Misc 2013 DRS zones 1.0

[Alex Millar]

Before restarting Q2 at 10 seconds to go (P01: 0.8 seconds behind me = Hamilton, no fast-forwarding)
After restart of Q2, and after FFwrding, at finish (P14: 3+ seconds in front at pole = Raïkkönen)

Hard-coded by CM (maybe because both Spa & Monza are the two tracks most casual gamers play with and CM wanted to force them to do them in full, in a twisted manner, like they often do... and since they removed FP1 and FP2).

Thanks for checking this out, i wonder if there's anything else we can change other than <corneringAccelerationCoefficent float="0.4" /> which doesn't seem to change anything for me.

I can't be of any help regarding this file, but I believe this is due to a piece of code that was added in by CM devs that does not depend on external variables, but directly hard-coded into f1 2012.exe or any other added-on module or something. Based on this belief, the only work-around is to not use the fast-forward feature, and do the entire session.

Maybe that's also why they said they added the possibility of saving the point where you're up to in any session in F1 2013?

 

[ParkYongLee]

yeah, they set times like they have had the DRS all through the lap

Hardcoded stuff, when you do anything with the time in a session (reseting to garage or forwarding the time), the AI's times are getting much much faster than usual. It's a known issue, has nothing to do with DRS mod.

Yes. Might be some sort of multiplying routine that iterates through a buffer that holds all the ext. variables. Methinks (although I'm not good at all at predicting stuff) they will remove the fast-forward feature (since they always remove features that many gamers complain about, instead of fixing them), and give the possibility (probably bugged) of saving all variables at any point during any session.

We'll see (I'm not pre-ordering, that's for sure: too much secrecy).

aagancia updated 2013 DRS zones with a new update entry:

update 0.7

2 tracks added

-Nurburgring- 2 DRS zones, 2 DRS detection point
-Singapore- 2 DRS zones, 2 DRS detection point
-2013 DRS track maps updated

On the simlulated times:

they are coded somewhere, I don't know where, but they can be altered, at least for legend difficulty. (haven't tested pther difficulties, could be possible there also)

here is how it works:
open database, navigate to the "track model" tab.
Find the column "hard_dry_lap_adjustment" and set the value you like. For example set "-2.0", and the simulated pole time (what happens when you fast forward) will be (roughly) 2 seconds faster.
Same goes for the "hard_wet_lap_adjustment", which controls heavy and light rain together.

BtW: really like your mod @aagancia

aagancia updated 2013 DRS zones with a new update entry:

Great work, Nürburgring works fine in FP (haven't check in Qs & Race yet).

It needs to be copied into the tracks/circuits/nurburgring/route_0 folder (into which it isn't in the .RAR download)

Thanks!

 

[aagancia]

thanks for letting me know. yeah, I seem to have missed the route_0 folder. Will post a fix ASAP

 

[snthennumbers]

Nurburgring, Istanbul, Spa, and Monza seem to be the culprits of insane laptimes during accelerated time.

I'm going to play with @RowingAce 's suggestion to see if I can get these tracks adjusted so they're more fair under accelerated time (I know I accelerate time a lot so I hate when this issue comes up)

Love this mod aagancia!

aagancia updated 2013 DRS zones with a new update entry:

fix for Nurburgring folder structure

fix for Nurburgring folder structure

-trigger xml file now in proper route_0 folder.

I just tried it in Istanbul. fix from @RowingAce works well.

So to get the AI to slow down during accelerated time, you'd put in a (positive) 3 or something like that, correct?
Negative numbers make the AI go faster, yes?

Yes, positive value makes AI slower.

Have not tested enough yet to see if there any effect during race.

Well if adjusting those values makes an effect during accelerated time I would hope it would not effect race times since race time is not accelerated lol

I'll test too when I get some free time today
*fingers crossed*

 

[RowingAce]

it doesnt't affect the race at all, cause in the race there is no time acceleration.
Sector times are weird, cause those stored times seem to be calculated with insane straight line speed and slow cornering, but what counts in the end is the overall laptime, doesn't it?

Thanks for the quick fix again!! I just tested it by doing a few laps in 100% race and it works perfect, so I'm sure it must be the same for the Q sessions. Did a FP session in Singapore: works sharp! Tx.

thanks man you really helped me out there!

 

[samletigre]

will you do also hockenheim ? because its not every body that use the nurburgring mod track

 

[snthennumbers]

I'm going to guess aagancia won't do Hockenheim. Remember Hockenheim wasn't in the 2013 season, so the FIA never defined double DRS zones for Hockenheim.

 

[samletigre]

but he can create ... i am asking that because its not everybody who play with the nurburgring track mod ...
