Tracks Spa Francorchamps (2 Seasons, DRS) 1.20

[Patrick Giranthon]

Thanks. Longest for sure...

Hey Patrick, i found a little bug. The car in pitlane is always shadowed, but there is no shadow on track. Can you reproduce that ?

Tested with V10 at 2.00 PM. When i drive at 4.30 PM its ok...

 

[Patrick Giranthon]

Will investigate with Gringo

It would be nice to enjoy the Spa circuit pre 2004 with the old bus stop.

I only now did a couple of laps in the FReiza and i find the tarmac here doesn't interact with the tires in exactly the same way as on default tracks. Namely, the sense of road contact/resistance when turning is not the same as on default tracks. The car is more sensitive to my steering in puts, the steering is faster and lighter and there is not the same amount of progression. It feels as though i'm using a higher steering lock/sensitivity, but i'm not.

Due to this i find the quality of driving experience is not as good as on default tracks imo.
Overall grip is ok, just the grip progression when turning is not the best. The sense of tire ''bite'' and traction is missing compared to default tracks. Notice the same ''issue'' on Eastern Creek as well.

What do you think, Patrick ? Anyone else feels the same about it ?

 

[Patrick Giranthon]

Well, I use the same parameters as reiza tracks, and also the same way to add bumps. So it is a bit odd. In my tests I did not notice that but it was some months ago. Perhaps new tire model from Reiza or something like this?

 

[Jan Mikuž]

Hm, did some more testing now and it doesn't feel that much different, really. Don't know what it was...
Something didn't load up properly or smth. Or just because i don't drive Reiza a lot..
In any case, when it drives like it does today, it's fine.

This track ran well in my league race yesterday. Except with the tire compound limitations it made it so we could not change to medium tires in the Formula V10 when pitting. Just sharing info so you guys know.

CompoundsAllowed=3,1 // A max of 4 compounds can be included in this parameter - first number is the prime

 

[Patrick Giranthon]

Leagues can give a special gdb file to the teamates for special event.
Another solution Is to put 1,2,3 And 4, but No restriction then.

 

[Patrick Giranthon]

With Gringo We are preparing a megapack with all tracks updated, We Will remove The tire restriction.

 

[Dann Murillo]

Yeah, I like to keep your content as-is so new people can join our league.
Perfect, I didn't think the restrictions were really necessary anyway.
Thanks much to you and your team!

Looking into what it means and what might cause it but wanted to pop it up here and see if anyone with the skillz has an idea what it could be?

Cheers.

Also spotted a System event log error a second before the App one:

Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered.

So some sort of display driver related issue. I'll try rolling back to earlier versions and let you know how it goes.

 

[RodneyS]

Tried a few different driver versions and tweaked a number of graphics settings but no success so far. There is no obvious pattern to it. Sometimes it doesn't happen for 15 minutes, sometimes several times in a few minutes. Ran GPU-Z analysis up until the point I get the driver crash and the only anomaly is the GPU load spiking to 100% as the crash happens - otherwise my GPU is cruising and the game is running generally flawlessly

Some info below if it helps anyone with ideas as I'm desperate to get racing on Spa.

@RodneyS

I doubt that the issue is track related (not impossible that's true). Many others have used the track without issue. Recent changes in the update are not likely to be the cause.

That said I would keep looking for problems with your hardware and / or system software. You would not be the first person to have some defective hardware causing weird grief.

If you like you can download an older version from the "Version History" tab above to use as a comparison.


EDIT. One more idea is DDU http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

I have had some issue with Nvidia drivers. I am using win7x64 and removing the old driver with DDU then install the new driver as a fresh install works for me.
