Off-topic a little, does anyone know of any app that shows the brake bias while in car? I see I can map the bias front and back on my wheel but I'm not sure if it's working.
If you're not sure, then it's not working.  I've found that in some cars, too. I reckon it maybe car dependent - simulated if the real car has it or not.

Hmm
you guys all have these 4K monitors I keep hearing about yeah?
i'm in the stone age with my 1920x1080 and 1400x1050
I'm pretty sure no-one here has a 4k monitor But when you put 3 full-hd monitors side-by-side you get a virtual screen of a few mega-pixels (i.e. I run 3x 1920x1200 = 5760x1200)

Updating my PC is very much on the agenda. My Motherboard is getting on 4-5 years old but can still squeeze a couple of months out of my old quad core with a little overclock.
I'm wondering about SLI though and 3 monitors.
also i'm a 110% NVIDIA fan boi, I'm not interested in AMD at all, even if they where/are cheaper & faster. don't even mention them lol
I think a few of you are having drama with SLI atm? Is it just in AC or is it a bad driver from NVIDIA?
Can I run 3 screens with just the one card? My card is getting old now GTX660Ti. So if i did go SLI I'd be up for two cards I think.
I think the big question is.. Any regrets about going SLI?
SLI is defintely a 2-card only solution (mind you the dual-core cards count as two!) Edit: ok this was the sentence of the century...I mean triple monitor gaming. Derp. There are teething problems, but I'm sure they'll all be ironed out. Having 3 monitors is great for peripheral vision. But Oculus Rift (if you can tolerate it without puking) might give you that, and more - I've used 3d glasses before and their immersion is fantastic. I could do without the head tracking, though.

Definitely no waving. The old rule was that one change of direction is allowed going towards a corner. (i.e. you can chose to take the inside line if you were on the outside, and that's it) Just between us, if someone is quick enough to get alongside of you without you making a mistake - and without bump drafting! - then they're better let through. For both of the parties.

I'm not sure if I'd touch the springs - it'll make the whole car behave differently. And I don't mean just the general understeer, I mean you need to potentially re-adjust ride height, dampers, brakes...I'd rather just change the rollbar, it won't mess with the suspension. (softer=more grip is the base rule, still) Altho, you learn a lot by trying and doing, really One very important rule of setup; unless you know very well what you're doing (even then) they recommend changing one, and only one thing at a time. However small that may look to be, if you just change tyre pressures, then do it, and then go out and have a few laps, see how things work. Change multiple things and you'll never know what worked and what hasn't. It takes a lot of time to create good setups, yes, you've guessed right

I was reading the in-game help for the diff earlier, wanting more oversteer under power, and I think it said a higher power lock aids oversteer.
(...sorry I've edited your post by accident again.) As far as I know the exact opposite is true...easy to test. Be careful, you can (and will) get snap-oversteer if overdone. I think it's very nice to test it in the tatuus. But here's some in-depth info http://www.intothered.dk/simracing/differential.htmlAs I recall the 0 is the open diff, and 100% is the "live rear axle" (fully locked) situation. If that's true, then less=oversteer more=understeer.

The power diff lock locks the diff earlier if you put it higher. If you do that, it'll have less oversteer under power, but when it goes, it goes completely (both wheels will break tracion) The coast diff will lock under braking, again, earlier if it's higher. The effect is, again, more understeer, but this time on corner-in. There is sometimes a third one, an overall lock, but other than that these are exclusive, they should not have effects crossing over into the other's domain - unless the code is buggy, I guess

Well, it might have been easier, but I don't think so. Although my session best wasn't even in the 04's. Braking gets me every second corner  I need to settle back into braking-with-throttle if I want to make it around more than a lap or two without accidents. If I just purely brake into a corner, I'm usually covering the full width of the track with the car, it jumps around so much.

yeah the biggest issue here is that you MUST nail those crucial corners, T1, then the other to the back straight, then of course the last one, too.
Btw I haven't driven a lap since last week...it's about time to pick it up (if you check my hotlap it was done 2 months ago!)
Yeah, when the game was much easier. Get practicing, teamie!
It was easier? Really?? Farkenell.

I'm not going to. It's early access. I'm not paying premium to be a beta tester. If it's good, it'll be available when it's ready. Probably cheaper, too
