    Bit short notice. Looks like a bit of a mish-mash of a mod with no turbo lag.... will test it later.

    Yes I agree I didn't get the series created in my normal time frame, so apologies for that, but it does follow on in natural sequence for the Sunday rF2 series we have hosted.

    I detected some slow build-up of acceleration from low revs, but agree the mod doesn't model what is allegedly the more savage on-off behavior of these early turbo cars. Then again what do you expect from a free mod, perfection?

    Hi, noticed your guys doing a 6 race event with the 935/K3. I'm the guy making the mod, and since its still a WIP project, I would really like to hear your feedback on how it goes.

    Do notice you have to limit the rpm going above 8200rpm to not decrease enginelife too fast. I did a Road America AI race to test and engine broke down 3 min before the end. At that point the rpmlife was at 7500 (v.0.72.2) but now changed to 8200rpm. (v. 0.72.4)

    Another thing about turbo lag, I had a hard time introducing this without making unrealistic engine values.
    Fun fact, in real life turbolag is around 3500 rpm but I have set it around 4500 rpm in the mod.

    I promise, if I develop some more, I wont update it until after january 5.
    I'm still not satisfied with tires...

    How long was this test race Thomas? Ours are for 60 mins so it would be useful to know.

    I have a question regarding all the years represented. Do they all perform equally, or will the later-year cars outperform the early-year models? I'm thinking of joining the series, but I want to make sure I pick the right car.
    So far I really like the mod :D.
    These cars are beasts! I assume they don't have any power steering? :rolleyes: with a DD wheel, it's a handful but the feel is good! I'm old enough to have driven some older Porsches (all street) & I remember that strong feel in the wheel .. sort of like my older 70's BMW :)

    After I found your event, I tried to do a test with AI. it was 60 minutes at Road America. It has to be said, I didnt "take care" of rpm's.

    If you runs into trouble after your first event, I have some options I can introduce, but I also want to keep the car fairly realistic, and that was trying to keep it below 7500 rpm.
    The options could be add adjustable rpm limit within the setup, or prolong engine lifetime.

    @Rob Milliken
    All cars are the same just liveries from different years.
    No powersteering & I like to have my direct wheel at 9.5 nm (cant remember the output could be lower) and using manual stick gearshift ofcourse.

    If you find some setup values which are wayoff unrealistic and completely changes the drivingfeel to unrealistic behavior, I'm also interested in hearing about it.
    I know it will "ruin" your competitive advances, so will not change or disclosure it while your event is ongoing unless you all agrees on it of course.
