jowen7448 Posted June 16, 2016 Author Share Posted June 16, 2016 I do think a wheel makes a big difference for feathering throttle and steering inputs and for rolling off the brake on turn in to keep traction. There is no way I could hit those times with a control. If you were closer I would happily lend you my wheel over the weekend or something so you could have a bash. I will happily see if I can retrieve the data logger for laps if you like ( although I thought you had to specifically save it at the time) I will investigate tomorrow if I get chance. Which would you like? Just Roma? I reckon there is still a few tenths in Roma although expect it would take me a large number of attempts to get it all hooked up together. That time took me a fair while to get and was hardly something I could consistently put together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I'd be interested to see what a 1:05.x looks like at Roma, my best would be 1.06.0 if I nail all 3 sectors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jowen7448 Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 I had a quick check this morning and couldn't find a way to get a data trace from the laps that have been done already. If I find time this weekend I will happily have another go at Roma and save a data trace if I get close to my best time again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Did you try changing the weight distribution? I found a second in the final sector at the expense of the first long left/right turn, but I don't think the perfect balance would be worth much more than what I left on the table Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jowen7448 Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 I haven't played with adding ballast or movable weight at all yet. I shifted brake balance forward slightly for all of them I think and gradually reduced the amount of traction control. Think for Roma I had brake balance as Front 7, Rear 4 with traction control 1 and ABS 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stutopia Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I don't add ballast, it always feels like you're just adding slowness to me, though I see the thinking around redistributing the weight. Brake balance is something I nearly always load up one or two clicks forward. Also if you have the Traction Control above 1, I find it a bit too aggressive for most cars, I sometimes go as high as 3 if the car is a handful on every bend. I find the wheel makes two big differences, steering is much more variable and you can be more judicious with the brakes. This is the setup I have, it's the budget end of the wheel/stand market but I love it. http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Logitech-Driving-Force-GT-steering-wheel-/112025771055?nav=SEARCH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jowen7448 Posted June 18, 2016 Author Share Posted June 18, 2016 I have the same steering wheel but a different mount. Wheel is an absolute bargain for its quality. Shame it seems to be not compatible with ps4s last time I checked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I've got a broken DFGT and nowhere to mount it! The pins are broke from trying to force it onto a cumbersome table, and I'd have to go buy a TV since I'm playing on a massssive projector screen. I guess that helps slightly, can see the corners real big Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stutopia Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Put a couple of hours into Monaco last night, had a real breakthrough around the Swimming Pool and Rascass. 1:39.731 - SuperStu There's still a couple of tents out there though Grrrr.

Stutopia Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Trial Mountain wouldn't give me anything last night, quick 10 minutes today and it gives me a 1:27.701 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stutopia Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I'm probably more excited about this than I should be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
