Joining a server if you can't see it in the matchmaker

This should work for both Steam and non-Steam versions but you will need to know the server's IP address and HTTP port.

1. Open the rFactor 2 launcher and go to the settings tab

2. Click Single Player (not multiplayer) above the textbox

3. Paste the following into the textbox: +multiplayer +connect <SERVER_IP>:<HTTP_PORT>
    Replace <SERVER_IP> with the IP address of the server and <HTTP_PORT> with the HTTP port of the server and ensure there is a colon between them
    For the TMF server (simracingaustralia#1) this will be: +multiplayer +connect rf2.simracingaustralia.net:65005
    For the RFL server (simracingaustralia#2) this will be: +multiplayer +connect rf2.simracingaustralia.net:64297
    For the EVT server (simracingaustralia#3) this will be: +multiplayer +connect rf2.simracingaustralia.net:27013

4. Click the Save button

5. Click the Single Player button (not multiplayer)

Note that to play single player again, you will need to remove this from the textbox and hit the save button.
