*IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ*

Historic racing is famous for the gentleman racer era and that is the kind of atmosphere that I'd like to foster in the club. Please take time to read these web pages and try to get an understanding of what racing in this club is/should be all about.

Thanks

OK we have 2 very early sign ups. Well done guys and thank you.

These cars have plenty of grip, so we should all have a good chance to finish races and it should be lot of fun. Thanks to @Yves Larose for suggesting the combo.

I'm gonna have a quick try to put the server up so that we can all try it out on the server. That way, any issues should be found with a enough time left to search for a fix.

Come on people, let's see if we can get numbers up to the mid teens for this one.

SERVER IS UP!

Hi Denis

Great to have you back Peter and good to hear that you got your wheel working nicely.

Oki doki im in Denis

And you Dean, it's always great when you are able to join us.

Look forward to seeing you guys on track.

 

[Redvaliant]

Does anyone know what the 5 different Race engine map settings refer to? There's some Low-Standard-Race1-Race5 mappings. I guess 5 is full boost?

 

[Denis Betty]

As far as I could tell, 5 is full boost but it makes for a narrow power band - just as you might think intuitively. Therefore, with the tallest gearing (I think you need this at Rouen) I was quicker on the standard engine map setting - Race 1 I think?

 

[Redvaliant]

The powerband is hilarious. There's nothing, nothing, some more nothing and then a mad rush for about 1000rpm. It's right at the top of the rev range and takes an age to get there in 5th. I was yelling encouragement at it, with some swearing thrown in, it was so slow. Tricky car to drive on boost.

 

[Luca Ciarfella]

Hurrah! Gonna let us know what was causing the problem?

I dont know why, but some settings of steam was reset. In particular the motion reprojection for VR, that is the only way for me to have a smooth drive

 

[Denis Betty]

Ah ha!
The old uptate causing settings to change malarkey.
It's always nice when a software publisher messes with your settings without as much as a "by your leave"..... NOT!
Oh well, glad you got it sorted and hope it wasn't toooo time consuming/frustrating.
