After I could sort FFB for my G27, I had lots of fun yesterday evening with GT3 but I have few questions and comments about tires, temperatures and telemetry:
Questions
1) I'd like to know if there is a way or any misc to check tires pressure and telemetry information when I'm in the pit. In actual life I never had a look on tire temp while driving but in pit.
2) I run yesterday online race in Nubur by night. I don't know if it was due to outside temp or my driving; probably both but tires stayed in blue range = cold.
I clearly felt I was driving on ice
So, this part is well done.
I should have chosen "soft tires" (even if they don't exist in real life since most of GT3 championships have single manufacturer who want only sell tires and not make their own business complicated)
=> What is temp using range for diff types of GT3 tires?
Comments
I worked for some years in Motorsport Dept of a well known tires manufacturer and I'm bit skilled in GT tires.
1) Tires pressures don't look to be realistic.
Default cold tires temp shown in game are 2.1 front / 1.8 rear.
In real life cold temp is around 1.3-1.4 front and 1.2-.13 rear. Usually target is 1.9-2.0 hot.
I can't check hot temp in this game (see question above) but I assume they don't raise 2.8-3.0 as It should be if it was following physical rules.
On the other hand I tested rapidly with lower pressure around 1,5b and I could improve my lap times. I also felt car handling was more natural.
I don't know if it was due to better pressure , placebo effect of just game learning.
I must test it again.
2) Tires temp gap don't look to be realistic neither.
With more than 3° camber, I noticed there is almost no gap between outside and inside, whatever the track, conditions or driving style.
Actually, with such camber, we should have at least 10°C .
Temps should also move a lot more depending on the stress.
Here they stay really stable.
I will test with higher camber value.
