A few things

Hi all, wasn't sure where to put this topic as it addresses a few things.

I am a noob to the forum but certainly not to AC, been playing since early days.

First of all, big well done and thanks for the Japanese pack. It's a good step in the right direction, though it isn't perfect as I'm sure you know.

Now, for some reason I can't like or comment on the official AC facebook page. I have no idea why. I have never been rude or offensive on there. Could somebody please take my details and see if i'm on some sort of naughty list? It must be a misunderstanding or something. I would love to participate in official posts on FB.

Second, is it still keys 1-0 for adjusting boost percentage? As i no longer get the message pop up to tell me it's adjusted, and I don't feel an adjustment. I can't find anything in the assignments for this.

Think that's it! Peace

 

1-0 still changes the boost in cars that have it.

 

That have not only boost, but boost pressure adjustment. I don´t know if any of the new cars have it, it should be listed on the loading screen, though.

 

Thanks guys, yes I have just seen that some servers are still advertising it, so I guess most cars don't have it. But i'm sure the F40 had adjustable boost but doesn't now?

 

just an idea, cannot look into it now. Did the step version of the F40 maybe has it but not the normal one?

 

I just loaded up a few cars. The F40 doesn´t have it anymore, in both versions, as well as the street Z4, stock and S1. The RUF Yellowbird still uses this function though, and it seems to work (Banner shows, in first gear I got to about 1.4 bar I think @100% which should be correct).

I guess that it was removed from some cars which don´t feature an actual lever in the cockpit to select to boost level, as with 1.6 an advanced turbo pressure control system was introduced. This can control the boost pressure depending on several input parameter as engine speed and gear.

 

Those cars you mentioned apart from the ruf dint had adjustable turbos never did

 

Crap, you´re right. Just found this. It was the drift version of the Z4, and it still features it. I rarely use the F40, so I wasn´t sure, just wanted to check for OP.

 

I didn't even know that the Z4 Drift had adjustable turbo boost pressure!

 

I never drive the Drift version of cars. I don't drift, at least not intentionally, so there really is no reason to drive them...is there?

 

I used to think like that. However, the drift versions aren't just exact copies of the standard cars with crap setups

* The drift version of the Z4 has 50 extra bhp than the standard and S1 versions, and also that adjustable turbo boost pressure.
* The drift version of the BMW M3 E30 is completely unique, and unlike any other version of the M3 E30.
* The drift version of the M3 E92 seems to have the same specs as the other two cars......but it has a manual gearbox.

Like you, I am not a drifter. However, there is no rule stating that you have to drift in these cars. You can tweak the setups to make them a bit more stable, and then enjoy them just like any other cars in AC.

 

Wut? I didn't knew that. Always avoided the drift spec cars. Thanks Christopher for the heads up!

 

Sorry I am only just coming back to this. It's a shame the adjustable boost has been almost taken out completely. Doesn't seem to be on the tuned RX7 which is madness.

On a more serious note, is there somebody I can contact to help to unblock me on the FB page? I'd really like to participate there.

 

Just tried drift Supra at Vallelunga Classic....great fun. Good tip!
