We are proud to annouce an new version of rF_HighVoltage.
rF_HighVoltage 1.2
DRS & KERS for rFactor
The new version introduces the possibility to directly assign KERS & DRS to buttons and axis of your steering wheel, joystick or button box. But you are still able to use your keyboard to control KERS & DRS.
The use of 3rd-party software like joy2key is now not longer necessary.

That means, that you can deactivate DRS by either braking or pressing a button, in case you have to deactivate DRS where braking is not needed.
Another feature has been added to this release: DRS strength factor.
The DRS strength factor is a new setting in the RFM, which enables a modder to finetune the DRS effect which should be applied by rF_HighVoltage on activation.
KIKONI produced a small tutorial video which shows how simple it is to implement the additions to the rfm as a modder and to assign the buttons and axis as a driver.

Kikoni is one of guys behind the famous FSOne modification for rFactor.
While rF_HighVoltage has been tested with the FSOne, it isn’t limited to this specific modification. It’s quite easy to setup other mods to use rF_HighVoltage.
