Thursday S5R6 Luccaring Pre Race Chat
« on: June 23, 2015, 06:55:16 PM »
What am I doing starting this topic?  Feel free Bruce to override this at any time.

I'm posting this because it appears the latest Track version available is 0.7a, and I suspect Bruce's download is
0.7 only, minor file size difference. updates are as follows

Version 0.7a

    Fixed several minor textures / UV issues
    Fine tuned trees/buildings shaders
    Fixed a few offset colliders
    Fixed a few trees floating in the air
    Added 4 reverb zones for testing.
    Note: reverb zones might not work. They can be disabled / edited by opening audio_sources.ini file in /assettocorsa/content/tracks/luccaring/data

I'm getting this track early this week after last weeks stuffup.

Interesting point, was thinking exactlly the same thing myself last night. A decision on the version we will be using
should keep us all on the same page. Cheers all Dave O.  :)

Just tested the server with 0.7A and it works ok. Seems it might work with both versions if the surfaces.ini didn't change.

and of course this is the Season 5 finale... so if you want to be in the running for the big prize... BE THERE.

Not sure what is happening with the session times for this track, I put some in online using the non-beta track, "luccaring" but not showing.
Will have an attempt to fix this tonight.

Stracker is now recording data from Luccaring, phew!  :P

I had notice rooshooter had 4 seconds on me prior to the lap recording working, thougth okay, more practice, should be good!
I just had a look at the times, if it wasn't marty, I would have thought something was amiss with the timing... man you must a very high
"virtual courage" limit!!! man that is fast.

we will run on the practice server, just to remove the chance of causing problems relying on migrating the db, and leave the other bigger server there as a back up..

looking forward to tronight!

Did a few practice laps last night, took a little while to get used to the track, then I knew I had a sub 2:40 somewhere so kept running until I hit a low 2:38, yet Marty is still 8 seconds faster....

Its one of my favourite tracks and the other day I ran some laps in the hypercars, which is a fair bit more intense. No room for error but still it was more fun sliding it around then going for a lap.

Here is a video I made of a few laps not hotlapping just thrashing the lafa while trying to keep off the walls with a little drift angle.

Alfa is great fun here too but its so well balanced in a drift, also the tiny car gives more space to the walls so its quite a bit more forgiving and its possible to keep off the walls even with a mistake

In the hypercars I would have written off a few million dollars worth of machines but I think I only touched one wall properly in the gta in a few laps.  ;D

I dont really push the brake points here much just try to set the car up for the corner. Alast thing you want is to lock up but t1 is probably the trickiest entry but most fun exit in these cars.

Luckily I played rubbish first week of the finals so get a nice break between seasons. Havent had more then 4 people on this track yet so I think I will make sure I turn up.  ;D

I do really like a track with solid walls as track limits, means you can use only as much as you dare and there is no advantage for using a little bit more. It kind of reminds me of a couple of kart tracks back in the day with tyre walls youd try to just brush past each lap, more and more drift angle as youd get comforta le with the layout.
