Explains why the next race was 3 seconds off the pace of the previous one. Very confusing when trying different setups! I'll make sure the randomness is set to 0.

One could assume they don't want us to race on the same track conditions each race. Do we want static track conditions or does this add to the realism? Would this require different car setups each time?Off-topic: What is the Karma score on this forum? « Last Edit: July 21, 2014, 08:48:18 AM by Phil » Logged Bird Administrator Hero Member Posts: 2324 Karma: -666 Ysu Re: Why lap times got slower « Reply #2 on: July 21, 2014, 08:57:05 AM » I'd vouch for randomness Karma is your niceness/evilness rating. you can applaud/smite ppl for posts, and that's how it builds. Mine is -666 the prefect evil score, and you shall not touch it!

It makes setup changes too hard to assess.

It makes setup changes too hard to assess.Yup, you would be constantly adjusting tire pressures. I do like his thinking though and would like to see how much it does effect the grip levels, at least knowing that could have elevated past frustration of not knowing why some days PB's were easy and other days at least a second off.

Actually, they might have only exposed the server settings in the last update. Maybe there always was a bit of randomness. Makes hotels records a bit difficult though... It couldn't have been random.

So I wasn't going mad...

It couldn't have been random.Quite possible, as most did struggle to get near their PB's on the server and sometimes people were doing better times so who knows Logged Bacchulum RestrictedRacing Hero Member Posts: 3403 Karma: 96 Re: Why lap times got slower « Reply #13 on: July 22, 2014, 04:17:42 PM » Quote from: Wally on July 21, 2014, 10:52:23 AMUntil (if) we get a proper racing line, I'd rather leave the grip non random.

And: what does racing line has to do with random conditions? (sorry but I really don't get it - for me it's two separate things)I don't believe you'll "need" to adjust setups, but you certainly need to adjust your driving...and that's a welcome thing in my books.
