AC GT3 @ Silverstone - Sun 11 May 2014

[Georg Ortner]

Penalties are the same for everybody.
I´m actually running low graphic settings, might be the cam recording that tricks your eyes.

 

[Dave Robinson]

Wow @Dave Robinson your last race at RD before this one was four years ago, great comeback!

Sim racing virus is popping back up

Yea was thinking rf2 was going to save my Sim interest but it was such a disappointment to me. Dusted the old G25 off and managed to get 2nd, was a real blast. Ty to you guys for putting the servers up

Enable keybard input while using the controller. It is an option in the ac settings.

hmmmm....still doesn't do the trick (F1,F3 or F11) with enabling keyboard..NO virtual Mirror activated.....

HELP! ME! pls

 

[Marcus Lindblom]

That was really fun. Sadly I had to leave after 5 laps because backpain was getting to much. Was off the pace a lot but only got the game Saturday night so didn't have much practice.
Also does anyone have some tips on getting the game to run smoother because I'm running the game with quite low graphics but it still doesn't feel smooth?

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Better videocard is the answer I fear

Silly question, but I'm gonna make it. What's your keyboard? Maybe you forgot F-Lock on/off or sth?

Better videocard is the answer I fear

Or cpu... In my case, my cpu is the bottleneck and I run at 30fps at full grid.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

@Stefan Beemsterboer make sure you have the F-keys enabled by clicking the F-lock button on your keyboard. If not function keys don't work

I am CPU limited with an AMD Phenom II as well. But Kunos have said they will optimize the CPU usage of the game in the future, so I wouldn't upgrade the CPU for AC just yet.

 

[Kurt Vanhee]

I am going to post a result anyways cus I felt cheated on.

Please tell me: How can somebody who is behind over 4 billion laps still beat me while I am only behind 110 seconds?
@Kurt Vanhee has a lot to explain

There should be a 9 in front of it,
Sorry Ricardo but i drove ninja-style
Think you had time/position issues in practice/quali?

Anyway nice race,congratz to @Stelios Fevgatos .

Someone who know his fps during the online session. I had an average of 34fps but surprisingly not laggy.

I was in Server 2. I managed to Qualify 2nd which I was extremely surprised with. Managed to get a good flyer in at the end of the session which was less than half a tenth off fourth!

Race started well, I had a better start than the race leader but being in the McLaren, the pole man in the BMW flew away like a rocket as we neared turn 1. I managed to keep in second for a few laps before I started making small mistakes, two in two laps which dropped me to third. Managed to get on to the tail of second place and then we battled for a number of laps in which I went round the outside of turn 2 out of Abbey and in to the complex. Managed to get around the outside and just got clipped (these cars are so easy to lock up and go too quickly in to the corner). Gathered it up and got given the place back (fair racers in RD which I have a lot of respect for doing that gesture). I believe we battled for another few laps before I lost it coming in to Beckets. The back end stepped out and somehow stopped it from going round.

Spent the last 6/7 laps really closing the gap and getting close again before making a small mistake. Was a really fun and intense race long battle which I thought was fair and thoroughly enjoyable!

Looking forward to the next!

Ty to you guys for putting the servers up

I agree here, I had massive frustrations but it doesn't take away from the fact RD had four servers up so everyone could race. I'll be coming back for more, it was just an unlucky event .

[...] i had some set up issues in pr and qa.. yisas that was slippery!.. but it all became smoother towards the end.. [...]

Pablo, had you more oversteer and lift-off oversteer than usual during practice/qualli and race this event? What were your issues exactly?

 

[Paul Lock]

SERVER 1

I have about the last 3 laps of the race captured in my replay file if anyone did anything interesting.

I might encode as the last few laps have me chasing down @Brian Clancy and then the contact between him and some other guy which I couldnt avoid
These replay files are cool how you can view everything everyone did - as long as it recorded it - shame it wasnt the start of the race!

Pablo, had you more oversteer and lift-off oversteer than usual during practice/qualli and race this event? What were your issues exactly?

exactly, during p/q too much lift off oversteer... i tweaked it a little and it was not THAT bad in the race but still had oversteer... S L I P P YYY !.. i was able to manage it better towards the end, it was mainly my fault though since I didnt have enough practice or a proper set up (basically default) for Silverstone (I just recently started using the mp4)...

I went back yesterday after work and worked on gears, tyre pressure and alignment (got rid of 60% of my oversteer.. nice to feel some grip while turning! O.o) and was able to lower the pace from 2.09-2.10's to 2.05's, but I havent touched anything else on the set up yet, I need MOAR time and practice (been studying videos for better references and lines too)... I am still learning how to understand what needs to be changed for a specific problem

maybe when I finish it we can compare set ups?
