DRM mod brake fix

[Terry Rock]

Are we ever getting a brake fix for the cars in the DRM mod?
That team has done incredible thing with model styling, sounds, etc...but the brakes are not close to realistic....on any car in the mod.
I understand cold brakes, I do.
I've assembled and tested lots of steel and carbon-on-carbon brakes for both cars and airplanes.
They stop very well within a few corners on cars and they grip like the 'dickens' on airplanes.
If you take any of the mod cars on track, it takes two...maybe three laps just to get it to stop at maximum braking.
That needs addressing....yesterday.

Have you got the latest version of DRM?
The problem you describe was IIRC present in the first version of DRM then there was an update (which fixed among other things the brakes) and now the brakes start to work much better after just a few corners.

I'm using version 1.2....which is shown as the latest.
The cars...especially the 935DP have very little in terms of stopping in the mod.
Having driven lots of 930s as a young Porsche mechanic, it is one of the things that truly impressed me most about the marque.
I find it hard to believe the 935DP...a full on racer, would have such poor braking capability.
The 930 under heavy braking, felt capable of pitching your rear right out of the windshield.

I had a test to see its braking power. And this isn't a car I've driven much (in the DRM mod). I tried it on Monza as braking into that first coner/chicane is a good way of measuring brake power as most cars are at full speed coming in. The best I could do was around 200m to get down to speed to take the chicane. I'm not very practised with this car though so I could probably improve that braking distance but surely not that much. 200m braking distance for that corner at Monza is indeed not that good.

I'll test with another DRM car too cos I did have the impression that the DRM cars' brakes were mostly very effective once warmed up (I know the Capri and BMW much better thank the Porsches in this mod).

The Porsche: wow, the understeering is quite a battle! Does that seem right to you?

 

[Billy Pilgrim]

Tried the Capri at Monza. The brakes seem to be quite a bit better

Fix understeering: these cars like you to be on the throttle through the corner, I think.

Every rear-engined Porsche I have ever driven, requires you to modulate throttle going into and coming out of cornerd. The brakes have been exceptional though.
