I am impressed, however , that you're brave enough to post about not knowing what most 6 year old sim racers take for granted. There is courage mixed with extreme retardation there. If t'was me, I'd keep schtum.

Tristan, I've simraced for >10 years and never done anything to setups, nor understand anything other than making them terrible

I'm kinda the same. Not much interest in setups therefore limited in knowledge. I'm happy just to enjoy driving (preferably in a car that doesn't need a lot of setting up). Either way I understand that I'll probably be slower than someone who puts in the hard work. Again, just like real life.

Wow.. cheers buddy, silly me I've always had you in my 'cool people on lfs forum' list..

I actually can't comprehend, how people find my posts as 'whining', baffles me lol.
The length some of you go to prove some non-existing point, offend people etc, is astonishing.

I ask, politely, if someone can drive a combo with default setup, to see how i compare with you, and for some reason i get abuse and rage lol.. this forum was much friendlier place.

Yeah, I have to admit it's a time thing on my end.

From 2004 to 2008 I used to have a clue what basic setup adjustments did instinctively and now days if I sit and simply think what a certain thing should do (IE what if I lower the ARB front or rear), after a second or two I recall/work out what that would do.

My real issue with setups (read: why I'm not fast and find it difficult to work out why) is that to be totally honest, I drive the stock setup and have a hard time sorting out WHY the car won't go quicker the way I drive it.

What I mean is that by the time I learn the car, and the track enough to be remotely competitive, I've learned bad habits based on the stock setup and can drive THAT SETUP at a decent pace. But from that point I don't have the knack to figure out what trade-offs I could make to make a faster total lap. So even though I could work out what the basic things do, I'd sit there and ponder "well, I understeer here, but I oversteer there quite often... which one do I really need to fix and why?"

Then someone gives me a "fast" setup and it takes me a while to get back to where I was most of the time.

Back in the day when I drove every single night, I found it challenging but not overly difficult to get to 101% WR or 101.5%... But I did find it frustrating that the only way to do that was to DL the WR set (which was unrealistic to the point of being silly often times which I had to grin and bear) and drive enough laps to figure out the proper way to wrestle it around the track in barbaric fashion.

I didn't see anything overtly wrath provoking in your posts in the last few pages but I suspect it's based on "past performance"

For what it's worth I do sort of understand what you're getting at.

However, if I ever get the gumption to actually put the effort in (as Tristan alluded to ) I know there's lots of resources to help me with it

that F40 :chair:

I actually have to defend Boris here, as we are in same boat. Just because we want to drive the stock setup and see how fast we and others can go does not make us whiners. It does however show that we don't have the knowlege to be up with the elite, but thats ok for me. I just want to focus on the actually driving, alltho I understand that setups is a big part of game.

I for certain will not read books about it, mainly because it is not in my interest

So does that make us bad drivers? No. Lazy yes.
In real life racing, exactly how much of the setup does the drivers themself know ans choses to change? Or do they just drive and give feedback to their mechanics which then setups the car after the drivers imput?

Good point Tor; my mediocre performance is not my doing: I need my own setup engineer

Haha! If only I think my mediocre performance is not the setups fault (alltho I could wish) ;p

yet another skin, this time a lotus

How big is the skins? Would it be possible to put them all in one winrar file? If not, superb reupload

they are about 4mb each, i leave them separate in case i want to change part of the skin i can do so without messing with the others.

Sounds reasonable Thanks! Love the yellow/white ferrari!
