Once loaded you can now walk around the environment easily. There are also various dialogues that you can use to adjust various settings, change time etc. (Note that not all of these work)
Adding Extra Locations
By default there are not many accessible locations in the viewer. It does not index the installed locations automatically for instance.
| Info |
|---|
| See this page for how to install development tracks in general: Installing Development Tracks |
There are buttons in the application to specify extra locations, however they do not keep relative paths.
The easiest way is to open setup2_DX11.ini Notepad++ and then add extra SceneDir entries for the other locations.
| Info |
|---|
| Make sure the Scene Viewer is not open when editing setup2_dx11.ini or your changes will not be picked up. |
For example:
SceneDir=Locations\LeMans\LeMans
SceneDir=Locations\LochDrummond\LochDrummond_Long
SceneDir=Locations\Joesville\JoesVille_Speedway
SceneDir=Locations\Sebring\Sebring_12H_RC
SceneDir=Locations\Silverstone\Silverstone_GTLayout
SceneDir=Locations\Indianapolis\Indianapolis2014GP
SceneDir=Locations\LochDrummond\LochDrummond_Short
SceneDir=Locations\Mores\MoresShort
Using User Interface
It is also possible to use the user interface to add extra locations to the Scene Viewer. However this does not maintain extra paths. To do this, you need to set both the root path (to the locations folder eg: Z:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\ModDev\Locations) and location paths (to the SCN file eg: Z:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\ModDev\Locations\Monaco\Monaco_GP) using the File icon next to those options in the user interface. They both will set absolute paths. There may also be an error on first load of the file, due to a bug in the way the scene viewer works. If you restart the scene viewer it should work on the second load.

Tweak Bar Rollouts
TweakBar Rollouts allow the modification of various settings whilst viewing a location. Please note that some of these are a hangover from old development and no longer work.
