Test run - F1 1975 at Imola
« on: April 25, 2018, 12:01:22 PM »
Same track, different era cars...

TRACK: Imola with the OSRW PIT MOD (so we can get more of each car on the prac server).

35 lap race (1 hour). No refuelling but change tyres as often as you like.
I'll probably have tyre rate at 1.5x again, as real life races were around about the 1.5 hr mark (will do a little more testing).
"Refuelling during races first took place in Formula One in 15th August 1982". So... no refuelling, and fuel rate at 1x.

CARS DOWNLOAD LINK (914MB)
Unzip (e.g. with 7-zip) and extract to .../content/cars.
or if you've already downloaded the mod, here is an UPDATE PATCH to extract over your existing files.

You can choose any car you like.

Important PLP change
For this race (and the upcoming season), I'll double the number of warnings before you get penalised for disrespecting track limits, due to the length of the races.

You need to edit your ...\steamapps\common\assettocorsa\apps\python\PitLanePenalty\PLP.ini file with a text editor and change:

TOTAL_WARNINGS=6

You'll get penalised on your 7th cut.

It's not very good, bueller.
Fun offline but not league quality.

I just did some tyre testing, and 1.5x seems OK. Hards last a long time, but get squirmy before full race distance, and fuel will be very close. Softs... well, I blew up my gearbox before I could get my tyres worn down enough :( but they were on track for maybe 15-20 laps, at an estimate. The softs are 2 or 3 seconds quicker per lap, by my reckoning. Everyone will probably do 2 stints on soft and pit halfway, although there is scope for pitting outside of that if you want to get out of traffic or attempt an undercut.

Haha.
Most people somehow see the pentagram when they view the unicursal-hexagram. ;)
I think we're all too used to the bicursal-hexagram. 8)

It will be any of them. I'll get the prac server set up as soon as I can.

Also added link to Imola extra pits mod.

Prac server is up, but I haven't tested it yet. Let me know if there's a problem.

Just swapped to the newer version of the mod and am now getting black and white striped tyres whenever I go in the sand.
Thoughts...
UPDATE:  Only seems to be the Lotus.

I think this is my preference out of the two, h-pattern cars just feel more interactive and my personal preference, slightly slower and more forgiving lol. Definitely a great mod.
Wally the tyres engineer changed my default/optimal pressures again, is it meant 29 psi for these cars. Also I noticed some frame freezing each time tapped +/-to adjust optimal on the fly (while the car was still rolling on main straight), could be my system but worth mentioning in case there are minor tweaks you could do to the app.

27 front/28 rear

Nominal slip angle for max' grip is 8.9 front/7.1 rear


Tyres are Bazza's and I don't understand half the parameters in there anyway so not something I like to play with.
you lost me at nominal...thx btw
