be patient my friend, still testing

 

[Kartik Sri Harsha]

On part of Testing i found that Hardness of Materials effecting Tire wear along with Grip

 

[naim]

May be i will look into it but finding which hardness was effecting the tire life was tough

So can you tell me where is the hardness file and how or what can I edit to make tyre life longer?, especially in monaco where in real they only did one stop?? Please thanks

All of the Things you wanted are in the Surface_materials.xml file
I too finding the Hardness that effects Tire life
But tracks are of different Surface so We first need to find Monaco had which kind of Surface and then trying to edit may give us desired results

I guess fraps only screen shotted my second SS of qualy. Pole time was 1:25.505 by Hamilton, and I did a 1:26.302 for 3rd.

Really like this version. Had to pull some tricks out of the bag to take first on the last lap for a 3 lap race. I think you did an amazing job with this edit. Probably the most realistic race and qualy session that I've had on this game when it comes to grip levels on cold and hot tires, debris on the tires and just an overall fight for position.

Well it's so good that you got enjoyment what i intended to Provide
But still there is lot to improve in long races the tires are fading off so quickly due to Altered Grip levels but i didn't have much time to adjust them but i guess i will do it later

 

[Kartik Sri Harsha]

If any one want to adjust things lot more they can do it

 

[Cruzer92]

Going to be doing a longer race today sometime so I will let you know.

 

[Cruzer92]

Does this database have the top 3 teams available on career start?

 

[Kartik Sri Harsha]

No if i remember Correctly

Finally doing a 100% race and the tires do seem to go off quite face under FP1 conditions. I am kind of pushing them but I don't quite think they should be at 73% wear left with only 5 hot laps on them.(Yellow Tire; Melbourne)

That was the Problem exists and that's why i said it could be a tough all thing to adjust and i was looking into it but it takes time if you want to adjust this try tweaking Hardness in the Surface_materials file

 

[Cruzer92]

Do I need anything to tweak it or can I just open in wordpad?

I think I converted it so you can edit it with Notepad.

There is so many hardness values in surface materials which ones do you edit?? And to make tyre life longer do you increase or decrease the values??? Thanks, feedback would be highly appreciated

 

[Kartik Sri Harsha]

Most probably the rigid surfaces hard and soft tarmac's i guess

I haven't modded this file. I don't like modding it. Anyways, Kartk answered you.

Yea, I still don't know which one to edit so...

 

[Kartik Sri Harsha]

You have to check every hardness like i did cos i too trying to find which hardness is effecting the Tire life
