I must have been doing something wrong as the DP just felt so wrong it was ridiculous! I took a few go's to tray and work out what i need to adjust the steering lock so i wasnt so sensitive, but even then it still felt too twichy and had literally no ffb with it. Aquilla felt alot more alive and going quicker than its speedo tells you!
So first impression would be either GT3 or Aquila, but depending on field size.

I know the CDP is old physics/ffb and could really do with an update to bring it up to standard of GT3s and Aquila. I still find it a good drive though. Just had a few laps at Laguna and noted my settings were 600/15 which felt ok. FFB isn't as strong in the CDP as GT3s or Aquila but 10 or so clicks increased steering force in the ffb settings sorts it for me. Also tyres need at least 3 laps to start gripping up. Was thinking of the LMPs or even Radicals instead for this race/series but they just felt too hardcore whereas the CDPs have a bit more old school grunt about them. |

Ok so what is the deal with the steering options then as i clearly havent got it. You have both wheel rotation and steering lock settings which is a bit confusing. Do i set the wheel rotation the same as my wheel? Do i run high lock like in GtR2?

I set 900 deg rotation in my logitech profiler (DFGT) and 600 rotation/15 deg steering angle in game for the CDP which is similar to the GT3 cars. It's personal taste and some will say that feels like driving a double decker bus but if you're finding the CDP too twitchy it might help  Also check the ffb settings out in post #66 (Georg Ortner) especially the Logitech profiler settings  Worked for me except I had to turn down the overall ffb in game to around 45%. http://www.racedepartment.com/threads/wheel-ffb-settings-thread.106914/page-4 |

Sorry but I'm a little confused, maybe it's the language barrier. So one week it will be only GT3s, then multi Aquila/GT3, then again only GT3 and finally multi DP/GT3? I'd like to take part, but don't know which car(s) to choose... Edit: Nevermind, just saw the thread in the "anouncements" section. I'll be in the GT3 poRschUF and try to join some Aquila races. DP is not my cup of tea |

Hi Giannis and welcome to SROUK This is a pre season multiclass test/fun race. In this race you can choose the Aquila, the DP or any GT3 car from the GTR3 class. For our championship season which starts on 17th January we will race GTR3, then Aquila, then GTR3 again, then multiclass (GTR3/DP) and repeat this rotation for total of 24 weeks as seen here.... https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=13521.0 |

Hi guys, Very interested in joining your league here! Love GT3s, Love Multi-class, love longer races! It's like you guys have created a league for Andrex Getting very fed up with Project Cars, and picked up RRE after a long absence. It's improved a huge amount, and has managed tempt me into purchasing a load of content. (Missed black friday deal by 2 days  ). But would love to drive the Green #1 BMW B6 Alpina with you guys! I posted on the other forum to join into the last race of season 1, so that would be a nice tester if there is space on Sunday? Let me know if you'd like to see me drive before then ofc, should be on-line tomorrow night (will be practicing :p ). Thanks Steam ID: AndrexUK |

GoldTop
I think I will be in the chev prototype
Bru, there is a big difference in pace, between the cars, like c1 and chev, 10 seconds
so this will be an interesting race

Think i'll go with the Aquila
Only doing 2.32 after a few laps in it, but definitely a nice car to drive.

I like the Aquila too and I reckon the Cup series will prove to be quite popular if my test races are anything to go by.
I'll put you down for an Aquila then for now and let me know if you have a preferred skin. Would be nice to have a varied grid.

Did some testing with the CDP, the fuel system sucks, We have no option on what level to start the race on, so this means start is 100L, but the in the first round of stops you can choose how much to add, 1L to 100L or you can choose to auto add. Normal, safe or risky. So when I raced the AI start at 100, the car is a dog, only into the race the fuel load got lighter, the the car comes together. Also in practice same thing, I can only get close to my real pace after running for 30 minutes. All that said, It would be nice to choose what fuel level you start on, and manage your own strategy. Anyway, maybe they can fix it in updates to come Ant  |
