*bump*

what will be the next track. and when will the race be?

I don't think that I'll ever like this track.

Dunno if I can make it on time, but I'll try my best (read: Franky pays my speeding tickets).

See you flipping tomorrow

And can we finally introduce an agreement not to post in any kind of obvious stupid or similar threads?

I don't get why such things have to get any attention by you guys. Report and ignore it.

I personally think that Marrakech (or at least the track) are a bad choice (porto too for that matter). The 2nd race was a joke, I think we had like 3 actual green flag laps which I blame the layout and track width for.

Why not Kyalami if they want a race in Africa...

Oh for Bob's sake...

could you please stop and think about what you are posting?
Yeah sure, there was not evolution since S1. Pit stops, fuel consumption, tire wear, new tracks, clear windows and insim updates (and all the other stuff) aren't worth mentioning at all and didn't add anything to the game play.
I really don't understand you. Scawen is trying to do his very own tire model and thats really not something you do in a few weeks with just coffee or else (and the Ballmer peak isn't a real option) especially when you keep in mind that he hasn't an engineering degree. Give him some credit for trying it and actually taking the time to find a proper solution instead of just trying to botch something together.

I'm not saying that I'm happy with everything when it comes to releasing stuff, but it's not nothing that I wasn't aware off when buying LFS ages ago.

As far as I understood the original post the question was about a simple solid axle with 2 different wheel sizes. If you move that axle at very slow speeds (stationary) you should be able to ignore the friction / slip issues. And there was nothing said about steering

edit: Dreisprung, i havent seen such a horrible documentation in years

fffuuu, it's exactly how it's supposed to be.

r_b = radius of the big wheel
r_s = radius of the small wheel (or r_i)
l_w = distance between the wheels
r_c = distance between inner wheel and corner middle point

=>
u_b = 2*pi*r_b
u_i = 2*pi*r_i

r_c = ( ( l_w * u_b) / (u_b - u_i) ) - l_w

If I'm not mistaken. Sadly my scanner ain't working so there is no drawing.

Quote from The Moose :

I've all but given up on even trying to race the 1600 on public servers. It's numpty hell out there.

Well, then it's not a good way to promote the multiplayer

It would be nice if someone could post a setup for the 1600.

Also I tried the multiplayer yesterday and after several attempts I actually made it to a server and really connected... Felt a bit like a normal Blackwood T1 (a couple of years ago) as I never made it past the 2nd corner witout being used as emergency brake. Too bad it was the only (!) busy demo server.

see you there

I think i actually even could enjoy nkp driving at this point (apart from the whole HMI design), but sadly I'm not interested in single seaters...

Quote from blackbird04217 :

Well, I haven't touched NetLar Pro for a long time, but I find that it is still as annoying as it always has been - sure the G25 has 900* of rotation, but if the car does not have 900* of rotation it should automatically compensate for that, LFS does this fine, I didn't notice a problem when I tried out iRacing for a month, and rFactor adjusts as well, however to make a simple turn in NetKar I need to turn the G25 207* left or right. I've played with all settings, and they don't have an effect that I can actually see.

this seems to be finally fixed in 1.1, at least i had no probs with my g27.

Is it just me or is the sound (loudness) difference between engine and tires a bit off? (I'm refering to the video link posted above)

meh... shouldn't have started this. need an exam free head...

Actually I'm not sure yet if I will race as I have an important exam on tuesday which has a higher priority for me.

Well, sunday is the race... has anyone done some laps yet?

Quote from Rudagar :

With regards to Alonso using the throttle to shift down. How does this work? I mean, he's braking as normal but dabbing the throttle to downshift, why is this? To rev match?

Could be rev matching if it was a manual gearbox and not just some electronics gadgets waiting for an electricial signal to do their job. So maybe it is a backup system to tell the e-helpers to do the rev matching when there is no correct signal comming from the clutch.

No idea how accurate this is:

The Hamilton maneuver was hard on the border, but it was no way a DT. He got a warning for that and thats enough, considering he wasn't actually blocking Petrov, he was trying to get him out of the draft.

Anyway, big Kudos to Hamilton for passing again some cars where others seem to fail. Ferrari had to wait till the moving roadblock Alguersuari went into the pits to get by (this should set Schumachers Melburne performance to a better light). But overtaking seems to be still nearly impossible if you keep in mind that Hamilton got stuck behind Sutil and Massa / Alonso behind Button but were nearly 2 secs faster when they had a free track...



Also there was no single pass in the top 5 drivers... Red Bull being in a league on their own but with the usual safety gap between the cars, Rosberg boring but efficient behind etc. Could have been closer without the McLaren / Ferrari fail yesterday, but I somehow doubt it would have changed much on the result after lap 5...

Btw, Ferrari build quality being italian this season again? I think that were 3 engines being killed.

and some more parts for my car...

Actually I think that some off road action could be fun. It would definatly be something very different from the usual racing.
