Feels so damn good. 1.18 clearly possible. Don't think anything below 1.17.5 is achievable... for us normal people anyway.

It was my steam handle when I installed AC so it just stuck...

Quote from The Moose :Higher rear pressures +2 clicks, lowered front ride height, - 2 clicks all round on rebound dampers. 23l fuel

Went a touch quicker with those settings.

Quote from The Moose :7th lap Got to be loads more in it.


I actually meant 1.20.4 but nevertheless welldone. It wasn't a particularly quick lap, it was just clean. Did you make any changes to the setup? I was running default fuel etc.

Well Dennis said it only worked when on full ignition, and I'm assuming he means that's when the engine is running. So if you need to run the engine to know if there's oil or not it could be too late.

Well that's what I was getting at. Obviously it's not the case that you'd have to start the motor first but you know... french cars.. you just don't know..

Quote from The Moose :Not driven it there yet. I'm addicted to Imola at the moment (and i don't think I'm particularly fast tbh, still think there is lot to get out of the car.)

KTM at Magione is epic.. let me know what time you get if you do laps there.

Quote from The Moose :I just keep coming back to the X-Bow.

It really shows off the quality of the physics and has the best FFB of all the cars so far.

I just sat down and played with the setup, doing 12 lap stints, tweaking a bit,another stint. Ended up running 120 laps I gained time every stint, the car just keeps giving you more and more as you learn its handling, which is sublime.

I think this has to be one of the finest sim cars ever made.


The other lovely thing about driving for a few hours is the dynamic lighting. Starting at 8.00AM when its quite dark and just driving as it turned to full daylight really added to the immersion factor.

The more time you put into it, the more it keeps giving.

Whats your KTM pb at Magione?

If McLaren take Hulk that would be a smart move on their part.

Quote from Dennis93 :well I found out it was how much oil that was in the engine, it only works when on full ignition...

Very clever indeed

Silly french cars. Wake up one morning, start car. Engine ceases. No oil.

Unless its some kind of exhaust reverb, I can't see it being a i4 tbh. It just doesn't sound like it.

Well if the track isn't lit you're gonna see basically nothing of what's going on on track. I'd prefer to be awake at a stupid time in the morning than struggle to focus on a nightrace at 8in the morning..

Quote from The Moose : From GPL up to the latest build of iRacing they all have the same "icy" feeling for want of a better description, and the cars always seem to be lacking a sense of mass and inertia.


That's because it's basically the same game engine.

Will Buxton is a hipster fag, comes on the podium for GP2/GP3 acting all pally with the drivers in his brown jacket n green corduroys. Then posts articles about Giorgio Pantano and how amazing his is in the vain hope to get his mate a drive.

Nobody takes him serious anymore, he's the same guy that was screaming Perez would never end up at McLaren because of his Ferrari connections.

He befriends a few drivers and has massive bias towards them for the whole season even when they are making horrendous errors.

Quote from Bean0 :Are they able to only use some of the cylinders at times, like in F1 ?

They probably are, although it's on corner entry where it sounds more like a 6 cylinder, but on corner exit it sounds like a 4, and in the case of cylinder shut down, you'd want all of the cylinders on exit I suppose.

Wow, that's a hard one... it sounds like a V6 but at the same time sounds like a 4cylinder.. really bizarre..

Yea, like physical ability is important in Nascar...

Next you're gonna tell me that NASCAR drivers are athletes....

Quote from PMD9409 :


but Button has been salvaging finishes much better than him all season long.

In a team and a sport that he's been comfortable in for some time. In terms of team-mate relativity he's doing way better than Heikki Kovalinen did...

Quote from Gougoodthing :He did better at Sauber... (Assuming he doesn't get 32 points in the last 2 races)


This is true, but actually Sauber over the last few years have made less pitstop errors than McLaren have. So maybe it's just a simple case of McLaren falling behind somewhat which reflects in the car.


McLaren would be better by hiring Di Resta or Hulkenberg rather than Magnussen though. They've both already proved they have what it takes. I don't think it was fair to give Perez only one season and then dump him. He's not been in F1 for aslong as Button, and he hasn't been in McLaren for as long as Button either. So as far as team-mate comparisons go it is really harsh to compare him against button.


Infact come to think of it, the majority of Sergios poor results in McLaren have been due to strategy fails..


but Mustafur, please tell me which mistakes Perez has made because I don't recall a single one this season. The only thing that comes close was the tyre failure at Korea, which was indirectly induced by a lock-up, which I wouldn't really class as a mistake because the right front takes a pounding around Korea.

Quote from atledreier :Well, with a similar setup they aren't THAT different. The base setups are VERY different, though.

Well of course you can setup a car to make it handle badly. What I'm saying is on AC it doesn't float on a surface of bullshit like it does on iR. When you go over a crest it doesn't take off at the back and have a weird oscillation in teh differential from left to right making it impossible to keep in a straight line.

Also on AC you can induce the understeer and oversteer when and where YOU want it, rather than your limited to drive it how it's possible because of the limitation of the physics, in the case of iRacing.
Quote from The Moose :

Kunos>Niels Heusinkveld>DK

This I agree with but RF2 comes before Kaemmer.

But on that basis you should try Fórmula Truck and Game Stock Car 2013. They are on the 'must have' list for any hardcore sim enthusiast. If you value Heusinkveld as much as you say, you'll love them.
