RDRC Season 5 - General Discussion

[Jack Hintz]

pretty much just to make sure no mods or physics hacks are involved.
I've never heard of any problems with just changing ingame parameters, so don't worry mate.

 

[Warren Dawes]

John, we used the setup checker last season.
All it does is to check that people's setups are only those allowed by the tuning parameters for each car.
So, provided you only make changes to parameters allowed in the setup options, you will be fine. The checking program tests to make sure that the car's setup and physics files are within the parameters allowed.
Only thing I'd be careful about is using an old setup from a previous version of RSRBR, sometimes RallyeSim might change a cars physics files or tuning parameters with their Updates.

Apparently, some drivers in RallyeSim's Championships have been known to use illegal setups or physics so they use this setup checking software. We used it last season, but didn't find anything dodgy. All of our drivers seem to be honest.

 

[John Cunningham]

well I am in wrc2 this year so it will all be new setups, so I will be fine. Thanks gents for the usual promp,t well explained reply!

I´m looking for a grade 1 teammate

don´t have a car choise yet but.. anyway I wanna TEAM UP !!

 

[Johannes Kunkel]

I´m very interested to join the championship, have been waiting for season 5 for some time, but at the moment i don´t have much time to get back into the groove of rallying.

Is there a deadline to do the grading event and sign in for round 1?

"Entries for each round will CLOSE at 11:59pm server time the Thursday prior to each round to allow the organizing team to post an official entry list and be able to organize the session creation. If a driver does not enter by the close of entries they may still drive in the rally but they will not be able to score points. "
So, you will need to have your grading event before that time, too be able to sign up with a car. That would mean before 21st Feb. 23:59 GMT+1

The earlier the better for the staff, but that's the deadline

Everything would be good if i could get rid of that automatic gearbox. I tried everything

Settings in the RS Alone/Public/Champ, choose manual. That should do the trick!

 

[Manuel De Samaniego]

Is winter series going to be season 5 and summer series going to be season 6?

and are highlights going to be done again this season?

thanks

 

[Jack Hintz]

no, still under the same season, but 3 different championships within itself
Winter Series
Summer Series
Overall

but to make things a bit more interesting

 

[Manuel De Samaniego]

Thanks I like the idea

 

[Tyrone Frith]

is there a way to get a better template for the Mitsubishi lancer evo x n4. The template at szmodels is rubbish.

 

[Michael Nelson]

I've always had good luck with SZModels templates. I had a brief search elsewhere for you, but couldn't find any. Have you tried both the Evo X templates on SZModels?

 

[Tyrone Frith]

there more then one. Car you send me both.

 

[Jonatan Åcerclinth]

I have a question and I'm guessing this is the correct place to post this

Will the cutting be looked at as just leaving the road or will it actually be looked at to check if it was a time gained or not and is it possible to lift the throttle as a driver if you notice by yourself that you would have cut (asking as I'm tending towards being very much on the edge, countless times I've hit a rock when they haven't said "don't cut )?

Cheers, looking forward to this season, especially the South Swedish Rally having lived "down there" earlier in my life, now live north of where the Swedish WRC rally is being held

Ohh snap. Thank you mate

 

[Alasdair Beck]

Signed up, car decided on. Ready to get schooled by Mr Koojo

 

[Juen-Jen Wang]

Out of curiosity is someone going to be doing video highlights like last time?

You won't be penalized by loosing time. However, if you cut 33-50% or more, you will most likely not loose time by doing it. Just drive like you always do, if you focus on the cutting, it will be hard to drive

There will be highlights. How long videos, or in what kind of format is not entirely decided yet.

Not sure if you've done it, but you will need to apply for a homologation for the Alfa 33 if you are going to use that car in the champ.
