Assetto Corsa Competizione - 2020 Generic discussion

Thanks midnight.. Strange, a friend of mine in Australia has the same issue. Very slow and timeouts however only when you are logged in. As a guest there are no issues.. I currently have no global ping issues, network issues and have tested multiple devices and browsers..

 

I had some weird behaviour in ACC today. When I went to into the muiltiplayer it said my CP rating was 23. However when I was playing yesterday it said it was 0. It had been 23 before I had a bit of a break and I thought the rating went down if you weren't racing for a while. Does it just come back to were it was if you do a race again?

It also said I was playing two hours ago, which I wasn't. I changed my steam password and checked the clock setting in windows was correct but no issues there. I guessing it's just that ACC got the times mixed up, server side issue maybe?

 

just a guess.. maybe something to do with the authentication server..

 

Quick question, does ARB setting at 0 = softest setting or fully disconnected ?

 

Softest

 

Anyone understand the logic in the BMW GT4's gearing? seems strange that they would make a 7 speed box where you use only 4/5 on track, even at Paul Ricard you might get into 6th if you shift abit earlier.

 

The reasoning behind the gear ratios is most probably to keep engine revs to a reasonable level while cruising on the Autobahn.
The M4 was not built for Paul Ricard.

 

The logic is that it is the road cars gearbox. You want lower revs there but can still reach 280kph.

 

And that's a good thing. My e46 320i does 6000 rpm at 200km/h in 5th gear and does not feature a longer 6th gear. Top speed is limited by the engine rev limiter.

 

My Z28 had a six speed stick, the top gear was for highway cruising, 5th would obtain the highest top speed.

Much like overdrive, way back.

 

Just like those 4+E drivetrains VW and Audi used in the 80ies.

 

I was looking for make a poll instead of thread, but it seems to be no option to create poll on this board... ^^
Anyway!

I found out that what makes me happy playing ACC is not a winning a race or at least battle for 1-3.
What is most enjoyable - it's just clean fightning. No matter for which position.

I use to not participate on Qualifying, start from behind and enjoy a fight each other instead of starting at the front.

Do you feel the same?

 

Starting from the back doesn't result in much clean fighting for me at all, usually. It's just avoiding the carnage ahead. People in ACC can't keep their car between the white lines – especially at the end of the field – so you rarely get to even attempt a move on someone before they just spin themselves out and you cruise past.

Taking a part in quali usually results in a better race for me, assuming I survive lap 1.

 

So that would mean it would still has some roll stiffness, not "0".

 

Depends on the manufacturer, my Audi 3.2 has a very stupid and short auto range...it's like in 5th gear when I'm driving 60kmh. But then it's at 3000 rpm when you are at 130 kmh which is very fuel thirsty. Transmission logic is to keep it under 2000 rpm all the times in the non sport mode...but then it would need 7-8 gears to properly cruise on highways at let's say below 2000 rpm range.

I also drove Nisan Altima, it's CVT of course, but it was at 1500 rpm while driving 140 kmh, 2.5l engine that had 1000km cruise range on one tank, it was crazy felt like a diesel car almost in terms of consumption.

 

zero in what?

 

Zero in designation only, not zero in actual roll stiffness.

 

I've found that too, I'm not the fastest driver but I can be consistent and my mistakes are minor enough (loosing 0.5 of a second rather than going all the way off track and losing seconds).

I had my best race so far on Sunday at kyalami, 60 minutes, no pit stops. Qualified 13th, made it through T1, there was pressure from behind, he could do a faster lap than me but whenever he got within 2 seconds something happened and he ended up back at 6 seconds, I'm not sure if there was something else to that. I was keeping pace with the guy in front, we were very similar on pace but he did enough. I think I got two genuine over takes, started to catch the back markers and was able to make a big gap to the cars behind me. Caught someone limping home in the final 5 minutes. Ended 8th, but it felt like a real achievement I was extremely happy with my performance. I really enjoyed the race, even the back markers had good pace.

 

zero roll stiffness would be equal to no rollbar at all, right?
So I think that 0 is the lowest stiffness you can get still having the rollbar mounted. Maybe wrong.

 

Agreed, I would think that if there is a roll bar in place on the car, there would have to be "some" roll stiffness.

I have no idea what a GT3/4 anti-roll bar looks like, but from my racing days, some are adjustable, with out any need to actually change them, so a lot of variables here.

But the original question, does the "0" setting mean no roll bar is fitted, or just the lowest stiffness?

Any way we look at it, who cares, you can't go less "0" in setup anyway.
