PRACTICE server is up with this combo.

What sort of lap times should we be aiming for? RSR doesn't have anything to go by. 1:10 is where I'm at but I've never seen this course up until today.
-
I keep blowin' my donk up, so I don't know. :-\
-
I hope to run a couple of laps tonight. I'll let you know what I get to. I haven't really driven this track or car much before though so I guess there is always room for improvement.
-
I'm doing high 1:08s. You can check out the friend's leader board.
-
I will jump on tonight havent driven the car much or track.
-
this is a dumb question, but are you saving the track as something else other than "Newbury_v1.06" :o
Edit - nevermind noob alert... worked it out ::)
-
Ran some laps with Guybrush and we were in the mid 1:07's with a bit of time left in that but he got me by a bit at the end. One thing with these cars is the turbo boost levels using the 1 through to 0 keys with 0 being 100% boost.
I was running with mechanical damage turned on and was blowing a motor within 3 laps regular driving then went back to default pro settings which has mechanical damage off and can run any boost level with no issues.
So I think we should make a group decision if mech damage is on or off but probably as pro mode default is off then we should keep it off to be fair to all as its a big disadvantage for those running it on and many wouldnt even realize and just keep at at default pro settings, I dont know what the default boost setting is but at 40% I was about 3 seconds a lap slower then 100%.
Here is my setup not that lots can be done with this car.

Good info Marty. Let's run pro mode, damage off. I didn't know about the boost levels.
-
We ran another session trying the boost levels each lap, at 10% (key1) its like driving a fiat abarth and doesnt really have enough grunt to slide the rear til about 60% completly different car at 10%, 50% and 100% levels.
Could actually be another way of handicapping if it could be forced by the server max boost level per car, though darren may hate running low boost all season.
-
I'm really enjoying this track it grows on you the more you drive it. So for I'm down to low 1:08's with room for improvement.
-
Just noticed the laptimes are actually also being charted on RSR website, first mod track I have seen actually show up on the website not just in the app.
http://www.radiators-champ.com/RSRLiveTiming/index.php?page=rank&track=292&car=71
Im pretty sure 1:06's are doable in this combo with guybrush getting very close to it and my best lap being quite scrappy.
-
I reckon when I can use my left foot to brake again I might be able to get into the 1.06's, but otherwise it's good to see that there should be some close racing.
Good to see XGN owning the top of the table at RSR :) When was the last time you had to update the RSR app Marty? If it seems fairly stable I might start running it again.
-
I haven't had to upgrade the RSR app for some time now.

Thanks. Just re-installed it. My name is coming up with a "world" icon, instead of the great Aussie flag. I've checked my Steam profile, and it has the Aussie flag and it is all set to public. Any ideas how to fix this?
I've also put my setup for this track+car in my dropbox. Good for a 1.06.6xx so far.
-
I think there has onoy been about 1 RSR update in the last 3 months or so, well worth giving it a go. One issue I found is you need to have penalties on in SP sometimes even if the server has penalties enabled.
1:06.6 is pretty darn quick will run some laps tomorrow should be abke to get into the 1:06's too. To show the aussie flag I think you just need to set it up properly as it seems you have now then run a lap and it shouod auto update your info on the rsr page. The name and country settings in Assetto Corsa not inside steam and you can even have your account as private it will still come up with the aussie flag.
-
Thanks Marty. It must be in Assetto Corsa I need to check.
-
BTW I hit over 300km/h a couple of times on this track. Was in mid-air at the time however!? Seems that if you flip over you end up in a hole of some sort and have to hit escape to stop. Anyone else have this happen?
-
What is the advantage of having different levels of turbo boost on the 1M? Why would you want less than 100%
I had a bit of a mess around for about 3 corners. It just seemed to make me slower at lower boost.
On a side note I think Newbury is a boring track. There I said it. I feel better now. ;)
-
I think in the longer run when damage is implemented, there might be consequences of running at full boost.
-
Yes if you want to see the point of them turn on mechanical damage and see how long you last with 100%. It wouod be pretty interesting if there was a way to force all to have it on as it could be used for strategy during a race kind of a push to pass button. As this cant be forced server side atm it would be too big an advantage for anyone with damage off.

Yeah, kinda looking forward to damage, at the same time not. I remember having mechanical damaged switched on for a while and blew up many, many engines.
There was no 1/2 blown or drop a few cylinders. Its all or nothing. I guess it can;t be modeled any other way?
Would be funny, maybe, If we had 24 starters and 0 finishers.
-
I saw a post by Aris a while back talking about planned damage modeling. If they get half of what he hopes it will be pretty awesome. Atm its pretty basic and I have been running it on until this event as not having boost at 100% is too bug a disadvantage and damave on I was blowing the engine withing a few laps no matter how I drove.
I will turn it back on once we are done with this car, in the grp A i was running damage and engine limit at 103% with no issues over any distance. But this car high boost and early shifts blew just as quick as pushing the engine close to the rev limit each shift.
-
So who'll be on tonight?
I'm actually looking forward to the racing as this car seems so loose when you plan the throttle...
There is going to be a whole bunch of sliding sideways for the newbies of the bunch (me included) ;D
-
Well, I'll be there. It's a fun little car.
-
I don't think I'll make it tonight, virus got the better of me. :(
-
I'll be there. Should be fun, close racing.

Only if you dont get the lead into t1, should be close for the rest of us. :)

Some videos (using Open Broadcaster Software) from tonight (I have to get some quality tips from Guybrush).
Here's race 2, where I got an accidental punt in the second corner and then had to work through the field.

Race 3 - an early chase of Guybrush, then a good chase by Marty over many laps to pick me off, until we had a little Wally/Marty/Phil/Guybrush train going for a while at the end.

Nice. Did you download some different replay cameras? That replay looks much better than what came with the download.

Actually I just modded the cam file quickly adjusting the fov of all cams. The original was all too zoomed out.

Good one.

Nice vid ;)

1440p! Are you crazy? Intend to broadcast it to the side of a building or something??
Had to try it didn't I.
Good work Marty. Crashed my work computer.
Lost dozens of unsaved spread sheets. Oh well, there goes maintenance schedules for a few WA hospitals.

1440P is the max encode using Shadow Play atm, they must have some quality computers at WA hospitals if they cant play heavily compressed yt clips. I guess they didnt do a proper background check before they hired you or maybe you are a burglar and that was just the office for the day. ;)

I can confirm that most WA health departments are using windows 3.1.
ok honestly though XP pro.
And it's starting to really cause problems getting it to go along with any new technology. and the directors are like huh?? what do you mean it doesn't work??
oh yeah, There was background checks. Have to be dodgy to work for the government.. Not QLD government dodgy though. that's just ridiculous.

Wow Marty, what a great quality video, and a great battle between you both, well done.

Thanks though I sense the battle was a littles artificial, I dont think Guybrush was going at his limit he was consistantly .5 per lap faster then me when he pushed. Maybe he reduced boost or just held back a little to keep it interesting. ;)

Was a top night and some really close racing... cheers ;D
