there was few guys including me that suffered from this thing. at the start of the race there was somehow an extra passenger added in and in my case also my gear rations were totally messed. i didnt had changed anything in the set.
replay attached follow the start at H. Pinola car.
yes i agree but these 3 cars are totally different from eachothers so you can never get them within 0.1sec on all tracks. rb4 may dominate on shorter courses like SO3 sprint but if there is heavy accelerations and long straights xrt is gonna own there.
i just picked this track coz i had pretty good sets for all these cars plus there is tighter part of the track and then a long staight.
I may have been a bit unclear there when i said xrt is the dominant. but on bl1r it is I think.
made a little test aroung blackwood rev on TBO class. Did about 10 laps on each car and 30% fuel.
with rb4 and xrt the difference isnt huge from previous patch but fxo is about 1 slower that it used to be.
Extra mass doesnt affect on xrt enough and its topspeed is fastest from these 3. with xrt and rb4 i managed to get about 0.3sec from my pb but fxo toke me more than 1 sec away form my best. this test was made on sets for previous patches.
i think xrt is the dominant one now mostly coz the top speed. fxo and rb4 were ecual i think.
watched the replay and quite odd behaviour indeed. maybe scawen could add some feature that gives automatic ban for person who sents exactly same message for lets say 3 times in a row? or something. thou its tricky when you have exactly same names when racing on demo side. it gives a bad puplicity when you meet such a retarded person on demo.
i like the idea of adding passenger(s) in fxo to make it less dominant but i have no idea if it needs some coding or something to make it work. i doubt that fxo drivers would voluntarily add extra weight.
2nd place in qualis and i was really looking towards to race blackman. first race lap was a mess once again from me. in T1 i had a little touch to blackmans back and we both lost some positions. at the end of first lap i ran wide and touched wall pretty heavily causing some damage to my left side.
at the begining me and blackman were driving quite even laps times but around 10th lap i started losing some time for over trying and gap grew over 10 secs. at that point i was considering a pit stop since i wansnt able to reach the leader and had those first lap damages slowing me down but i forgot that tought witch was very lucky decison when blackman had to pit on the last lap.
very sorry for blackman losing sure victory. he was way faster than i was in this race. merry x-mas to all and happy holidays!
dunno why but i kinda suck often on first lap. maybe due to cool tyres or the extra presure from other drivers. but anyways lost my first place to Prophet and waited his mistakes about 7 laps and finally got trought. rest of the race was again just staying between the two white lines. too bad that prophet got disconnected and lost 2nd place.
race was pretty easy for me. Got some gap between me and Blackman at the first lap and that 5.5 sec was enough space so i consentrated to keep the car between the walls.
im not sure im allowed to sent that set I used since it's actually Paps' set. Paps will propbly read this some day and he can sent the set if he wants to.
im not sure if this has been notised already but is the start lag increased since test patches? or is it just me. And if it is caused by test patches then could it be fixed in future. i find it irritating when you have no time to react if the guy infront of you desides not to move when lights go green.
first of all i dont blame anyone for causing the crash on first lap but 3 cars side by side is always a huge risk atleast in such a narrow track and with cool tires. And what comes to my driving there i almost hitted paps already on the turn before the crash because i had ran wide on chicane and got dirt on my tyres. I still had dirt on my tyres when the incident happened so i think i should have braked earlier and could have awoid the crash this way.
Anyways rest of the race was fun and full of good fights.
