Crap guys, I was working today. Thought this was tomorrow. Very comforting that 23's seem to be the pace, as I'm not five seconds off like I thought.

 

[Nico Major]

We did low 23 in Q. In practice we did faster times. Very low 23's.
Only did Q in race 1 btw. I am sure if we did Q for race 2 we would have been faster. Fastest race lap time was 23.3 by Chris i believe. But we did 20 min races so that was with arround 55 liters.

Thank you Ivo. I was mainly testing with 50 liters on Softs and boost/radiators in race trim (max. 5 laps each stint not to loose too much weight and thus comparability). I got into the high 1:23 in this configuration. When I tried full quali setup my PB was a 1:22.8xx.

@Martin: I'd have liked to be there for the race, but was out of house (social obligation )

Yes Josh, download the mod, play with it a bit and join the test races. I think we will have a nice field, but based on former experience I doubt we will exceed the 30 spots limit.

You never know, FSR has a lot of interest at the moment and obviously not everyone can get into that. This offers them another opportunity at a high level single seater league

 

[Martin Bulgin]

Anyone want to knock a skin up for me

 

[Josh Barton]

hey guys any chance of running this mod one night a week in the rfactor racing club? not only would it be good practice, it would be fun, and give people a chance to try these cars out with a full field before any season gets underway.

 

[Ivo Simons]

Next week probably.

 

[Wayne Morgan]

Could someone help me with how to save the DDS file as I keep having problems on that part.

When ever I save the DDS file I tend to get a Mclaren that reflects the light but it doesn't absorb the light like the default skin does.

 

[Chris Butcher]

It's the Alpha channel Georgios. Pure white = 100% reflectivity, black = 0%

Either that or you are not saving the .dds in the right format. You need to choose DXT5 (interpolated Alpha)

There we go, I was choosing DXT1.
Thank you Chris.

Must say the default setup is pretty good.

But maybe this will help also. The setup i used at Monza. And probably some more. Was quite good i think.
Offcourse needs some more wing on other tracks.
