S16 - General Discussion

[David Turnbull]

hey guys, sorry was out there, server still up and running, nothing showing that it had turned off, wierd

 

[Kyran Parkin]

Regrettably it's looking very unlikely that I'll be able to race tonight. Good luck all and enjoy.

 

[Valerio Vinassa]

I have to go and retrieve my daughter right now,I should get back just before qualifying,anyhow for warm up

With less than one month and only two races left I was wondering how the procedure was normally handled with Presto once the season is over.

Will there be a long break until spring?
Are any things planned already?
New cars? Although I like this one and I am pretty sure you guys won't go for a slower car. (as I read a formula 3 car will be released)

Just so I know what I can expect over the cold winter months.

 

[David Turnbull]

we havent worked out when next season will start exactly but it should be early feb

between the season end and new season start we will have various fun races with diffrent mods and tracks to keep us busy.

next season should be roughly same format and will be the renault 3.5 again.

 

[Peter Decker]

We must have a WTCC-fun race again

Replays from yesterday's races at Suzuka are now uploded to mediafire.

Anyone else use a Thrustmaster T500 wheel ? I upgraded from a G25 about a year or so ago and I love the wheel and haven't had any real problems with it until now using the FR3.5 mod, it's when I flat spot a tyre or perhaps have a bit of a skid, the vibration in my wheel is terrible, I have messed about with the settings in game a bit but cant really get rid of it, any ideas guys ?

I have a Fanatech wheel and it's the same, it's an earthquake on my desk if I have a flatspot, especially since I use the full force feedback . So I try to avoid them.
It's the same when I put a wheel on some rumble strip, or on some track like Suzuka in some turns when the rubber is bouncing.
I think that's good to have this kind of feedback, it's what's happen in RL. However someone has probably some FFB settings that could help..

 

[Vlad Dogar]

Maybe your controler settings override the in-game settings.

Same here with T500. I don't think you can remove it entirely...

 

[jego]

If you up the FFB Smoothing you will feel less of the flat spot.

The thing is... its meant to be like that on those cars. If it happens in real life they will complain about it a lot also

 

[Martin Bulgin]

I thought it was just me, if it's the same for others thats fair enough.

Yea, I had a G27 and now the T300, with the g27 the flatspots were just real loud and rough, with the t300 I wonder though if my bellow neighbours lamps on the ceiling starts vibrating.
So I avoid flatspots at all cost... I rather take a evasive exit through the grass then get a real bad lockup, especially if early on the stint.

Regarding the in-between season how about we try the RealWeather plugin ?

[Cosimo]

Sorry guys, I won't be able to make it today.

 

[Troy Uyan]

Silly question (I think) - Is there a teamspeak server to attend during the event? And on where do we find the race day password?

 

[David Turnbull]

ill pm you the server password for race nights, usually on race night

theres no ts, its really something i need to change though, maybe it will happen for season 17

 

[Troy Uyan]

Sounds good, thanks! See you all tomorrow.

 

[jego]

I might not be able to make it today because my internet provider is having problems and said to expect outages all day.
We will see if it works when I get home from work.
If it works I need to practice the track, did not have time to do so yet. So hopefully see you guys tonight!
