rFactor 2 General Info & Rules

I've had the tyres down considerably lower than 95% (in the Austin Healey) but have never noticed any vibrations.

 

Do you all run the full hour on the same set of tires and not find it vibrates? Do you notice any drop in grip and lap times toward the end?
The wet grip was tricky to work on because different tracks have different grip levels and the wetness level of the track changes the grip level. The wet track values are 5%, 15%, 40%, 60%, 100% and the grip level doesn't transition progressively between each level. s397 say that 100% is supposed to be red flag wet. I tried to make the cars still driveable but very tricky to drive at that amount of wetness. I would try to setup the weather to avoid 100% though. I have noticed the tires generally don't heat up much, even in the dry. I have a version of the tires that does build up more heat that might be better. They will punish over driving the car though. I need to get to the bottom of this vibration I'm getting first.

I'll have a think about joining you at Bathurst. I reckon there'll be lots of DNFs with all those walls! What and where is the local time of the server for qualifying? I'm assuming it's in the middle of the night for me on the other side of the world.

 

Personally, I may have had some vibrations, but only a few and they seemed natural to me, so I didn't really pay any attention to them!
I wasn't bothered either by the temperature or by tyre wear (I didn't even need to check the hud).

 

Hi Simon,
Great mod thank you.
A problem I found, the car comes to a full stop if you go off road.

This also happened on Woodies live stream video
My ride height was set to max.
Could you have a look at the UndertrayParams in your .hdv file.
UndertrayParams=(262500.0, 11600.0, 2.0) // undertray spring rate, damper rate, and coefficient of friction
I don't know if this is the problem but the numbers are a lot different in comparison to S397 SkipBarber car that has:
UndertrayParams=(295000,5000,0.5) // undertray spring rate, damper rate, and coefficient of friction

I don't know if that is the fix or something else.

Thanks David. I have a feeling this might actually be a track issue. I don't think the Undertray is used for collision purposes. Plus if the undertray was too low, I think we'd be seeing a lot of sparks from the Porsche. I'll check the collision mesh to make sure it's not too low but this is the first I've seen this issue.
Regards
Simon

 

V1.06 went out yesterday with updated mirrors. There’s unlikely to be further updates for a while.

 

Porche tyres were ok if try to keep smooth and soften brakes little to avoid locking up. End of the race some vibrations and think thats part of the race.
Wear rate ok but grip loss comes pretty fast and think it might be due to the fact that you have to drive that car little more agressive on braking and cornering.
Anyhow overall feeling was that it was fun to drive and kept finding more pace race after race.
All the drivers having vibrations: isit cause of the mod or drivers own inputs during the race? Did you check if had locking on brakes getting flatspots via motec for example?'Another things are ofc forcefeedback settings and even the car setup itself. My point beeing that cant just shout for tyres because if initially feedback is not correct it takes mod to wrong direction.

 

I would like to thank the organizers and everyone who took part in this championship. Kudos to the modder who made these cars.
It was quite a pleasant experience. See you in the future.

 

Hey guys.
Firstly I want to congratulate SRO and everyone that participated in the GT Revival championship. The series was run very well and the level of driving and also respect for each other was outstanding. Getting to watch a mod I brought to life in RF2 has just been awesome and made even better by the great broadcast by Rob. I've never been into watching e-sports so I never expected I'd ever be yelling and cheering at the TV when Westy overtook Kirilov at Forest Elbow. That Bathurst battle between the mighty Mustang and the nimble little Porsche was epic and everything I'd hoped for when I did the physics for those cars.
Thank you to everyone that has provided feedback on the mod and helped me get it to where it is. Also, thank you for your patience and understanding for the Linas Montlhery disaster. I think most of you understand what I was trying to achieve but there are some things that shouldn't be simulated too close to real life. At this stage v1.06 is the final version of GT Revival unless there are any issues that pop up. I have been tinkering with what I'm calling the "Goodwood Edition" which has different tyres with less grip and wear correctly and less BoP. This is proving rather difficult to create. I thought if I created physics with correct weights and engine hp I'd be creating a historically correct car but a 1200kg 400hp Bizzarinni in RF2 is nothing like the real thing so I still have to use false physics to create a realistic experience. Most of the cars are done though and I think they're a lot of fun to drive but unfortunately, with less tyre grip comes less steering feedback which seems to be what most people love about the mod. I'll keep working on it though and see what I end up with and then make a decision whether or not to release it. If I do, the current version will be retained as a "League Edition"
Anyway, thanks again and good luck for the next championship.

 

I don't know if there would be enough 'enthusiasts' to appreciate a more difficult, authentic version, but it would be interesting to try it out, at least once! (or more).
