Are we going to be using the DRS App made by @Celtic Pharaoh for the F1 races back in the day? (Beeps when within 1s at DRS zone during race) I'll be using it rather than abusing DRS all the time - seems fairer especially at Monza.

You can not abuse DRS ..the option to use it will only light up when within DRS and then it ends itself ..so not possible with this car

so it's not like F1 ... unlimited while under 1 second and in DRS zone?

 

[Raresch]

The car has a Steer assist option. Wasn't this forbidden on servers?

But you can use DRS no matter the gap to the car ahead is my point. I know it only works in DRS zones.

I do not understand what you are saying? why does it have anything to do with another car? ..you drive into a DRS zone and enable DRS ,,when you come out of the DRS zone it disables

In real life, you may only use DRS (in a race) in a DRS zone when within 1 second of the car ahead at the DRS detection line. DRS is also only enabled on lap 3. Assetto Corsa does not simulate DRS detection in any way, so simply allows you to use it every lap every time you enter a DRS zone regardless of distance to the car ahead. The app I linked beeps when you're within 1 second and posts a chat message if you do it illegally.

 

[Callum Hornby]

Well as I see it, DRS is an overtaking assist system made for F1 cars which struggle to even follow closely. This means they get DRS as a "crutch" style system to make them able to follow and potentially overtake the car in front more easily. As the RSS F3 car is much less downforce dependent than a full F1 car it's much easier to follow the car ahead in dirty air, especially since AC's simulation of dirty air is minimal even in a F1 car. This to me means that using DRS such as they do in F1 will simply result in people following each other around and swapping places every time they reach a straight. With DRS as it is in AC it allows the cars to reach higher (more fun?) speeds and is neutral with regards to aiding one driver or another. Personally I'd rather have it as it is standard in AC, otherwise it'll be an additional barrier to entry for anyone wanting to join the event to have to learn and will also not be particularly enforceable ("I was sure I heard the beep" "My headset isn't good" "I pressed it by accident").

TLDR: Standard DRS for me please

 

[Lucas Gerlach]

TC and ABS are activated on trainingsserver... will it stay like that?

 

[Raresch]

hi,
I keep getting this error every time I exit the practice server. Is there something I didn't install?

 

[hape]

did someone has drivable setup? The stiffer i made the car it is undrivable? Any suggestions in which direction you take it?
hape

 

[Captain Condescending]

I'll post a setup tomorrow probably. Not done yet but the trick is getting the ride heights in the right range for aero - the lower the better for the front (without too much bottoming out), but you don't want the rear lower than 18mm for the diffuser to work. Hard to set up this car for this track tbh.
