Title: Re: SROU AC DTM Cup Race 1 - Nurburgring GP - March 25th Post by: Mark J on March 19, 2015, 10:12:19 PM +0000 Nice, should make for some great racing, well done Tibs 8)
Title: Re: SROU AC DTM Cup Race 1 - Nurburgring GP - March 25th Post by: ChrisR on March 20, 2015, 02:03:55 PM +0000 personal preference, can have the track fixed at 98%. ?
Title: Re: SROU AC DTM Cup Race 1 - Nurburgring GP - March 25th Post by: picnic on March 21, 2015, 10:19:09 AM +0000 Practice server up with the same track settings we've been using for the last umpteen races.
Title: Re: SROU AC DTM Cup Race 1 - Nurburgring GP - March 25th Post by: Tibernius on March 21, 2015, 11:27:38 AM +0000 After some calculation, this is what I'm thinking:
[DYNAMIC_TRACK] SESSION_START=97 RANDOMNESS=0 LAP_GAIN=25 SESSION_TRANSFER=60 Which would be starting at 97%, reaching 100% at two-thirds through the race with an 8 car grid - if we have more drivers then the track will rubber in quicker. Title: Re: SROU AC DTM Cup Race 1 - Nurburgring GP - March 25th Post by: picnic on March 21, 2015, 01:22:49 PM +0000 These settings now on the practice server
Title: Re: SROU AC DTM Cup Race 1 - Nurburgring GP - March 25th Post by: Mark J on March 21, 2015, 05:42:13 PM +0000 8 car grid? Setting the bar high there Tibs ;)
stick a race notice post over on the chit chat thread section on the Kunos AC website, other sites do and the site is visited by hundreds :) Had a quick half hour in the E90 but only 2:16's so far with 30L fuel and grip set at 'fast' not optimum. Still tweaking default as had no benchmark setup or times to aim for. Want to try the other 2 cars if I get time. Title: Re: SROU AC DTM Cup Race 1 - Nurburgring GP - March 25th Post by: Mark J on March 22, 2015, 04:05:59 PM +0000 Low 2:16's with all 3 cars now, nicely evenly matched. (fast, not optimum grip, practise session, 30L fuel, softs)
Trickier to drive than I expected, especially low speed grip and under heavy braking. Title: Re: SROU AC DTM Cup Race 1 - Nurburgring GP - March 25th Post by: goldtop on March 22, 2015, 05:37:30 PM +0000 Good to hear the cars seem to be of a similar pace to each other which should make for a very nice series 8) I'll probably go for the Alfa or Merc as I've not had much chance to try either of them so far.
Title: Re: SROU AC DTM Cup Race 1 - Nurburgring GP - March 25th Post by: Mark J on March 24, 2015, 02:07:45 PM +0000 Got into the mid 2:15's last night but looks like I'm off the pace to the tune of a sec or two :( despite banging in quite a few laps. Just struggling with the braking and understeer.
Ps I have posted an advert over on the Kunos website. Fuller grid the better :) Title: Re: SROU AC DTM Cup Race 1 - Nurburgring GP - March 25th Post by: spanner on March 24, 2015, 07:40:00 PM +0000 God these are hard to drive, rubbish brakes! Actually find the Alfa nicer to drive but doesnt feel quick, in terms of straightline speed.
Title: Re: SROU AC DTM Cup Race 1 - Nurburgring GP - March 25th Post by: SRW on March 24, 2015, 10:09:19 PM +0000 Hello,
I have just tried to download the PLP app, it asked me to register and associate to my steam account. I have done this, when I click the link on this post to try and download I get to a page describing the app, but I cant find any button for downloading? Title: Re: SROU AC DTM Cup Race 1 - Nurburgring GP - March 25th Post by: Tibernius on March 24, 2015, 11:55:00 PM +0000 I have done this, when I click the link on this post to try and download I get to a page describing the app, but I cant find any button for downloading? If you scroll down to the bottom of the first post in the linked thread, it's there as an attachment. Title: Re: SROU AC DTM Cup Race 1 - Nurburgring GP - March 25th Post by: Luka Peklaj on March 25, 2015, 10:48:33 AM +0000 I think Bmw is the hardest to drive and also thr slowest. Alfa has a huge start advantage so you van gain some places and than try to hold on :-)

Was on softs for the race and hadn't tested them for a long stint. They held out, but meds would've been safer I think. Just was lucky to keep control of the slides midway through the race. Kept my eye out for Zak, any mistake from me and he would certainly have passed me. Can't wait 2 weeks for the next one :no: The server ended a bit quick, was lucky to get the replay in time.

