Thursday 23rd July 2009 - Rally Ireland

[Andrew Evans]

i messed with the stuff on the springs screen... increasing the values (dunno if this is harder or softer) made the car handle LOTS better on the bumps.... not perfect... but massive improvement....

everyone knows i iz nub tho... so proceed with caution... :heh:

 

[Mark Birney]

I just heightened the car a bit and it doesn't flip all the time, but I cannot go flat out over the bumps (which is expected).

It's tedious in this game as you have to restart the game everytime you want to change the setup.

 

[Andrew Evans]

develop the setup in sse... you still haveta restart the stage - but not as painful....

 

[Stephen Carson]

There was a mod about years ago that let you adjust on the fly, it was over at bhm if i remember.

 

[Mark Birney]

There is a setup manager in the RSRBR addons application thingy, but you can't edit them as far as I know, just apply them.

Think I found the thing you were on about, Stephen: http://www.bhmotorsports.com/download/12584 Might try it soon, although RSRBR doesn't like soundmods, so I'd be careful of any other types of mods.

 

[Stephen Carson]

I've never tried it, I just remember seeing it. I remember I used to adjust the damping a bit to help the cars over the bumps.

 

[Jason Halaby]

15 signups... Giggity. Welcome Jason

Thanks Mark! Looking forward to it. If anyone has setup or car recommendations, I could definitely use some help there.

 

[Bert Van Waes]

It seems the Lada is my favourite now. Some more tesing now...

 

[Mark Birney]

The main thing is to soften up the rear a few clicks. Also, don't push too hard on stage 1, it's very long (around 8 minutes) and very bumpy.

 

[Damien Jones]

The main thing is to soften up the rear a few clicks.

Which of the many options does this? :question:

 

[Mark Birney]

Just reduce everything that indicates "Rear". But be careful, if you reduce everything too much, the back of the car will bottom out too much.

Guys, I have to say, these cars are horrid. Ven with the brake pressures very low, if you brake the thing just spins, and it handle bumps like FIA handled the FOTA dispute.

Please, Andrew I beg of you. Please do not pick the S1600s again!

 

[Damien Jones]

Thanks for that.

Driving Noiker is certainly a bouncy experience, and tiptoeing over the bumps just isn't as much fun. That said; I don't mind the Lada too much - it seems to be a bit more stable.

 

[Andrew Evans]

wahaahahaha.... you can blame yates.... :nod:

but really, with brake bias and suspension tweaks, i've found the saxo a world-more-driveable than when i first took it out on a stage....

(i'm a total setup nub (see evo club ), damien, and i can't remember the changes off the top of my head... but i'll look them again later, if they can be any help.... however, seem to remember increasing spring settings.... reducing just exacerbated the bouncing/flipping problem)

Heh, I suggested them - they are great on the French stages but don't like bumps

 

[Damien Jones]

I might take one over the Mineshaft and see what happens . . . that's a bit of a bump!

 

[Mark Birney]

I'll fiddle a bit more. Using the Fiesta, I seem to like it.

 

[Bert Van Waes]

Almost ready here to go for another 8 times into a coffin...

The lada it will be here. Who will finish all 8, curious.

 

[Andrew Evans]

ho ho ho... you said it... practice runs i did on sunday or monday didn't end well at all.... gonna have another bash in a bit :eyebrows:

 

[Bert Van Waes]

[Mark Birney]
