Formula Truck 2013

Is the engine started? The behavior you describe is what I get waiting for the car to start.

Marco Bijl · Mar 17, 2013

It's not in the game with the races. Same as in practice from what I saw yesterday. Perhaps it's a setting we can do in the server side.
Will look into it, but as said, I really like it the way it is now. Expecially with longer tracks, the speed is so cool

Onno Naber · Mar 17, 2013

Thanks anestis will take a look at it tomorrow must be doing something wrong

What I like is that you have to brake for corners and the way back tries to come round if you over do it.
It would come out though when I have next to no time for the next week or so.

Karl Warburton · Mar 17, 2013

I have just done a 16 minute race in Championship mode, finished the race and the game will not let me end session or continue.

Anyone else have this issue??

Also try setting speed sensitivity to zero, guys.

Rhys Gardiner · Mar 17, 2013

Does someone have data for the real life steering ratio/degrees of steering rotation on a Formula Truck vehicle?

ok but the game must be realistic, so in races there must be speed limiter

If I try to play with my wheel settings on 900 degrees the truck hardly steers. I tried all settings in-game (also steering lock) but only when set to 300 degrees max its 1 on 1 with on-screen steering wheel and the truck actually steers.

you have to change it in the controller.ini .from 270 to 900.and set steering lock to 33

No engine is working, but its fine now, re-installed and all is fine, cheers for the reply anyway.

Anyone else finding 2nd gear a waste of time, you don't seem to be able to change the ratio neither.

oppolo · Mar 17, 2013

yes, the truck start in 3rd gear and normally I use the last 3 gears

Thanks, I sent them a message and I hope they can troubleshoot otherwise I've wasted £16.

I pre-ordered, paid but didn´t get my link to download. Is there anything else i can do??

Pleeeeeeese.... I´so anxious to play this simulator!!!

Paul Nadon · Mar 17, 2013

What are the real race rules in FTrucks? Tried to look it up but finding only small amounts of info. Race time(laps), pitting?.....

Rob Lawrie · Mar 17, 2013

No rear view, all you see is the inside of the cab and can't toggle the map overlay.
Great sim btw

Anestis · Mar 17, 2013

You have to edit the yourname.plr file inside userdata->yourname folder.
Find this line :Self In Cockpit Rearview="15" and change 15 to 0
Self In Cockpit Rearview="0"
Agree, the sim is great.Nice job from Reiza once again.

Is this what you are looking for?

Organization

The qualifying session that decides the starting grid is held the Saturday before the race. Each pilot can have a warm-up lap, three timed and more of a slowdown. If he gives up his back, is entitled to a single attempt at the end of training.
Formula Truck in the number of turns of a step varies between 30 and 35, depending on the length of the track and the conditions of the racetrack, the step of Ceará, which was included in 2006, because the runway is short, the event was planned with 60 laps. The laps completed with Pace Truck are not counted as valid. In relargadas starts and there is a pairing of the trucks stopped and overtaking is allowed only after the checkered flag, or when the green light is lit.

Pace Truck of 2006 championship.

Pace Truck championship 2006.Ao complete the 12th lap valid, the pilots will receive a checkered flag in green and yellow, which scores the first five places. At this point, the trail enters the Pace Truck, which neutralizes the race for cleaning and removal of vehicles on the track, staying three to five turns. After relargada, trucks complete the preset number and make the podium in accordance with the classification in the race, plus the times of the penalties, if applicable.
Despite telling trucks with enough power to pass the 200 km / h, in Formula Truck is a speed limit of 160 km / h, to ensure better security. The inspection takes place with the help of "radar" installed at some points around the track.

So, there is no speed limitER, but a speed LIMIT. Slight difference, as it's the responsibility of the drivers as it seems
