Must be a particularly bad problem with the BF1. I compete in 75 minute races in the FOX regularly and although I do get damage from bottoming out, the damage doesn't show at all in F10 and the only way I know I've got it is the extended pit time if I have damage repair turned on.
Pretty sure none of the FO8 drivers in the GFC have had the problem either.
I would be willing to discuss any offers of sponsorship. Amount could be a small monthly sum to cover the servers. Maybe £20 per month or something. PM me if you are interested.
No - just fed up with being taken for a complete mug. I don't see why I should spend 20 hours a week running it and spend hard earned cash on servers and a host when all bar one of my members are too tight to contribute 3.3 pence per day towards the running costs (£1 per month) which is all I was asking for.
Or make any other effort by producing race reports or videos. I am expected to do it all.
Ofcourse there are some exceptions and I again thank my members who have made contributions.
The GTTC and GFC races on the 22nd June will be the final races run by gentlefoot.com. If you would like to experience dual class racing this will be your last opportunity.
Owing to the fact that gentlefoot.com has been unable to find a sponsor and because members refuse to donate even small amounts to cover the running costs of the servers and the web host it is with regret that I have taken the decision to stop running these leagues.
The last of the Challenge events will be held on 22nd June 2008.
There will be no judicial review process available for incidents in these final races.
My main point was that not all servers even have ban enabled. You must have noticed that I don't post on many threads these days. So surely my motivation is not just advertising my league and site (but since you give me the opportunity www.gentlefoot.com
I no longer need to drive grids numbers up by regular postings in the forum. I seem to get big grids now simply through search engine referrals and teams sites.
On the Gentlefoot.com#1 and gentlefoot.com#2 servers we rarely have wreckers. It's so rare in fact that vote bans are not enabled. A number of my memebers know the admin password and they are under strict instruction to only issue bans once the replay has been reviewed (unless the admin was watching the incident in its entirety).
So come join us on gentlefoot.com#1 for FO8 action. No bans, no wreckers, just friendly racers who share sets and work at improving everyone's skills including their own.
At the last GTTC race we had 30 entrants for qualifying but one fella had to leave before the race so we were down to 29 for the grid.
In the GFC we had 24 cars on the grid.
So, if you are thinking about entering the next race at Kyoto National (many drivers favourite) you'd better get your entries in now as I think we may well fill both grids for this one.
Hope to see one or two new faces there on Sunday 8th June.
Wheel comp at 1 just means the amount of lock added is a bit more consistent.
Yeah - I change the rotation for different cars. But I nearly always drive the FOX. I would use these settings for any single seater but tend to increase the rotation for road/gtr cars.
Well, generally my PBs are about half a second off WR pace over a long lap. On shorter circuits I can generally get within 2 or 3 tenths.
Again, not strictly true. Have a look at the race results for the last two rounds of the GFC races (rounds 2 and 3). You can see all the race results here:
You can see by the lap-by-lap results that the fox winners of both these races were running pretty close to WR (within half a second allowing for full fuel tanks) consistently for approximately 75 minutes. In both these races the eventual winners drove at this pace for the full 75 minutes without error.
That is the standard that is required to win races in the GFC nowadays.
well definately the power diff locking and whether the inside rear wheel is spinning or not is a combination of both things. When the inside wheel spins up the steering FFB kicks less than when both wheels are spinning but also you get the visual input of the back sliding more when both rears light up. In addition the sound of the revs rising and how it behaves is also a very big indicator of the amount of diff lock.
Front rebound I can only setup by feel through the FFB. It's all clonky and horrible when there isn't enough. If there is too much you deaden the feedback (and also understeers off curbs and stuff which is visual mainly).
FFB gives me very good feedback as to whether the car is too stiff at the back or not. If it is the steering feels very light.
FFB is fine. I can tell when the front is sliding. I can also tell when the rear begins to slide. I can even tell the difference between one of the rear wheels spinning up or both of them.
From FFB I can tell if I don't have enough front rebound.
The FFB and other sensory information in LFS is so good that I can tell whether I need a touch more front bump damping, more front spring rate or more front ARB and these situations ALL feel different.
But then I have been playing this game for 3 years and so I have become used to the feedback it gives.
How long have you been playing? You may just need more time to get a feel for it.
So the TT is badly organised? Or the NW200? Or every WRC Rally?
Spectators are killed all the time in these events.
Was Le Mans badly organised when 77 people were killed in the 1955 event?
Motorsport is dangerous. There are signs all around all the circuits telling you this. If you choose to stand on the exit of a corner at the point of understeer you do so at your own risk.
Agree - road tyres won't give you enough grip for the rollover. In the XFR it happens all too easily even with a race set. Just clip a curb with a bit of steering lock on and over you go.
