AC Formula Abarth @ Zandvoort - Saturday 24th October 2015

[Jeremy Talbot]

Put me down as a maybe for now. Waiting to see if the in-laws are coming or not....

 

[Chris]

@kedy89 and @Jimlaad43 were you fellas in for this?

Is this car assymetrical by default or do I have a bug? I'm not given the option to adjust front right ride height - only left front and both rears...

??!?

 

[zAmboni]

I'm going to try. All depends on how I am feeling several hours before race time. Sleep won out this past weekend .

I never had figured out Zandvoort before, but things clicked when driving the FA around. I'm just a maybe, but don't hold a spot for me.

Nah the front suspension values are for the entirety of the front suspension as it's only got a monoshock layout at the front. The rear is adjustable at the left and right because it has twin shocks.

Thanks Chris. It makes perfect sense, but how certain are you about this? When I hover the mouse of the ride height field the little blurb clearly states it's adjusting left front ride height. Also this appears graphically in seating position in car - horizons slants down to the right when I boost what would be front ride height.

 

[Michael Stead]

Looks alright to me. The blurb is wrong but changing the ride height changes the ride height at the front evenly. You sure it's not the track that is not flat?

 

[elloLeo Kinnunen]

Yeah now loading into the practice server fresh it's lifting the front evenly on mine too.

Previously when it only appeared to lift the front left ride height it was also reporting a 0.5 difference between the fronts in the camber calculation in the "car status" window. That was after a few laps though so perhaps I had damage? Is damage repaired in practice server when you click "back to pits"?

Yeah that could potentially be due to the camber and slant of the pitlane. Because AC uses real time physics in the setup menu, if you're on an uneven pitlane, then the values in the car status window will be asymmetrical.

Yep

 

[Jimlaad43]

Yeah why not

Probably not, I don't expect me to be in a condition to race at this time.

Hope you're okay mate, unless of course you mean you'll be massively hungover after getting utterly blind drunk the night before

The latter, graduation ceremony on Friday evening

 

[elloLeo Kinnunen]

Nuts! Have to pull out of this one.

Any recommendations for a mid week race coming up? I'm out next weekend too.

 

[Jeremy Talbot]

In-laws aren't coming so count me in!!

Better PM me your setup Tom looking at the times you have been doing

 

[Chris]

Just quietly, I'm in love with this combo.

Setup = huge downforce!
