Done .

 

done, but we are still losing grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

Finally, I'm spending more time in ACC racing than performance tweaking

It's already started to feel like an addiction. The ratings give an additional puropose to each race...although you're way back in the field, you still have your own objectives. For example: keeping the safety rating up.

As usual, we have the careless aliens...some guy failed to Q and started last. I started 2nd. Final lap he came flying towards me. I could only avoid a crash by jumping off the line mid-corner. Hopefully, the ratings will teach those guys a lesson, too.

Question: If I want to let someone pass on the straight. How do I indicate properly?

Another question: with my FOV settings, I can't see the dashboard. How do I know I'm indicating? I checked from external view earlier and the indicators stay on forever, it seems. Indicator button long press = off would kind of solve this problem.

 

Just make sure the guy behind you is far enough behind and not yet trying to overtake. Pull off of the racing line and lift throttle a bit, enough for him to be able to overtake you.
No need to use indicators at all, if I'm behind someone who's got his indicator on, I assume it's by accident

 

flashing

 

Don't flash Imagine having another car in front of you and you start to flash. Aside from that, you'd have to guess what the flashing guy's intentions are, very unclear.

 

I think so, too. When I checked the indicators earlier, I found them very subtle and easily overlooked in the heat of the moment. Flashing is pretty well noticable, though. I'll do that from now on.

 

Turn signals / indicators would be better suited.

 

Sorry, but how does flashing help if the faster car is behind you?

 

Don't the tail lights flash, too?

 

Only with rain lights if I'm not mistaken.

 

With the indicators that all the GT3 cars have, you would usually indicate to the side you're sticking to, that way the car passing you knows which way to go around. An example would be on the straight at Monza, I would indicate to the left and lift off my throttle a bit so that the other car can easily pass. Doing this through corners however can be a bit more confusing, as sometimes drivers think the side you've indicated for is where you're telling them to go, meaning you head to the left to let them past and they go left to get past. However, as long as you position quick and clearly enough, just lifting off and holding your line on the straight should be enough for faster drivers to find their way past.

 

In my opinion you should need to worry more about your driving or car language rather than the "left/right indicator" / emergency lights

So, if you want to let someone pass on the straight, there are 3 options.

1.- while in a Q sesion and you are not in flying lap:

just get yourself out of the racing line and don't drive fast, if you see that there are cars far behind and they will catch you during next turn, just slow down your car even more in the straight, don't block the turn in entry.

2.- he is middle/ far from you in racing / normal conditions :

you just move yourself away from the racing line, and don´t accelerate 100%, let him see you are driving slower than normal / leting him pass. Make sure you don't reach the next turn wheel to wheel.

3.- he is right behind you:

move yourself ASAP out of the line, but in this case he might follow you to get your slipstream, in this case just don't panic and start changing lines, and when he goes wheel to wheel, lift the pedal so that you don't force a wheel to wheel.

There can be hundreds of different situations, in the end the point is, no suddent sped changes, no sudden direction changes.... try to speak through your speed, racing line....etc...
The indicators help, but also some people press them by mistake and keep them on all the race, and they can be misleading in that case.

 

If he's right behind you, just stick to the line you're on. Moving away from the line (which means basically you're taking the inside line for the next corner), makes it seem like you're defending.
With the slip stream, he should be able to pull alongside. If he's not able to, he will (should) move to the inside when approaching the corner. Just take the outside line.

 

How do I change it? I've tried to search for it, but can't find anywhere in the settings how to change it.

 

Uhm....thinking about it again, Yeah both of you are right, changing line in that situation is not wise. my apologies.

 

I reisntalled ACC . After new installation the game does recognize my G25 but I can't assign buttons on my wheel and shifter (when I press "advanced" to choose which button controls what and press desired button, nothing happens). Anyone can help?

 

Try first clearing the buttons.
