What shall we do about tyre wear?

So what were the results from the tests yesterday? :) The Merc seemed about the same speed, the weight making it slower round the corners but the power made it faster in a straight line so it balanced out, but what about the Alfa and the Cally?Were they closer in the race.
 
Well, it seems like the Merc is now more competitive at TM and the AWD cars are slightly better at SSR5 so I think overall we see an improvement. We will see how the races go before implementing it. There is another 2 set ups I need to test too. I have to bear in mind that team Merc are tuning and practising a lot too so I have to be careful not to compensate for their efforts as that wouldnt be fair.
 
I did my final Tests at TM yesterday and thanks to Spurgy I´m at my lvl of speed where I say I´m good.
1:25mid with some room for improvement due to minor mistakes I always make -_-

A little question:
If the visual Damage is set to "off" does this effect the "BUG" ??
We could try this because I think less "information" has to be sent to the servers and back (if you know what I want to say :D)
 
Good idea Sakery, we should reduce any info transfer possible. I am of the opinion that tyre and fuel wear should be off too but I am not going to force the issue. I have read that the less the connection has to think about the better for the connnection.
 
Will be giving things a go tonight, im sorry to keep going on about it as i know your sick of it Brett:yuck: But please dont tell me everything is hunky dorey:ouch: I have just done 2 15 lap SSR5 tests, my straight line speed varied from 155mph before tunnel brake point and 139mph (car bogged down loss of power didnt even need 6th gear!) this wasnt every lap but enough to make a difference 5/6 of the 15 i would say.:sick:
Out of 30 laps my fastest was mid a 124s 4/5 days ago i was clocking regular 122s???
Understand we are all at risk so you pays ya money ya take ya choice but i feel its all a lottery right now............shame.:indiff:

T Mountain results worse if anything 11 lap test (quit so disgusted) same setup as practice laps 124.5/125s.
Clear speed loss never once required 6th gear down the straight after the tunnel just about peaked in 5th!! Lap times reflect managed a high 128 rest 129s or slower wtf!! This is a mess.

Good luck tonight all!

Hope the bugs are sleeping when your race kicks off
 
Lets give it a shot tonight but I am going to ban mic's so read the race schedule as it will be adhered to. I will be turning visual damage off and I would turn off tyre wear but I am sure mercedes would be up in arms so I wont :lol:

Wordup- Ill leave your room to you bro.
 
cool. I will try keep things the same as your room, so just post any changes on here so I can replicate. ;)
 
So ban mic's tonight in your room Wordup? That way it might help the 'bug'.]

Div 1 guys - I don't know if wordup has told you but we're going to open the room at around 8:45 that way if anything goes wrong like last week, we'll have more time to resolve it. So try and get on a bit earlier. Please post on here if you can't make it till 9:00-9:15 due to work or something.

I am still without a decent set up, my team mates must have forgotten to send it to me :( and there is no point now as I don't have time to practice with it :grumpy:
That combined with me having to race with a controller has meant I am 2 seconds off the fastest lap. Don't think it will go well for me tonight.
 
Good idea:tup: I will be there as early as possible to bug test hope i can stick it out for the race if my earlier problems persist i shall withdraw asap just incase my infection worsens things.:nervous::indiff:
