The issue with the tyres is actually in the garage. The options and primes switch places sometimes so when you select Primes it'll have Options on the floor waiting, but when they are fitted the stripe magically disappears!1-D_FTW said:Maybe you're the one who was always a fraction slower than me. I'd hear people taking for quite a while. Finally load in. And then have the "waiting for other players" for like .5 seconds.:lol
I'm loading nice and fast now. Loving the FF, framerate performace, DX 11 upgrades. No hiccups with replay disabled. No loading crashes. 10/10 for me on this update.
Not even having tire issues. Options have the stripe. Primes are bare.
Happy about that performance boost... hoping my 5830 is up to the task!Stop It said:The issue with the tyres is actually in the garage.

No huge issue though and frankly, while silly, it's not gameplay affecting. Still mighty impressed with the extra FPS though. Using all of my GPU pays dividends it seems. My old GTX 275 isn't outdated just yet.
The pit lane exit is better but still not perfect, in fact during a GP mode race the game released me into Michael Schumacher's path!Lucius86 said:Popping in to say hi again...
Could be some bad news. I was misinformed earlier in the week - I will have a PHONE LINE today, but still no Internet. So no patch and potentially no Silverstone action for me Saturday - it's all up in the air. Not a happy bunny.
So can people confirm better pit lane exiting, sector times now showing etc....?

Anyway, I hope you get sorted ASAP with your internets, this weekend just wouldn't be the same if you weren't there.

Is there a way I can get the patch in a downloadable file, or do you have to do it through GFWL?

Lucius86 said:Anyone know about hacking someone's WEP key? :lol
Also, can someone point some alternate mirrors to the patch, or host it on an FTP? All sites are blocked here at work :-(
EDIT: Whilst I am at it, what real world lap times are you guys pumping in to Silverstone? A few people are criticising my lap and setup, saying it needs more DF and they can get in the 29's with it, but I am SLOWER with a higher DF setup, consistantly putting in 1.32.4xx rather than my 1.31.7xx in the vid.

The best GP time i've done is in the 1.33's using your setup but with the wrings set to 4/2
1-D_FTW said:You're pretty damn good. Are these people you can trust? If not, they could be people just spewing b.s. or not understanding this isn't TT and track conditions vary wildly.
Lucius86 said:I know I am a fast driver, but that doesn't mean I am good at all tracks. It could be people spewing crap or comparing to TT lap times as you say, but they havn't done that for any of the other vids. Oh well...
Oh, and I am now downloading the patch - thanks guys
1-D_FTW said:I suck and don't suck. By gaf league standards, I do. But my TT laps are in the top 10 percent (maybe even top 5 percent). So in the grand scheme, I'm significantly above average at the game. And let me tell you, with your settings, I can't even take the early turns at the speeds you are. Unless I want to drift onto the grass, I have to go a gear lower than your video. There is some major skill being displayed.
I suppose it's possible they are being legit, but if guys like Salacious and Stop it can't beat those times either, I wouldn't worry about it.
Lucius86 said:It's all about turn in points with this track. You MUST turn in early for most corners, or else you will slide off wide with understeer and lose time.
From 2:05 on my lap...
T1, I clip the kerb on the way through - T2 and T3 you can, and should, clip the kerb. T4 and, in particular, T5, clipping the kerb will through you off your line, so get as close to them as possible, whilst not riding them. T6 you should clip the kerb to straighten your line onto Hangar straight.
Hope this helps
1-D_FTW said::lol Yes. Thanks. I also noticed this in your video. Actually figured this was a major issue yesterday and tried emulating it. Resulted in a lot of spin outs and me wondering HTF does he do that?
I think it's a cockpit thing. About the last 5 laps I ran yesterday I switched from modified t-cam to modified cockpit. I've got 2 custom cockpit views. I was using the higher up one. Now that I adjusted to that one, I'm going to switch to the lower one the next couple days. I'm sure I'll have much better luck with the cockpit viewpoint. There's one kerb in particular you just maul and if I even touch I'm doing a 360. But I think it's just not being able to read it properly from my higher perspective.
1:29.268 in GP mode? Ok that's frankly insane.Lucius86 said:It's weird you are spinning it on the kerbs - there is one, T8, where you must not hit the raised part of the kerb or else that will likely piss you up the wall - just make sure that if you are slowing down through T2-T6, if you touch a kerb don't accelerate on it and make sure your steering does not make any sudden changes.
Cut over the kerbs to make your driving line as straight as possible, but don't use them as tarmac.
EDIT: On the YT vid, someone has got back to me...
"not through time trial.... its through the normal grand prix option tat i did it.... nw presently my best is 1:29:268"
Okay, WTF. Over 2 seconds faster. Really, is that possible?
1-D_FTW said:What exactly are "race" conditions?
I looked around trying to find information on cars and setups. And according to the racedepartment forums, all cars have different physical characteristics. I.E.: the downforce of the Red Bull is radically different from the Ferrari. The physical shape of the car makes ballast placement significantly different with each model.
Which begs the question, what exactly is the baseline for the online cars? Are the perfect settings for the McLaren/Mercedes significantly different in single-player vs online. And what about my HTR online.
I really wish Codemasters would publish some type of technical data so people smarter than me could make sense of it.
Lucius86 said:I think the general consensus is that the McLaren is the fastest car in human hands, as it's the fastest on the straights and we can attack corners in a way that negates the extra DF levels the Red Bull has over it. As for which car is used online, I am assuming it is either the RBR or the Macca, as the speed and lap times I get are pretty much identical to that of what I post on YouTube.
This is why I do my laps in GP mode in P3, to simulate a 'real-world' on-line situation with tyres degrading, tracks which are not rubbered in, fuel load, engine temperatures and weather effects. This is why in TT lap times are so much faster - everything is at a perfect level for performance - we never experience that though racing online nor in GP or career.
A dry weather GP race in P3 allows me to set times in dry conditions we would expect online. Add in some fuel, I do my lap which hopefully reflects almost the same performance to what we get on our Saturday's.
When we race online, we set all the cars to be of the same performance, which is of the fastest car - that's why my Lotus can keep up with a Macca online, and makes our races online come down to the drivers, rather than the car.
1-D_FTW said:Essentially I'd like to be able to tweak the settings in practice so when I load those settings in the online races, it's exactly what I'm expecting. You're saying it's either the Maca or the Red Bull. I guess I'll switch to Red Bull then. Right now I've got a garage setting that allows me to run lap after lap in practice without spinning. I doubt that'd happen with online mode. The car would handle slightly different since my tweaks were based on a different model.
I hope you get that sorted, especially for Saturday.Foliorum Viridum said:I've uninstalled/installed 360 pad drivers, Stop It, but it would appear that isn't the issue...
I added a post to that but I'm not optimistic!
1-D_FTW said:I've noticed some corner caching. I'll guess I'll just try making the replay file read-only again.
Speaking of which, what ever happened to the whole replay sharing? It looks no different at all. And it definitely isn't showing any place where you can save or export these things that I can see.
EDIT: So no hiccups with the replay read only.

Good morning Acrid!AcridMeat said:Doesn't look like a post was made here. The event was scheduled by Foli on the steam group for 5pm GMT.
Can anyone from the UK confirm you've had your daylight savings already? Curious because they listed 10am Pacific and I know the US changes their clocks a couple weeks after the UK.
It would also be nice to know how many can make it for Saturday. :lol
