Hello world

[Muroc]hannu, hannu

parking in front of a fast looking car, blinking head lights and yelling:

"may I try your set?, perhaps that will make my Punto faster..."

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.

Quote from dev :

Yes, thats because of the long straight.... Try the same thing on a track where no car can hit its max speed. I doubt the xrt will be the fastest...

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.

i might be wrong thou

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.

Quote from JTbo :

Hmm, I wonder if he is relative to Sanna Pinola (2001 Nordic F3 Champion)
Pinola s do have something in blood as always very successful in motorsports

nop she aint related to me anyway.

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.

oki I had to give it another go

1:23.59




there is still some time to catch...

this sounded fun and I had to try so...

1:24.27

Dave you sure know how to make terrible sets

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.
