Round 5 - Rex Mays 200 [March 22th]

Quick math...this race should last maybe 70 minutes...finally a race I can finish!!!

I admire your optimism James ^^ On a 21s per lap basis with pitstops it would be around 75 minutes yes, but you are forgetting yellow caution periods . My guess is this one will be around 1h30 long .

Just within the 'patience period' of my daughter....

a reminder...

Petite question à nos admins:

Sur le serveur, les dommages sont réglés sur 30%...

Est-ce-que ce sera réglé comme çà pour la course

Merci

My F-15s front left is a lottery again... It could take 3 pitstops, but not sure if only 2 would make her drivable at the end of the stint...

Im trying to figure out why I can't choose in PITs menu not to change other tyres except that one. Im having that option abled in other mods (ChampCar'73...), but not in this one. Is it becose of regulations, or there is a catch?

This depends on how the setting is set in each mod Raul, so I guess this is not possible in CART Factor

Soit j'ai pas vu l'entrée de la pitlane, soit c'est ce petit truc ridicule qui oblige à ralentir considérablement sur la trajectoire à la sortie du virage 4. Si c'est ça, je relance le pari perdu par Yves l'autre fois : Pas plus de 10 voitures à l'arrivée.

To be clear Raul-you are only unable to change a single tire in pit stops-the front left tire.

Is this the problem?

I wonder if something is amiss in your .plr file....

This is correct.
Im unable to change only one tyre.
Somehow I figured out that is possible to the rest of the grid.
And since my .plr is same for every mod, I think it is ok, since in some other mods it is possible to change only one tyre...

Multiplayer file perhaps?

But Raul-do not assume on your PLR file. I would check any and all relevant lines

Easy to do a "ctrl f" and look for anything related to tires.

Just one mis-key could mess up the PLR file.


Let me check when I get back home

your very kind, thanks James

Check your PLR file for this line:

Smart Pitcrew="1" // Pitcrew does things even if you mistakenly forgot to ask (one example is changing a damaged tire)



My next idea would be to recopy your PLR file over to this mod-or delete current and generate a new one


Nothing in multiplayer about this.

You say you are using the same PLR file in many mods, but is your controller file the same also (in other words how you scroll through the pit menu and access the tire changes)

IIRC this is set in the HDV file of the car, which you can't edit without getting mismatch.

I'd be surprised if there were different settings from one car to another in this mod.

Thanks James.
Im holding now on what Guillaume said, if anyone can confirm me that this kind of action is not able in this mod, we'll spare a lot of time... I dont plan to tweak the game, Im just currios if this option (changing only one tyre) is able to everybody else but me, or somebody pulled my toe during one of events...

not possible for me to do anything different then changing all tires in this mod

Yeah, it's change all 4 tires or none. The reason is because it would take the same time to change 1 tire as it would to change all 4.

As far as I know, only a mod like a NASCAR mod can you change either left or right side tires since in real life they don't change all 4 at the same time.

Our USAC73 mod allows changing one side only

Damn me if I can find 0,0000001 MPH more , I'm doing the track full throttle without lifting and wings at minimum

Gonna be a hard race

Two swift fords at the top of hotlaaps...

then steve in a mercedes reynard....

Maybe it is the crap Penske chassis Alberto....

Yeah the Swift is the best oval chassis, but I just love my Penske is one of the coolest cars ever, sad that it had bad luck with the tyres and engines

De mon point de vue, l'entrée dans la pitlane ne peut se passer correctement que si on se signale dés la ligne droite opposée en se décalant à gauche et en ralentissant un peu dés l'entrée du T3.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

only 0.97 % between swifts ansd penske (625 and 621 KW  and same torque same weight)

Same weight and power doesn't mean same performance, the Penske chassis is a lot worse than the Reynard or the Swift.
