Hiya Han, I found a couple on the Setupmarket but to be honest I found the stock setup quicker - I had a quick play with the diff power and coast settings which really helped.... can't remember exactly what I did though reducing the power makes it more 'user friendly'.

Haven't a clue what to do with tyres though, mediums were gone in the 20mins I had, and hards seemed a lot slower Still ridiculous fun though

Two I found on the setupmarket are here:

Thanks very much, John . I will try diff power en coast settings. And yes, the softs were gone in 10 minutes. FWD driving I guess.

can we expect more from BTCC series ?

Sadly atm I would say that is very unlikely. There are currently only 8 drivers signed up for this event, although we still have two days to go. Will be in a much better position to answer your question on Sunday.

Sucks that i'm missing thin, looks like such a fun event! That Primera is great fun to drive.

Hopefully I'll be back for a bit in June/July

one question... did someone have the same thing that when you shift your ffb rumbles? very weird

 

[HF2000]

Yes, I feel the same. The effect is stronger in the lower gears.

Yes, I feel the same. The effect is stronger in the lower gears.

Is it possible to disble it ?

I've turned a few laps in this now. Am I missing something or is the FFB really strange? Just seems to go non-existent or really heavy, nothing in between and not relating to grip levels.

That's something i've struggled with in AC from the get-go. I can't seem to find a way to make it feel good on my G27. I love this combo, but i can't bring myself to reinstall everything only to go through the same ffb numbness as i have before.

 

[Asterix]

Hmmm, rest of AC seems OK, the usual varience of quality etc... This falls outside that.

I've a new wheel as of yesterday and that might be a factor but it's fine elsewhere.

@Asterix James, @Ross McGregor @Dennis Manke @HF2000 Han, there's some info here you might be interested in re this issue (*maybe): https://www.racedepartment.com/threads/1999-nissan-primera-btcc.95172/page

[Ross McGregor]

Thanks, but I have these kinds of issues with all AC cars, not just this one! I’ve just never got a feeling that I was happy with.

Tried the combo this evening - WOW! What a blast... huge fun
Count me in pls!

PS: a 40-minute session is gonna take a lot more fuel than I can squeeze into the tank, which will make for interesting strategy calls. I can't remember how long tyre changes take vs. fuel-only stops, but I should probably do a test or two

Welcome aboard, I know you have not raced for a long time, but have a feeling you will do well. ...If a pitstop is required? pitstop, changes tires at the same time as fueling (unlike FR2) ..tire change takes around 20 seconds ,,you can normally get 50 litres of fuel in within that time.

To the drivers that experience FFB issues ..I have not really experienced any issues yet, maybe I have not turned enough laps yet? ..maybe because she is a FWD car? her behavior will be very different to a RWD car.

I rarely practice before the day of the event, so maybe I will experience the issues you have mentioned. I have much respect for the author of this car and would assume any issues to have been fixed.

In any case, I am sure the event will be a blast and hope you all stay for the fun..next week I am sure will also be an epic fun event, using two great mods

PS. My weekly Health Care visitor is on holiday and his replacement is coming out Saturday morning, hence I am able to host on a Sunday, not sure how long this will last?

I noticed this effect but I have no problem with it. It is barely there in higher gears. It is strongest in leaving the pit. Anyhow, it is a great car to drive. Respect for the author indeed. When I have time I'm going to try it on the Nordschleife. Should be great fun.
