I fooled around back in the test patches with handicap and actually putting the right amount of handicap to the right pos in the car helped in the handling of the car (I'm talking about the RAC). It helped so much that the handicap actually became an advantage because I could drive faster through the corners (track was KY Nat).

Quote from CSU1 :

Manual clutch won't get you better times but what about when you get into trouble guy's?....if you find yourself struggling in low rev's, in that split second you can open the clutch a bit to get the revs and torque back up

You can drive autoclutch and still have the clutch assigned to your clutch pedal, so there shouldn't be any issue there.

I made the pitstop suggestion because there are some leagues that use a system like this: Compulsory pitstop enabled, pitting must happen between lap x and lap x2. Now after the race they have to mostly analyze the whole pitting of all the drivers manually. If it could be implemented into the program it would happen automatically and safe a lot of work for organizers who like to run such a system.

Hi,

First: I did a search and looked at the 'suggested improvement log' but didn't find exactly this thing.

So to the improvements: Limits would be a nice thing to add,as seen in real life motorsports.

I.e. you get a drive-through penalty for a false start/speeding in pits or what else. As it is now, you can wait until one of the last laps before you take that penalty.

In real life there is often a time/lap window when you take such a penalty (I think in formula 1 it's no later then 3 laps after the penalty is given). So my suggestion would be that you can set a limit for serving a penalty (serverside option).
Same thing for compulsory pitstops.
It would be an addition if you could set when you may pit earliest and when you may pit latest.

Skype takes a lot of bandwidth, may lead to lag's. So TS or Ventrilo is the better alternative

Grats UKCT you got 2 good drivers there. So what will they be in STCC, UKCT Green Team?

I like this idea too. But how do you want to examine if someone has the stock set?

For me the nationality doesn`t play a role. Maybe because I`m also a member from a small "community". I like the "lion" (like Nigel Mansell or so ). So what I want to say is: I`d rather like the personaöities then the countries.

Wow 183 replies in just above 12 hours.

Anyway grats for the release (it rocks :headbang: )

Well I think you can`t compare virtual cars to real cars, you know we almost have endless time to make a setup for a car, so at the end we all could have a stable setup, even if a real world counterpart is a nervous one.

Well I hope you understand what I mean

I voted yes but I also think that some RL additions wouldn`t hurt. But at the end I also wouldn`t mind if we have fantasy cars/tracks cause it makes fun either way.

I would get the DFP as it has a 900 degree range (In fact I used to have one, changed from a red Momo to the DFP and it did a good job).

What is the music you used there?

Sorry to hear about your problems, Becky.

I wish you best of luck for the future and hope that you can resolve your problems fast.

I have no problem running LFS on my PC with all options on and max AntiAliasing and full Anisotropic Filtering.
Specs:
AMD Athlon 64 3800+ (No X2)
1024 RAM DDRII PC667(atm)
GeForce 7600 GT AGP (atm)
Creative SB X-Fi Elite Pro

But on my girlfriend PC i definatly run into trouble when:
- I let the AI do a race against themselves or me.
- There are a lot of objects in a layout or in autocross mode.

Specs:
Intel Core 2Duo E6600

You're talking out of experience?

Nah I used AVG for 2 years but I switched back to AntiVir because there's a lot of things that AVG misses. AntiVir is probably the best free AV Software you can us atm. I think the best option is to switch it off while you're driving. Even if you should forget to switch it on again, after a restart it starts automatically.

Well then an option, as suggested already some months ago by someone, where you can chose where to start from would do the trick.

I agree with Cue-Ball, I'm also no hotlapper, still I use the mode to test setups. And I'd also like to see the cars starting from the pits.
So why not using single-player mode?
Plain and simply, don't you ever drove a lap that was so fantastic in single player mode, that you whiched you could upload it?
I sometimes have and if I try to reproduce it, it doesn't work anymore.
That's why I practice in hotlap mode, to be able to upload an hotlap if by any chance I produce a fast one.

Probably the change of tyres is only meant to reduce the grip, not the balance of the car. And I think that doesn't "worsen" the handling, it's only making it slower, increasing the braking way and slowing it in turns.

Something's bothering me. I hope that the "new" diff ain't gonna replace the closed diff just because you can make it behave almost the same. If very high preload settings showed to be faster then "normal" ,rl ones then it would be useless. Well I hope that this ain't the case but we probably have to wait for more laptimes/setup data.

Quote from mikey_G :

Then it would act like a locked diff if I'm correct

Yes that's what i thought.

So if the preload is set too high then the diff can't work as it should be? Is that right?

Woah that's a lot of input for my small brain

But one thing I didn't find out is this:

How do you setup the "new" diff option?

Let's say I've set the power side on 55% and the coast side on 75% (on an XRT).
Now I've read that a good range for preload is 400-600nm but there must be some regulas that you can rely on? (this range works fine but it's the fine-tuning that is bothering me)
