Im going to try and cut down on what I have on an Rfactor install. How would I go about setting up a second install of Rfactor so that for one I can have R2P stuff and in the other one all the tracks and mods that I try out?

Regards,
Zak

Start with this.. rFactor Lite

There are also some of the tracks you might need there too. Then go from there.

Is it possible to copy the Rfactor folder then delete the tracks/ mods out of it and rename the exe and new folder?

I managed to streamline my copy of rFactor by removing every last trace of it from my hard drive, snapping the disc i had it backed up on and setting it on fire.
Problem solved once and for all :p

Sorry, couldn't help myself. I'll get my coat..........

Someone get this thread back on track quickly.. :)

If you have a huge rFactor install with lots of tracks and mods then copy that, your just going to create a lot of work for yourself.

Best to do what Garry has suggested. I guess most of us have the main rFactor install and many other installs for specific mods. Just rename the folders not the exe.

You can try! dont know if you can rename the exe.

BTW: You see in the config.ini file of rFactor the locations of folders.

You can have a tracks in one place and cars in other if you like.

I have 1 folder with the original rFactor and:

1 Race2Play (Mods and Tracks use in R2P)
1 VHR mod (is better alone)
1 with all tracks
1 for Stocks cars
1 for F1
1 for GTs

I have diferent configs in G25 for diferent cars, so....

Try it

Zak look HERE it explains how to do it.

I highly recommend keeping all of your tracks under one install and pointing the others to the install with the tracks.
The only track I know of that will not work like this is Lime Rock.
