I just found that you can adjust the wastegate pressure for turbocharged cars. This made the Lotus 98T go from "undrivable" in the wet to "terrifying, but doable."

Kind of reminded me of my Formula A testing when I was messing around a couple days ago: I was right on an AI's rear coming up to a turn I knew could be done with fairly little braking. Apparently the AI disagreed and went hard on the brakes real early. I rear ended him hard and before I could react he'd gone up my front aerodynamics and over the top of my driver's head, leaving me with a clear road ahead to continue into the corner. The strangest thing was, even with full damage, my car was still in pretty good shape (just a slight pull to one side, which seems to happen if you make pretty much any contact with Formula A's to a car or otherwise).

You could get one of those wheel stands from Fanatec. I've got one and they work great. http://www.fanatec.com/us-en/wheel-stands-table-clamps/csl-wheel-stand-us.html

My new pedals came and the guy put so much packing peanuts into the box they got inside the pedal casing where the holes are for them to depress. What a loving bitch to clean out that was. I still didn't get them all.

When you do the endurance races does it let you save your progress and come back to it or does it have to be one continuous session?

I just got my G27 and I seem to have a tendency to pull on the wheel towards me and off my table. One of those would be nice. I have nothing to compare this force feedback too other than Forza 4 and the lovely MS wheel. Also: I am terrible at this game don't include me haha.

I do like the fake twitter sometimes. "That was touch and go there, but [name] brought home the win!" After winning the race by lapping every single other competitor. Yep, real close there.

Yep, FFB needs tweaking a lot for sure. I don't feel rumble strips at all, and while I had some FFB with the karts, going to a Ford Focus brought my wheel intensity to 0. Gonna try that linked stuff. edit: still kinda meh? LiquidRain fucked around with this message at 15:18 on May 12, 2015 |

Every other car/kart i just don't get any valuable info out of the FFB. Help.

LiquidRain posted:I don't see that part. Where he says the presets don't work he's referring to setting those presets within the ffb xml files. In older builds it worked to set them from the files but now you need to set those in the ffb calibration menu in game. I know it's not really very clear. Yes you do need to change those settings for every file but if you get notepad++ (I think it's free) you can do a find and replace to a whole folder at once and it only takes a few seconds to do.

Like, maybe, a list of tuning categories instead of having to manually go through every single page. That said, are usual tuning results noticeable? Or is it just "Set it this way to perform better under THESE conditions"?

I changed my assist from all to real since I was feeling things were a little easy and the next race I failed to put in a valid qualifying lap and blew my engine in the race. This might take some time.

Im finding calibrating your wheel at the start of a session by turning it to from lock to the other lock seems to help the game realize what the hell its doing with FFB. In other news I just posted 11th place on the leaderboards in 125 cc karts on dubai and chesterfield, and 6th place in glencarin and sumerton, im AlgebraFrenzy on the boards. We need to get some goon karting going on.

"lmao a 9.9 degree caster angle? don't make me laugh, let's tweak that to 11 degrees and reduce slow bump to 1500 N/m/s" - me pretending this screen makes any sense I guess that kind of thing is amazing for people way into the sim stuff though

It's actually amazingly simple to understand if you read up on what camber/caster, stop bumps and springs all mean. Learning how to tweak the car to match your style of driving will also shave a good 2-3 seconds off the best of laptimes with default setups. Also don't forget to reduce fuel when you race. For some reason the game defaults you to a full tank every time.
