Is anyone else getting really slow loading times from the forum, website, lfsw and the master server? just loading the forum is taking 15-20secs when normally it around half a sec.
It's not the power you will but the extra weight will effect the balance of the car, you make struggle to keep r2s cool down because of the extra force going to the tyres, the balance of the df will be effect aswell so the extra 10kg does alot more then drop your power to weight ratio
Infact i was pushing the car to the limit in my stints but because the front tyres was so cold it was pointless in pushing upto the point i was going to end up in the wall, look at my last 3 laps at the end of the race and you will see my make the same mistake 3 times at the same corner but that was because of the front left tyre being so cold.
Well thats not my fault because i tryed about 6 different suspension configurations (even the front right psi was maxed out to keep the tyre temp down) before i gave up and went to r3 r3
Your saying that the balancing is fine now when the XRR is close to being 1sec faster on a single track when on other track it has been only afew tenths in difference? well i call bullshit and i can get more people agreeing with me if i wanted to because at the start of the season the MoE season the XRR had 25% but after 2 races the admin relooked at the gap between the FZR/XRR and thought it was just not fast enough to be competitive so we changed the restriction to 24% with 10kg added weight to bring it closer to the FZR but not to close that it would just walk away during pitstops, so if you think that 24% for the XRR is ok then fair enough but i know that the balancing is to far out to be called fair racing
Look again because i was running r3 r3 (had no choice because the fronts would cook if i ran r2s), if the admins had even done any testing with the current balancing they would know that the xrr had more of an advantage but because there lack off endurance knowledge they had no clue in what they was doing but instead use other leagues restrictions to make a guess of there own.
For example look at the R1 (Aston National) thats a track for the FZR to kickass on but instead the XRR had the better top speed and was faster in sector 1 but losted out in sector 2 because of the crappy turbo lag, when it came to the pit stops the XRR gained more then 5 secs.
At the last 2 rounds of the season the tracks will favour the FZR more but at AS7R the XRR will be on the pace if not faster because of been able to run r2s (all season aswell) and having the advantage in the pitstops, but since i know the admins don't give a crap any more they will just leave it alone.
The balancing of these cars need to be sorted out, the XRR has to much pace for the FZR to keep with it plus the XRR runs lighter on fuel and is much faster in the pits aswell.
Look at WE1 for example the fastest XRR laptime was almost 1sec faster then the FZR best laptime, this is why in MoE we have added weight to the car to stop it from having this advantage over a race distance.
I don't think Eric's work rate is the issue because no one has a clue how fast he can make tracks/cars without him telling us, my opinion is that Eric has plenty of work that could be made public but the final decision ends with Scawen on what gets released.
A percentage would be lot better then guessing on a time line until it's done but there will be people will still moan about not getting more info on S3 or what not.
Glad Germany are whooping England, hope Germany score more goals just to show how crap the world cup has been for us, England has one decent game in the whole tournament and they expect it to be acceptable which is just a joke so lets hope Germany score more goals just to show how to play in a World Cup.
This is the reason why i stick well clear of windows live because it's just got to much crap with it which are useless, switched to Miranda about a year ago and have not looked back since.
