FSR Winter Series 2013 (merged)

Np Bryan. It is normal, that rF says you to be in line behind opponent in the same line. But you have seen we was all in single-file format and nobody had problems, just stay near to opponent one place above. You know about it for next races, so its OK mate

Ah ok that would explain it! Understood for next races and cheers for explaining

You most likely spun across the track and gravel with locked tyres and if mist load was in that tyre it is no wonder, that you loose 25% of your tyre. In a real car you would have huge flat spots, that would make the car undriveable, so I would say you got away pretty well with 75% tyre left

Yeah right. My FFB was crazy after that hit in every fast right handed corner. Was trying to simulate the flatspots? You might can hear the FFB in this video of my race.
Don't bother with the language though...

The tires do actually flatspot in rF2, and the more load there is on the tire the more you'll feel it through the wheel. So if the LF is flatspotted then when you're in a right-hand corner and it loads up, the vibration will be much greater. When it unloads in a left-hander you won't feel it. You should be able to feel it a bit on the straights but most FFB wheels have enough of a dead spot in the center that you don't get the forces for it.

Server running Sebring + new realroad texture + new HDR profile

 

[Adrian Rodriguez]

Btw, idk if it will be planned, but I think could be great idea if we test variable weather (rain especially) in one of the next races.

 

[patrick de wit]

u want this

 

[Ryan Winsper]

How do I race in winter series, I've signed up all on GPCOS, I tried to join the FSR Team (not sure if i had to) haven't been accepted yet and can't allocate for Saturday. Thanks.

For me and Dan Brewer.

Yes, I actually had in mind rain for this race, but it's really a short practise time with a new simulator and a lot of rookies to FSR. We'll delay the rain races to the main season, if then.

Have added you now, it's a manual process and sometimes it takes a bit time.

 

[John-Eric Saxén]

Allocations for Sebring are now open on GPCOS, please allocate before Friday 23:59 GMT.

I'm not agree with this. I know we just have 1 week between race and race, but anyway, its mainly a pre-season champ, where we should test all possible bugs or issues. It's like Abu Dhabi Pirelli's test in 2013, when season is over. Obvious if something is wrong, could be repercusion (like Rosberg punchure in the straight), but its better than if it happens into the season IMHO, right?

U could advertise it, i.e say "in the last race of WS we test wet condition"

Well, these are the Winter Series and not the actual pre-season itself, so I don't see a rainy race mandatory at the moment. Plus, we all know about the air particles (dust, smoke and water) problem in the current rFactor 2 build, so I guess we should just wait even more for it to get fixed. At the moment it's just impossible to drive behind a car even when you're far away from it, imagine with a big ammount of cars like in de Wit's video. Not possible at all.

Imagine driving F1 cars in heavy rain that is not really better.

Yes, absolutely. That's why I'm saying we should just wait for it to be fixed.

 

[Chris Knight]

a question on the TBA track new silverstones out can we have a go on it ??

 

[patrick de wit]

well we could use an 1 race if we wanted and test differant settings etc?
Not to do it in winter race but after it?
could be a idea?
But only if people show up then otherwise its pointless

 

[John-Eric Saxén]

Yes, I rather test rain in some unbroadcasted pre-season race, once the mod is decided etc. Better than having a winter race with broadcast where probably 90% of the drivers retire.

 

[Carlos Hernandez]

Count me in for that then.

 

[Carlos Martín]

+1

All right then!
