About IntGT DLC & Release 1.3

The new start procedure is a nightmare, haven't had one decent session since it's implementation.
The 'more aggression than talent' mob are more ambitious than ever, it's carnage.
I don't think ghosting has any place in a sim either.

 

And your proposed solution is...?

 

I prefer the new start procedure compared to the limiter as it stop drivers breaking away or backing up the pack whilst playing silly games.. The only little problem I have is with the horizontal speed bar. It fluctuates and drops off rapidly so I end up over speeding from panic when trying to get back to 60 kph. I think it will become more familiar over the next coming weeks. Maybe there needs to be some fine tuning here and there however the concept is good.. Of course we would all love full manual starts like we do have in league racing however I am afraid this would only lead to more chaos and frustration.

 

There’s the ideal world and there’s public multi-player. I think the idea is much improved over the limiter. I’ve only had a couple of starts, where a large proportion of the field got DTs (before hot fixes), but what happens if someone from the back decides to drive through the grid, do they get a DT or a DQ?

 

The incredible fake news generation.

 

This lap around Bathurst in the NSX is insane, an absolute barnstorming sector 2...

Perhaps if the formation lap lasted 50-100m longer, it would give people more time before the start to settle into the pace.

 

For sure.. Been asking about a quarter lap procedure for a while..

 

this is just incredible
flatout from the cutting until skyline? crazy.
in the AMG i'm struggling a lot in the fast corners...

 

I agree.
Anyway, private servers are free to choose which type of procedure to use.
The community where I am racing is going to use the new system for next event.
Only tried it ones and got a DF, because in the confusion trying to figure out what's going on with the UI I forgot to start the car.
My solution:
- DF or SG depending how much for overtakes during formation lap.
- Limited top speed for pole, penalized with DT or SG depending how much he exceeds it.
- of track cars don't count.
- count down to teleport to pits for not moving cars.

 

I know right? Zero lift, the precision is amazing throughout that sector.

 

Would like his car setup

 

Drove 3 laps each on Bathhurst and Suzuka. Bathhurst is a great drivers track, but I cant imagine it being good for online races. I just foresee havoc in the hill section.

Suzuka is a great track with so many personal memories for me. Schumacher punching his wheel, winning his first for Ferrari back in 2020 ("We did it, we did it!"). And then Jean Alesi in his last year missing out on the opportunity to be the only one that year to finish each and every race. Driving a Jordan, he collected an unfortunate young talent named Raikkonen in his Sauber. Quite the violent crash. Then there's Fisichella losing out on a win in the final laps to a charging Raikkonen in his McLaren...

Don't get to race much ACC these days (health issues as well as lack of time), but what I do race is still great. This DLC was an instabuy, no doubt about it.

Havent tried the new start mechanic yet, but I hope it's better than the previous one. I really disliked that some people (not sure how) could jump positions on the formation lap already...

 

I reckon I'd still be 7 seconds off that pace with it

 

Same here but I would also be 5 seconds faster than I am now too, lol.

 

Before the limiter killed the immersion and now it's the ghosting thing. I really don't understand why it's not enough when you need to hold your line and follow the car ahead with the leader having some sort of speed limit he shouldn't exceed. What do I overlook here?

 

With the old system many times noobs crashed into me because I waited for the car im front of me to start. You couldn't avoid this stupid move but got SA penalty and car damage.
With the new system this is sorted out.

 

I couldn't agree more, it only matters when you need it (people spinning and blocking the rest of the field, pre start damage and people not getting off the line). We have a system that doesn't p***s off anybody without autodrive or speed limiters, it keeps the field together and you actually need to react to the green lights. We also have the option for 100% realistic start for private servers that are moderated and where people generally behave better.
I think we just need to practice and the devs will fine tune it but the system is good IMO

 

The competency (or will) of the average sim racer to hold their line and follow the car ahead!
