not sure what the curb of death is? it used to be the first curb after the first corner.
Could you make a screenshot?
Yes, that’s the killer curb. That’s fixed.
The "curb of death" is, as you have guessed, at the outside of the first corner. This was a priority to resolve, and a fix, which will be available when the custom version of the track is released, has now been applied.
Indeed, the first corner curb has been a long standing problem at Sebring, at least since the track was introduced for rFactor 2, and it has claimed many a victim over the years in both club races and other leagues! This will definitely be fixed when the custom version of the track is released!
Ah yes, another classic curb at Sebring! I'm not sure if it will be possible to fix the "suction" issue, but we shall at least take a look.
Damn it!
No worries mate, I know exactly how it is - I've been busy too with work and whatnot!
Thank you very much, this will be a great help! I bet. you can have a rest at the end of the seasonNo worries mate, I know exactly how it is - I've been busy too with work and whatnot!

HAHAHAHA! Thank you very much mate! I think that I will spend my time trying to catch up on some much needed sleep, as well as other games and a few TV series!I bet. you can have a rest at the end of the season
That would be Sod's law!
Hi.well I may have been mistaken. The damage is certainly from hitting the posts e.g near pit exit but more importantly. ..the posts on the left and right before the final straight . Can this be rectified? They look like flimsy traffic cones but maybe they're meant to be heavy duty ?!HAHAHAHA! Thank you very much mate! I think that I will spend my time trying to catch up on some much needed sleep, as well as other games and a few TV series!

That is in enduracers really, not much you can do to help afaik. Raising ride height and using insane high packers help it, but it is a physics issue. Happened on all tracks when using the grass.
I've been getting this as well, but it isn't really damage, ever since some updates ago on the beta I've been getting this slight damage warning. Just found out it increases drag minimally. Can't be repaired on pits as well.
Thank you for the clarification and details Andrew.
We shall investigate, and look to see what we can do to prevent these posts from inflicting damage. Just to confirm, are the posts alongside the pit exit lane also causing damage upon collision, or is it just those immediately before the final straight?I have seen this behaviour exhibited by other cars as well, not just those in the Endurance Series mod, but I think you are right about the problem being physics related.
Right, OK - thank you for the information.
Hopefully raising the ground level a little will prevent this from occurring.Please correct me if I'm wrong, but does the new damage model not only apply to cars that have also been appropriately updated (e.g. the GT3 Power Pack cars, which are the only cars to fully utilise the model at the time of writing I believe)? Also the new model is supposed to be visual only, and should not affect performance in any way as far as I'm aware.
Visually only to cars that have the contact shaders. As I said if there is any performance effect as a result of the "damage" it has been negligible imo. Although I think in longer straights there will be a really small difference. Same as you'd get after repairing a car after they reduced significantly the drag penalty in a patch.
Indeed, that's what I mean - only cars with the new shaders, etc. will exhibit visual damage owning to the update, but no cars will be physically affected (performance-wise, handling-wise, or in any other way) by the changes to the damage model as far as I'm aware.
Right, OK - so the car must be making contact with something to cause some minor damage, but whatever it is cannot be related to the updated damage model since the effect is only visual, therefore I expect this was also happening before the game update was released. As you have said, this is the classic case of a car sustaining seemingly insignificant damage, which may not even be indicated by the 'vehicle status' display, and experiencing a minor loss in top-speed and maybe also acceleration - this is incredibly frustrating!
We shall check how the behaviour changes (if indeed it does) once the modifications have been made to the track. Hopefully the effect can be alleviated, even if it is only by a small amount.
That is a possibility. We will either do this, or remove the posts / cones entirely as they are not strictly necessary.
It is a great reference point for turning imo. Also helps to see where are the track limits there. Personally, I'm against removing them, but that is your call ultimately.
If i don’t remove them somebody else will in the first 2 laps of the race.
You make a very good point, and in actual fact it crossed my mind as well after posting my previous response.
We shall therefore look at making the posts / cones non-collidable instead of removing them entirely. Darn, you beat me to it again!
I was going to send you a message about it this morning, but you have already seen Matheus' post now! Making the posts / cones non-collidable sounds good to me as well! HAHAHAHA! I was thinking exactly the same thing!If i don’t remove them somebody else will in the first 2 laps of the race.
