RD GP Championship 2011

[Leonardo Ferreira]

Special NotesThe race will begin with a standing start! No formation lap is needed. Give eachother room during the first lap of the race. You don't win the race in the first corner, but you can loose it there! First lap incidents will be penalized harder than normal incidents.

Thank you! I didn´t see it

To Leonardo Ferreira, Kieron Swart, Scott Webber, Ken Hunter, Mike Bishop, Bram Hengeveld, Ingemar Petersson and Jari Vinnari: I've made a mistake when I created your carskins, and for now the cockpit rev counter is not working. This will be fixed for round 2. All other things are fine and of course the head-up-display, that most people use including me, is working normally.

If you are used to drive with the cockpit rev counter, feel free to take any of the RD skins for round 1.

Here are the updated pitgroups, don't forget that when you take an RD car you are obviously in the same pitgroup. For those who don't know: People in one pitgroup should avoid to make a pitstop at the same time.
1 - Leonardo Ferreira
2 - Marlon Lins
3 - Felix Luding / Alexander Lauritzen
4 - Scott Webber / Kieron Swart
5 - Anthony Levene / Noel Spence
6 - Bram Hengeveld / Robert Wiesenmüller
7 - Ken Hunter / Mike Bishop
8 - Stefan Woudenberg / Dave Begley
9 - Kenneth Jurmann
10 - Jari Vinnari / Ingemar Petersson
11 - Frank Steinbach / Simon Kilov (RD Car #89 / RD Car #92)
12 - Juul Knoops
13 - Jason Lancett (RD Car #91)
14 - Remco de Wildt / Rodrigo Suardi (RD Car #93 / RD Car #94)
15 - Vinicius Ferreira / Reto Christiani (RD Car #95 / RD Car #97)

No problems. I´ll use that default Rfactor revcounter for this time.

I hope I'm not too late to sign up, but I was not sure I could participate until now

 

[Reto Christiani]

any decisions taken about the non-refueling-issue?
we would have to drive really slow to make it to the finish line
because the max-available-fuel would not be enough for 50 minutes full throttle ; )

 

[Stefan Woudenberg]

Reto, a qualy lap will be 50~54 seconds (I think). The difference between a full and empty fuel loaded car will be just a second or so (tested it).
I think fuel for 54~56 laps should do the trick. If you rev really high all the time maybe for 60 lap..

 

[Reto Christiani]

hi Stefan ... can't remember exactly but max available fuel was for 30 laps ...or so?
anyway not enough to make it through the entire race!

 

[Stefan Woudenberg]

I think 71 liters is max for the F3, that would be around 60 laps...

 

[Reto Christiani]

THX Stefan for clearing this out!
I posted that refueling issue in the bug report because coming up with good strategies
could be an challenging extra to long races.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Will have a look tonight. Haven't driven on this track yet so no clue if we can make the 50 minutes. Quite surprised actually as I double checked the race distance before posting the format.

Are we absolutely sure that refueling is not possible?

 

[Anthony Levene]

Yep. Pretty sure. You can fill enough to complete the 50 minutes though.

 

[Robert Wiesenmüller]

I'm having massive force feedback problems at the moment. Every time I enter the track it feels completely different. Not sure what to do.

 

[Anthony Levene]

What wheel are you using Robert? I was thinking the same thing earlier - I use a Fanatec PWTS.

 

[Robert Wiesenmüller]

Logitech G27

 

[Sérgio Marques]

Maybe set a button for the Reset FFB option and use it if it goes wrong on the track.

 

[Robert Wiesenmüller]

Okay I've spotted something weird: There is a line called Description= in the .veh file. Every time I enter with a car that has Description="Formula__3: (any name)" with two _ I have FFB. Every time I enter with a car that has Description="Formula_3: (any name)" with one _ I have no FFB.

Is this even possible that this parameter has so much influence?

 

[Robert Wiesenmüller]

This is the error indeed, affects more than half of the field so we must make a skinpack fix. Really sorry guys, but I have absolutely no other choice. Fix will be used to add 4 more Racedept cars and fix the rev counter issue too. Ready in 30 minutes.

 

[Robert Wiesenmüller]

I made a huge mistake in the skinpack, fix inevitable. You need to install it!

Changes:
- Fixed FFB issue for all RD, RPM, BFT, Dare Devilz, Oso Devilz, Brawn and FAL cars
- Fixed Rev Counter for RPM, Dare Devilz, Oso Devilz, Brawn cars
- Added 4 more RD cars, changed body template for #89 RD car.

Instructions: Overwrite old skinpack, or if you haven't installed a skinpack so far, just put into your GSC folder. No changes allowed, you know.
