Misc F1 Failures and Puncture Mod 5.3 with new Experimental Version

[andyandy989898]

I am not sure to be honest. That value definitely changed the base wear rate for me

Do not worry, friend. It is so curious that changing the value does not have changes in the wear... I do not know if they have moved the files to another side... I don’t know what’s going on. Greetings!

These are the wear files for each compound ( was editing these that do nothing "<WearRate value =" 0.82 "/>)

Hey man, how do i install both your mod and F1 2020 improved dirty air for more battles at the same time? For both to work

 

[andyandy989898]

You need to combine the 2 data sets using the modding software. Have a look at some videos on YouTube, some great tutorials out there

These values change wear rate in terms of setup. So changing pressures etc will move the wear rate between these values. There is a main wear rate at the start of each compound that controls base wear rate and this is the value you need to change

Hello. I’m happy with the adjustments I made to wear on the compounds. The soft tires lasted too long. In Vietnam, a normal lap ( without skidding or blocking ) was completed a lap with 2% wear. A 2% wear for 23 laps gives a total of 46% wear. Which was very low. Increase it to 3%, and now it’s 3%x23, 69% wear.

The hard tyres spent in the same circumstances 1%. Going 40 laps gave a wear of 40%. I raised it to 1.5% wear per lap.


A tire can’t last longer than it advertises its recommended life. If the soft has a recommended life of 23 laps, you should reach 23 laps with more wear than 46%.

 

[andyandy989898]

Sounds good

Now I would check how those changes effected other tracks.
So hard at Vietnam is C2. In Spain C2 is medium. Does the wear rate work for this track as well?

Have you done the wear rate practice session to get a new recommended life. The default value here is based upon Codemasters wear rates. Once you do the tyre wear practice session it should update

I have to do more tests... but actually, I just gave a little more wear to each compound. I think it scales only on each circuit. I will keep you informed, if I see something strange. Do not hesitate, friend Greetings!!!

Edit: I think an important point is to add that I play 100% every GP. I think it’s better scaled to 100% laps.

Out of curiosity, you talk about 2 or 3 % per lap. Is it a regular consumption? Or is it possible that after a certain percentage the tyre wears out more quickly?
Example: from 0 to 20 % at 2 %per lap and then after the cliff you have like a 4-5% per lap? Or is it always regular?

It is always regular, if we drive consistently and similarly on each turn

Yep exactly, more wear = less grip = more sliding = more wear. It like a loop

Also increased temps = more wear

 

[ParkYongLee]

btw. as you were discussing tyre wear and such ... the real tyre wear values are tracks and team specific and can be extracted from the game.dat

 

[andyandy989898]

Good find. So this controls wear for each car corner by corner on each track? The compound value must be a common value used along side these values?

Have you ever tried the Tod files? I can see it contains the dynamic weather information but cant beat the encryption

 

[Deleted member 408599]

Let’s say tyrecompounds is a general setting, which is then automatically scaled.... And that PKG, it would be a custom circuit-to-circuit setting.

Feedback request to everyone - Using the latest version of experimental mod - How many gearbox issues have you had?
Thanks

Hello, the Mod is spectacular. It gives it a very good playability. In my opinion, breakages occurred too, and lasted a lot. I made some adjustments in case you are interested in including these new numbers in your Mod:

<JammedGearPermanentThreshold value="0.66" />

<JammedGearTemporaryThreshold value="0.20" />


Greetings!!!

Was that with the latest experimental version? I have done 4 x 50% races so far with no gearbox issues

Is this mod working on fom swap cars?

 

[Toni9977]

Hi! Sorry for late question, but how any of this affect to F2 cars / races (if it does)? Thank you
