No worries Larry. I think me and Mike have stumbled into a fun race to try. I’ll put a room up tomorrow and give it a try.

 

[Pigpin13]

Putting up a room around 9pm gmt if anyone is interested. Start with the current wrs rally and then try some other combos.

Out to dinner at moment, I'll look in when back home.

Sounds like its Karts for TFN by request

21st March @ 19:00 GMT
​

GrX 125 Shifter​

By request from some members (always willing to please), we'll still run this at Willow Springs Mile and Streets and replace Big Willow with Mount Panorama @ night.

Not a lot to say on this combo, it's pure fun. come and go if you wish or stick around for the laughs, which I'm sure there will be plenty of.

A lot of Wild short races may add chicane to a race or a pit drive through to mix up proceedings.

Kart comes Default no setup needed just jump in and drive.

Link to OP is in my Signature if its hard to find.

Doing some laps today with the Racing Kart on Streets of Willow...

I have the Thrustmaster T-GT wheel and I found that adjusting the settings to the following gave me much, much better control over the little rascal...

Controller Steering Sensitivity: -2
Force Feedback Max Torque: 5
Force Feedback Sensitivity: 1

Basically, I increased FB Max Torque by 2 and lowered FB Sensitivity by 6. I might go to Max Torque of 6 or 7 to make it even harder to turn which keeps me very smooth with my steering input.

Did some time in the kart at Mt panaram in the dark with a flashlight stuck on the front for a headlight

Don't even think about turning the wheel. " Use the force Luke"

Gonna be an interesting night

 

[dranddad]

Thanks to Andy for hosting a test room last night, the kart at willow I knew was manageable but panorama is really a test of your smooth skills.

It's as if the kart has built-in glitching



Willow Springs-Streets II

...with a flashlight stuck on the front for a headlight

This is hilarious...I need to check if we have a 'high beam'!

Willow Springs-Streets II

I should have known better that our Grand Poobah Phillip, aka 'Mr. Reverse' would use Streets II...

Off to practice...

Flows better that way around Larry, plus it should work well for you Nas-car gents, big turns are left-handers anti-clockwise rotation.

 

[Bass Addict]

My friend Matt is confirmed for tomorrow...we will have a hour practice session before joining the TFN room. 👍

@oldguy58 Scott, turning on 'Hi-Beam' does nothing for the flashlight...

I have increased the Max Torque to 7 to help with Kart control but the damn thing gets sideways for no apparent reason... this should be great fun tomorrow!

 

[dranddad]

Larry guess which way round the little one is

Night guys, had a bad turn with the Angina today, so lots of rest for me before tomorrow.

Take care of yourself Phillip! 👍👍

Great fun tonight with Andy, Mike & Joe on Horse Thief Mile II...sorry I had to run Scott but I left you in good hands with Joe still hosting the room.

 

[Pigpin13]

I think we are in for a good race. For a more realistic experience, you could have someone throw dirt at you every time someone runs off the track in front of you.

FWIW, with my G29 I found that turning the FFB settings all the way down to 1/1 helped for controlling the kart. Anything higher was (more) prone to uncontrollable oversteer due to oscillation induced by the FFB itself.

Turning down the „controller steering sensitivity“ also seemed to help, but whether or not this has any effect with a steering wheel is a surprisingly controversial topic in the forums...

Haven’t tried the kart in a while though, things might have changed with some of the recent updates. Still, playing with these settings might make a big difference.

 

[dranddad]

As you can see in my video going up the hill, I can get into uncontrollable oscillation without any help

Practice room is open.

 

[Pigpin13]

Here are some pictures from tonight’s madness. Tracks are: Streets of Willow, Bathurst, and Tokyo outer loop. We ran more tracks then that but I did not get the replays saved. I was too busy laughing. Thanks for making it fun.

 

[dranddad]

Great pictures Joe, thanks to all that made this a fun evening.

 

[Bass Addict]

Thanks for the pictures Joe...👍👍

Great Night of racing and fun!

 

[Bass Addict]

Final lap and this battle was going on for a couple of laps...👍👍

 

[Pigpin13]

The kart may be ridiculous to drive, but man that was fun. Lol

 

[oldguy58]

TFN : Totally 🤬 Nuts !

Last night was an absolute blast!!!
Would definitely be in for more of that. This old man hasn't laughed like that in years, even caught grief from the girl friend..." Wish I could make you laugh like that" oops . It's all good!!!

Phillip when do you think you'll kick off the ROC? Asking for a friend

BTW...Could someone please collect this elephant

 

[dranddad]

Glad you asked Scott.

I'm in need of help, my IT skills have reached their limit. I need or need someone to help with the tournament brackets I posted one set as an example but for the life of me after spending 10 hours today I can't get what I'm after.

I know we have someone who can fix this, or even better willing to keep track of that side for us all.

aadays was that you scott
