There really is no need to respond to Blueflames latest ridiculous assumption. I get the feeling he thinks we all suffer from his limited brain capacity.
It's the fashionable thing to say you cant have good races at the ring. It is of course complete nonsense. Had some great racing there in other sims. You do need two things to make it a successfully event though... talent and patience.
Anyhow, it's romping away in the lead of the poll. I bet all the hipsters that think its cool to call it overrated and rubbish to race at will whip out their credit cards to buy it the moment its released.
You will notice that i'm not clutching.... just lifting and shifting up, and LFB and blipping the throttle on downshifts. Clearly once they have damage in you wouldn't want to race like that as it'll ruin the transmission, but for hotlapping and qualifying it's got to be the quickest method.
Sorry, i've only got a replay of the KTM@Sliverstone GP at the moment..i'm very slack when it comes to remembering to save replays. Please remind me tomorrow via PM here or in the AC forum, or add me in steam (stuthemoose) and i'll do one for you tomorrow
I'm sure i've had the RSR timing invalidate laps that AC didn't give me the slowdown penalty for, so i suspect there's something going on in their software that is in addition to AC's inbuilt penalty system.
I was taken out twice in 130+ races. I had some of the best races against the best opposition I've ever raced with at iRacing. It was the cleanest, fairest and most competitive place I've ever raced. Fun? Well, i probably had more of a laugh on CTRA, but that was the nature of 10's of sprint races every evening one after the other, with good company on teamspeak. I still rate iRacing as fun if clean, hard racing is your idea of fun.
..i get the feeling you wouldn't know what fun is if it came right up to you and tickled your balls with a feather duster though.
Couple of things jumped out straight away... first 2 corners... take more of the first curb to give you a better line into the 2nd corner. You want to take a lot less curb in the second corner, no wheels on the green bit.
You made a mess of Tosa..plenty of time to be gained there.
Variante Alta can probably be attacked a little harder. Hard to tell exactly off a vid, but it didnt look quite aggressive enough.
Final corner.. a better line required that gets two wheels on the inside curb allowing a better exit.
Next time after your run grab the telemetry file (documents/assetto corsa/aim/ telemetry_dump.nkt) rename it and keep it to one side and i'll try and remember to do the same when i run a good lap, or hopefully someone else whos doing fast times can remember to grab telemetry as well. Then we can do proper analysis.
Dont worry fella. Once MP is up and running our team will have a server or two up and running for sure. I've no doubt we can make it invite only for the serious LFS guys and iRacers.
I sure as hell wont be stepping into public server land. Clean, quality racing with serious racers is what it's all about.
And on another subject.....
Today's update was awesome. The throttle mapping change in itself was the single best update since release. The response of the 458 now is magic.. far more like it should be. You actually need throttle control now.
