I'm getting annoying crashes with RBR... most often it happens at the start of a stage when the camera is panning around the side of the car. The whole PC completely freeses, and the sound plays a continous loop. I have to manually reset the PC, and the game doesn't write a crash dump...

Are you using it on a hard surface? NEVER use a laptop on a bed for example!

Me me, but when / where?

Edit: I vote for BL1 as I have a race there soon.

Yeah exactly. 30 fps is pretty good at the back of a full AI grid (cpu limited).

Won't be making this one. I like the old LX's too much, and I'm in an LX race tonight.

Agreed, the new BMW looks awesome.

Nothing wrong with doing that shaun, but give the original guy credit, i.e. saying I got this from http://www.overclock.net/graph ... d-ranking-3rd-time-s.html .

Quote from Rooble :

Ray has only done one 38.97 with the XRR and you lot can already do mid 38's, how is this fair or balanced? I think jonesy has only done 39.0X too.

We could do mid 38's with no added weight. With added weight, it is bloody hard to even get close to 38's.

I looked at the chart Appie. Seems that the FZR and XRR would now be perfectly balanced if the stints were to be the same length. However, the XRR can do 4 more laps, without really going much over 2:40, which is obviously an advantage.

But we all now have to use R3's... and it's 60Kg less actually mate

Well, if that's the case, then the FZR is nowhere, because in eTM (patch X) the fastest FZR was low 38, and there is no way you can match that now with R3's...

Do you think someone could do stats of the testrace please? Thanks

Edit: Yeah, Ray it was a bit disappointing to only see 2? FZR GT1's finish...

Edit 2: Yes, it's strange to see such a small amount of weight make a difference, but it really does. BTW my best first split was 44.76 iirc.

+1 for RAC

I think the Mclaren has been the best looking car in F1 for a few years now by miles.

I vote for an S1/S2 only private forum.

Named after me.. Built for me..

"Differential - There are several different types of differential. Locked, open, clutch pack LSD, viscous LSD
Locked differential - Both wheels rotate at the same speed in all situations. In general this gives 100% power to the road, with the drawbacks of corner entry (lift off) understeer, and corner exit (power on) oversteer.
Open differential - Each wheel is free to rotate independently. In general this gives corner entry oversteer, and corner exit understeer.
Clutch pack LSD - The power setting controls how much locking percentage is applied when power is being transmitted from the engine. The coast setting controls how much locking percentage is applied when the engine is producing a braking effect. The preload specifies the minimum torque difference between the two wheels required for them to rotate independently. A setting such as 800 Nm therefore results in the differential behaving like a locked differential in most situations.
Viscous LSD - The higher the setting, the stronger the relationship is between the two driven wheels."

Was indeed very good fun again.

Quote from Bawbag :

I just ask that someone fraps there 1.36 time to see where I can make my 8 seconds.

+1

Quote from Bawbag :

The XRR used to equal the pace of the FZRs for the first 2/3s of the stint, then the FZR seems to have some advantage and can pull a few faster laps than the XRR. Now though, the gap is allready there from the start of the stint and no doubt the gap gets even bigger by the end.

From what I've found so far the R3's are really crap at the end of the stint (cold), and it's a bit of a struggle (FZR).

You guys clearly must be taking the wrong routes, or using the other cars rather than the standard liana.

I've still got lots of catching up to do.

Quote from danowat :

Interesting.......

I don't think it makes that much difference to your laptimes, and I'm trying to get into a habit now of lifting a little to keep the clutch nice and strong (especially in other cars).

Seriously, what the hell. You don't need to turn the wheel half as much as that to take corners in the LX6. You have no argument.

Here is a proper lap: 1:19.620

If you look on the hotlap charts, the XRR and FZR both using R2's for a qualifying like lap, are 0.65 seconds apart.

In the race both cars will use R3's. So why should the gap suddenly jump to around 1.5 seconds a lap?

FZR : 2:37.840
XRR : 2:38.490

I have no problem with balancing but only if it's fair.

Edit: Yes Dreaf, in patch X (where we agree the cars were nicely balanced) Jonesy's fastest race lap in eTM was 2:38.85, and Nils was 2:38.08 in the FZR. That's nearly 0.8 seconds difference.
