V1.3.4. tyre model fine tuning on gt cars and more.

Cobra is still using v4 I think? only difference should be the suspension fix Stefano talked about a lot in one stream & consequent better FFB, which is possibly what you're noticing.

I'm convinced the Alfa is using the wrong tyres completely, at this point the GT40 gets rather slippery when you push it, the Alfa GTA... doesn't. Unless it's a 70s version using 70s slicks, but then it needs giant wheel arch extensions & rather larger wheels.

 

yes cobra is still v4, i might have been comparing the competition cobra to the s/c, im not sure now, when i thought some more i have a feeling the cobra we raced just before 1.3 was the competition version and just after 1.3 it was the s/c on the same tyres if it wasnt that i assume its a "feel" or temperature thing. maybe i altered placebo.ini by accident

agree about the gta. they said that v5 vintage wasnt ready though hence most classic cars are v4 still so i assume/hope we will get an update to the gta's tyres when they add v5 for the other classic cars

i've put a lot of hours into that little car and it just isnt the same anymore

 

Thanks for this update Kunos.
So much passion and so much attention to details (where Devil hides), you deserve all the best

 

Why update any of the vintage tyres if the code isn't ready?

I think it's just vintage slick/semislicks (or whatever you call the Lotus 49's sorta-treaded tires), the vintage road tyres are a different matter.

 

Thanks Aris.
Finally a big step forward (1.3 was so bad I had to reinstall the 1.25).

I can't wait until all the cars are fixed (Alfa GTA was one of the best sim cars ever and now it feels like a train...).

Keep up with the good work!

 

It's been more than a year now since ac release and it's a good path taken with the new tire model, ffb is amazingly smooth and they don't even take a break, a few weeks for Aris, the best sim racing streams from developers (let's count Luca's too hehe) what a year for AC. Now is kind of a new beginning with tm5. Cheers to kunos team

Am I the only one tiptoeing around for a couple of laps just hoping to not wipeout. Its constant braking lockups and over-accel off corners (Nissan GT3-Imola). I am going slower and braking earlier so its not like I'm plowing into the first corner. Only after a couple of laps do I attempt a hotlap and hope that I hold it in the road...it never seems to give me the grip I expect. Dare I say it feels like 1.. ahhhhh, I won't go there.

The same goes for the same car at Nords. I'm looking at 2/3 lap to get the heat in the tires and even after that I can't get in a groove. Maybe its just the Nismo...not really in the mood to try anything else at the moment.

I know this is by design and many are happy with it. I am truly happy for them. Just giving you my viewpoint. I wish I had the time for multiplayer and most of all that you would have the patience

As a hotlapper this adds two extra laps onto every session just to have fun. <-this is my biggest grief. My time in AC has been reduced drastically for the coming months due to my job (travel) and re-learning to drive time and again is not what I hoped for. The same goes for setting up the car each time. I remember reading that the physics weren't changing again for a long time and that made me think I could concentrate on finally getting full-on practice with what we had.

I realize the tyre model is a different animal, but it has a similar effect. Any idea how much longer there will be major changes to driving? (this is a smart aleck/rhetorical question because I know it can't be answered with certainty) Subtle changes would be good, but I'd really like to get settled in for the most part. It just seems like every time I start to really grasp what to do with my driving the model changes.

Yes!!!!!...as many of you have figured out I am not happy with changes in my job so take all of this with a grain of salt. THANK YOU for being a caring dev team. Lovin' AC! Love the Devs! ...and I expect to be here for the duration.

 

When you are starting a new session you will find the option to have your tyres already warmed up (totally or partially). I can't remind in which menu but if I'm not wrong is the driving assistance's one

 

Check this out: tire blankets.

 

Do we get information on core tyre temps from apps or is it surface? if not can we expect to be able to see this available at some stage?

 

Yes, this works great! Thanks. I've always just clicked pro and went with default factory settings for most cars for RSR timing. Never took the time to look into other settings.

Here's where I'm embarrassed and wish I could hide under a rock. My previous post was unnecessary and I am admitting it was my mistake only. Before leaving town for my job four days ago I was driving the Glick and noticed in RSR the only way to get a pro time was to turn TC and ABS off. So I did. I returned from my trip and hop in the Nismo where I've always had those settings turned on and lo and behold it won't brake or steer for crap. Now that I've got factory settings everything is balanced now and feels great. If only I could go back in time and not click "Post Reply". Oh well, live and learn. Forgive me please.

 

I never use TC, altho I do use ABS if the car is meant to have it, as is the case for GT3 cars.

 

I think no one here minds at all, it´s just good that you learned something here, and can enjoy AC better, no need for embarrassement. And possibly a lot of other people haven´t known this before and will check it out now.

 

Finally I can say that I'm driving like aliens do... although I'd rather want to say that I'm doing similar lap times.

 

is it me or is Z4 GT3 locking super easily with or without ABS, while other GT3s or even cars without ABS are fine ... ? could be bug? default setup, fast track, tyre blankets (or not) tyres on same temps as in other cases .. 85-90 .. havent check the bias but shouldn`t be crazy off with default setup ...

 

That was the only type of tyre they had, so ... "racing tyre" given slicks have been around since the 50s I'm not sure why they didn't use them circuit racing, but there you go.

I think RSR Pro mode asks for ABS set to Factory ( definitely turns TC off yes ). I usually turn ABS off anyway because it feels odd getting in a car with ABS after driving so many without.

 

as far as I know rsr pro doesnt mind if you have factory abs on or off
