Discussion on tuning logic and setups.

Need help with setting up a car? Got a killer set up already and would like to share?

Get those wrenches turning!

damper b = 10 10
damper re = 10 10
camber an = 1.0 0.0
toe angle = 0.0 0.0

Race On....

my f1 and most car setup
 
I altered the name a bit to better differentiate it from the replays thread.
 
Umm, the word garage is synonymous with storage. i just thought that since in this case garage refers to tuning it might be better to rename it. hell, no skin off my back. i can rename it. just say the word. but i'm going off the comp very soon.
 
I wonder if that setup will work on the Poly 001?

Hmm ive got some settings for my Ford Escort Rally car I wouldnt mind someone trying to help me with. BTW these are to make it handle on tarmac, not dirt, the car keeps shredding the tyres at a horrendus rate. I would post the settings but I have timesplitters running. Ill post em in a sec.
 
Stop ford hating, this particular ford won the WRC so shove it. Its also kicking the JGTC cars arses.

I have about5 Poly001 I got bored of them after running the F1 series. I think thats about the only time I used an F1.
 
Try beat my 001 time at midfield :)

YES!

all my energy will be focused on this car tomorrow...must own rob...need american dollar bill...doubt i will own rob....he owns me...i am not worthy.
 
I'm the most impatient person you'll ever meet and I suck at making setups, thats why I only use 2 setups.
 
I've learned 2 things.

1 move the df 1 point and the car needs an extra mile to turns

2 the more you move the rear camber to the right the sharper it turns; reverse for the front. though stability might be compromised.

:fdevil: Muahahahahahahahah! :fdevil:

:D

Ok T, below are the settings that "I think" I used for Zero's race series with the 787 @ Monoco. But I'm not making any guarantees.

9.4/11.0
55/55
6/6
6/6
2.5/1.0
-0.5/-1.0
4/5
24/15
5/20/5
4.444
31
1.00/1.25
ASM: 0
TCS: 1

Enjoy.
 
Not working for me, the car is sluggish at slow speeds, heavy steering needed.
 
That is a set up for heavy steering. The responsiveness of those settings is nill. :confused:

Hmmmm, the brake setting that I used is so that the cars tail end wont get loose in hard braking. You can raise the rear brake balance if you want.

Raise the shocks bound and rebound to:
bound: 8/8
rebound: 10/10

Springs take up a few notches.

But these changes will make the car more responsive.
 
Can anyone help me with learning how to tune a little more? Im good when it comes to the autoset and rideheight but the rest is just T&E. Can anyone give me some tips?
 
Welcome to the team FPT!


We can most certainly help you out. That's what were all here for. Were a team right?

So is there something specific that you would like to know about tuning?
 
Quote me on nothing.

Low damping is good for uneven surfaces but may be spongy, which i assume hurts out of corner traction and such. High damping can be more responsive but can be so stiff as to cause jolting on landing.

No one understands toe, it's never consistant. Ok, it might be but I don't know it well enough.

More rear camber and less front seems to help cars turn in tighter, however, more front camber seems to aid stability. I assume less rear camber reduces rear stability.

Low ride heights: good for downforce, speed. High ride heights: good for looseness, but hurts cornering due to lift and reduced speed. Low/high, f/r: oversteer. High/low, f/r: understeer.

Low stab. settings: more body role but a looser turn in.
High stab. settings: less body roll but a tighter turn in. Advantages and disadvantages depend on corner. High/low: understeer. Low/high: oversteer.

Gearing seems largely theoretical. I think many people opt to have 1st and second as short gears and the remaning gears spread out. Generally you want the gears to not go significantly out of the effective power range for the speed. At lower speeds of around 75 to 100 or below, you'd want the after shift rpm to fall near the torque peak, as torque is more important at this stage. For high speeds you want the tach to stay in the high hp range, but to not go back so little that you redline early.

I'll let others comment now.
