Just FYI

This isn't updated or checked at all anymore. The information on here is old and probably has some mistakes. I've been meaning to do something new for a while, but haven't done so yet. Anyway this is here as is, and I apologise if anything is inaccurate. Enjoy!

rF1 to rF2 Engine Conversion V0.96.2

I've just updated the Engine Conversion tool to V0.96.2. Only one thing has changed from the previous version, which is the way idling is implemented. Some cars I was working on had stalling problems after the idle logic wasn't correctly transferred, but that's fixed now.

Converting engines from rF1 to rF2 & Download

Here we are again, and some things have changed. The whole process has been simplified a lot, a bunch of unnecessary parameters removed, and a few additional features are in. At this point, for most people, it'll only be a few clicks to get a basic rF2 engine in place. Also, it's up for download. So, here you go!

Converting rF1 engines to rF2

Sure, rFactor 2 can work fine with rF1 engines. But the improvements can't be implicitly applied. By directly copying your engine from rF1 to rF2, you aren't getting the benefit of the new throttle model. More information needs to be added to get the most out of it, and I'm hoping I've just made that easier.

I've spent the recent couple of weeks working on a small program to make converting rF1 engines over to the rF2 throttle model an easy task. At this stage, I'd say you can put an rF1 engine in the program and get an rF2 engine out in less than a minute. And the engine you get out of it is ready to drive immediately in rF2! (Though you may still need to pack it away in a .mas file, if that's how you're organizing it).

TGM tires, and ply placement

Truth be told, my last post on the rF2 tire model a while ago was written in frustration. Looking back on it, I do stand by everything I said, but I'm back to trying to work with it. I have absolutely no in engine results yet, but I have got some nice findings in the construction. Notably in the ply distribution.
