Barcelona DRS zone

Since the latest introduction in v1.7 where the DRS auto closes once outside the DRS zone i have noticed the end point for the start/finish straight zone is well short by aprox 150-200m in single player mode. This is killing the top end speed for the f138. I have looked at real onboard footage from 2013 & 2016 and the end point is roughly on the 50m mark into T1. Could someone please guide me on what value i should replace in the DRS_Zone.ini file?And also what that correct value should be.

I have created a bug thread here:- https://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/index.php?threads/barcelona-drs-zone-2-wrong-length.35025/

Current data:-

[ZONE_0]
DETECTION=0.916
START=0.995
END=0.116

[ZONE_1]
DETECTION=0.595
START=0.654
END=0.743

 

There is a dev app that sets DRZ zones in car, use this to set the zones and it will create a file called drs_zones.ini.candidate in the same location as the original drs_zones.ini, you just need to remove the .candidate from the file name and it will use that. You also will need to delete or rename the other maybe to drs_zones.ini.bak for backup etc.

For MP the DRS zones are set by the drs_zones.ini uploaded to the server but for single player its using the one in your track folder. This is another clear issue with DRS cars and RSR as it currently doesnt monitor this file and someone can easily make DRS available all track and gain heaps of time per straight. In Mp the DRS zones will be the default unless changed and ingame simply using the electronic app will show where the DRS zones start and stop.

There is also an activation zone you create via the DRS zones app but this isnt functional as yet, will be good once it is so you wont have DRS each lap only in qualy or when within 1 sec and DRS is enabled.

 

legend Marty! that app gave me the coordinate i needed. I believe the end point for zone 0 should be set as below. Hopefully Kunos will set this correctly for others in 1.7.6. I hear you about RSR. It is a real shame holes like this and track temps exist. It would be a great product otherwise. Some of the phantom times set there i just cant take seriously..

Would the end point be around the apex of the next corner. In real use DRS goes off as the brakes are applied so having them at the apex or close to would seem like the best option. Maybe all official tracks will need to be adjusted if more are ending drs before the brake zones.

 

I set this on the horizontal line that crosses track just before t1 at the end of the pit exit line. This point is exactly where it is in real life and is after the braking point. Maybe tomorrow I will go and test a few other tracks to see if they are correctly set.

See the 13 sec mark of this magic lap:-

 

Marty i took your advice for Silverstone and slightly increase each end point as you can slightly brake after the original values set.

New Silverstone:-

[ZONE_0]
DETECTION=0.123
START=0.201
END=0.320

[ZONE_1]
DETECTION=0.596
START=0.707
END=0.845

 

New Spa:- A slight change to the start point after E.R. as you could activate DRS approx 5m before the DRS line.

[ZONE_0]
DETECTION=0.940
START=0.981
END=0.050

[ZONE_1]
DETECTION=0.109
START=0.234
END=0.334

 

New RB Ring:- Slight change to the start point of the start/finish line zone as it would originally activate approx 1-2m after the DRS sign

[ZONE_0]
DETECTION=0.867
START=0.9275
END=0.064

[ZONE_1]
DETECTION=0.203
START=0.315
END=0.460

 

New Monza:- A slight change to the start point of the start/finish line zone as it would originally activate approx 1m before the DRS sign

[ZONE_0]
DETECTION=0.880
START=0.029
END=0.152

[ZONE_1]
DETECTION=0.482
START=0.537
END=0.674

 

New Nurburgring GP (layout a):- A few tweaks. The end point on the start/finish line was originally set very early at approx 100m braking mark.

[ZONE_0]
DETECTION=0.642
START=0.737
END=0.871

[ZONE_1]
DETECTION=0.925
START=0.978
END=0.110

 

@Lord Kunos - Any chance of getting the DRS zones set correctly in the upcoming release? Data has been provided to speed the process. It was mention a few builds back that this will be fixed however it still remains undone.
