Thanks Simone, I appreciate the hug, and one to you too!  Yes I, like you, have recently changed "priorities" and "stopped to smell the roses".

I am catching up with people that in the past were very important to me,  who slipped due to less important "things"... but we are on the right path, enjoy all of it.

Hey guys,

Can I hop into the remaining races for this series? I'll probably opt for the Ferrari, not fussed about the skin.
Is ABS allowed? If not, I better start practicing. 
Also what level grip are the tracks set to?

Hey mate no ABS in these cars league runs factory assists only, track grip will be variable and seems to start between 94-96 and will end up at 100% before the end of a race. Not sure what qualy has been finishing on but going by laptimes its not quite getting up to 100% by the end of qualy.

I will add you to the whitelist for the pracy server too though I am fairly sure your MR AB anyway but at least that way it ensures you can always get into it. You can check the practice server that should be set as the race server though grip on that wont start quite as low. Practice server is set to start at 98% +-1 so 97-99% but as there are less cars running in that if it started too low it would never get up to the higher levels.

If you havent tried both cars you may want to give them a run in the prac server before making a choice, if you have ptracker I have a lotus setup up in that too you can try. I only ran a few laps in the Ferrari and that setup is a bit nasty still so not really good enough to share even if it can get a reasonable laptime.

Regarding the ABS using a g27 I have my brake gamma set at 1.00 so fully linear, also make sure that at some point after joining a server to fully depress the brake pedal. It seems AC needs to calibrate the pedals each time you start the game, so if you dont depress the pedal fully it wont use its entire range. You dont have to do it straight away but it only uses the range of your max press on the pedal so a good habbit is as you load into a server press all pedals fully to get full range out of them.

This caught me out in one of the rounds this season and I couldnt understand why I was locking up everywhere early, then I remembered and did 1 big slam on the pedal and it was back to normal. These cars especially I dont think I would fully press the brake pedal at any time on track always a little bit light on it so if you dont recalibrate the pedal as you join it will be very grabby on the brakes til you do.

The wheel doesnt have the same issue it keeps the calibration as set in launcher but this only effects pedals. Also you only need to do that each time you load a track. It will stay fine as sessions change, so possibly that could be where your having issues without ABS.

I sent you a PM. Marty mentioned the track grip and ABS levels. See you on Tuesday! Qually starts at 8:30pm Eastern, with practice before.

[Rolz]

Hmm interesting concept Marty...

I have had the issue where I wasn't calibrated right on accelerator.
But this breaking in game calibration is new.

Have you asked this question in the AC forums?

It's not really an issue with ABS enabled cars, but in this season it would make a massive difference.

I think it's a Windows issue, not AC. If you run some other pedal program like DxTweak2, you can see the brake pedal do the same behaviour (not go smoothly to the max input) until you depress the pedal fully.
