Hi guys,
Dethrone1427, CMGARAGE,
We can talk all we want about HDVs and TBCs but our biggest problems with this mod are the sound samples. They clip like mad and even if you DC offset them with a minus 1 db amplitude reduction, online, they crack and pop continuously. We need new, virgin, Cosworth DFV samples before that can be fixed.

As for the HDV,
I was using the 1975 spec of 550kg. So from 612kg, I had lowered it to 600kg. As CMGARAGE mentioned (thank you), I was not counting on the weight of the driver. DoH! So I have a 50kg driver... it must be a kid! My next version will take that into account.
Next, either the Radiator Range adjustments are too few, I added 2, or the per notch RadiatorCooling of the Cosworth_engine.ini is too low as, at 8, one more than the base HDV, at Monza, I'm still flirting with the boiling point.
Brake Range and rear Camber limits are too low. I augmented the size of the Bias steps and doubled the number of available Camber steps.
For the TBC,
You guys are still running on cold tires... frozen tires is more like it. As the LE version goes, at Monza, trowing the thing around, I could not reach 130F (54C). So yes I did augment the Heating but not by smidgen... I tried to send those to hell. I actually lowered the heat caused by rolling and then I doubled the friction value. If you do the idiot, they go up. If you take it cool, they go down. Real fun!
But then, when you start looking at all the other values in that TBC file, you can't do anything else than come to the conclusion that the file comes from a touring car or something:
DryLatLong is square... wrong. A tire always has more longitudinal than lateral grip. Except the P34 with its 4 front tires.
Following these specs:

The Radius are wrong. it affects not only graphics but gear ratio's of cars.
The width is not important as it only affects the skid mark size and has not on physics but it"s wrong too.
Rim... lets just take the front, it's set at 0.2285 meter... 9" radius. Uhmmm... an 18" wheel!
Those don't do much but here is where goes off the rail:
LatPeak and LongPeak with a peak at 18000kg. Please explain to me when a 600kg F1 can generate anywhere near this load? Never on your life. Maybe off a tall building... it's 30 time the gravity of the planet. The result of that is the multiplier of grip level defined in DryLatLong. At forty thousand pound... your not gonna get any.
The RollingResistance is too low but that's just a detail compared to the previous... "discrepancy" or to the following.
Temperatures peak at 130C, 266F, melting... disintegrating compound temperature... IRL.
If, with your present Heating settings, you can gets 50-60C, with your present GripTempPress of 1.6, 1.40, 1.40, very high figures. The higher the first number the more grip is lost when the tire is colder than optimum temp, 130, the second number works the same for being above optimum.
With what I can muster, I've got thing running at ~70C for a peak temperature of 90C.
Now they are fun to drive!
