Nope , never thought to , should looking at core.ini tell me something ?

Is this the one ??

snip

yes .. guess it's not there .

btw you still have the steering hack on .....

[NickyIckx]

btw you still have the steering hack on .....

  didnt get the point . could you spott some light on it please ?

[Kruger Enge]

If I remember correctly, when Steering hack = 1, as it is in your case, at low speeds, the steering ratio changes in the way that the car is less sensitive making it easier to control under braking (or the other way round)

[bernie]

I think it helps get the car around tight corners i.e. gasworks hairpin at monaco etc.

When the car speed is around 50mph or less the steering ratio is increased by the app.

I think 

Still no ideas about the ghost in the system 

Another annoying thing I have is whenever I run GPL from first boot up my G25 isnt recognised , GPL takes me to the calibraion screen .

If I then come out of GPL , go back to GEM then run GPL again all is OK with the wheel .

fine things these compewters , do they ever work as designed or is it just a myth 

[Kruger Enge]

bernie reminded me:

Having a hack on (or off, 1 or 0, this still confuses me) allows greater stability at low speeds when braking but at the same time you can't go around slow hairpins because radius of your U turn grows considerably.

You should try it both ways and see what suits you better, you can even have it on or off at certain tracks, other not.

[bernie]

Kruger ,

dont think it has much to do with stability , rather than steering lock

i.e. the turning radius of the front wheels is increased at low speeds when Hack = 1

maybe effects stability due to the greater turning circle , but cant say I ever noticed .

perhaps I should pay more attention

just a thought , maybe I should try it with and without, next time i dive inside someone going into the Parabolica 

 

[vosblod]

Just to give you an update on the server. Given it a clean up, ran updates etc and Jethro kindly looked through some connection stats and gave it a clean bill of health.
I'm putting it down to problems with the cable company, the connection went down a day or two before the race.
Hopefully all is ok now, if you see ukgpl6 running would be good if you could hop on to check the connection.

[Phil Thornton]

Thanks Vos, I'm sure it was the ISP.  I've had similar problems, very frustrating but there is nothing that can be done apart from changing ISP but there is no guarantee that will solve it.  They all have their good and bad days

[NickyIckx]

thx Vos !
I will hop on to check ukgpl6 todays evening.

Very true bernie, no steering hack and your wheel input under braking provides less chance of losing it under braking, hence, gives more stability.

[G Jonsson]

I did a quick "spin" at Bremgarten on the ukgpl_6 just now and it seemed OK

[vosblod]

Please note the 9 Feb re-run will be using the new server;

Server = UKGPL_T7_2
IP Address = 62.149.202.168

Updated the main race post to reflect this.
