Maybe I can help someone with this.

 

[Marcel Campenaar]

Hey Shannon , take a look here: http://www.race2play.com/forum/list_posts/20693 . Wonderfull little app for helping you with your setups.

 

[Chas McInnes]

Here is my race set up for Monza. 20 minute race.

 

[Chas McInnes]

Yeh,i would agree with Marcel,it's a handy tool to use.

For some reason, I can't get the R2P app to run on my Win7/64 system...keep getting an error.

 

[Marcel Campenaar]

Had errors to Steve just after install. Only dont remember what I did too fix it. Tried to run it in "windows xp mode" ?

 

[Shannon Blond]

thanks Marcel for that.. I used the early excel version of this ages ago forgot all about it...

I think I've overindulged myself with information on how to set up a car and read telemetry that my head is still spinning... Can't quite nail it down. It's one area I'm absolutely hopeless at..
Got a couple of must read books I'm told can help a lot to understand better... I've got a long road to go....

*EDIT*
hmmmmmm... I don't get it.... Tried using the R2P tool for the V8's. ( for about 3 hours )
It had me set my front camber angle down to -0.5 degrees before it said the camber was OK.
I thought the V8's used around -6.0 degrees of camber on the front. It sure as hell drives better with this much camber....

anyway I did what it said cause it's there to help but then, it tells me to take off a full degree of camber and add two to caster....WTF...
It was already driving like a one legged Norwegian prostitute on a push bike and now they were asking me to cut off the other leg....why??

Is this "tool" more a subjective thing or is it no good for anything other than Open wheelers??
I am totally lost......
I'll be banging my head on my desk until I'm unconscious or help arrives......

Anyone got a race/quali setup for Turkey?

 

[Jack Wall]

Shannon,

Typically, I've driven a circuit [100s of laps] until I've reached a base line in consistancy [know the circuit] and think I know the best racing line on all the corners using the Default setup provided.

Then I've gone into the setups and made small changes and returned to track for another 5 laps to test.
So in and out of the garage for the whole evening .... weekend even ... but I've learned some stuff I think [at least for me] and it's horses for courses I suppose.

I also use forum posted setups for comparision and when I find a good one [ as in an improvement on what I have] I incorporate it and I work to fine tune that.

I use motec to compare laps [speed carried through the corner etc] and focus mostly on my weak points ... eg. Zandvoort turns 10 & 11 in a DTM 2010 car.

Patience, testing, practice, good luck and success!

Was able to perform a 1.58.753 with supersoft tires but i don't play online, so many of you guys may be able to do much better

 

[Mitchell Woodward]

ok i have decided to post my own setups on here
vehcile is a holden but it does work very very good on the fords

 

[Adam Eggbeer]

The Holden and the Ford have the same physics which is why it works well on both :wink:

 

[Uros Loncar]

A very nice setup, very different to mine (which is still in making). Was able to do a 1.58.5 after a couple of laps with it. The car feels very comfortable. Thank you.

 

[Jason Lancett]

rfactor central mate.. think they have a couple for kyalami

 

[Jens Piskorsch]

Worked well until I forget to shift up while editing pitstop settings, so don't shift up too late

 

[Nick Brooke]

As a newbie to rFactor i have to thank you for this, knocked 3 secs off my time

 

[Ryan Callan]

Thats probably more your practice and the placebo affect, you can't change much at all in the Clios.

 

[Jose Borges]

I think this one is better now, although it consumes far more fuel, a full tank won't run for an hour at an average of 1.59 per lap! best lap is 1.57 in qualifying...
