Go Faster - 2 Gearbox & engine at game&track YT channel

just remember to implement it, that way after you are done implementing it the implementation will be correct

 

The car is much faster with proper tire pressure for cornering & proper gear ratio to take advantage to max torque for acceleration & max HP for top speed.

This make clearing gold with the BMW group A special event effortless.

 

500 to 1000 below max. torque? Or driving a big diesel?

 

@Aristoteles
-thanks for the vids. I watch them with great interest!
-i am setting up the alfa 155 dtm (similar like the benz in your vid). I often find myself being faster using only five of the six gears when dialing in the gearbox settings. (so not shortening the gearbox to match sixth at the end of the straight but keeping it in fifth there) Is this possible or am i doing something very wrong here? Also the car behaviour is much more easy to drive with only five (slightly) longer gears.
-keep them vids coming!

 

I think maybe a good option would be to also show the cars technical specs on the load screen, to me this is just wasted space. There is that little bit of info bottom right of the screen about in car controls, ABS, boost etc but the middle of the screen is blank. On triple screens my middle screen is empty the entire load process and this sort of info would be very welcome while waiting for the track to load I think.

Getting to the car info if running in an mp server means you need to find the car in the list, then click the little icon before joining a server so I rarely bother checking the data unless I find the car clearly losing power at higher rpm.

 

hummm why do it just cause its faster? i go for the best possible representation of rl and do everything exactly i would in the real thing, in search of immersion of course, exploiting stuff is horrible, i wish stefano fix that exploding the car gearbox into pieces beamNG style if anyone use that exploit even once hahahahaa, that would be great.
Open a issue/bug thread about it, would be cool ;-)

 

ROFL new ad to your signature !

 

This wasn't invented by simracers as an exploit, you can do it irl but your crew will probably hate you for doing it to their car.

 

I made a similar experience with these 6 speed H-patetrn DTM cars, and also often only used 5 of them gears.
My conclusion was that I loose more time on the gear changes when driving with 6 gears, then I make up with the shorter ratios.
In addition, clutching and blipping is quite stressful (for me^^) with these cars when using all 6 gears, and I tend to unsettle the car more.
So using 5 instead of 6 gear was often just as fast, or even little bit faster for me.

Of course, as I've just learned from watching this latest video, and also from reading this thread, that flat shifting would propably have helped me quite a bit.

 

Until I watched the video (sorry I did only just now) I've never seen this before and didn't even realise what you mean by it. Without declutch would it even work like that at all irl? I imagine you'd have to use brutal force to the stick and things would break in no time.

Some other question: when trying to downshift without declutch in AC there is always engine damage shown. Or at least for me it was almost impossible to get perfect timing and not getting damage when I tried. But with the flatshifting shown in the video nothing is happening? Or was damage or/and the displayer set to off? If I remember correctly, with using H-shifter and trying to flatshift without clutch there is also damage.

 

Ah ok, glad to hear that i am not the only one experiencing this.

 

@Aristotelis
it would be nice if you could add the power graph in the setup screen

 

THAT would be cool!

 

Yeah, as mentioned previously on occasion: More info about the car in the launcher/setup screen in general please. :/ Power graph, drivetrain layout, gearbox type, the info from the loading screen also on the setup screen and all that. Also a page about the track with the map and turns, turn names, DRS zones. Having it all right in-game to see would be great, more convenient & helpful than having to look things up on the net before a race.

 

yep but its not exactly faster irl..its just lazy shifting. if your clutch is broken its the only way to go. but it damages the gear box for some cars reall6 fast others reall6 slow.

 

For the last scenario, the Low speed turns, fast cars, lot's of torque, bad traction, Revs at 500 to 1000rpm (or even less needed) is correct? Is it should be Revs at 500 - 1000rpm above, lower, or around max torque or something?

And can you talk about the correct way to shift up? Also I heard there are many ways to shift up like, flat shift, or power shift. I mean really confused with these definition, would mind to explain these?

 

Flat shift and power shift are the same thing. It is shifting without easing off the throttle

The reason i brought it up was because you talking about the power graph in the video and that would make it easier to use, i didnt mean to make it a wishlist thread.

looking forward to the next episode already
