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

Using danny guisa tyre app, the mediums start at 100%. I did 5 laps with 3 tyres in the 70's C and only have 1% grain on front right as that was in the 60's C. Optimal medium temps used to start at 85C so either the optimal temps were changed or the graining is very minor once you get close enough to optimal.... but I had damage at 50%, which limits the tyre damage too, not just the bodywork. This should not be the case.

Please Kunos give us a separate car and tyre damage slider.

 

Ah so this other thread confirms what I was feeling was off in hotlap mode because the same car felt better in a quick race than hotlapping with exact same setup/conditions.

I drove BMW Z4 GT3 a bit earlier and it felt really great now! If youre into GT3 cars and havent tried it out since the 1.3-1.3.4, do it!

 

Humm, so there are differences between hotlap and other sessions with same conditions..

 

Yeah, the problem is it feels way better/more grippy than the other GT3's.

 

I never really was into GT cars in AC but the last week I am. My favs are Z4GT3 and 458GT2, I think the Huracan has a lot of understeer default.

Yeah, 2nd lap i got a new PB with it out of the GT3's on Norschleife tourist. Its good for a bad driver like me.

 

NO, road temps doesnt work online and offline for me. Air temp does, so there is absolutely no difference between hotlap, practice or mp.

Air temp acts as road temp right now and affects the engine power.

 

I am not sure to understand correctly. Does the damage percentage apply to the normal tyre wear as well? Or only to flat spots?

 

I don't think that that's currently implemented....

 

It affects drag.

 

Yes, but not actual power.

 

If you're on a type of surface that'll improve over time, larger grids will improve it quicker (eg. green starts at 92% and rises to 95% over time or whatever)

 

yeah well it needs to be slower on straigths.... now its faster than real life in straights
compared to the other gt3

 

Not sure if it affects the engine i would say it doesnt however i think it affect aero

 

...so we are still desirous for an original AC tyre-temp app (made by Kunos devs), showing correct IMO surface temps
- perhaps not as BIG as the devs app at the moment? so we can run it while driving?
- perhaps showing the perfect tyre temperature window as intended by colour? blue to green to red?
- perhaps with auto-detection of the tyres used?
so
a small tyre temp app that is not forced to read core temps like 3.party apps are right now?
surface temps would be much more appreciated like many of us said again and again and...
so hard to do during the past few days, weeks, months?
Kunos devs, pls ?
cu on track!

 

When 1.3 was released Aris said they will do it.
I think working on updating the tyre model itself is more important than the temp app...
So hard to stop making requests and wait?

 

I`m so sorry that I can`t watch and listen and read every single word of Kunos devs on every social media channel as some of the hardcore AC fan boys seems to do every day&night (hi Michael )... well, seems I missed Aris clear statement you quoted, which resulted in my question. By the way: hope it is no unforgivable affront to ask a/o remind sth from the masters themselfes? Allways thouhgt this is one of some good reasons why we communicate in a forum like this
to answer your question: no, ofc it`s not... if you know its coming
cheers

 

I was about to reply to that, but it's a waste of time.

Just a side note. "Following" this forum gives me all info about AC, thanks to people doing some copy&paste from other sites and the devs themselves making threads like this one.

 

This was excused, but Aris talked about the need of making an app in their first thread about the changes in 1.3: https://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/index.php?threads/v1-3-whats-the-buzz.27204/
"And a mea culpa. The new heat tyre model is extremely complicated. We should have made a proper app or proper messages to warn you when the tyres are cold, overheated, good or bad condition. We didn't make it. We apologize, we will try to do it... err... soon™. Please be kind and have patience, it's complicated for us too and days have only 32 hours."
