The other turns are so simple as to not need any guidance. I don't bother numbering turns that are just flat acceleration zones. If you don't like it write your own guide. lol
Storm_cloud (one of the fastest FO8 driver in the world) gave me some additional tips for Kyoto GP Long. So I've created a section in my forum for the really fast guys to post their tips on the tracks I feature in my guides. His tips have helped me already. Check 'em out.
T4 text - aah yes - I took a section out and thought I'd selected everything when I moved it up but missed a bit. Re-publishing now. Thanks for pointing that out guys.
I've got a video expert working on a way of making the clips work better. I would like FF users to be able to see this stuff obviously.
You may have to wait a few moments before they kick in. There's a lot of data on that page. They are just AVI files and I used the XviD MPeg-4 Codec for compression.
If it still doesn't work try downloading Virtual Dub which is the tool I used to compress them. Page works fine for me.
Finally I've have completed the first track guide. I'd love some feedback so please go to my website - www.gentlefoot.com to see it. It would be much appreciated. I have recently added a lot of content to my site. There is now a full LFS section which you can get to by clicking the LFS logo in the top right hand corner of each page on the main site. Track guides include nice images of each corner and onboard footage of me doing a half decent lap. Also speed traces and track maps.
So far there is only the one guide for the FO8 around KY GP Long. I will add more in time.
My server - GentlefootFormulaRacing is set to this combo and you could also use the FOX if the FO8 is a bit much. It's set up for the Gentlefoot Formula Challenge (GFC) that will launch once patch X is released.
If you are interested in the GFC I have also created a section for it on my site. There is now a forum where you can read about the event and sign up if you want to. There are no details about rules etc yet because I've spent my time building the webiste but it'll be there soon. Need a break for a few days now though Been flat out on it.
I'm hoping a few people may read the guide and then go turn a few laps. It would be interesting to see if it makes people learn the circuit faster.
Anyway, have fun lads. Hope to see you on the server tonight
btw - there's a clip of me in the Golf round Brands Hatch on the About Us page of my main site too. Might be worth a look
OK all I've been working hard this weekend. I built my friends Dad's website on Saturday morning so that's out of the way. I then turned my attention to my own site. I've now added a whole LFS section. This will be the home of the GFC. I've created a forum and all the sections that I will need. Feel free to go and have a look and add it to your favourites Register and make a post in the forum if you like.
I'm not finished for today either. Just about to tot up the votes for the day/time of events and I'll post that information in my forum shortly. Can't schedule the events yet as we need to wait for patch X to be released.
I might even get one of the track guides done today.
Oh yeah and there's a totally cool clip of me at Brands Hatch on the "About Us" page of my main site - check it out.
Well seeing as new entrants seem to be becoming rather sparse and we now have 39 entries I guess I could hold the vote anytime now. I'll get on it this weekend if I can. Got a lot of stuff on my plate right now though. I'll do my best.
K mate you're added in the FOX. More likely to be a weekend because I've got entrants from all around the world so it may be easier to accomdate everyone at the weekend.
If the back of the car is too loose when I turn in to a corner then I add front bump. If the steering feels all light and floppy then I add front rebound.
The back is more tricky though. If you reduce rear rebound it can have the same affect as reducing front bump.
If the car slides at the back over bumps I may try reducing rear rebound. If this results in the back not settling down then I will increase it again though.
I try and run as little rebound as possible without ending up with either floppy steering or a car that doesn't settle quickly enough.
but saying reduce this/increase that is kinda silly because it all depends where you were to start with.
Am reposting this because everyone keeps sending me PMs asking the same questions. Don't really have time to keep answering these right now
