yeah sorry I wasn't very clear there the last sentence I made the comparison to last year so I mean less difference in grip between on/off line than last year.

Yeah even ISI understood that it was too much

I have been saying it to them for the last 3 years, basically since rF2 came out

We have been using 80% base In Winter Series and it was really good, mabye we could transfer it to this season too?

John-Eric Saxén · Feb 26, 2015

Well David's changes to this mod means racing 80% RR is same as racing with no realroad progression. We should try to simulate realistic road progression, whatever that means.

Mod size reduced as bonus. As usual, uninstall old mod is good idea...

After the changes, the mod feels way more fun to drive. Haven't tried it in slipstream yet.

Primaguida · Mar 8, 2015

I heard that engine sound is the same as in 2014; is it possible to change it, even a little bit?

Alessio Spinelli · Mar 8, 2015

The 2015 Templates? Do these are available?

danielino · Mar 9, 2015

It might be just my opinion, but this new dirty air is not really challenging, it's quite easy to follow the car in front of you.

These FISI sound samples are by sound guru Greg Hill, they are the same samples as iRacing use on their F1 car. If there are better sound samples somewhere, sure we can use it.

Everyone complained it was too hard to follow other cars last year, so we made small change to last year's values. I can invent some new numbers but without proper testing it's a bit lottery. Maybe Spa test will reveal more.

Martin Hodás · Mar 9, 2015

From what I test in Sepang the dirty air is very, very..... very low. We will try it again to be sure, but it seems that it should be really increased little bit.

michele d'alessandro · Mar 18, 2015

dirty air for me is perfect, it isn't low.

I have an other problem, i see other cars with full wet tyres if they are far from me, but i have this problem only with this mod. Any suggestion on what can i do? or you have to fix something?

Mike Partington · Mar 18, 2015

The dirty air is probably about right. I do think the cars have too much aero though in the fast corners.

Dmitry Zaharov · Mar 19, 2015

Tire compounds for Australia are the same as last year?

Just because its the same doesn't change that I think its too high and we have too much downforce and it seems quite a few people agree. Last year was too much as well imo.

These cars are just insanely quick and that is the area that I think needs to be toned down abit. We were asked for opinions and that is mine.

John-Eric Saxén · Mar 22, 2015

Downforce is realistic according to ISI data, it's more likely something with tires and how they deal with high loads.

Anyhow, change can be done in theory. Problem with these grip changes is the structure of FSR, it is unclear what changes will be accepted by TOA teams at this late date. Last year I changed a single slipstream parameter midseason without consulting TOA, some TOA members suggested I should be fired for that alone.

I leave it to president or race directors to decide.

Eugene van Loggerenberg · Mar 23, 2015

Cars are fast and its same for everyone, will make for good racing.

It's not the downforce, trust me. And telemetry confirms it.
