Telemetry = lots of ziggy zaggy funny coloured lines. ROFL

Thanks Senad for your info on telemetry mate,
I do understand the purpose of telemetry, and realise it's a huge help and timesaver in knowing what to adjust to shaving off seconds per lap, but I havent the patience to try and fathom the difference between 1 hot lap and another, let alone how to work with the software.

Ive managed to drop my laps at Spa from 2:18's to low 2:16's, gonna get to low 2:15 yet

, hope I don't have to learn this telemetry stuff to get there

Senad Subasic · Oct 1, 2010

Nah, I'm very bad at sim racing in general, ziggy zaggy lines don't really help me with anything. I just like it

Bjorn de Haas · Oct 1, 2010

looks nice

Mattia Gottardi · Oct 2, 2010

did few laps and was able to da a 2.19 with the standard setup!!!!

i'm not good with it but i will try to set my car a bit..... in every case if anyone have a good one will be really nice if he can upload it here:

thx a lot!!!

put me as maybe in the grid thank you!!!

it will be maybe my first race with this simulator, so i'm not really sure if i will be able to race!!!

Mattia Gottardi · Oct 2, 2010

found a setup online and with few tweaks was able to do a 2.15.5, with 16l fuel...... btw the practice mode offline is the same like online??? i hope yes, or maybe my times are just fakes!!!

maybe i will tweak more the setup and probably i will post it wednesday in the setup section so it will be available also for you all for the race!!

Senad Subasic · Oct 2, 2010

I think it's the same. At least I haven't noticed anything with my limited experience.

Looks like a decent sized grid this time

Mattia Gottardi · Oct 2, 2010

just a question for the admin.... are these races putted in the ranking system or not???

Bjorn de Haas · Oct 2, 2010

Hi Mattia no this races are not for the ranking so i will sign you up as a maybe

Mattia Gottardi · Oct 2, 2010

o nice so no pressure for me also if i crash XD

btw did a 2.13.998!!!

will work a bit more on the set maybe in the next days, but i'm not sure.....so i will post my setup one day before the race so everyone can test it!!!

Senad Subasic · Oct 2, 2010

I can barely get a clean lap in.

If I go off road, I can't go back on to it. In the last hairpin, if I go wide, all the way to the fence, I get stuck there, and can't get back. I even flipped the car while standing still there. Do I have a wrong, beta version of the track or something?

InsaneOzzie · Oct 3, 2010

Senad your track is the right one, the walls and fences are "STICKY" so if you hit them the wheel cant break free, even if you just brush past the wall it will GRAB the wheel,
EG: I was on a hot one, exited the bus stop, blasted thru the chicane but went a little wide, rgt rear brushed the armco that was the end of that lap, hehehe.
Its being worked on and some tracks have been rectified, but its time consuming.

Mattia, wow mate I been struggling to get a 2:15, but Im very much a novice lol, a 2:13:9 is awesome, nice one.

Alessandro Gamberini · Oct 3, 2010

probably I'll not train for a single minute, I reserve the last grid spot

@Bjorn: what about a 3rd race ? Is it too late in the night ?

ciao

Bjorn de Haas · Oct 3, 2010

as long as i dont go to bed to late hahah

yes I know mate, I suggest to state it on the main page so everyone will know we race till late night

just an idea ...

Bjorn de Haas · Oct 3, 2010

i dont think i will be racing i have some pedal issues and to be honoust i want it solved first. so im only hosting

Senad Subasic · Oct 3, 2010

Managed to get a clean lap in, but only 2:20:331. Somebody mentioned novices? :ups:

Had a lot of rally action though, sliding into some corners on opposite lock, and all that jazz.

InsaneOzzie · Oct 4, 2010

Senad, I posted a setup for Spa its not super fast but its nicely balanced mate(I think?)

2:15:693, give it a blast, tweak it to suit your driving style, or bin it as rubbish, hahaha.

Hope it helps, even a little.

@Bjorn, mate sorry to here your not racing, any chance you can sought your peddles problem by Wednesday?

Mattia Gottardi · Oct 4, 2010

when i will come at home i will post mine.... i did 2.13.775!!!

btw i found it online and i change only few things....after that i compare this one with the default one and...... O_O surprise they are pretty the same....it change only gear, wings diff and only other 2 things, but suspensions etc are the same of the standard....... so maybe i was just under a nice placebo effects!!! btw i'm at schoole until 16.00 GMT so only tonight i will be able to upload it!!!
