[Berkem Ceylan]

I would like to move to GT1 class, if It's possible...

 

[Simon Melhuish]

I have a few questions...

1. Can we use the GP circuit and stay within the cones to start a flyer rather than doing a whole outlap?
2. Do we enter the pit lane from GP track or fly in from whole circuit using that small gap in wall?

Thanks

 

[Aritan Maia]

Ok, changing from LMP1 to LMP2 so we have a more equal field... :smile-big:

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, one thing I remembered just now... I didnt noticed any blue flags in the race... Is the blue flags really working (since we are on black only rule)??? Blue flag is veeery important...

 

[Peter Duivelaar]

Yes, blue flags are working, but you won't receive a penalty if you don't move.

1) Yes, it is designed to let you do that, just like real life.

2) I'm 90% sure that you have to pit at the end of the GP track (therefore have to do two laps of the GP track on your pit lap). But I will let a race director confirm that.

I've had a blue flag during practice so they are working. I don't think there will be that much lapping going on though!

 

[Berkem Ceylan]

You gotta pit just after you are finished with the old track. (However, you could also pit after finishing your lap in the modern track but then you will have to complete another lap in the modern one... )

 

[Aritan Maia]

GREAT!

Weird... How is it gonna work? Arent we gonna have a cutting penalty or something? If not, we are gonna have more completed laps that we are actualy gonna do, right?

 

[Ryan Callan]

I'm not 100% sure Aritan, let Bram or someone confirm. It doesn't count your lap, I've noticed that and you don't get a cut track warning, it's intelligent enough it seems.

Also does anyone else have a problem with very long pitstops? My piststops are always 20 seconds longer than they should be.

 

[Aritan Maia]

This could be a mod issue.. I didn't notice it yet, Ryan.

One thing is sure! I gotta install spotter again... I feel so lost without info...

 

[Ivo Simons]

Haha.

James told me last night that in the race the cones are gone. So you come from the nords and you enter the pitlane through the wall.

 

[Henri Viirok]

In real life they come to pit from GP track and in rFactor you don't get penalty for cutting

 

[Ryan Callan]

Well it really needs sorting out, because if half of us go the long way around.... lol

 

[Aritan Maia]

Haha.

James told me last night that in the race the cones are gone. So you come from the nords and you enter the pitlane through the wall.

What exactly do you mean by through??? You mean really through? Casper, the poltergeist wall?
:tits:

 

[James Johnson]

Yes The Cones Go during the Race Because you dont need to do GP circuit to start the race.

 

[Ivo Simons]

Haha no. There is a pitwall around the last corner going to the straight but in the middle there is a gap of 3 a 4 meters.

 

[Ryan Callan]

This is my pitting problem: The pit should only take 20 seconds (unlike Evo, the tyres and fuel are done simultaneously) but it takes almost 40!

 

[James Johnson]

It Added the 20 and the 18 secs together even though that comes to 38 seconds total.

 

[David Nichols]

It'll be an Enduro style pitstop. So fuel is done first and then the tyres are done.

 

[Ryan Callan]

I can see where the time is coming from, but it shouldn't, I can see the fuel going in as my tyres are being replaced. Is it something coded into the mod?

Never had this problem before.
