if your trying the braking tests (100m stopping tests etc) try ABS on 0 as you will only be braking in a straight line so shouldnt lock up and this will increase stopping power.
thanks dude, thats one of the ones im struggling on golding. i was trying to swerve out so I could use a sharp turn to help braking, wasnt working too well though
If any one wants to learn how to tune suspension to give no difference in lap times, i'm your guy. LOL. I had a quick go moving anti-roll full max and mins and also full opposites front and rear to no difference in lap times. Are you sure tuning suspension make you faster or is it a placebo effect?
not sure about making you faster as such, guys like leeboy, beau, koastr and stone will be better at answering this
Its all about hitting the sweet spot with tuning suspension and by going max everything then min everything, it wont do anything cos it changes everything so much that it has either too much of an effect (slowing you down from the potential) or not enough effect (also slowing you down from your potential) thus it would seem that it wasnt doing anything. To get a good tune, do one thing at a time and work on getting that right, then work on the rest little by little. The little changes are the things that help rather than changing something dramatically.
Realistically the difference between a good suspension set up and a not so good one should really only be about 0.5s per lap for small to medium size circuits. A bad set up might be more. You have to consider that you are not just tuning your suspension to improve your lap times but tuning to more easily maintain your hot lap pace i.e. make the handling more stable/predictable so hot laps are more repeatable, and mitigate undersirable/heavy/uneven tyre wear.
Carn is correct, ABS = 0 is pretty much essential for achieving gold on the dry the braking tests. But also try ABS = 10 and high brake power for the heavier cars on 1000m tests, or in wet conditions. PDark007, there's a separate thread on tuning brake settings here; http://gtleagueoz.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=116 Swerving will not help, as you are creating instability, which reduces tyre grip, and reduces your effective braking strength. Not to mention that you are loosing time in taking a longer path to the finish. You want to keep the car as stable as possible under heavy braking.
Braking in a straight line gets massively better results than braking whilst turning. Even with racing soft tyres, your fighting the cars momentum if you brake and turn... try brake as straight as possible for hard braking areas (end of long straight for example) and you will have much better results...all about placing the car in the right spot too
I have a question.... Is there a rule of thumb to go by when tuning your suspension (ride height dampers etc) in correlation to the amount of downforce you place on your race car...... what I mean is along the lines of say..... when I put higher downforce on the rear of the car should i raise the car slightly to improve acceleration etc????? anyone got some pointers, all feedback appreciated......
