Strange how some engine notes change so much depending on the view you choose. You'd expect a small change, but some of them sound like a different car. The Honda HSV-010 (best car in the game in my opinion) sounds terrible from bonnet cam, but ok in cockpit view. Lexus LFA is another, you don't get that V10 whine from inside the car.
I agree with the embracing the glitch part. I guess it can test how good drivers are on an odd set of rubbers. Plus it can be a strategy. Like saving fuel and tyres to pit as late as possible to minimise the laps on the glitchy set of tyres. But if the glitch was fixed, we wouldn't have to worry about that!
Only ever time I raced with the glitch in a long race, the tyre wear behaviour seemed pretty random. I guess it would actually take any strategy out of it but also agree that we might as well learn to live with it until project cars comes along. By the looks of it, It might happen way before the glitch is fixed lol
Just an idea you could always restrict the power to say 500hp (I can't remember just how much it has stock) so the car becomes drivable for those in the lower divisions or those who unfortunately are stuck with a controller where throttle control is less precise, while still being a big step up from the BRZ.
LOL....how does it just keep getting worse??? Maybe PD are working on the fact that you can now add a custom wing which can add so much downforce it will slow the car down (so no more need for the power limiter)??? Makes just as much sense as anything else PD are coming out with :-(
drove it for the first time last night on the mediums and boy was it nice. Not as skaty in the front end, but ready to bite if you overstep the mark. Really felt good. Am thinking that with the pit glitch still there (apparently) we will try to get some sort of pit stop thing happening, but only if everyone can make a tire selection when pitting. If some are still getting that glitch, it may be a case as it was in season 1. wear normal, no stopping
As of 9.53 tonight we will have a winner. Then we need to decide tyres and tracks. Each season 1 or 2 mod's tackle this task, and it is only made more difficult by the pit glitch we now (still) have in GT6. After parking my BRZ come season end, I had clocked up over 10000km's in it! A big chunk of that was testing. So, if there are any super keen ROOZ boys that would like to put their hands up to help, we'd love to gather a crack testing group from various divisions to give input into tracks, tyres and lap no.'s. I believe the aim will be to kick off Season 2 straight after Easter, so if you can help out please let us know.
I'll have a bit of extra time over the next 2 weeks as it will be mid semester break so I'll be more than happy to help out. 10,000 km in a single car is crazy I've done 45,000 km since December 6 and the most on a single car is 3,700 (BMW Z4 GT3).
I'm more than happy to help, lord knows I could use some practice after being sidelined for a while. I was all over the shop last night! The pit glitch is definitely still there. I was running laps at Brands Hatch last night in the McLaren. The fast right hander in the series of 3 was 4th gear, tip it in, on the gas and good to go. With a second set of tyres (same compound), did exactly the same and was in the gravel. As for the tyre options whilst pitting, I couldn't recreate the issue again with having no choices on the pop up menu. As Zamps says though, it is probably too risky as it could wreck someones race or even their season.
Now imagine that happening half a lap before the end, when your leading the race and in a position to win the championship by a point if you win the race...too risky.
I will be sweet to put in some test time for season 2 available most nights except Wednesday every week
Track discussion thread here guys, I can head track stuff up guys, with the help of mint and a few others.... http://raceonoz.com/threads/track-list-for-season-2.1011/
I can rep Div5 if you need more people. Pit glitch is definitely still there. Had an enduro race last night at La Sarthe. Second stint was 7 seconds off the usual pace and downforce effects were exasperated as a result as well (rear tyres going off 2x faster).
yeah, we will have to do a bit on it. Is time consuming. With the glitch still there its a case of picking a tire and wear rate that lasts the length of the race for the normal length 45 min races, and just short i reckon in the enduro.. Will add you to the list in the track discussion thread. Thanks
