By the way, I think I did something wrong during the race: after the 2nd or 3rd yellow, it was displayed "follow the pace car" just before the restart, so I passed most of you by the inside, thinking it was the lucky guy thing.
But in the chat window, I remember Christopher saying something like "... luc also", so I guess I did a mistake.

track downloads?

Where can I get this and other new tracks?

 

[Mario Rocha]

I'm on windows 7 here and i have had no problems

64 or 32?

Leverage works, (after UAC desabled) but I can´t install the game.

What do you do for it to work?

I'm talking about Leverage V2.

 

[Ben Tusting]

I'm on 64 bit.

I never use the leverage to laucnh Arca, i just go to program 64 Arca and double click on Arca and it works

What does it say Mario ?

 

[Tim Ling]

Using Win7 64 and launching via the leverage client without any problems. UAC is disabled.

Thanks for the guide Chris. One question is there a "best" wheel rotation for the sim. Or is 900 degrees with 30 lock also gonna work? Or do you recommended something else for the sim.

 

[Christopher Aponte]

ah locks
It all depends on the track actually
a 900 degrees of steering wheel does let you get confy with it, but in ARCA locks do play an important role.
Lets say a short track or road course needs a whole lot more steering lock than a a track like Texas, Milwaukee or Kansas....and Daytona and Talladega needs a lot less steering lock....because it all depends on how much you need to turn the wheels on the track and the banking
for me using a 400 degrees of steering rotation used for example only 11.5 degrees of steering lock at ARCA mountain....and around 6 or 5 degrees on Talladega.
What I try to get the feel on all track is the feeling that I need to turn the wheel a lot. Using to much steering lock on a big oval does make the car a bit unstable at turning and even using to much tires.....

In a way, steering lock does make a difference in setup the car for steering response

sign me up plz

 

[Ben Tusting]

I use 400 degrees and go between 6 and 11 degrees of lock(11 on the tighties mostly) but if i have low lock ( 6 ) i will change my wedge (put that at about -2 to -3)

Cause when i first got Arca i was trying to use the same rartion as race 07 (17 and 400) which was awful as i would get loads of undertseer as i was steering way to much

 

[Ivo Simons]

Oke thanks guys i will try it out.
Any idea how much steering rotation and ratio they use in real life?

 

[Ivo Simons]

Is this the way to the left side?
If yes sign me up.

 

[Ben Tusting]
