Best place is to join our discord server, usually you can use the voice chat there to hang out and race with people. There is usually some one there online to play with, and lots of experienced people to show you the ropes. Our next big league season starts in late September and has sign ups open.

RE: Come back after 10 years!
Welcome back! That was before my time, but it's cool to see more of the old rFactor guys come out of the woodwork. Be sure to check out or discord, that's where most of the chatter is these days. There is usually some one around who will run with you on the server.

RE: System Requirements?
It might be worth while taking some sort of survey of the regular players to see what their specs are and what frame rate they get. Maybe then we could get a better idea of what it takes to currently run the game well beyond the vague "decent gaming PC".

RE: How do I make a dedicated server?
Easiest way to race with other people is to join the official UHL server 'www.uhlhydroplanes.com'. I believe there is a way to set up your own server but it's a hassle and above my skill level.

RE: Out of curiosity
You can race in VR, but I wouldn't recommend it in a league unless you have a spotter. As for future VR stuff, the new GP boat model has a really well-made cockpit model thanks to Kallen Washburn, so that'll look really nice in VR once its finished.
With water effects, we used to have some splashes on the screen but they never worked in VR and I believe were tied to the old water system. Details like that are probably lower priority than other things, like GP boats and race courses for them.

RE: Controller help
I don't have much experience with Xbox controllers on this game but from what I know they can be pretty finicky. Generally PS4 controllers seem to work better. I have a made-for-PC controller based off a PS controller. This one: https://www.amazon.com/Controller-Gamepad-Computer-Windows-Android/dp/B00OAYHIRA

RE: race
We have a non-season race tomorrow night. You can join our discord to channel, which is generally where announcements are made, plus it's where everyone hangs out during races.

RE: Console Contoller
What kind of controller are you using? Also be sure the input is just "Rudder" and "Canard", not "Rudder(+)" or "Rudder(-)".

RE: Console Contoller
I use a controller, specifically a made-for-PC controller, but PS4 controllers work with the game just fine in my experience. Xbox controllers can be finicky. You have to put the input for the joysticks yourself. Go to the input tab and bind "rudder" to a joystick axis. Same with "canard" with the 2nd joystick.

RE: Dead boat list?
I removed most of my early poorly made boats from the dropbox a while ago. I like having the Banshee boats around as fantasy boats for anyone to use, same with the Doom and Ecco boats. Everything else I made (Serious Sam, Wolfenstein, Whitetip, and lol I forgot I made a T-mobile boat) probably aren't gonna be used even when messing around any time soon.
Most of Cei's boats probably aren't going to be used since he isn't as active these days.

RE: Cockpit Textures?
The cockpit requires it's own view model, something we don't have yet. There's an unfinished version in the old rFactor mod. It's lower on the to-do list as far as I know.