Title: Re: SROU AC DTM Cup Race 1 - Nurburgring GP - March 25th Post by: jasonpatel on March 25, 2015, 10:27:05 PM +0000 Good racing tonight, really sliding around in the E30 by the halfway stage. Managed to slip through the carnage at the beginning unscaved great feeling of satisfaction avoiding all those cars coming across track :)

But a very fun race
Title: Re: SROU AC DTM Cup Race 1 - Nurburgring GP - March 25th Post by: Sutol on March 25, 2015, 11:00:58 PM +0000 Nice to see more lines on the graph :) Had a good tussle with MarkJ in the middle of the race. To Frex, nice to see the old GTR2 rule applied :)
Title: Re: SROU AC DTM Cup Race 1 - Nurburgring GP - March 25th Post by: Mark J on March 25, 2015, 11:31:58 PM +0000 Agree, it was a good race tonight with a nice mix of cars and some good battles throughout the grid. :)
But too much contact in lap 1 and I was especially miffed to avoid it all, get upto 3rd only to get span around by rear contact down at the hairpin ::) I had to let most of the grid go passed but must apologise to Bob as I tried to rejoin by diving over to the inside apex, thinking he'd be able to go round me, but I scared him onto the grass. :-[ Had a race long chase by Chris T whilst 5th but eventually my soft tyres started to give and I got more oversteer and he got past with only a few laps to go. Then had a good battle with Ed for 6th but I finished ahead :) Good stuff 8) What's next? ;D Title: Re: SROU AC DTM Cup Race 1 - Nurburgring GP - March 25th Post by: ChrisR on March 26, 2015, 01:24:23 AM +0000 Interesting to hear you used soft tyres..
When i tested the merc soft tyres lasted 4/5 laps vefore they were at 95%, the meds not much more.. The tyres on the e30 seemed to last far better. (I used the dev app to see the tyre wear) I had a nice battle with goldtop all the way till the end. :) Title: Re: SROU AC DTM Cup Race 1 - Nurburgring GP - March 25th Post by: Bob on March 26, 2015, 08:25:40 AM +0000 Had good fun last night finally able to control the BMW with a set up from Chris. Two laps from the end had the dreaded screen freeze so retired to pits. Really is time Kunos sorted this, spoiled a good event.
Title: Re: SROU AC DTM Cup Race 1 - Nurburgring GP - March 25th Post by: goldtop on March 26, 2015, 08:23:14 PM +0000 Was mugged off the line and sat 8th or 9th into T1 but with a few incidents in front of me I soon found myself in 3rd. Was struggling with rear end grip in the merc after a few laps (softs and no testing) and had Chris quickly closing me down to eventually pass easily. Had a slight reprieve as he then spun at the hairpin for me to retake 3rd for a while but lost out in the final corner and run to the finish line....bummer :laugh:
I'm not usually one for gadgets but I've just started using this great little app called Helicorsa which helps with awareness of other cars around me. It might help with some collisions as I believe most are caused by drivers just not seeing opponents. http://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/index.php?threads/helicorsa-radar-app.20223/ Title: Re: SROU AC DTM Cup Race 1 - Nurburgring GP - March 25th Post by: Jester on March 27, 2015, 11:34:39 AM +0000 Got a server running for Mugello, for any who wants to get a head start on practice ;)
Title: Re: SROU AC DTM Cup Race 1 - Nurburgring GP - March 25th Post by: Dave 'Gizmo' Gymer on June 05, 2015, 06:34:53 PM +0100 Who was "TAM Zak"? I think I've found everyone else's forum IDs.
Yes, the importer is coming along nicely... ;) |
