My tyres go off around lap 15-20... but you need to go easy on them to last a tank of full (35 laps)... im trying to lay off the brakes as much as possible. This doing lap times around 2:11 - 2:12 for 35 laps

I second That FROM lap 1 to 16 I'm Almost When I'm very consistant under 2:11 (2:10:100 to 2:11:000) and after that I have to be very carefull not to go off if I push too hard, and times are ranging from (2:11:400 to 2:12:000)

But that's the funny part of driving, when It came to skills and increased attention and control of the car when tires go off.

And those cars are Awesome to drive in these conditions

My butt held up fine you might need to rethink your seat/seating position

I am getting old, if I do anything for 2 hours then something always hurts lol.

how do you disable the ambient sounds at Bathurst?

If you mean that God awful air-wrench noise, it is an rFactor bug that was never fixed. The file Gamedata\Sounds\Ambient\fans_normal_1.wav is not the sound of a crowd at all, it is that air-wrench sound.

When driving the V8 Factor cars you don't notice it because the car mod uses it's own ambient sound. If you drive other cars (and I believe you drive the FVRs muzarati?) on a track that uses that ambient sound file then you hear the air-wrench.

Alot of tracks besides Bathurst use that file, so it is not a Bathurst issue. Anyways, long ago I just copied the V8 Factor version of that file to the root folder. I have it zipped up so I could give it to friends, so just extract this to your rF folder and no more looping air-wrench.

thanks buddy.. yeah the work you guys do is great.. although it takes time which is understandable, its always good quality work

that is goood news to hear. always good hearing that most of the hard stuff is pretty well done.
that is not as good news .. only be the fact it means more time to add to the release of it .. but hey, when its done, its done.

i am interested as to if any new sounds have been implemented for the newer modelled cars..
i did read previously that you guys are having new sounds for the new models.. is this an issue at present still ?? or have you guys been able to manage to get some sounds for these now.

and thanks again. good to be here

mitch

What would you like to see in the next ORSM release??


V8factor 2010!

Actually... What would you like to see in the next ORSM release??


Me :wink:

I have been itchin' to post that in this thread since January... it felt premature then lol

 

[Warwick Browne]

Lets just get the VE out first

 

[Warwick Browne]

We have raced 161 laps of bathurst in the v8factor mod for the last 3 years and never had any brake problems. I wonder if there is anything "reset" after a driver swap?

I can't to 20 laps in the truck mod with out the brakes failing

 

[muzarati]

Yes there is that looping air-wrench sound as well as the announcer, I'm not sure but I don't think it would be that audible in the race car, at least I've never noticed it watching the on-boards? (V8 Factor by the way)

Do you often suffer issues with being premature???? lol

 

[Scorpio015]

I'm still trying to piece together a hrt sound for the hrt cars its very very hard work

 

[Arsenal]

Dude! I held it since January! I thought that was pretty good...

Ok, sorry for being OT....

 

[mitchell186]

i can imagine it being hard work ..
i myself have no idea people like yourself obtain and make sounds for them.
it would be curious to see the sounds when ORSM release the mod

 

[still_bacon]

Your right.. Thats some serious stayin power!!!!

 

[Scorpio015]

anyway... hows the progress on the yet to be released mod going?

 

[still_bacon]

Thanks for the continued support guys.

I can tell you I have tested some new physics for the tyres and car geometry over the last few weeks.

Before you start with the "oh no, I need to build a new set up again!!", I can confirm the physics actually reacted better and became more balanced with the setup I posted before for 1.3 than I experienced with 1.3. Krunch and I agreed this will be great for you guys. It should mean any V1.3 setup you have should drop in, and should allow for some minimal tweaking to get an even better result.

The skinners are on the vinegar stroke with their work, but will not be able to finish until the modellers have done their bit too.

I haven't spoken to Kev or Mo in a few weeks, so I can't give you an update on the cockpit models, but they have been working on them in their spare time (outside their real lives).

Someone asked about what would be in there. At this stage, the models they are building replicate the start of 2010. The VEII is not in the build so far.

Also, All future releases will only be the Car models. Any tracks or track updates will be released separately.

Sorry if you are salivating, and going hungry still, but that's all I can give at this stage.

i know ive asked this is the other thread and have yet to here a response ..
sorry for asking again, but with the new physics, well sounds, can we a more realistic sounds for the new models?
if so has this been done ? or is it in the progress of being done ?

 

[Jay Boving]

Personally I think the tyres need to drop off more. We just had our annual Bathurst enduro. The fastest race time was a 2:06.9 and that was mid stint. I have no problem getting the tyres to last 34 laps with average times in the low 9's. The tyres do drop off as the stint goes on with early laps in the 7's then gradually dropping to mid 9's by the end of the stint. There's a lot of tyre smoke running these lap times and I feel the driver should be punished more from over abuse of the rubber.

New sounds is something we're definately keen on looking into for the new mod, how ever nothing in the sound department has been started at this point.

 

[Warwick Browne]

Punnished for over driving yes, but no more drop off. You don't want it to be faster, for a race like bathurst, to have shorter stints and more stops. You should be able to get a consistant feel and level of grip for the entire stint (currently 120L). With the current slight drop off.
