1983 Kyalami 1000 Kilometres (Oct 30th)

Haha, well, I have been willing to rant about excessive qualifying setup work for a while now, it's not like Pascal is alone in doing it. A lot of drivers in every series seem to be spending way too much time on outright qually pace, and then in warmup throw a lot of fuel in it, only to crash within a few laps of the race. And it is the race that matters. Qualifying glory is temporary, race glory is forever!

I technically do it wrong as well...

I spend the whole time up to official practice on a full tank of fuel and then reduce the fuel down to match the race length

Quote :

- Qualifying and Grand Prix engines are banned for the race session

what is a grand prix engine ?
does it means we should use 24 hour engines only ?
and what about qualy session ...

Not all cars have a Grand Prix engine. It was created for the DRM series.

For qualifying you can use a "Qualifying Engine" if you have one (Which you do)

For the race you must either use the 1000km engine or the 24 hour engine.

You can see what engines you have in the upgrades menu.

ok thanks for clarification.
That grand prix engine confused me since i have none of those) and what about this 1000 km engines are they any good for a race like this ?)) they have to ... but since ive never raced this cars for 6 hours in a row im not sure it can make it.

The race is called "Castrol 1000" in other words, it is 1000km.

If you look after the engine it will last Just make sure you lift when you upshift and don't shift down too quickly. Oh and dont hit the rev limiter too much as that will damage then engine.

The 956 engine is one of the most reliable, but it doesn't mean you can mistreat it.

Very strange, that usually clears it. Is it in the main menu or when you go to enter the server that you can't pick the car.

There isn't a filter selected or something in your player file. Perhaps check that and or create a new one.

only when i go on the server, can race lancia offline have checked plr etc etc,its only this mod i have had trouble with

Yeah, I'm not sure. Try the selecting all opponents in an offline race again and actually finish the race. Might unlock it or something.

I want to ask some basic questions.

Do I join the race server on the warm up or slightly before? How will you do drivers briefing (on teamspeak or just chatting from rF itself)?

I see Europe will end DST at 30th October 3 AM local times, I think it's safe to assume the gap between CET and UTC+7 is 6 hours again, right?

So just to elaborate on this patch.

We found out that the Joest Porsche's still had the works engine's in them, and they should have had the privateer engine. So all we have done is give them the correct engine.

Thanks

Hehe,
thats why i have surprised that we have the same power as the factory cars.

Bleh!

We can actually race with different compound for each tires correct? Say FL soft, FR, medium, RL medium, RR, hard?

If the pit menu allows it yes.

Finally installed rF1 again, after spending quite some time with rF2.

Also moved to a new PC in the meantime.

Now I installed rF1 to C:\Program Files(x86) on Win 10. Now I am not sure if that was a good idea

As it has been some time, I also try to work out how to make the steering rotation 1:1 with my own wheel aswell as the FFB effects as my wheel rattles quite a lot.

Does this mod actually possess a guide to set up steering&FFB settings?

With respect, I'm curious why we will start like this

not this


to reduces chance of 1st lap pile up?

Not that i am aware of David, 

I find it is never a good idea to install into "Program files" mine are always just straing into C:\

I know there is several FFB strength's options in the upgrades menu, perhaps try a few of these.

About wheel, maybe you have also to set in the controller.ini, the "steering wheel range" with the same value that you use in your wheel software. Example : I set my g25 in the logitech profiler on the 360º, I put the same value in the controller.ini (userdata/your name folder/controller.ini)
Maybe it can help to get a 1:1 ratio.
