campo Grande Interlagos GP to finish
Brazilian Stock Cars ( DTM based) round some GP tracks
Spielberg Imola Interlagos Montreal Adelaide Kansai ( Suzuka)
Formula Vintage ( Like the Eve )
Brands GP Imola 72 Interlagos 76 Jacarapagua Montreal 88 Adelaide 88
Christmas
Karting round at the 6 or so Kart tracks
Hotlap the GYR Ultima around Virginia Raceway
Doesn’t sound too bad does it?
The weather looks good I think better than rF2. Nighttime is a struggle for FPS at the minute so leave that but there are LMP1 @ 2 versions for us to have an endurance series as and when.
It’s not perfect of course but I think it is good enough already. There is a dedicated sever on its way but we can all host races in game already.
Brakes are off at the minute as the look too easy at default dropping the brake force % down while not a realistic number gives full brake feel.
Setting up your controller can take a bit of a knack.
Any questions?

Just tried to open the file in my rF2 vehicles folder after I unzipped it with 7Zip. Can't seem to do it as it might be archived. I used the link in the youtube video. The file I downloaded was rF2r_Superkart.rfcmp which goes in c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\Packages and then you have to install it in the launcher's Contents tab.

Regarding AMS2 I think we need to be mindful of the minimum / recommended specs and peoples hardware. Mine don't match recommended but they are not quite minimum, somewhere in between. I don't mind spending £25 , and I might do later just to see how it runs, especially in VR.

AMS runs better for me than rF2? I can run AMS on Maxed settings and no problems I can’t do that in rF2.
The VR is apparently optimised better in AMS2 but I can’t test that.

AUTO2 ANDYS TAKE ONIT... VR slightly better than AC with sol...… easy access to make lobby for online racing …. No gt3 so no dickhead kids in lobby … caterhams are very good with ffb and dd ….. amazing grip feeling … and loads of diff tracks to learn …. yes there has been a few bugs online but will only get better... worth 24 qwid …. seems to be orientated more to hardcore race types than for kids..... in my mind project cars 2 was shit , this is nothing like PC2..... FFB is very good and will only improve ….

It’s nothing to do with believing anybody, I’m just not into “playing” on my PC. I’ve had VR for over a year now and don’t have any games or programmes as it’s just not my thing. I’m also not into driving for the sake of driving and never sat in my rig to “just drive”. I have a total of 4 games (all driving) and 2 of them are never used. Presently I’m racing Mon, Thu and Fri nights as well as a Little F1 at the Weekend, so really don’t need anything else to occupy my time. Especially as there’s seven of us living in my house at the minute As I’ve said, it’s never about the money , but unless we used AMS2 for racing it would become a £25 desktop icon. As always, if everyone’s up for it, then I’m certainly in.

Although I’m not 100% sure it was the same process I followed, other than I dropped it into vehicle. All fell down when I tried to open the actual folder, it displayed the explorer icon and once clicked it just kept asking if I wanted to either open or save. ill try again later but put it in launcher.

Yep that’s been picked up by Reiza but not had any online racing as I don’t have anyone to race with.

“ As always, if everyone’s up for it, then I’m certainly in.”
I think everyone is the same but unless anyone else gives it a go we won’t move? I’m paraphrasing but we have two people on here saying the Caterham’s are good and worth a punt. The price is only discounted by 40% for a few more weeks so will go up.
What do people want to do? Ignore AMS2 and go with what we have or take a punt on £25 and try a Caterham mod?
