Time Trial Discussion

@crome Don't worry, I'm hurting too.

1:23.714 on controller. Could go lower if I wanted to but this car is a bit of a pain to handle for my likes.

Likewise 😂😂😂

Amazing time amigo that hard work paid off though

Largely unsatisfying session for me, I quickly ran out of wine and crackpot theories which no doubt hindered… a new PB set but two laps out of about a million where I thought I was home and dry and then inexplicably lost it coming out of the final part of the Parabolica… they were my sub 1:23.6 chances and I blew them both… doh! It be like that some days.

One last chance before I go away tomorrow, I shouldn’t really waste any time on this one but… I probably will. I’m infected with the time trial disease sadly!!

I've just about had enough of this ****. Putting a good lap together takes a lot of energy and I can't take it anymore. The Testarossa simply isn't built for this sort of driving.

It was a joy before the update

Morning folks,

While everybody is trying to tame the F3500-A, wich I already gave up on after the safe gold , I had one last go on Brands.... just to see if I could figure out what the heck they did to it and if see if I could benefit from it, just after thr update dropped I already had a go and went from 37.118 to a 37.0 something so there was progression but so hard to actually have good solid laps..

This morning it took me ages to get a descent S1 ...midsection went ok-ish but the real bugger was the sand/gras on the very last turn..... throttle wobble or grabbing sand...

Finally had a more descent lap, but S1 was kind of bad, and again Hawthorn was FAR from ideal...but with a better last sector I finally broke into the 36's and should be enough for an extra top 100 🤪🥳

Maby it was the change to Testa red 🤣

Very much done with this 2 weeks now....

so, your thought on update now after many laps ? Controller? Physics ? you did improved, which many claim is impossible, so what is your opinion today?

 

[Todt]

I've posted this in the Physics thread (don't ask, more than happy to move on from those discussions and that thread!) and also in the dailies thread I posted the same video.

My driving style is quite direct and I force a fraction bit of turning in to get a moment of understeer to get the grip back at a slightly tighter angle and better exit angle. Does any of you aliens have some DD Pro settings I could try to avoid this horrific shaft shake?

(It's bad all the way through but really harsh at .37s, it's only a min long)

This is sector 1 at Nurbs GP in Gr3 (650s)

What wheel do you have, some have an internal vibration system which engages especially when oversteering, I turned it off! In the settings on the steering wheel the SHO is displayed if there is one.

And i advise you to show the INT almost at the max I have 17 to reduce the vibrations.

*Force Feedback Interpolation (INT) (default = 6)
Force Feedback Interpolation “INT” filters and smoothens the incoming rough game FFB signal and increases the refresh rate. For example, some games use a 60Hz FFB signal, which can feel very rough and noisy, but this can be fixed with the Force Feedback Interpolation. By increasing the value, you reduce the rough feeling and increase the smoothness of the signal. You can set the value to OFF, meaning that you will get unfiltered raw force feedback signal. To enable the interpolation, the value must be set from 1 to 20.

I did quite a few laps post update now and I think the biggest difference lies in braking, before you could just more slam the brakes and trailbrake your way in, that seems far more difficult, releasing brake and rotate at the same time doesn't work that effective on the pad but.....it does rotate better when braking harder for a while ( and earlier ) and fully let of the brakes and coast for a moment.
So after this session ( but only did the Testarossa) I'm kind of positive, yes I think it's more difficult but it is more predictable in a way.... plus instead of what a lot claim here, I think it's more stable on exits 😁

But right after the update I took a stock Huracan out on Interlagos and that was a very unpleasant experience.... so much understeer what resulted in rattling duelsense....
No feeling when understeer would occure and if it does.... it's to late..
But that kind if a different experience of what i had with the Testarossa this morning, felt better and got used to it, so maby ill have another go at Interlagos to see if it has changed, maby I was to quick with the verdict.

I wish I'd tried the Testarossa prior to the update, since everyone seems to think it was easier to go faster then, because after an hour or so tonight I've managed a 1:37.774, currently sitting 734 and feeling pretty pleased with myself

Been a while since a do a TT lap, been pretty absent from the game lately, but tried my hand at the Ferrari @ Brands last night.

Quite liked this, got a safe gold on lap 7 and called it a day. Was too tired to try the F3500 @ Monza 😅

Here's the lap in POV (VR) and Replay camera.
