Photonik Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I completely agree. Point 5 should be the easiest way to go. In the end it's about having fun with this and not politics.If something comes up with a track, where you can obviously cut without penalty, a simple rule for a certain corner can be mentioned I think.Anyway... I can offer a 2:08.100 perfectly clean and a 2:07.5ish as fastest. Still trying to get SVENOS :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUSMBOX Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Does that mean that we can record a replay and enter, or does it still have to be captured in game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goonertez Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 the point being discussed has nothing to do with replays.The problem with the replays is that they can be abused too easily as i showed earlier in this thread.Im not saying that you would do this of course, but once replays are in, then the potential is there.there is nothing to stop you offering up a replay, no one can stop you posting it, but its not as concrete as in game footage.hope that makes sense.

There's no point in going through the motions if it's not going to considered. Honestly, for a "just for fun" event, I think you're thinking too much into how to get around the system. There's no prize at the end of the tunnel, so I doubt someone would go through those measures anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTAnoskills Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 2 wheels on the black stuff at all times. On the white lines isn't on the track.That's off the track in the picture above.If we can do that, then my time is 2.07.4I don't have the video as I went off track.

Goonertez Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 It was always my understanding that white lines are part of the track.Think its been posted as such in a few places on this forum and i 'believe' its a general racing rule irl.

Goonertez Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 So just now i set a 2.07.something....was kinda just going for it ya know, playing the game to its own limitations while trying to keep it fair.As usual, my ghost was updated with the new fastest set time [until TT mode is exited anyhoo] so i decided to record the ghost while following to see how off track it was.I havent spent any time reviewing this, except for when i was doing the chasing lap, but will put up the vid tomorrow regardless so it can be reviewed for any interested.

RTAnoskills Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 It was my understanding that the white lines mark the edge of the track. The racing area is the black stuff between the left and right lines.2 wheels on the black stuff at all times is the only sure way to run a clean lap. That's how it works in forza. Only having 2 wheels on the white line can be abused. What if you have 1cm of ur tyres on the white line.? What about 1mm.? How do you define what's on or off the line. It's funny this is being discussed. As someone says above that I have the fastest clean time if using the line is not allowed. Then we have some people wanting it to be allowed, so they don't have to try again, and so I'm not the fastest. LOL It's the Intel challenge again. I'll just leave this TT challenge to the to the forum people. I'd hate for anyone to suffer the shame of being slower than a console user, or worse than that, slower than me.

Photonik Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 "20.2 Drivers must use the track at all times. For the avoidance of doubt the white lines defining the track edges are considered to be part of the track but the kerbs are not.A driver will be judged to have left the track if no part of the car remains in contact with the track."That's from the F1 rulebook. stating that white lines are part of the track and leaving track applies, when no part is in contact. So as long as a small fraction of one wheel is on the white line, everything's fine. Some series have different interpretations, like white line is not part of the track. And sure this is discussed, as hardly any posted lap so far applied to our 'two tires on track' rule, so WE have to come to an agreement. Real world doesn't matter, this is a game. I have not the precision of a real car so I'm prone to errors, especially in perfect racing line. When driving online I don't care either. I use everything that the game lets me use, as long as I find it useful. As long as everybody has the same chances, it doesn't matter at all.@RTAhonestly, is there a reason you take everything personal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTAnoskills Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 @photonik its difficult not to take it personally when someone says " are we allowing the white lines? If not then it looks like RTA is fastest. " I cant remember who said what, thats not an exact quote, I cant be bothered to look back and find out, maybe you can photonik, Also, I feel that a questionable use of the white line by myself would just be instantly dismissed by most. My fastest lap on Bathurst is 2.07.4, but that may or maynot have had 4 wheels off the track, goin into the s's, But it was hard to tell myself when I watched the replay, I decided it looks off track, but the game didnt give me a cut. If I had posted it there would be lots of posts from oxygen deprived people saying I cut it. I think If this is going to be completely fair, then only do it on tracks with no walls to ride, or corner cuts that you can get away with. Indy GP, SPA, are 2 good tracks. there must be more than 2 tracks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTAnoskills Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 http://youtu.be/b-rakhDGEn0Now if you were to do that in a "forum TT " then you would be off the track. Yet IRL its fine. The 1st 4 cars go off the track. Yet they are allowed to carry on. Did that allow them to carry more speed than the cars that stay on the track?

Photonik Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Yours was the only really clean lap posted so far, so that was nothing more than a pragmatic observation. I said myself, that my lap was not clean, Gaski said it for his aswell so I see no offense or whatever in that.But whatever... have we decided now, how to proceed? It is friday, so my impression was that it ends today. Need to know what to upload. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goonertez Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 well..when i get home from work ill upload a video that might be quite informative.I set a lap that in all honesty i feel is off track in several places.But the next lap [or a lap down the road] i trail the ghost and am suprised to see that its pretty much on track.in any case, As far as next combo goes, im not fussed who chooses, may as well be you doode..choose away and make a new thread.Ifya could put the combo in the title or in the first post that would be brill.as well as any other useful info/hints/limitations and so on....but lets keep it simple [i think you agree]8D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McRoss1966 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 @Photonik yep agree regarding the setups. The only thing that nees tweaking is the gearing & break balance, all the other setup options seem to do very little to the car, ie if diff , front/rear susp are put to max/min my laptimes are quite equal anyway.

(forget the gears for this question please)But my question is : Given that this setup only needs tuning stage 1, Do you think CM would have programmed the cars to feel and respond as best they can, with only stage 1 tuning? I know people have faster times than I do with this setup, Im not disputing that the setup works, It just seems a bit daft, to unlock stage 1 tuning 1st if thats going to give the best setup. Why have stage 2 and 3? Take the diff for example, set on -100 this is fully locked. Meaning both drive wheels spin at the same rate, even if 1 wheel is in the air. Set on +100 means that both wheels can spin at different rates, and will never lock the diff, so effectively your driving a 1 wheel drive car. Have you ever stopped you car with 1 drive wheel on a icy patch, and wondered why the drive wheel on the tarmac isnt pulling your car off the small icy patch? That wheel on the tarmac will do nothing, unless you have a car with a Limited slip diff, which would lock the diff and make the both wheels turn, and the car would just drive off.Rear wheel drive cars with -100 Locked diff, are very skittish.

TUSMBOX Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Yeah, locking the diff in this game doesn't actually lock the diff. Sometimes, it seems like it has little to no effect, like on the 787B or the T1. Sometimes in the T1 I still have to adjust the car from launch.Also, it would make sense for level one tuning options to not have as great an affect than level 2 or 3.

TUSMBOX Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Depends on the car. If a car has a lot of power, and it likes to try and spin out of corners, I lock the diff. Any front or four wheel drive car, I open it completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
