I agree with Richo on the Fun Nights for RF2 to help people get up to speed with most of the regular RF2 guys being there on the night to help

I'm thinking that the clan should migrate over to rF2 sooner rather than later.
rF1 is now very dated (though tried and tested) technology, so it makes sense to keep with the times.

Wednesdays could be an access point, perhaps transition point is a better term, for rF2. The popularity
of rF1 is rapidly decreasing, so to attract new members it would be better to get into rF2 ASAP.

Slackers such as myself will eventually get into rF2 (and whatever else we may run, Asetto Corsa, Project Cars etc)
so it should be what's best for the clan; not keeping the handbrake on to the detriment of progress.

Mondays should remain rF1 V8SC nights until a decent rF2 version of V8SC comes out, but Wednesdays should roll-over to rF2.
Enduros could be more transitional? Perhaps Fridays could be rF1 early 2013, then progress over. By mid-year there will hopefully be a decent V8SC
mod for us to use? With Nib's ongoing Aussie track conversions, it should be a relatively seamless transition.

Thoughts?

Rf2 seems a lot to download in one go. So i am still very hesitant and allso a lot of people having a lot of trouble working it out. not sure yet

Pete I had the same feeling about RF2 in the beginning but one session on TS with the guys showed me excactly what to do and now it is easy as.

If you have a torrent downloader you can basically get the whole thing working and up to date with 2 torrents, and what game lately does not have a lot of downloadable content, i have cosole games that require more downloading than RF2

The longer you leave it the more stuff that you will need to download. Majority of the downloads can be found in our fast downloads and like nipzon said a bit of time on TS with someone that has rF2 and you'll be up and running in no time.

For anyone who is thinking they need to get RF2 here's a helpful link...

Now as for the general discussion about what to run, well I'm in two minds about it.
1st I think running RF2 is a great idea to attract new members and undoubtedly stimulate current members to join in.
2nd I don't think it's fair to the members to make them get RF2 when their not ready to buy it, for the obvious reason of cost. I know I had to upgrade my pc to get a decent framerate, that was around the $400 mark to make it good to go. Some will need to do this some not.
So maybe we could run RF1 wednesday nite as usual and run RF2 friday night maybe with the plan to move it to wednesday when everybody is ready.

Yeah but alot of people have known for over 12 months that you are goin to need better pc to run RF2 and for me to be part of it i can only run on a Monday and a Wednesday any other nite and i cant commit. So fridays would have to be a big no to me. And like i said in the earlier post numbers have looked very small on a Wednesday nite lateley so maybe its time to experiment with RF2 before we start losing anyone else to Iracing and other sims.

I think the main thing holding people back is The PC I only have a decent PC coz i helped a m8 so he helped me i only handed over 100 bucks in the end just a lot of hard yakka some cant afford all be it 400 bucks to upgrade specially this time of year i know i couldnt

there is alot of content to get upto date with everything but i think i'd spend longer getting everything for RF1 which i hadnt really thought about and rf1 is still getting updated with new mods and tracks etc and RF2 is gonna be the same so really there both still some form of beta I guess and always will be just a different system


Whateva we race I'm there

I haven't tried it yet (2 buzy wif tha RF2 Lola atm) but the 2012 Corvette C6 Mod may be worth a look, certainly will be good to compare to the Corvette Mod soon to be released on RF2.

edit: the vid looks pretty crappy

it took me 12 mths slowly buying the gear i needed to do this , and it was a bit of a learning curve to get it all going but well worth it .
my fav rf2 mod is the Clio cup , easy to drive and fun to throw around , im realy not a fan of the open wheel cars , never was .
i love the idea of rf2 night , i hate to admit , but my ts stuffing up kept me away from our events but also , having ran with iracing then rf2 , well, rf1 lost its shine and i felt like i was letting the side down by not joining even without ts .
and pinky , to say its daunting with all the learning understandable but as the boys say , get on ts and we will sort u out , im going to upload all my rf2 packages to my media fire account in the next few days so it will be easier , i have GIGS of it and some of it was damm hard to find ......
i would even brave a rf2 night with no ts

Well it seems as though RF2 has almost got the numbers
