Besides, using a keyboard only...  ;)

You really should get a wheel.  It will make the game so much more fun and your times would tumble down.  You can find a G27 for around $250 these days.  They even had them on Catch of the Day for $200 a little while back.

Alas Guybrush, I actually do have a G27. And was using it...


Clearly mine is broken.  ;)

Whoops.  I couldn't remember your times but was thinking it must be a feat just to complete a race with the KB!  Anyway, my sarcasm-o-detector is back on now ;)

Assetto Corsa / Re: G25/27 GTEYE spring mod

I can vouch for the GTEye.  Best bang-for-buck mod around and very much makes braking a lot less of a lottery than with a standard linear spring pedal.

If a client doesn't download some of the skins will it cause a corruption issue for them?

Yep, we will have to be very gentle at the first chicane. Don't want to see half the field taken out on the first corner in true Monza style.

Let's make the race last longer than T1!!!

Some practical advice to anyone back in the field at the starts - brake early but less!  If you get me.

If it's a full grid it's going to be chaos for the whole race I think! But I think it will be a lot of laughs. There is no sheep stations at risk so absolutely no reason to take it too serious these early days.

Fark me I hate that 312T.  I just can't keep it on the road, snappy, too much power...and understeer into the corner.  Plus the stupid wings.  I hate it.

Really? I love it.  You can wrestle it around... just be sure to change gears in a straight line!  Coming out of the second chicane at Monza always gets me.  Actually the curbs at Monza are a real bugger, always seem to be spinning on them compared to other tracks.

Wouldnt mind a setup in the Thurs nite cars especially the old lotus at old Monza my least favourite combo so dont want to have to run too many more laps then I need to.  ;)

Could be way more fun in a race then boring hotlaps

There should be setups for both Thursday night races - "Lotus 49 - Monza 66", and "Ferrari 312T - Monza GP".  Let me know if they aren't there.

I'm a fan of the old Lotus, although I'm not particularly quick with it, but it's fun sliding it around.

I'm stuck at 1:33s and no matter how many changes to the set up that I have tried is a gain for me from the default.
Could some one post a setup? Ta

I managed a low 1.29 with the setup posted in my setups thread.

Few things to consider, if I can help:
* hold it flat through Ascari (second last corner).
* get a good line out of the second Lesmos to maximize your speed on the long stretch to Ascari.
* braking is different to most cars in that you start off easy and can increase pressure the slower you go (to a point).

Otherwise just tip it in! :)

Cheers.

I'm in favour of all aids off.  The main one's are TC, ABS and stability.

I can understand if people want to use clutch and blip due to controller constraints... it also doesn't really provide an advantage unless you are trying to learn it.

So in short, no problem here.

I think teams of 2 is a great idea. Might provide an opportunity to get together and help each other if you don't just have the better drivers all on each other's team.

Was some good racing again, those cars were quite a handfull there.

I may need to upload a video of this race as our battle was quite fun.

How do you save a replay of MP races?  I'd love to see a vid if you have one Marty?

It's funny.  With both these cars I always thought I was quicker in the Ferrari - my PB's are 1.11.2xx in both cars, but then because I got used to driving the McLaren, stepping back into the Ferrari was like learning to drive again!  For some reason I just couldn't get the braking right.  Very, very different cars with almost identical lap times.

Thanks.

Great, I use that and didn't realise it was updated.

Looking forward to them having inside/mid/outside temps instead of having to quit back to the pits.

I didn't notice any issues with the audio?

To the earlier post, I'd also recommend an SSD as your first upgrade.  I've used Samsung 830 and 840 in a couple of computers and they have very fast read times (what you want for gaming) without any issues.  Samsung is also one of the few product suppliers that make the whole thing themselves which gives me a bit more confidence, and they aren't overly expensive like Intel.  Well, not when I last checked anyway.

Thanks for setting this up Wally. Had a great time with you lot and some good racing.
