Key differences to the Mazda.
200kg lighter, with springs and dampers adjusted to mimic the default setup, and with more fine grained setup options for tuning.
Slightly longer wheelbase.
Slightly narrower track with CoG lowered to match roll moment.
Taller and thinner tyres, neither of which changes their performance or behaviour.
Six speed close ratio box with a shorter final gear, which with a slightly better CoD means 200km/hr is doable. (downhill with a tailwind)

On a side note, Gee Dub, phoot phasar Thai dai mai. Or how many of us use our wife's, former in my case, accounts for FaecesBook?

Thanks Seanus ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Good combo Seanus, was fun last night, sorry to Roo for ruining his first race. Still haven't quite figured out how to get it to turn in properly yet.

No need to even mention it Scott, bringing a new simracer to the group has earned you a lot of brownie points :) :) :)
and Yes it was a great night of racing, thanks again Seanus ;D ;D ;D

The trick is, get used to a 1.5 tonne Fairlane, then she turns on a dime. ;D 8)

Latest version uploaded, same link.
Roos's skin.
Onboard brake bias.
Rudimentary LODs.
-
Big improvement Seanus , now turns in easily :) :)
-
See OP, re: season layout, what do you think?
-
Season halves could be shortened for other events or indeed abandoned if future cars turn out to be a dogs.
-
I think the format would be good, giving a longer season to great cars without it becoming tedious :).
-
Suits me, cos I'll be off on holidays after 1st round, so at least I'll get the 2nd half in.
-
Need a link for the track Seanus. CM "install missing content" not working :'(.
-
:-[ Um yeah, that link was never going to work as it points to sharemods which has redirects infront of the download.
New link in CM and the second post, see above. :-*
-
:)
-
Are we going to have a crack at the track scheduled for last week?

Thats the plan I think Scott ;D.

Timaru this week, see CM or OP+1 for link.
-
What's the next track?
-
See OP and +1
-
Season break after this until Gdub gets back.
-
Cheers Seanus
-
Next track please Seanus? :)
-
I thought as we had to abort the Falkenberg round we might revisit it.
-
8) thanks.
-
Bump, see OP.
-
Love this track Seanus ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Hi Guys,
I finally got my new wheel and am ready to dip my toe into sim racing again, can i join you on Thursday?
I haven't raced for about 14 years, so i might need some tips in regards to how everything works these days... I might need some assistance with discord and other new things since i last raced..
I have just downloaded the car and track and had a quick drive, what a great combo... I was cutting 1:05 and high 1:04 laps, can you guys le me know if i'm in the ball park to race?
Is there a list of things i need to check before racing?
Looking forward to seeing you on Thursday.

Awesome! Don't worry so much about your times yet, just join in along for the fun and concentrate on not coming off the track!
Make sure you have the pit lane penalty app running, and a car radar like helicorsa is always a good idea to check where others are on the track. Discord is pretty straight forward, connect a mic/headset, join the discord group (link in the post below), setup a push to talk button on your wheel, and hit the speaker icon to join the chat.
Have a read through this post which explains most the stuff I just mentioned.

See you Thursday.

Thanks Scotty :) :) :)

Thanks Guys,
Do i need to provide my steam ID for Thursday fun league or is that only for Tuesday's league? I have the pit lane app installed, but in the link provided there was a cut track app, does this also need to be installed?
I haven't driven Assetto Corsa before, i have a quick question about setup, driving this car i can't get any heat into the tyres of the Dowsetts, is this just how it is?
-
You'll not need Pit Lane Penalty PLP app for Thursday nor do we need your Steam ID. Later if you need a specific skin we can use that.
IMHO 'Car Radar (https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/car-radar.15743/)' pisses all over Helicorsa like a jellyfish sting fetish.***
Tyres are as is, not affecting grip a lot in this car, and in general AC prioritizes pressure over temperature.
Grab 'Race Essentials' and/or 'SideKick (https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/sidekick.11007/)', these will display all the realtime telemetry you will need in car.
We don't really have rules on Thursday but I guess our preference is to:
Hold your line, even under Blue flags. You can always 'be' out of the way if slow but no need to 'get' out of the way.
Try not to block, you will under the red mist but so will we all.
Don't redress an accident, even if your fault, we know you didn't do it on purpose, so if possible call out an apology during or after, but we all realize none of us are perfect and it is just better to continue racing than assigning blame.
In short do as you would be done, keeping the spirit of having great competition via Fun rather than the real world's cluster fuck of ad-hoc and sanctimonious rules.
*** I have Car Radar plum in the centre of my screen, it only shows up when cars are nearby, it's transparent, and it's the only place you can look with enough reaction time to use it for what it is designed for. If I had me druthers I'd have it move with my steering angle so it always appeared where I am looking.
Did I forget anything?
And welcome to Thursday's Flattop Fun Races.

Thanks Seanus,
I was heavily involved her back in 2007 to about 2011 racing with Bruce, it is great to see he is still fondly remembered, the group of us all mainly enjoyed the old bangers, so mainly cars from the mid 60's to mid 80's. I should be good when it comes to racing, it's just all the software differences. I downloaded car radar earlier today, i'll check out Race essentials, thanks for the recommendation.
It's a brand new rig i have, so the first time racing Assetto Corsa, first time driving a force feedback wheelbase, my new wheel has something like 36 buttons, so i can map at least half of them to chat... :)
Do people practice on the race server or just single player, back in the day a few of us would jump on before the race and test setups, then distribute them if others needed help, is that still a thing.
-
I knew I was missing something.
You'll need pTracker (https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/ptracker.3509/), this is a client app to sTracker that runs on the server. Practice Times (http://52.63.217.129:50041/sessionstat).
And of course, 'Content Manager (https://assettocorsa.club/content-manager.html)' from which you'll be able to install 'Custom Shaders Patch'. Free version's fine but it only costs a dollar anyway.

Good summary Seanus, it might be worth copying that and creating a sticky for a Thursday night readme???

I watched a replay of the 2nd last race last night from Scott'y car, what a race, brilliant :o :o :o 8) 8) 8) :) :) great display of driving by all.
-
I have just downloaded the new track and had a bit of offline practice, what a great track, dare i say, even more fun than Broadford...
Great job whoever is choosing the tracks.
-
Just a reminder for all us QLD’ers. DST finished so practice starts at 1930 not 1830.
Caught me out a few times now……..
-
Even shorter track up for now, please test and let me know if it'll work for us, also can run it in reverse or one of the other layouts.

It worked for me earlier in the week :(

Ok I downloaded it, installed it. Still said missing content. Installed missing content. Still no go. Restarted content manager and it looks like I can join now, so if anyone is having the same issue, might have to restart content manager? Haven't had to do that before.

Hi Guys,
I'm going to have to miss the next couple of weeks, i've had to send my wheel back for exchange, so no driving until the replacement arrives...
