Black cat county short+991 Carrera S+street tyres+98% grip=sublime!!

I think Black cat would be even more exciting if it were only 2 lanes wide. As it stands limiting yourself to driving in just two lanes dramatically improves the driving experience on this course. I really love the RSR although the 991 on streets is simply the most delicious experience I've ever had in a driving simulator.

Don't forget to hang out a proper drift at the large constant radius corner halfway through! Perfection!

 

I agree, AC has many great road cars so it needs more real roads! On Racedepartment I found this "Pacific Coast" track, a point to point road on the sea. The project has just started so there's not much more than road and mountains (and balloons ) but I tried it with track grip set to "dusty", with the Cayman on street tires and TC off and it was super fun. Also for a more hardcore experience try the 488 GTB with TC off..

Pacific coast looks promising for sure !

 

I just did this tonight! Though I think (and this is blasphemy as a Porschephile) I may have enjoyed it more in the 458.

Also, sorry, for the stupid question, but what do you mean by "98% grip"? Setting the track to "green" instead of "optimal"?

 

I created my own track grip entry in the tracks.ini file which I configured to be locked at 98%. The Session Start entry determines the grip level apparently. For whatever reason it has to be an increment higher than the grip level you want. So if you want 98% grip the entry has to be 99. Perhaps a track builder could shed light on this and the other entries. Whats cool about adding your own track grip entry and placing it beneath the "Optimum" grip entry is that your preferred grip level is always selected when you start a race.


[PRIME]
SESSION_START=99
SESSION_TRANSFER=99
RANDOMNESS=0
LAP_GAIN=0
DESCRIPTION=98 percent grip

 

911 Carrera S with street tyres is worth driving anywhere. Wonderful car!

 

This!I almost never drive BCC because is so wide much better street experience is with mod tracks like Lake Luise,Alps,Coste...
And yes after testing the 911 S & cayman S first day of Pack I wasnt impressed but more I drive the more I like them Cayman is great fun with manual gearbox.So now they are one of best street cars in game to me (with 1Ms3,M4,Italia,488,Adventador SV etc...)
LOL now I see I didnt even tried those 2 with street tires.Today

 

Maybe because your session transfer is also 99, so when you change to next session it transfers 99% of the grip you set which is also 99% so it gives you 98% in the end. But I think that should happen only when changing session to next one, not when actually starting a new one. Might be wrong though, never tested it like that.

With file set like this:

[x 96]
SESSION_START=96
SESSION_TRANSFER=100
RANDOMNESS=0
LAP_GAIN=0
DESCRIPTION=96

This:

is not true, as I always have 96%. Or just change session_start to whatever grip you want and it will start with that grip level.

 

Thank you for the info! I originally had the session transfer at 100 but when the session start was at 98 the grip level display as 97. I will have to test it out again using your recommendations! Thanks again !

 

Take Black cat down to 2 lane highway and it would be much more interesting and challenging. Although racing on it would be considerably more difficult for most folks, lol

I long for a point to point desert highway or coastal highway course. Until one arrives Black cat will do.

 

I set the session start at 98 and the session transfer at 100. Once on track the grip level displays as 97%. I changed the session start back to 99 and now the track displays a 98% grip level. I must be doing something wrong. Hmmmmm

 

That's just a rounding bug. If you have an app that shows digits behind the decimal point, it'll say 98.0%. The car physics dev app also shows 0.980 for DYN_TRK.

 

Ahhhh ok cool. Thanks for the info !!

 

Ohhhh my now this is what I've been wanting. The road width and turns are perfect. I would love a desert canyon version like this!
