EU HistorX Underdogs @ Toban - Sunday 7th August 2016

@Denis Betty
Signing Up

 

I'll try to be there, probably gonna take a day free on sunday .

 

Had a good time last night, though I wasn't particularly fast. I love the track, but after a tough day and a long race my arm was killing me, so I only made R1. The car was reasonably comfortable to drive and I managed to knock 1.5 secs off my PB . @Peter Stokman told me I'm missing the apex's a lot, so I have to learn to brake earlier, probably a lot earlier. I find the constant tyre screech with HistorX a little off putting though, as I'm never quite sure when I've locked up a wheel without looking for tyre smoke in the mirror

 

I wouldn't go higher than medium with ffb settings, but maybe you could crank the force up a bit? It should make it easier to feel on most cars.
If you get much more tire squeel than in Peter's video for example, you are either entering corners too fast (which would make you miss apexes), or there must be something wrong with the settings (or a combination of both).
Did you replace the whole ffb part in your controller.ini (Userdata/Tim Ling) with the one found in HistoricGT_misc/G25_FF_Controller.txt ??
Another idea: If you're running a much lower lock than 900, you might be over-steering the fronts constantly, which would result in lots of squeel (and understeer > missed apexes) also.
Also, try not to use much more brake force than 80% in your setup (except for cars like the SLR which have very weak brakes) if you get lock-ups too often.

I'd recommend to start with finding braking spots that make sure you hit the apex every lap and work your way up from there.

 

The FFB is fine, and I don't run it too high, as my wrist and arm can't take too much (remember I'm driving 1 handed ) . As for tyre squeal, I get it constantly, even on the straights. Any help to kill this noise will be greatly appreciated! Here's the "sound options" section from my plr file

@Denis Betty

Sir can you please sign me up

 

@Denis Betty
im in plzzz..
i see gordon ramsey is gunna show up lol.

 

@Denis Betty I don't think that's the problem mate, as the tyres squeal even when I'm driving in a straight line

 

I don't think it's the handbrake...my snail-like pace is my fault . I'm going to compare the sound section of the PLR to my rF PLR and see if there are any differences, as rF seems to be ok. As for the engine noise, I turned that down so using TS was easier, it's still plenty loud enough in game

 

Well there is a lot of tyre squeal in these cars--but if you have it when your doing 120 mph in a straight line alone on the track--then something is wrong , you have a G27 as I remember, your not resting the foot on the brake ?? and having 100 % sensitivity on the brake settings ?? brake sensitivity using G27 should be zero or 0 % especially in this Mod.
@Denis Betty when we get the time for it, we must make a video on how to install HistorX mod and how to set up the basic stuff in this Mod-- you do the talking ( you have a nice radio voice ) I do the recording it will be a blockbuster

 

Hi
Sign me up please

 

I do have a G27, but I have clubsport pedals. I'll check the brake sensitivity when I get home, as I've never read that before.

 

I think you've misunderstood me mate. I just went back to Toban in the 2002ti; I get tyre screech at 30 mph in the pit lane, then allllllll round the track for 99% of the lap, even on the main straight. I'm trying a fresh install to see if that will fix it
