Yea the new transmission sounds that they checked in for some of the cars are insane.

FLX did you get to play MP today, I have the same bug as you said you did in chat.
Except my game crashes in the lobby, .5 - 2 FPS then once I click on something game crash.

 

[RACECAR]

You guys mind posting videos of the new transmission sounds?

New tire model is up and it is a step in the right direction.

DrummingKing, your news is old

It wasn't when I posted it.

 

[drvac]

it's pretty much the same sound, changes are minor

Oh well, Gran Turismo will have to do then.

 

[Timppaq]

We will try to get the STM functioning on current gen consoles.

Glad to hear the intent is there 👍

OMG that's awesome, hopefully they can get it to work

Is it on all cars?

You have to use "-seta" in your commandline of the shortcut to activate it.

The seta model only puts the front Formula A tyres on all four rims of all cars at the moment.

Sorry to sound stupid, but I have no clue on how to do that... Any pointers?

Make a copy of your shortcut to pcars on your desktop and rename as you wish so it is clear to you at it is with the seta command.

Then right click on the shortcut, then properties.

Click on the tab "Shortcut". In the tab you will see a field called "Target" which has the following location in it.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\WMD\pCARS\pCarsLauncher.exe"

Now behind the quotes put "-seta" like so...

"C:\Program Files (x86)\WMD\pCARS\pCarsLauncher.exe" -seta

Click the new seta shortcut and enjoy.

That was with Seta enabled?
What are your own impressions, Adrian. Looks to me like the pCARS FA doesn't understeer like mad like the F1 2012 one does. I wonder if you share the same impression?

Thank you sir! Really helpful, gonna check it out now!

Though I'm not Adrian I have had a go with the STM. The FA most definitely does not understeer like it does in F1 2012. At the moment it likes to oversteer a bit more than it should because right now it's running 4 front tires, but even then slides are so much more intuitive now. I'm so happy the transient grip issue is gone, and this is all from a very early first pass of the STM. Great things are in store.

Ah, I should have phrased that a bit differently. I also played both and I totally agree with you.


@Adrian: Could you please make another vid with the Williams F1 in iRacing and the FA with Seta in pCARS?

 

[RACECAR]

Can someone explain understeer to me? I feel stupid for not kniwing it by now, but its something I'm never sure I know about.

 

[DG_Silva]

It's too early to test the STM in pCARS, it would be better when they have developed the model to have 2 front and 2 rear tyres.

Understeer is where the front of the car wants to push out wide, usually caused by having less grip than the rear tyres. Oversteer is the opposite. Understeer causes the driver to reduce speed in order to stay on the track.

 

[LogiForce]

Actually the cars in F1 2012 understeer because the front tyres go over their maximum grip threshold. Going over that threshold means, no more grip. No more grip on the front tyres means that you loose the ability to steer the car. Hence you continue to drive straight ahead without turning in (or at least you don't turn in enough).

 

[DG_Silva]

Which is what I'm saying. The front tyres suffer from a decrease in grip compared to the rears, causing understeer. When the front tyres exceed the limit of the grip envelope, this causes the tyres to skip across the surface of the track, finding it harder to retain or even gain back the original levels of grip.

If you want to try this in your own car, try jamming your front brakes on (disable the ABS first), and then turn the steering wheel. You will notice that the car will want to continue travelling in the original direction, or will turn but with a greatly reduced amount of direction change. Another way is to try driving too fast on a wet road.

Sorry, I thought you meant the rear lost grip. Didn't read properly I guess.

Oh, and I already tried once. Actually my accidental attempt was even scarrier. I was driving fast through the city late at night and down shifted from 3rd to 2nd too soon just before a T-section where I had to go right. But I was going in between 100-120km/h at that point. What happened was that the safety mechanism in the clutch kicked in and the clutch didn't engage due to the engine revolving too fast for the gearbox. So the only thing I had to slow down were my brakes (solid discs in the front, drums in the back) which don't have ABS.

It was scary. lol

Why doesn't this sim have it's own sub-forum here at GTP?

Because it's still pre-alpha. I imagine it will get it's own sub-forum closer to retail.

Hi all.

I leave a trailer I've done, I hope you enjoy.
