GTP_WRS (GT5) Week 39 : Roman Holiday

[markyboy92]

Haven't touched GT in about 3 weeks, see what i can pull out of the bag this evening... just been hooked to Cod big time.

 

[jack5428]

Submitting with splits on the board.

Good luck everyone. May you at least come close to your PB sectors added together those who are still trying.

 

[GTP_Plato]

T1: 24.181
T2: 22.005
As much of a shocking improvement at the line..

T1: 24.138
T2: 21.966
Submitting this for now.

Did you edit your post in the hope that some of us wouldn't see your improvement

Nice splits Wes:tup:

 

[markyboy92]

Am i being thick or something but is it your own car? because i see people are changing the diff etc. or is it just pick the car from arcade mode and you can change diff and that somewere?

That's the RA functions people are changing, you can map the RA functions to the wheel in the options menu:tup:

Thanks alot

You still using a low SENS setting like me?

Now your just showing off Be on shortly so will have to see what I can do

 

[Vagabond]

Submitted provisionally with current splits. Had a quick half hour on this yesterday but failed to improve on the lap, although I did some pretty decent sectors. Skyrim taking up too much time now.... I would like to have another hour tonight before the deadline but dragging myself away from TES V is hard (been an Elderscrolls fan for many years)...

Plato - re Fanatec wheel and pedals. My settings for the wheel are:

Sensitivity 810
FFB 90 (GT5 in-game FFB setting 4)
Shock 100
Drift 5
ABS 70
Linearity 0
Dead-zone 0
Spring -3
Damper -3

I like a high sensitivity setting for maximum smoothness. More steering angle is required obviously but its a good trade off against stability in the high speed stuff and with the less grippy compunds. I like high FFB but the in game settings don't need to be high with the strength of that Mabuchi FFB motor.

The drift, spring and damper settings allow quick wheel corrections without losing sensitivity and feel. I have never had a problem with wheel wobble but I have heard people mention it with some Fanatec wheels. Maybe I'm just lucky but its super smooth for me with these settings.

I have the load cell on the brake set to maximum pressure, and ABS set to 70 (% of braking force required to activate the brake pedal vibration to simulate ABS kicking in). I presume the CSR pedals are qute similar to the Clubsports in feel - the brake pedal is progressive in response and resistance. I have my load cell set to maximum so I know when I'm really stomping on it.

With ABS vibration at 70, avoiding lock up is easy with anything above comfort tyres and trail braking becomes much more controllable as you can feel the resistance in the pedal decrease as the ABS vibration stops. Don't worry about damaging the pedals, just get stuck in. If the CSRs are anything like the Clubports, they are a serious piece of hardware.

If I could change anything I would maybe have a stronger brake pedal spring but that would reduce the sensitivity during trail braking so I'm pretty happy with the stock setup. Best pedals I've ever used by far.

Tips? Well you could try driving slower - the wheel is much easier to handle if you go slower and you're less likely to crash.

Nice splits everyone, particularly jack who seems to be right on my bumper leading D2. Slow down mate, its dangerous. 👍 (Great T2 Simon lad 👍) You too Wes 👍 - calm down

Anyway, here's hoping for a faster lap this evening if I manage to stop hacking and slashing and setting people on fire.

Yes, I'm using SEN: 450 now.

 

[Gravitron]

Submitted with my DS3 best splits (on the board). Up to you now, Wilco. I'll admit my T3 is about a tenth slower than my fastest.

Great combo, Kevin. 👍

Planning one final assault on this tonight. I'm just about maxed out on each sector though.

 

[markyboy92]

Has one session all ive got time for, not going to bother to submit as im not very competitive, my best was T2 .333 but poor last sector.

Thanks for all the great info Chris:tup:

I may try a higher SENS setting and see how I get on, your ABS setting looks worth a shot also so will give that a go. As for getting stuck in with the brake pedal that's what has been worrying me, I apply a fair bit of pressure and have noticed my brake is not as stiff as it was when I first started using them, is this just down to braking them in and therefore nothing to worry about?

Sorry to be off topic but if one day I decided I wanted the CSP's can you basically send them back and pay the extra for the upgrade?

On my way back on now, I seem to be slipping down the leaderboards so could do with an improvement, not holding my breath though (damn kink)

The drop in resistance is natural, you're just working the pedals in.

You should've gotten the CSP in the first place.
ABS function is great, basically you always have the idea of how much pressure you're applying, makes a huge difference - I don't think I'd use load cell without it.

As for the upgrade - you should ask Thomas who's on GTPlanet.

 

[cicua]

Slower splits but 0.002 better lap. And much less flirting with the walls.

24.245
22.016

Submitting these, although I will probably give it one last try. I have more than the usual 1-2 tenths to hunt.

 

[Anghammarad]

Bugger all this for a lark. I'm not submitting.

I had the worry of not being able to mount them to a WSP, this was my only concern or I would have got them. With the CSRE pedals I haven't even mounted them to the WSP or tied them down or anything and they don't move which is great. It's the design of the CSP's which I just couldn't see fitting easily without modifications.

I know Thomas is on the Sim racing hardware threads as I have been following a while now, so when the times right and if I feel the need for CSP's I will shoot him a PM and see what he says

Thanks:tup:

On topic

Chris your a legend:tup: First half hour and I have already beat my time using some of your settings, increased SEN and used your brake settings and others to come up with this

T1 24.148
T2 21.966

Why couldn't you respond earlier

I can go faster as well messed up the kink slightly and was a tiny bit wide on entry to the sharp left.

Thanks Chris feels great (my SEN is at 360 increasing it by 10 at a time until it starts to not feel as comfortable)👍

 

[Tidgney]

24.095
21.925

Scruffy last sector but still faster...

And i also dont believe the T2 Time I had previously I was on for a 21.7 im sure of it.... I pulled 102 on the first apex... Was sheer luck I must admit can't match it but there we go...

Ill have another stint ASAPish once I've made a brew . I want that 23.9 and 21.8! Or .7 if i could pull of that luck again!

 

[w-g-e]

T1: 24.165
T2: 21.865

Finally figured out T2.
Now to get it all together..

 

[cicua]

It seems Fetchy is taking nap, not responding to my submission.

 

[GTP_Plato]

God I wish Chris would of posted these settings earlier

T1 24.142
T2 21.915

Still time left, keep braking a bit to late for the sharp left but getting there now

Cheers Chris awesome Any chance of a time extension? Feels like I have just been given a new toy to play with

 

[EDK]

Yeah, I had to kick it manually this morning and will again now. I posted the issue in the LB thread for Marjin to review.....

Thanks, I got a response from him now 👍

 

[Usual Suspect]

Great fight this week 👍

Even if i didn´t run this week (cause of my callus ) been checking the splits and expecting a great "finale".

Jack, dominating D2 are we ??

To all

 

[GTP_Plato]

Slower to T2 by a fair margin but found a tenth in T3

T1 24.141
T2 21.965

There's obviously more time as I have had quicker T1 and 2 splits, but the clock is against me

 

[w-g-e]

I've submitted my splits. My T2 turned out to be a one-time only. No idea what my time is good for, good luck to those still trying.👍

 

[Carlos Fandango]

Missed you this week Joao - will you be back for Laguna Seca?

I'm trying to ignore Jack - he's so far ahead it's ridiculous!

 

[Tidgney]

Well I've tried all evening, I've done some epic sectors but still not put together I know theres 4 tenths available out there.... Never the less submitted I enjoyed this one, although the kink used to be my favourite part of the track its not my worst lol .
