So I've had the time to give this 2024 Abu Dhabi a try. Tested with the new RSS F2 2024. I'm one of these weird people who likes this track - and like Jerez and Valencia RT, I'm keen on getting an up-to-date version with all the bells and whistles of modern-day AC (so not an RFactor-era conversion - while shin does great work, the final product is inherently limited).


This version is... pretty good. There's a lot going for it - it's optimized well, especially at night. It seems real-world accurate, and there's no major graphical issues with the buildings or surrounding geometry. The road mesh feels accurate, and felt good to drive.

First, a few outstanding issues, and then perhaps a subjective one. The sector times are broken - around 20 seconds into the lap, just before the first hairpin, the sector will immediately change to Sector 3, and wipe the Sector 1 time. There are timing issues all over the lap, likely as a result of this - there are frequent times where your position will go haywire. Many tracks have this problem (Fenryr's Imola [though not the RJ version, I believe] and Kniker's Silverstone come to mind immediately) - so it definitely is fixable. Timing has to work on these tracks, so this is definitely worth looking into.


The AI is also deathly slow - at 100% strength, I'm about 2.5 seconds a lap faster in the RSS F2 - and I'm no eSports driver or anything of the like. The main issue seems to be in Sector 3, where they basically crawl through the final two corners. Worth really nailing a lap to get right. They also seem to take a fairly odd wide line through the sweeping left hander that replaced the second end-of-straight chicane - and are likely losing a few tenths there as well. They do seem fairly safe, though - as I only saw one crash through the Sector 1 esses in ~6 runs.

Finally, the subjective part - I do think that the whole track, particularly the Sector 3/Start-Finish area, is too darkly lit. This is a track that's known for blasting your face with white night lighting - I'd say the optimization is good enough where a handful of bright dynamic lights throughout the track would make a big difference. (And maybe the mythical "exclusive" lights, if anyone ever figures out what the hell that means).

Point being, I think this is a good enough base for a quality AC Abu Dhabi - it just needs some extra fixes. Cheers.

Adding to this, there are track limits invalidating my laps anywhere. Would love to use this in my league, but this is too big an issue. Kind of amazes me when something like this is overlooked.

Otherwise this is my go-to version for lapping.

Are the gear ratios correct? I'm very quickly bouncing off the rev limiter in top gear, even on medium-length straights.

We can change the final gear ratio, but even then I’m bouncing off the limiter rather fast. Only changed final gear ratio for now.

Hello. There is a problem. on some tracks, in quick race mode, cars appear not on the starting straight, but on the pit lane. How can I fix this?
Thanks

CSP - General Patch Settings - Physics Experiments -> Disable "Fix missing or misplaced spawn points"
That should fix it.

Surely a guy like you knows how to edit the gears in drivetrain.ini

I do indeed, but wondered whether this car only ever competed on small twisty tracks.

Lots more could be added, but there comes a time when you need to take a break from a track and that time is now.

the DRS zone on the main straight is bugged, it only activates on the 150m sign

I'm not sure how elaborate you might want it, but I was able to throw this together rather quickly. If you want more just let me know.

No, It competed at all tracks on the calendar. It should just about run out of gears at the end of the Nurburgring start finish line.

So it really needs an update then @JK1977 ?

 

[FrustratedUse]

Yeah, I mean it's also using stuff from an E30 and an GT3 Z4 so it needs more than an update lol.

The latest version has 3 different gear sets and 15 clicks for the final gear ratio. Plenty possibilities now, but quite some trial and error when changing tracks.

 

[aspacio]

Which years are you looking for?

Those from TC1 regulations era from 2014 to 2017.

Probably still needs a more appropriate default setup for DTM-centric tracks though. Shouldn't be necessary to faff about with the ratios every single time.

The M3 E30 DTM (kunos) use Suspension from the Z4GT3
