Sure i had this exact same problem when i went from combined to split axis in the Xmas holidays.

Just use DXTweak2. This worked a treat for me

Sim Dad of 2 here

My son is 7 and he's been PC gaming since he was 3. He isnt really simming yet ie LFS but he is pretty mean at DZ on 1nsane. My 9 year old Daughter is also an 1nsaniac although all she is playing atm is the sims 2

My sons had a go on LFS many times but he hasnt really got the hang of braking without using the walls. Too much Burnout i guess illepall I have seen him finish less than a lap down on a 20 lapper at Tona on Nascar 2k3 now i think of it so i guess i was unfair on him above when i said he isnt simming yet

Punt me a copy of the survey when its ready.

Many Congratulations Scawen and Geraldine

Really envy you working from home to catch all of those little things you miss while away at work.

Wat more could a man need! LFS latest build on his PC, A fine woman to look after him and a son to enjoy it with in the future

For me it was on the radar but my non alien status prevented me from looking in to it more. Im regretting this now as we have held much practice on the dSRC servers for these FXO races and ive had a lotta fun and not done too bad tbh.

I shoulda known this as after hating the FXO in S1 it has been my TBO car of choice in S2 so far. (RIP S1 RB4 :guilty: ) and ive even managed to get in the top 10 on the FXO rank in HLVC.

I will certainly look more into the future leagues altho i like others have been baffled by the ESL site.

Quote from Gentlefoot :

Grivage - thanks mate - didn't have time to look at the replay last night but I guess that's the answer. So infact the rear right lasted 37 laps and the rear left lasted 48 laps.

Right rear yes 37 laps, The Left rear was changed at the first stop so it lasted 28 laps. Not as long as you would think but it took a pounding from the 1st blowout spin, the roll on lap 44 and a few excursions to the grass which caused the back end to step out a little more towards the end of its life.

Quote from theafro :

Unfortunately this dosen't quite work, i'm damn sure that LFS takes an average rather than reading the lowest part , what you describe was exactly what i had done, but LFS didn't seem to pick up the flatspots, increasing front bias is problematic too, you'll loose the dynamic balance required for some corners (the ones with awkward/curvy braking zones) and it seems that the only way to go is to change all you're tyres, even if the rears look good for another stint, like i said before, tyre wear (especially on the rear) seems to increase exponentially as they wear/cool, thus making predicting wear a little hit & miss

Like i said not perfect but how i approach most races, although at dSRC most long races we run are only 1 hour so usually only 1 stop. After thinking a little more on this i prolly would of just set it to always as you rightly say better to lose some time rather than a lap of puncture fun

Ok i havent finished watching it all yet but it doesnt change the Right Rear at the first stop but does change the Left Rear.

I can only presume that an incident or as discussed above the inside wheel going light and locking easier has caused the left to show as more worn than the right even tho the right is obviously taking much more load around the oval.

Im guessing that something similar may happen at the next stop but the left rear will not be changed and a similar result may occur.

[Edit]Yup was right about the Left rear not being changed but also the spin you had caused by the 1st blowout did a lot of damage to the Left rear although not enough for it to be changed. I'd say you were unlucky tbh[/Edit]

[2nd EDIT] lol the roll on lap 44 also doesnt help the tyre situation tbh scrubs some more of that sucka [/Edit]

[Final EDIT] lotsa dirt on the tyres and scrubbing it off wore out the left rear along with the incidents mentioned above. Was a thoroughly enjoyable race to watch Even at the last stop it only changed 3 tyres so you were lucky in one respect after all the spins on the pit in lap to finish. You need to adjust your pit strategy with regard to the tyre wear. I know this will be changed in future but obviously this doesnt help you now.

The way i work it is this. for the first stop i woulda had the tyre value at 30 percent. for a third of the race it would change only the tyres which will not last to the end. Assuming as in this case it changes the lot the next one i would adjust it to 50 percent as this applies the same principle but only since the last tyre change. Not fool proof by any means as it assumes consistent driving etc etc but to date hasnt let me down yet.

Hope this is all clear [/Edit]

Did it definitely change the rear tyres at each pit stop?

If so it does sound quite strange. Would be nice to see a replay if someone has it? Only that will give us the full situation and hopefully an explanation.

Ah yes the Silence.

The only noise is that of the forum tearing each other apart .

Just like the good ol S1 days waiting for S2 illepall.

The Explanation - Scawen is prolly workin 14 hours a day concentrating on coding Physics and does not wish to be interrupted.

Ladies and Gentlemen - I call on u to STFU and let the man do his stuff .

I won't tell it because there were some team members who promised to do some naasty things on me if I happen to slip it out. But I like pain! :haha: :yummy:

Be afraid, BE VERY AFRAID
