[norbs]

The combo this week picked by Muppet and Doctor pain.

Go Banana, go son!

Server is up.

[richo]

Sweet !

[KNAPPO]

Server is up.

Thanks mate.

Managed to sneak 9 laps in today, Nathan busted me and did 4 laps on my lap.

[DarrenM]

Did some tweakages.

Found you have to run it right to the rev limiter or you lose enormous amounts of time. Difference between doing that and shifting on the first red is something like 1 second per lap. Crazy.

[KNAPPO]

Crazy time Darren, well done.

[NZBanana]

All ive managed to do so far is get annoyed at my office chair and its rolling wheels. Anyone got suggestions for a small cockpit?

[Cursed]

I really like both the car and the track. I've managed a low 1:36 on the default set with soft tyres and a bunch of fuel drained out. Darren's set made me significantly slower, but I couldn't say where I lost that time.

Good to see you are ok. Are you rolling because of earthquakes?

How handy are you? If you can get a car seat, you can make one up pretty cheap.

[norbs]

Good tip on letting it rev right out darren.

Same here mate. I ended up using the default, soft tyres, ripped fuel out and 2 rear wing.

I did this (http://www.arseforums.com/phpBB/viewtop ... 82#p425382) with some wood scraps. The chair doesn't roll away anymore. Although, I have found that if I stand on the brakes stupidly hard, I will tend to pull on the steering wheel with enough force to slide myself, the chair and pedals forward - that's very rare, though.

[DarrenM]

Hmm, interesting that you guys are a lot slower with my setup. I'm using 1 click shorter final drive than default. Looking at the graphs I do appear to be accelerating better with that compared to Knappo, though not at the top end. Maybe I'm using different gears through some of the corners.

It's also possible I've made it too low causing it to run on the bump stops through the fast corners. I'll have to try again with default and see what's up.


When I used an office chair I was able to replace the wheels on my chair with lockable ones from bunnings, but that depends on the design of your chair. After that I switched to metal rods so that the chair would be in the same position every time.

[DarrenM]

I'm 0.6 faster with my setup than with Knappo's changes to default. Just driving preference I guess.

There's 0.3 more for me if I could nail it, but it's a prick of a track to get right.

[NZBanana]

Doing a bit better today. Theres boat loads of time to be found still (a common theme i have). As far as a cockpit goes I'm fairly handy but I might just save up and buy something serious without having to spend all the time!

[norbs]

Ooooooh, jesus. it's on like Donkey Kong.

[KNAPPO]

Good work guys, I wont have the time to give it another bash so gonna have to live with my time.

[renesis37]

She has a good front end, a heap more time in the first and 2nd corners on that lap. I reckon there is a mid-low 33 there with some more setup work.

The biggest problem I am having is the bloody thing won't downshift when you ask it, you have to press it like 10 times to get it down 3 gears. Anybody know whats up? it isn't revs related.

I use one of those office racing chairs and I swapped out the wheels for these glide thingies, they stick to carpet really well.

[Dr. Pain]

It's the game Rens. Some cars, it wont let you down shift till the revs are right.

[renesis37]

Thanks. I think it might be the debounce setting of 60ms, going to try zero.

[Cursed]

That car has no clutch input at all, if I recall. It must be some sort of flappy paddle auto. I noticed similar annoying downshift behaviour on the Alpha for this Wednesday.

[DarrenM]

Managed to fuck my oculus install trying to fix an issue, so next week will have to be CYBR

[DarrenM]

Fixed it

[renesis37]

That's more like it Darren. Well played Sir.

[norbs]

Stop it you two!

it is like watching your parents fight.
