How do you set ride height ?

How did you configure your diff ?

You can download it here: http://www.aimsports.com/software/
You didn't get your google achievement by the way. Not even bronze...

 

OH turns out actually this software works with AC without any plugin and such! you just use the NKT file from the AC folder in documents, cool.
I think it can't draw the track though.

 

I learned the ride height stuff from youtube videos (this video here) and intuition/problem solving skills.

Bailey... are you altering your setup then before you race? only certain cars? Can you give me a specific example so I can try it myself?

 

I have never altered an AC setup other than putting more fuel in the tank and putting on harder tires.
I don't quite understand your question. Yes, you would alter the setup before the race. If you are willing to take the time to do it you would want every car that you race to be fast and feel comfortable at the same time. I am more of a team multiclass endurance racer so whatever setup that allows our team to finish the most laps in 4 hours (or more) is the one we go for. Even if we are 1 sec off the pace in practice we will be right there challenging the leaders by the end of the race.

Out of curiousity, who are you racing with and where, what multiclass endurance.

 

We shall talk elsewhere...

I assumed you were dropping the front and / or raising the back end somehow...I dunno ... likely the same place where you change tires. I don't even know how that's done. That's why I asked.

 

Ok. The production cars of AC tend to have very limited setup options. If you are looking for some exposure then look to drive the cars with big rear wings. These tend to be cars designed to race and will have more setup options to do so. Play with the settings to see how each on effects the car. Drive over bumps, take corners too fast, use the brake and throttle at the same time, do whatever you can to feel what that setting you changed actually did to the car.

Maybe this will help or answer your question.

Is there any reason why the E30 in standard setup has the front lower than the rear? Or at least according to the numbers anyway? I gather normally you'd want the front and rear at the same height and as low as you can get them?

 

Depends on your rear wing. As someone said earlier, the more rear wing you have the more the rear will be pushed down, so you really want to have the rear higher than the front so it will even itself out at speed.

 

Hehe, thanks.

I actually tested and sure we can see it.

Now i just wish they give us more range in the values for each car (also lot of setup areas missing for many cars when others have plenty of setup possibilities). Also, it says about negative toe for wheels to point out and give better turn in. Problem is almost no car have negative values for toe lol. They go from 0 an up. But not negative numbers so we cant make the wheels point outwards. Anyway im sure they fix this later. I just want more range on the setup values.

 

The toe numbers that you are referring to, are not the toe-angle but just a linear scale. If you change them from 0 to max, you can read the real angle in the text on the right side of the screen.

 

Yes... but can be confusing none the less and should be fixed.
It does with me sometimes.

What about "0" being in the centre, negative numbers to the left and positive numbers to the right.

ie.
-5 -4 -3 -2 -1 <0> 1 2 3 4 5 = real values.

It would be nice to not have to look to other places on the screen, to see what's been changed, or what it means(real values).

 

It is a matter of taste. The real angle would be convenient but I think that the way it is in the game resembles the real situation more closely.

 

Yes i suppose we guys are just needing to get used to the AC UI and it will at some point,
become second nature.

 

Yeah i want realistic values as well, but most cars dont have negative values for toe. They have 0-8 (for example) but no negative numbers. Still the tooltip says to apply negative toe to get faster turn in.

Not applied yet because of early access?

 

You will have to be careful with the difference in height setting. In race cars you will want the front to be lower than the rear when the car is moving. In the simplest way I can say this: It creates a void under the car which eliminates the drag that would otherwise be there. (Ground Effect Wikipedia).

And I guess you really need telemetry to see the compression of the springs to determine how high the front/rear of the car is at speed?
