Those who don't mind becoming sort of beta testers, can you try this track: http://www.rfactorcentral.com/detail.cfm?ID=Suzuka%20GP4
and make sure you put the attached suzuka TDF file in the locations\suzuka\suzuka-2005 dir (and use the 2005 track in game of course).
The other attachment is a completely adujstable car setup availeble for the Z06. A few other changes are: the tyres have 104% longitudinal grip vs lateral instead of 106%, and there is more engine braking and less toe by default. There simply *is* a small window where the car is neutral, but I guess its really easy to overshoot this 'sweet spot' and end up with under or oversteer. I don't see there ever going to be a way for the 'understeer complainers' to get the handling they like. To get the desired lift off behavior, one guy increased engine braking torque to be about 80% of the *engine power torque* which I cannot imagine at all. Perhaps you can run 160.000 rear rollbar and 80.000 front.. It really requires measurments that are not realistic to get the sort of behaviour quite a few people want, but try the attached adjustable version and see what sort of car you end up with hopefully more to your liking. Perhaps It'll lead to some clues to change the base setup, though within reasonable limits (you can go far beyond these limits with the adjustability here.. )
I am at a point with ISI's physics now that I can't see major improvements or changes being possible; though the sum of a few small changes can always be considerable. While there is a chance I'm not getting the most realistic experience from rFactor, I'd say its fairly close and it must be a combination of things like:
- not doing enough miles
- perhaps being a bit stuck in the GPL / LFS / other ISI type of driving style where you've learned to expect certain things that don't happen.
- the unlikelyhood of a decent road car to be oversteery at will
- the shortcommings of any physics engine (be that LFS/GPL/Rfactor)..
Anyways, you can now get your spanners out on the z06, if you'd like, and feel free to upload a few setups, I'll certainly be looking forward to the numbers you use..
