Firstly sorry for disappearing from the last race..would u believe my pc crashed on the last turn of the last lap lol
Had a great night and have changed my opinion of the cars tonight...turned off aids I didn't know I had on and changed a few ff settings...loved the Alfa after I got it into my head these things are soggy road cars.....once I started to feel the grip and roll I kinda started to get it...had some amazing battles with krahl and wally and it reminded me very much of karting with trying to keep up momentum and not scrubbing of speed, had amazing battle with wally one of my best...I was actually jumping up and down in the seat trying to gain speed to pass wally lol...he maintained amazing resolve and held it together under severe paint swopping pressure...if fact I crashed where I missed the apex by a inch because we were so close I couldn't see the kerbs lol...sorry to dave in race one a weird bug he appeared to line up for race as I crossed the line in quali and I drove into him....weird, I tried to get a restart but no one realised I think Thanks for a very fun night I'm not going to delete AC now lol

Bugger, because it was on the practice server, I didn't have that set up to keep the logs, so I have no results.
But yes, the first two races were awesome, with great defensive battles.
In race 1, I was in the Lotus and had Krahl's BMW breathing down my neck the whole race, but I managed to hold him off.
Race 2, I was in the BMW and this time had Wobbly's Alfa on my bumper the whole race. It was only the speed of the BMW in the straights that kept me ahead.
Race 3, I was in the Alfa, but didn't do so well. I was quite loose, oversteering a bit and generally being messy, so slipped down to 4th, with Wobbly's Alfa, Krahl's Lotus and Bafs' BMW all passing me. I kind of found this one the hardest to drive, surprisingly. Maybe 30 psi was too much tyre pressure in the rear.
Three very different cars, but very evenly matched.

Don't suppose u have replays wally... I'm m not even sure how to save them to be honest...I found the 30 psi to be perfect for me but suppose it depends on driving style..also weird that the 2 corners I made up most time were the same ones I loved in real life the old hairpin and the final chicane lol...awesome track never get bored of it and always produces good racing :)
-
Shame I missed the race it looked like a real nasty night in Melbourne but somehow were we played tennis it was fine, other then blowing a gale and freezing that is lol.
To save replays from a MP session the easiest way is to exit the server at the end of the race, you must do it before it goes to next session. Then as you exit it will come up with a results screen and a button that says save replay. This will save the replay, sometimes if you miss this screen you can go into your "Documents\Assetto Corsa\replay" folder and rename the file named cr. That is the last replay file but to view this back you need to exit the launcher and come back.
You can also go to SP sessions and view results there which also should have a save replay option to save the last replay.
Its stuff like this that is rather annoying within AC as it really should be better by now. Still its the core driving that keeps me here alot of the other stuff really needs a bit more work to be at the level of many other sims.

Here are the REPLAYS (https://www.dropbox.com/s/5g44e96qh03aih2/replay.7z?dl=0). You need 7Zip to open them.

Thank you Marty wally :)
-
Sounds like you had a good night, along with a chance to try out the 3 cars in quick succession.
That track is a very good and I am looking forward to an all GTA Alfa season with it included.
-
Yea I think donny always produces great racing, it's such a flowing circuit..in fact prefer the national circuit than the crap bit they added to make it into international length for the gps.

When you referred to 'the old hairpin' which corner is that?
-
After Cramer curves..bottom of the hill.
-
This is what donny looked like from my view..Craner curves was still flat on wets lol
2.6 g through the old hairpin Data logger is MPH not KPH btw.

Thanks. I went and looked up the track map and found the old hairpin is called, wait for it - 'Old Hairpin' ;)
Glad I chose the National layout now. Didn't realise it was the original layout.
-
Lol ahh you didn't realise that's the corners name...that Cramer curves church at thruxton and paddock hill bend at brands among the best turns in Motorsport ...also if you want a really great track that produces tight racing one of the most underrated circuits around is pembrey in Wales...dunno if anyone ever made it for sim racing tho?
-
I like most of the British tracks, with their elevation changes. I've never seen Pembrey though.
-
Totally agree elevation changes really make UK tracks...Caldwell is a good example...altho pembrey is as flat as a pancake....but has one of the best ever left turns 3 left handers taken as one corner...it's a balls out circuit....still hard to beat Philip Island as a track tho..I did my pilgrimage many years ago...maybe this year gonna do Moto GP there :)
-
UK tracks are the best for fun racing, hands down. You need elevation to make a circuit live. Flat ones are for pussies (all of US and lots of Aussies!) :D
-
You should try Sachsenring then.

You should try Sachsenring then.
I think I did, the name rings a bell, but I can't honestly say I remember the layout. Maybe if I run a few laps it'd come back.

It's got a massive hill in it. We raced there in GTL.

I'm such a duck wit...been playing AC thinking why are all the tracks so narrow? Just tried the RSR timing thing where u do a hot lap...and omg the circuit is 3 times as wide...bloody idiot. My FOV was 120% dropped it down...omg how much easier to brake late and hit apexes it is now.....lol. If I had a brain I'd be dangerous..

Ya waaaah? 120? That must have looked like rubbish!
-
Heh, he can't see the problem of a 120 fov, and he does not want to compare controller configs with others....go figure :D

I dunno how it got to 120 assumed it was default lol...never said I was sharpest tool in shed when it comes to pc crap I'm better with spanners lol Certainly easier to drive now, :)
-
I bet !
-
So what setup are you guys running? Graphics..v sync on vert sync on graphics settings? I did notice I was faster on the RSR hot laps even though I can't use clutch or normal gearbox..even just using it doing clutch less changes the cars feel better than using paddles auto clutch...also any guys know how to log your laps..I gave logged in to RSR through steam, but when I enable it in apps always says not connected and doesn't record them.
-
Make sure you have penalties enabled.
-
Yep had that on...just says please enabled when u click on RSR thing.

"did SachsenRING RING a bell!" I love it!

I'm embarrassed to say, I think I need to check that when I get back.
