Was that the one we met at Geoff? Such a great weekend, best trip I ever did in the Mini.....

Sorry Kurt, I was replying to the above line from Daz's post, I had seen your photos of the Six Hours further down.

@ Clive: looks to me that you have a similar issue concerning your brake lights like Tony some weeks earlier.
Maybe that's the reason why you are one or two seconds slower than usual and still have some handling problems.
Even if you're accelerate, brake lights are on from time to time.
Watch replay or hot lap from one of the onboard options.

I quit in disgust with myself for repeated gearshift errors and a right foot which has suddenly put on several kilos in weight!! I think my car had enough too because it took itself into the pits off the final corner with a huge lump of oversteer.  Undecided

Thanks Kurt.
I think that my new Fanatec pedals are ultra sensitive and I am trying to find a way to reduce that.

I can even get a reaction if I rest my foot too heavily on the baseplate!!?? If I have my left foot over the brake pedal ( coz. I left foot brake ) and simply just brush against it, then it registers and the brakes are activated maybe 2-3%.

I also have the Fanatec upgrade on the pedals for the load, cell which means it feels more like a real life brake and I have to press very hard to get full brake effect. I need to find a way of increasing the dead zone on the beginning of the pedal movement, for GTL and GPL.

Hi all,

I really was enjoying myself but I need to get my head around a few things...

First one was I think because I'm using the plug in I'm seeing more on screen than I'm used too, such as a timer appeared at the top of the screen counting down to zero. That was new!  I assumed it may be because I was at the back of the grid I wouldn't be able to see the flagman... oops 1st mistake, when the time hit zero. I hit the throttle, oops 2nd mistake. I stopped and then watched as it then went.. 3,2,1 about 3 seconds later. DOH!! .

I was then given a stop n go penalty, which I took I think 2 laps later. Drove in the pits. Stopped. Drove out, oops next problem. LOL.. another stop n go penalty for speeding in the pits.. like a good boy took the next lap into the pits and when I stopped in my pit box , up came the clipboard and then nothing. Just sitting there. But was fun while it lasted.

So nice to some people I know from GPL, and really enjoyed the physics etc of these cars. Awful understeer though, which having now read all of the posts realise it's probably a GT40 thing.

One other thing, if anyone is still reading this... A few of you have mentioned uploaded setups, are they available on the server or do I need to request them via a PM or anything.

One last thing,, not sure what happened but can't remember the last time I was ever in front of Clive.. im usually always at the back. I'm what I think they call the "lanterne rouge"

See you next time. Thanks for making me welcome to race with you. Cheers.

You can put a deadzone on them in game Clive, works really well. I used to have the same issue many moons ago with the brake registering too easily, deadzone of 5-10 sorted it....Which pedals do you have?

you have the sensitivity of the brakes in the Fanatec software
or in the "control" parameters of GTL

One other thing, if anyone is still reading this... A few of you have mentioned uploaded setups, are they available on the server or do I need to request them via a PM or anything.

There's an online database with setups within the game, as an option. You can access it from one of the buttons when you're on the server. People can upload setups and others can download them from there.

You can access it from one of the buttons when you're on the server.
You can access it when offline too. Once clicked you will be logged on to the server. In your garage (setup) screen it is the middle button on the bottom right called Online Files when you hover over it.

IMPORTANT

Once again, can I remind all driver's to go online before Race Night to check for miss matches.

I do not appreciate having to provide assistance when I'm trying to have my fun on Race night's.

Go to Options/Realism and tick Start Countdown. The full countdown only occurs in Online racing and you should go to the start grid as soon as possible. The 3,2,1 countdown is for all races but you will see it for offline races mainly.

I was then given a stop n go penalty, which I took I think 2 laps later. Drove in the pits. Stopped. Drove out, oops next problem. LOL.. another stop n go penalty for speeding in the pits.. like a good boy took the next lap into the pits and when I stopped in my pit box , up came the clipboard and then nothing.

Using Hristo's first setup (thanks for providing  thumbup1 ) with some slight changes which eventually
gave me over 1.5 seconds.
Funny race as long as it lasted - on my way to a new pb (sub 1:48) I wanted too much and went off to
the pits  Grin

This was a tough but exciting race all the way! I was struggling to improve on my lap time in Q until the very end of the session, though little did I know that both Dimitar and Daz were running on higher fuel loads and so my perceived advantage was nonexistent.

I made some last moment changes to the setup, but they turned out to be for the worst, as I soon found out. Lost a lot at the start after realizing this was going to be one of those races where the opponent's engine volume was too loud, particularly from Dimitar's car, so I couldn't really hear my own engine and tyres whenever we were close. Daz set a fantastic pace in the early laps, more than a second quicker than what I could do while trailing Dimitar at a few tenths gap. So quick was Daz in first, that I seriously thought he must be running on lower fuel and would maybe make a pitstop.

Apparently that wasn't the case though and if it wasn't for his off that dropped him to 3rd, there was little chance we would have challenged him for victory. Meanwhile I was doing my best to put pressure on Dimitar and to take advantage of any mistakes, but he was just too good under braking and so any time I was making on acceleration on some corners was not enough to make a proper attack, at least without taking unnecessary risks. The changes I made just before the start didn't allow me to accelerate as good out of some corners as I was able to before.

I thought I'll just look after my tyres a bit and wait for a better chance. Unfortunately made my own mistake at the chicane and dropped behind Daz, who was then very difficult to overtake as well. Eventually moved back to 2nd after he went wide and my battle with Dimitar resumed, but by then there were just a handful of laps remaining.

I had one opportunity after he messed up the last corner and we went side by side going into T1, but I couldn't go around the outside fast enough and the sound issue made it impossible to feel confident enough to push more. He had another moment on the very last lap, but I wasn't positioned well enough to take advantage, struggling with tyre wear myself.

A very well deserved victory, Dimitar, congrats! Well done to Daz for hanging onto 3rd after your issues early in the race, that pace you had on full fuel was incredible!

Grats to everyone else who made it to the end as well!
