Ah ok! ya I hope it is freak case

Awesome

Good strategy. I like it. But I assume the IS_PIT packet be reset once the player is out of pitlane. But he still can be overtaken in the gap between leaving pits and rejoining the track, as he is still accelerating and not yet up to SC speed (right?). So there may still be false alarms. But this is an edge case IMO

Hi,

This may feel like a redundant post but it is not. What is the effect of the combination of ABS+Brake help. We have 4 scenarios for BH ON/OFF and ABS ON/OFF put together.

I tried straight line braking with these 4 scenarios in RB4, but could not conclusively find a difference. I somehow felt the BH OFF/ABS ON had reduced braking distance as opposed to BH ON/ABS OFF scenario. Probably coz ABS is more optimized than BH.

But what does the game do when both are ON, does it make the brake more conservative by adding up the effects of ABS and BH? or does both work independently using the feedback of grip levels etc and it is a case of whichever is faster kind of strategy?

Hi,

Is there a way to change font of the interface? I am asking this 'coz in the current font, a and o are very similar, making it difficult to read. It would be better to have a font whose a is like a in Times new Roman as opposed to the a in Century Gothic

Expected reply. For the record many do, I do, as a reference, and even many expert racers use it as a reference. And anyways its a feature so it has to work as expected hehee

Hi,

I have logged a bug which came up as a result of discussion. Same FXR is showing different racing lines/brake points. It is posted here http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=1658705#post1658705

I knew I could count on Daniel for this post Anyways I reproduced the bug. The steps are a bit different from my OP.

FXR @ AS5 GP chicane

1. First took FXR fresh. Saw brake point at GP chicane. It was late brake point, after turn in
2. Changed to XRR. GP chicane brake point seems to be same as FXR (this itself may be wrong)
3. Now changed again to FXR. Saw brake point at GP chicane. Brake point is much earlier, as if it was XRR(I think).

It seems like the change in brake point targetted at XRR happened when I changed back to FXR from XRR. As if there is a one step lag between changing cars and changing brake point/racing line.

See the attached pic.
1. Top half has fresh FXR with late brake points after 50 m mark of AS5 GP chicane
2. Bottom half has again FXR, but after changing to XRR and then changing back to FXR, with early brake points (probably that of XRR) much before the 50 m mark. In fact you see the brake point in the rear view mirror.

This could mean that the racing line/brake point shown is for the previous car we selected :O

Oh then how come it changed racing line(break points) for me when using different sets in same car? both sets have no handicaps. Both sets are standard FXR. Is it a bug? or an unintended feature ? :P

Aonio has this sound warning when cars are near, If Airio had such a thing then that could work too.

I was racing with FXR. First I used a set with minimum wings and long gear ratios. The brake points in the displayed racing line were conservative(early) due to the increased approach speed and lesser cornering ability I think. Then I used a set with more wings and shorter gear ratios. The brake points were more aggressive(late). Is the displayed racing line taking into account all the factors in the setup? like downforce, gear ratios etc. If that is the case, then it awesome. I just thought it adjusts line according to engine power/restrictions alone.

Wow, Silver, that is a geat elucidation

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

Really, who actually cares?

Lol, ironically, you care enough to come to this thread and post: "who actually cares?"

The last thing I want is another underpowered FWD. It is fine as it is IMO. But then again excited to know what is in store

Cool, got it

Is it because, you wanted to give enough weight to the hardwork gone into 4 days of pre-qual?

yeah no probs Also let me confirm this, except finalising the row for the heat winners and LCQ winners, others are ordered as per the pre-qual time, not the heat position. So it does n't matter if you are 2nd in heat or 7th in heat, am I right? One could be at no 7 in heat, but he may take position 5(row 2) if he is very fast in pre-quali right? Interesting

lol ?

Quote from TehPaws3D :

I'm in, For lulz, But i'm in.

As opposed to everyone else who are in it for serious purposes? LOLz

Quote from TFalke55 :

and what is wrong with 7x4+2? 7 from each heat and 2 from the LCQ.

Yes dude, there is nothing wrong with 7*4+2, that is the expected one, my point was about the changing the OP to 4 so that it becomes 7*4+2 That is why I asked "Shoud n't this be 4?"

Quote from teppo.jr :

Actually the new date is 10.12. its saturday but dindt find new friday to the race
But the next race is that FO8 race

Hey change the OP dude, now it is really confusing as to what dates, what servers etc

Happy B'day Scawen!

But what about someone spins under SC, and may be only 1-2 people pass him coz he was at the back 2-3 places? But according to me even a blind comparison is OK. False +ves by the tool is ok, admin can review it IMO. Main requirement is admin don't want to miss any cheeky overtakes under SC I think. The proposed solutions(even the simplest one above) should do the job IMO.

I am getting a déjà vu, I really hope this does n't become like [RASD] thread
