    To me it feels like you're pointing the car towards the apex way too early. This isn't a bad thing in chicanes in general. But I think it might be a bit too extreme resulting in you having to turn too much.
    And practice trail braking, please.
    As an example, I have a lap of Bathurst, watch the brake trace at turn in. It's a little bit too constant now, instead of a smooth curve, but I am working on smoothing it out. But you can easily see what I am on about.

    #Nao - yesterday I played a little bit with this CC bar in top right corner showing how good You are in different sectors and I noticed that turning too much steeringwheel is not a problem (It shows me just maybe 2 or 3 times that I'm turning too much steeringwheel), I had a lot "ok, but too aggresive" or "ok, but too messy" (when I hit kerb or grass for example). There is a problem, now I know :)

    About setup - I changed front swaybar to more... stiff and now car is more oversteer than before, I stiffer a little bit bumpers and softer rear bumpers (because I saw that car on exits is much oversteery when I push throttle - even when I thought I do it smoothly car tries to rotate), I changed casters as well to lower, to help car turning in in first phase of corner (it helps a little) nad decrease differential preload to about 100-120Nm because car was understeer in fast corners when You are challenging them with full throttle, or when You are exiting from them (from mid or high speed corners). Of course I did only cosmetic changes, probably aliens setups are much determined. I have wheel pressures set to ~28,7PSI because I observed during race after let say 10-15mins pressure is going down a lot.

    Anyway I setup my cars to races 20-30mins, because in quick races in multiplayers races like this are most common. I know very good drivers had a lot of setups and they are using dynamic brake bias during race as well and probably many others things which I don't know :))

    #Rdmracer - hmm, that is good point, I'm observing it as well, for example on Monza on first chicane I hit many times first kerb, because I thought car is moving fast and I will overshoot this first corner. Same on Spa on Eau Rouge I many times hit too much kerb during right corner, it slows me a lot. Generaly Spa circuit is good example, because is really fast track, cornering on high speeds and yes, I turn a little bit to fast to corners. If I turn wheel too fast means: I could be on brake a little longer (could slow down car a little bit more), not fully turned steering wheel in first phase in corner + too big speed = car understeers a lot and it means I'm overslow car during mid corner. I'm working on it :)

    New patch, new points. After 2 days (some Hot Lap mode on Spa, 3 races on Multiplayer) my points jumped up a lot:

    Total: +389 (9049 now)
    TC: 0 (92 still)
    CN: +9 (93 now)
    CC: +19!! (91 now)
    rest without changes

    [​IMG]

    Probably this patch resume all points and now look much "normal", because I didn't see anyone who had TC, CN and CC points completely different, I mean like I had before. Usually all of this points are (not directly) connected. Show me guy who is constant in driving without car control ability :|, or constant in driving without knowledge about race lane.

    TC rating is easy to get on 99 check the tab and see on which tracks youre missing stars and just do 4 clean laps to get it to maximum. The rest of the rating will jump as soon as you start to do competetive races and some of the Hotlap events. It will rise your Competetion and Pace rating. Also be aware the rating will fluctate quite a bit depending on the track and what youre driving. I jump betwen 80-95 cc/cn rating constantly. I wouldnt worry to much about these two ratings, when they're that high. Focus on race results and your own consitency, like can you hold a pace for a 60-90min race?

    I observed my CC rating go down again to 88 :| strange, because I had 2 races with a lot of "greens" in top right CC rating. Don't get it, seriously :). Anyway it is not so important due I'm able to fight for top 5 in every "quick join" race on Multiplayer. Uhh, I didn't play 60-90 min race yet (don't have much time), my maximum was about 40mins from 1h race but I had to quit. I think this is more important than those 2 ratings (CC and TC). I know TC is easy to get, but when I have time to play I don't want to spend it on single player like Hot Lap mode or Practice, I bought this game and changed my internet connection to play MP definetily :)

    Hello there fellow simracers. This time my question goes to those who are on top of the game. I'm looking for some help to push my racing craft to the highest level. Due to the lockdown, I can spend more time developing my simracing craft.
    I'm still very quick but I'm aware some points are missing. I'd like an alien or more aliens to spend some time taking and driving with me. The things aren't only related to driving itself and finding more time on the track. It's more about putting it all together.
    I've been working as a language teacher for almost 10 years so I have plenty of real-life experience regarding the process of knowledge acquisition. I know my pros and cons and know what this process should look like. I also used to analyze telemetry for real racing drivers and simracers many years ago. So without further ado, if you feel you'd like to help me, I'd be honored and grateful. Thanks

    Maybe you can talk with Mr. Jardier. He can go real fast, talk, rear comments, drink, adjust HUD, all at the same time. :cool:

    @PLebre - and he can adjust tire pressure at the pit entry and loose one position cause of this :eek:
    yesterday was hammer time. this fight with franke was epic. awesome. top. simracing heaven. out of words. :)

    Can anyone give me some pointers on my technique? I feel like I am failing dreadfully... a 2:03 at Silverstone after so many laps.

    I've been comparing my corner speeds to a couple of hot lap videos on YouTube and I'm not a million miles away... just a few that I am quite shy on.

    The setup is aggressive with a couple more clicks of aero front and back.

     
  11. 0.2 s every corner means being 2/3s more slower in the hole lap, so probably you aren't losing time in only one corner, but in all of them, don't sweat it and keep on practicing.
    Regarding your video, I feel like you aren't using the hole track, and you should accelerate later to avoid understeer. Also, you can be more aggresive in some brake zones

    Looks quite good. I've only noticed some missed apexes, where you are a bit too fast. And on thing that costs massive time in my experience is going off throttle on corner exit. This happened to you especially in the corner after hangar straight.
    It's also my most common mistake. As Vision Slayer said, it just adds up.

    What helps me, is watching replays with chase cam. It helps to judge my line.

    You moved in the braking zones a few times, and at 16:56 you just turned in on the other car as if he wasn't there.

    Wins a race, asks for mistakes.

    Where's the catch? :)
     
  17. There problem here is the race win isn't generated by @EddardBey. He's driving without any respect for other drivers. Like hot lapping alone on the track.

    Hi all,


    I have been lapping and lapping Silverstone in a 911 for what seems like ages. I had a few breakthroughs that have taken seconds off my lap. But I am now struggling - knowing that I probably still have another 2-3 seconds to take off to be competitive.

    Comparing some of my corner speeds to a few hotlaps - I am fairly well on it on a few corners but others are a mystery.

    hi guys, i think i have to improve my braking but i am a bit confused because i think there are too many variables going on...i try to explain...
    i play on fanatec v3 pedals and i have set abs on 80 and brf on 15.
    I have inside the brake pedal installed a mod to have a stiffer pedal, just because i would lime to simulate tye real feel of braking hard then release graduallywhile entering corners...
    but:
    1 is brf too low?!?
    2 does abs function of the fanatec pedals help to understand what is the max force to apply?!?
    3 how can i understand/use efficiently abs value ingame?!?i mean when 1,2,3,4 or 5 in dry conditions?!?
    4 in all this caos brake balance front or rear and brake pressure?!?Always 100% brake pressure in dry?!?
    5 last but not least...there is a little option in the settings of the game which is brake linearity...what does this do?!?

    thks for the help and patience

    No, it's simply the percentage of travel at which the vibration motor starts to vibrate. Doesn't have anything to do with what's happening in the sim. Pretty useless feature imo.

    Not sure if you can you use something like Fanalab or fanaleds to make it vibrate based on game telemetry with acc. That would make it at least a bit more useful.
