Hampus Andersson · Feb 22, 2013

So... to kill some time i decided to make a Top 30 board for all RD members.
To get your time official you need to make a post and post a screenshot/video of the time.

Car - Lotus Elise SC
Track - Magione

edit: nevermind, people will never learn.

I´m stuck there too for now. 23.7 as Opt which is horrendous.

Need some sleep i think, usually get some tenths due to that

I just went a little bit under 1.27.00... you can see the difference between proper simracers and sunday driver -_-

Lap isn't great but here are my thoughts.
Stability control seems to help i use 15% value.
If you can use clutch and H shifter. When upshifting don't lift throttle use only clutch and shifter. No need to press clutch to the end, about 50% of travel seems enough to engage next gear. When downshifting bliping throttle allows to change gear without need to use clutch.
After going to track lap times seem to be faster (i'm not 100% sure about that) so don't drive long stints.

How do you not hit the rev limiter when you keep the throttle planted like that?
I tried it but i hit the limiter everytime and can´t notice any real difference to be honest.

You need to shift later (like half way of the red part from the gear app) or lift

Truly beautiful lap, congrats

I'm stuck there too, lol... Will try some more now that I got some sleep.

PRO, H-Shifter, 900deg, etc...

EDIT: 1:22.747, no video though as I've got no idea how to make these...

If you do that in a real car you burn the clutch within 2 minutes of racing. I hope that clutch/gear damage will be implemented in the v1.0 to avoid this "cheat".

Ryan Vickery · Feb 23, 2013

I wish there was telemetry, I'm having issues with laptimes because sometimes I'm pulling off 1:23s out of nowhere with seemingly average laps and then stuck in the 1:24 even with the good laps, meanwhile I'm watching videos of other guys who are doing 1:22 with laps that don't look any better than my own.

I also have this strange thing that I run faster laptimes If I exit to the main menu and then reload the track (not just restart session). I can't break the 1:22 but watching other guys videos I also can't see where I'm losing time, if anything I should be faster in the last sector than some of the 1:22 guys.

Mind boggled, one thing I do notice that could be an issue is I can't seem to get those gear changes so fast (using clutch + paddles), but that can't explain 1 second. I'l make a video tomorrow, perhaps it will be better to compare.

darkdeus · Feb 23, 2013

I came close but could not even break 1:25 today : ( I don't think I'll be in the top 30 for very long with times like those. FFB and physics feel fantastic though!

Michael Hornbuckle · Feb 23, 2013

I'm getting into the mid 1:24s don't know where I could ever find another couple seconds...are you fast guys changing the tire pressures? And if so, what will give it more front grip?

Maybe times should be taken with a pinch of salt now that you can edit the physics too and still get legit laptimes.

WTF!?!?!?! did you put an F1 engine into the elise ?!

loool

however I am in the constant 1.25s now (pro and not modded)

Struggling now........damn ghost car its faster everywhere

...actually now i think of it trying to best my ghost car is a bit like the vid below.

kikie · Feb 23, 2013

My best time: 1.41.610 (after 3 laps)

Little explanations: I'm using a logitech Attack 3 joystick. Not to best way to play a race game.

I'm using a 8500GT graphics card. Settings on 800x600 and EVERTHING set to minimum or OFF and getting 12 fps. Which isn't really playable.

Michael Hornbuckle · Feb 23, 2013

I'm down to a 1:24.052 so close to a 1:23 I can taste it but just can't get it yet.

I can't even imagine what to do to get to the times you guys are running; my hats off to ya'll.

Just saw on the iracing forums Ben Cornett ran a 1:21.9xx damn aliens! lol

Hampus Andersson · Feb 23, 2013

I´ve seen times in 1.21 now. Crazy.

And i also read that anything below 100fps will give you quite a lot of input lag, like 30 fps you are looking at 100ms!

Going to try one screen later and hopefully there´s another second hiding there.
