Formula Truck 2013

What sort of shifter do these trucks use? Gated or sequential? I am driving them with a gated shifter, no clutch and h&t. Is that realistic? Do they use the clutch?

Edit: I should have said "no auto clutch"

540 with 18-19 i tried it seemed more domestic to handle but still more then a handfull for newb me.

 

[William Levesque]

Yeah, usually modern race cars go for 540 - 17 to 22 lock...

Just fired it up and tried it out for a few laps: WOW!!! The truck I have tried so far is a drifting beast and a complete blast to drive. Great job so far!!

I think continuos drifting is not a good behaviour also because the tyres becomes hot and loose grip.
I try to enter the turns with a little bit of brake and be carefull at the understeer for not to burns the front exterior tyre, and then control the truck with the gas pedal during the all turn with engine at about 1500-2500 rpm, untill I can press full the gas pedal for the exit.
the back is very light so I tried also to put some weight back.
anyway I agree, it is a blast to drive, even if is still beta I think this will be another masterpiece from REIZA after GSC

i set the races to 8 laps and on the 8th lap when fuel gets low my engine starts to overheat aswell?

Make sure to click in the "I have a Serial Number", from the activation interface, rather than "I have an Activation Code".

Also make sure you are using a Formula Truck Serial Number, not a Game Stock Car serial number. These are different products.

does renaming that file affect the graphics in anyway? Because I have everything maxed out and the AA even though set at 8 I can see jaggies?

no, it's a DLL for having the track map on screen

Transmission problem,

There is no difference between the first gear and the second even though the figure are different in the garage

in the setup menu there are 5 gearsand in the graph too

[Barry DeMerchant]

I really love it, even the crashes are more spectacular.

 

[Sk3ptik0n]

Impressive. Not only looks like the truck behaves just like in RL, but the gears are identical. I use exactly the same gearing in that turn. Makes you feel good to get that close to reality. I couldn't see his foot, but it's a good guess he was clutching it. I'll continue driving it as I have been doing.

 

[Randy Chamberlin]

So far so good. Am having some fun with it.Waiting for the RD server to be locked down with P/W so we can keep wreckers out.

 

[Rhys Gardiner]

Alrghty, thanks guys... 540 it is then!

 

[ledfoot57]

Awesome

It seems that the overheating occurs as a result of over-revving, the torque is at lower rpm's anyway so try shifting earlier.

 

[oppolo]

yep, in the "Esse" he changes gear directly from 6th to 4th, we can also understand, more or less, if our steering lock is correct
