F1 1991 - Australian GP [July 8th]

Hey guys. I've been having a strange problem while practicing with my race setup. Looked at the PDF to see if it would explain, but to no avail... If I knock off a wing and need to come in the pits early, the computer drains all the fuel from the car! I leave the pits with a new front wing and no fuel! Imagine how disappointing this would be during the race itself. Anyone else experience this phenomenon?

Check your PLR settings (relative fuel strategy)

AHA! Mine was set at zero!

I made the change to 1, tried again, and that seems to have fixed the problem. Thank you again, Gui.

The fuel mixture thing is making me a little confused... According to my maths, I can do the full distance with mix at 10 and still 18l of fuel left (the car averages 2.5l per lap) but I'm a little afraid that my HUD is giving me the wrong average...... Did anybdy else test the race setup and fuel average

j'ai un petit soucis en mode course : je n'ai pas acces au nombre de ravitaillements (bloque sur 0) ni bien sur a la quantite (ND)...
voila, j'ignore si cela est normal mais j'imagine mal 81 tours sans passer aux stands (meme si je suis tres econome en pneus et fuel ).

Comment ça se fait que ça soit aux jeunes d'apprendre la F1 aux vieux ? Pas de ravitaillements en essence en 1991, juste les pneus.

...
en fait, le doute c'estemparé de mon esprit (alzeimeresque) en voyant qu'avec le plein complet l'ordi etait loin des 81 tours ...
m'enfin je vais quand meme me mettre au coin avec les bras dans le dos pendant 10 minutes !!!
merci Gui

Nearly 2.5l per lap for me too

That means we're ok for mix 10

How much time difference are you guys seeing comparing your qualifying times to your racing trim times with full fuel?

I am not sure if I should count that diference with seconds or minutes...or number of spins

4-5 or so seconds

Absent pour cause de Mans Classic !

I will not qualify on Thursday (wife's birthday! ), but will be there on Saturday.

See ya.

For me, it's more 7-8 seconds.

The thing that worries me the most isn't so much the speed differential or fuel consumption, but surviving the opening laps with wings and four wheels!

I thought the first qualy session was tonight

All this concentration accumulated throughout the day for nothing

I am with you there!! Setup is totally different. Brake points, totally different. The Senna-mobile is a gas hog so I also had to turn down the boost but I may turn it back up as I know I am going to get lapped many times and only need 1 gallon (so far).

I was at 8 now 6 to 7. I guess it is a matter of working on the race setup.

Wings are replaceable...wheels and the bits that hold them on, not so much. My pit crew is well versed on replacing the front wing already.

I never ever had a problem to lost concentration

Woo hooo HOOO baby, thanks for the setup Karel.



And Guillaume gets the Duke's of Hazzard award for driving on two wheels after a jumping a curve. It was impressive and not for the faint of heart.

I wrote "do not do that during the race" next to the description in my notebook.

Puis-je assister à la qualif en observateur ?

Oui no soucis
