Are AC street cars too easy to drive on the limit ?

Those single image posts are just spam imho.

 

1:30



ac physics fine

 

Welcome to message boards!

 

Thanks, I was trying to get rid of the dead zone, but using 900/900 I couldn't...
I'll try it tonight

 

Well, the deadzone in the middle has to do with Min Force... My wheel got 13.6%, but it can be different on others. Try between 5% and 20%. If it oscillates on the straight, turn it down. There's a software to calculate it, tho I think it's just on iRacing forums. "Wheel Check".

The rotation deadzone is more to have a 1:1 ratio. The G27 is meant to have 900, but in reality, when you turn the wheel full lock, there's a soft lock there. You can turn past it by applying more force but it won't do anything input-wise. Probably there to avoid damaging the wheel. If you take both of these safety deadzones into account, you get around 860 total lock, not a true 900.

 

Here's a 7:10 lap in the F40 around Nords tourist. 100% grip, 9c air and 21c or so surface (banditos server). Wasn't really hard to drive tbh.

 

What tyres is he using though?

 

Did two 7:08's in a row with 96% grip, Sunday cruise

 

I have a strong suspicion, that the Nordschleife in my AC is at least a kilometer longer than yours...
I can't be THAT bad at driving, now can I?

 

Black stripe hax.

 

Well, I don't drive the car much and I did quite a few mistakes, namely that "should've spun but didn't" before the second carousel. But it's really not hard.

 

Approaching 40 years chap here, no idea what this "black stripe hax" means...
Nevertheless, never tried the F40 on the Ring, will do this weekend.
A time close to 7:30 will be considered a huge success.

 

OMG I just saw it. That's legit hilarious, hahahahahaha.

It's the culmination of one's e-penis in simracing, bar winning an iRacing World Championship. Basically, you qualified to participate in the latter.

 

Well..., um..., er..., thanks.
BTW, just for testing purposes, what track conditions and tires did you use, when lapping the ring in 7:08 in the F40?
Have to try the same, to see how much I'm off the pace.

 

Slicks

Nah, alfa 4c tyres i would guess.

 

I posted a chassis friction circle in another AC is too easy thread and it looked fine as well. I think there is nothing wrong with the combined grip either.

If anything I would look at rotational inertia and sidewall "loading up" effects. Drifters use stretched/stiff-sidewalled tyres for a reason and the effects of it wouldn't show up in steady-state forces plot.

 

But then will depend on the car and the driver's skill. For example the BMW 1M is well balanced, good weight at all speeds (according to irl review), and a good amount of grip on dry tarmac.



But at 1:37 he lost the steering wheel and the same happened as in the alfa romeo 4c video. Watch it from the start, he makes good action; put in fullscreen.
Another video here, this from head perspective.

 

Yeah, that never happened to me in AC, not that I remember at least.

 

He said 96% ("Fast" I guess) and probably semis.

 

I know that driver from Bimmerpost, non stock tyres(not PS2s),some sort of drifttyre cheapo makes it more fluent, you cannot do this this particular way on dry surface/asphalt with stock 19 inch PS2s...
