Yeah but Jakg I watched the lads online and they all lock up momentarily numerous times every lap (more so than what I'm doing in the replay).
Replays Added After Jakg's comment.
Take a look at the replay and look at the tyre temp spiking and I'm nowhere near as aggressive as the lads online in a race
I've also noticed Puffs of smoke as i'm going down the straights from the left side of the car as if the tyres rubbing ? strange as there's no damage and weight is set the same as what the lads were running online.
I'll try it online in the team server and see if I get the same result.
Definite difference between the two replays when online with the same setup I really forced the brakes to lock up at all the slow corners and the tyre eventually blew on lap 6.
Ok the plan was to learn the ropes in the rear wheel drive cars offline but I seem to have come across possible bug.
A little history first - previously My set up consisted of a MS FFB wheel and due to pedals not working I had to assign Buttons to Throttle and Brake which meant RW drive cars were impossible to drive.
Now to coincide with Patch X I have a brand new Logitech DFP which last night I broke my PB on Aston National in the FXR - 1:43:08 - Online in Team Server.
Now today the Plan was to vist Conedodgers 1 ask for setups for FZR (thanks N I K I and Checkout ) and then to practice offline and see if I can get down to run consistant 41's or low 42's.
Now the problem is that in practice offline even though I am taking it very easy and being as precise as possible the front tyre temps Jump or spike from 80 to 120+ (Flickering between the two very quickly All The Time) then on just lap 3 or 4 the front left blows under braking - this happens on both sets I acquired and it is making practice impossible.
As you can see from the replay I'm not pushing the boundary's at all as I'm just trying to get up to speed before I start pushing my times down - N I K I and Checkout were running these set ups at full chat in the Conedodgers server for the usual 10 laps running 1:41's.
I hope LFS just keeps on Evolving and the day when the line is drawn under LFS never comes, infact just call it LFS Evolution - the sim that evolves with technology
Have you PM'ed all the HR lads that server is up cause I only knew as I visit this forum before firing up LFS.
Anyway thanks for the set up it rocks even with my crappy MS wheel, give me a week to settle when my DFP arrives and I recon your time PB looks like it may be on dodgy ground
The trouble is that there is a minority of aliens although in this case a one or two combo alien that are interested in just hotlapping and not racing on these servers hence the reason they do not use reverse grid.
Personally I'm looking forward to Monaco now, in fact I can't wait we all know it's a unique track and another test, also that Lewis has been there twice before with a 100% win ratio makes it interesting to say the least.
I honestly think once he gets his first GP win that he will be able to string a couple together as I do think he has another gear left but sub consciously he may need to break that final barrier of winning his first race before we all see his true potential
Or is that last paragraph just pure Bollox ........ I'll let you decide
