Hi Bob,

no, i was just experimenting with the formulas that I found in the textbooks and tried to apply real values (damping rates, spring stiffness, mass) to it and the only source that I could find was LFS that contained this information. But then I found that the damping ratios of road cars in LFS (that I calculated) deviate from the real road cars according to those textbooks.

I use this tool, but it's only LFS cars there. Where can I get the input files of other cars?

According to most of textbooks the damping ratios of the road cars should be 0,2-0,3. However most LFS road cars have the ratios that are greater than 0,7 which corresponds to a racing car. Are these default LFS setups actually the setups for racing?

Unfortunately I can't find the damping characteristics of the shock absorbers for the road cars. Does anybody have some numerical values?

to quote my lebanese colleague while he was trying his best to piss of a lithuanian
"3 million people? and you have a coutnry for that? thats a village where im from"

Lebanon has a population of 5 million people. Its capital is smaller than Lithuania's. Even if it was, I don't see a point why it should piss someone off

Miserable man

Quote from tristancliffe :

Faultless? I wouldn't say that. Despite having the quickest car at Korea, he simple managed to hold up Webber and Button who were both faster and kinder to their tyres. Kudos to him for not crashing into anyone all weekend, which is very rare these days, and kudos for defending very well, but I wouldn't call still being unable to really manage tyres is 'faultless'.

Button wasn't even close to Webber and couldn't manage the tyres any better

Quote from sinbad :

Dozens of cars approached that corner at the very highest speed and in traffic, with no problem at all. You can't put a lapse in concentration down to a small speed differential caused by DRS. He was simply so focused on outbraking Alonso that he braked too late.

Alonso missed the braking point too

Quote from tristancliffe :

But in Canada, Hamilton put himself between Jensin and the wall knowing Jenson wouldn't be able to see and that the normal racing line would mean the gap would disappear. That's why Canada was 100% Hamilton's fault.

How could he have known that maybe he is a visionary? And how Jenson wasnt able to see since every cars has mirrors?
If you truly believe in what you are saying then I feel very sorry for you.

Quote from Juzaa :

Button's fastest lap was 0.4 seconds faster than Vettel's fastest lap in Spa's race and Hamilton's speed in quali with a damaged car just shows Mclaren was probably faster than RBR

Mclaren was faster but still the fastest lap was set by Web with RBR? Cool story bro

Quote from Juzaa :

So far Vettel has had ONE (1!) fastest lap of the race where Webber, Button and Hamilton all have several fastest laps of the race. So Vettel's performance hasn't actually been that much about speed but consistency. In qualifying Vettel has driven fast but in races he's not been the fastest but rather the most consistent driver.

Why would you like to push your car to the limit while being in the 1st position? Your argument is so invalid

tristan and juzza, "how about a nice hot cup of STFU" ?

I think in real life they have differentials and other stuff that helps to avoid wheel spin (more or less) but in BF1 the power is transmitted rigidly to the wheels so driving without TC would be a blast

You can also say goodbye to your driving license if you bike drunk.

I ride my bike drunk constantly :drunk:

Quote from tristancliffe :

Hamilton has deserved every penalty he's ever had. In fact, I'd go so far as to say he's got away with a lot more things than he should have, not just in F1.

You have some acute fractal wrongness syndrome

u dont need to see your car in the mirror's

LFS mirrors show incorrect view anyway

the mirrors in this gaame are inadequate to park a car you can't see the side of the car

Why did Webber turn the wheel to the right after hitting a wall? ? I can't believe its not intentional

Webber is too old to race if he can not react to rapid changes in the track. Too many mistakes too many troubles for others.

Quote from NSX_FReeDoM :

A very good video of Vettel's defending/overtaking style. He has a tendency to squeeze other drivers to his right. (remind me of a certain seven times champion)

If I owned the redbull team i would get rid of those 2 loosers
Vettel tried to block Hamilton in the turkey but hamilton avoided the contact while Webber perhaps is too old to react to a stupid maneuver form Vettel

I believe that there is someone who created this Universe but it stands above all the religions which we created to govern our lives.

Quote from aoun :

I think Badoer has been judged harshly..

..from people who dont race cars...



...


..logical aye?

woops, forgot i was on the internet.. ;p

I am not judging him at all, I don't care
but this was a funny situation: he bumped another car and took the wheel of before shuting down the engine
