Let me know if there are any problems. I encourage you to do the "community involvement" thing that way we can all figure out what certain values mean!

It's also a great learning experience about cars to use these values, and make those graphs. I've also made graphs for speed progression based on gears. Really fun stuff if you like messing with all these values and data.

Ryder Can you show us the graph for Speed Progression of gears.

My problem: I want to start a career with a competitive Marussia and I don't know how to do it.

I copied the Lotus Renault track files, renamed them.

enabled kers, copied values in the "f1teams" and "ai_engine_power_per_tier" tables in database....and yet I'm not seeing a performance benefit.

Any thoughts? Should I copy "balanced" ctf as well?

Thanks for any help.

It would appear I got it to work. When I posted the previous message I had not updated "virtual performance" or copied over the balanced ctf files.....Not saying this is what solved it for me but this is where I am now......I was also having issues setting up my wheel properly which I managed to finally do.

Here are my results after getting everything in order:

I did laps in Melbourne with Marussia then did some in a Lotus to compare and I was virtually identical....then I tried running a Caterham and it was like driving a duck boat, I was 2 seconds slower no matter what.

In career I finished in top spot in practice in a Marussia so I would say I figured it out.

Does anyone have a good ctf file for anti spin? My car spins as soon as i turn a little bit at all speed even very low speed

i need to edit this file so it would stop spinning every time i turn.

Hawaiian Guy · Jul 10, 2013

Please dont turn this mod into a moral issue of cheating just because you cheat it doesn't mean we cheat too. I only play offline and i want this mod to make my game more realistic. Please dont let your moral issue offend us who need these mods. thank you.

Edit the database go to track model and you will see a column called Num Laps that's where you can put any numbers you want

Hawaiian Guy · Jul 12, 2013

How do i remove the top speed limit?

ParkYongLee · Jul 12, 2013

You mean the "top_speed" column at the same database sheet you were talking one post before?
Tried setting it to 999?

My car is stuck at 214 mph no matter what top_speed i set in the data base

ParkYongLee · Jul 12, 2013

I see, well then only the gear ratio comes in my mind, can't tell a good one though, you could ask Kristian Nenov I think he edited those in his Realism Enhancer mod or you ask in the Mod Questions Thread, somehow I doubt many people will take a look here

Hawaiian Guy · Jul 12, 2013

OK thank you for your replies i will go to that thread i try my luck

GAME:
1.) Brake assist = OFF [very important]

EGO CTF EDITOR:

3.) gear_1st = 4,5
4.) gear_7th = 1
5.) grip_front = 3
6.) grip_rear = 4
7.) rev_limit = 10000 [very important]
OPTION:
8.) brake_torque_total = 4000
9.) brake_torque_total_backward = 4000
10.) brake_torque_total_forward = 4000
11.) magic_brake = 1 - 3 (incredibly brake)

1. Backup database.bin
2. Open difficulty table by double-clicking it in Ryder Database Editor's left pane
3. Scroll all the way to the rightmost column titled tyre_wear
4. Edit all the 1 values in that column to 0 (zero). There are five of them.

On edit (after "trying" to do a realistic full race in Singapore, and failing miserably at not spinning...), you can try this ^^ but it seems like it's not working (to me) now.

(Maybe just in Career mode, not in QR.)
