Are some guys running softs and turning off tire wear in MP during races ?

I don't know if this is possible, I am just a little suspicious after a few races I have had lately.

 

No because soft tires start with 90% grip and after 1 lap they will have 100% grip. turning off tire wear will leave the soft tires at 90%. This trick is only possible with medium and hard tires.

 

Probably.

I`ve seen some events where fuel usage rates were different during practice/qualy and the race, meaning what you thought was enough wasn`t and what should be enough was too much etc.

It is what it is I guess, until you can see full server setting, if you cant already, you`ll just have to roll with it

 

Lol maybe is possible...

At the same time maybe we will soon have more server options to force realistic settings (Friday?)

I would not care too much about these things. Problems like this are part of the early access, so is better to not worry too much and enjoy what we have right now until everything is completed

 

Someone's been pawned online I reckon ;D

 

I wonder if it's possible that a soft at 90% would have better adhesion ( grip ) than a medium at 100 % ?

 

There's always someone faster... it's not fun to get kicked out of a race for being too fast.

 

Yes it is definitely possible. If you aren't doing it then you may as well start because otherwise you're at a disadvantage. If you set fuel and tyre wear to off then when you go online you have no tyre wear or fuel usage, meaning you can start with softs and 1l of fuel. Kunos needs to get these settings from the server rather than the client as currently we have some who know about this and are utilising it while others have an inherent disadvantage.

I've noticed I'm slower right from the start on soft GT3 tyres compared to medium. Haven't tried it with tyre wear on though and it's not the case for other cars.

 

It wouldn't be the the first time ! LOL

 

But if you do a 10+ lap race, the softs should degrade badly at the last laps. Then it may turn out that softs with constant 90% grip are faster than hards with wear.

Its unfair if one has to drive mediums or hards while others can get away with softs. A serious issue imo.

 

ANOTHER WAY TO CHEAT??? OMG... That's why i'm avoiding to go online on Assetto Corsa right now...

 

No way. They slide around like crazy. I've tested it and they're already horrible at 90%, and totally fall off the cliff around 87%.

No way they're faster than mediums. Mediums have barely any wear at all, 10 lap race and they're still at 99%. 90% softs would fall far, far behind.

Besides with tyre wear on softs wear after 5+ laps horribly. No way you can make them last 10 laps and be competitive.. Well maybe GT2 softs, still need to test them, but GT2 soft = GT3 medium anyway.

 

The biggest issue for endu races is that anyone can turn off tire wear and race with medium tires at 99% for the whole race.

It's not a bug, as I think the server can be setup to disallow this. (I reported it as soon as MP was released) If you have tire wear, damage and fuel usage OFF, and the guy setting up the MP server doesn't enforce those rules, the server will let you run 1L of fuel and super softs (which stay at 90% for the entire race and you never run out of fuel)

SO YES, guys are doing this.

But it can be edited out in the server rules/config I am fairly certain, as I have been on several servers where a message popped up saying fuel usage is 1x, tire wear is 1x etc,...

Please correct me if I'm wrong and this is a bug.

 

I haven't come across a single server that has made me have fuel or tyre use on and never seen that message.

I just played with tyre wear on for the first time in a long time. To me it seemed first lap mediums are faster, second-fourth laps softs are faster and then from there on mediums are faster with the MP4-12C GT3

 

I just did two tests with the BMW M3 GT2 at the nurburgring gp under the same conditions but with different tyre wear and tyre type.

Tyre wear 1x, medium: 2.00:2 1.59:8 1.59:6 2.00:3 1.59:3 2.00:0 1.59:4
Tyre wear off, supersoft: 1.57:5 1.57:9 1.57:3 1.57:0

On the mediums i indeed didn't notice any degradation in the 8 laps i did. On the second stint, i instantly noticed that the grip level was much higher.

So, given the mediums wear out very little, you can gain about 2.5 seconds a lap by this trick, on a 10+ lap race.

 

Yes, but as I said, GT2 super soft = GT3 soft , GT2 Soft = GT3 medium

So you don't actually run GT2 mediums on 10 lap race, but GT2 soft. So your comparison isn't relevant imo.

I can test this myself actually now.

EDIT: nvm... GT2 cars don't start at 90% grip on any tyre. So it's actually exploitable if this is true that someone can enter with 0x tyre wear..

 

welcome to onlinegaming turn all sim aspects off in a sim just to be faster then another is so retarded but logical when weak egos want to be best at least in a computergame.....

 

Make it 20 laps then... But the point is, every driver should have equal physics, otherwise its not fair.

 

I've done quite a few races these last days and drove all of them with the medium GT3 tires - before that I was using the softs. Even though the mediums may have a little less grip, they stay predictable for a much longer time - 10 laps on mediums is easy, on softs its almost impossible for me (overheating + pushing the car leads to gravel travel every time...). So I don't really care about people using softs and turning wear off, I'll still be faster just by driving clean and steady. No fuel use and no tire wear should of course be disallowed on servers - it goes against the whole idea of "simulation", but I guess it's not a priority for now and I for one am fine with that.
