WorstAdjust=(0.9000)
MidAdjust=(1.1300)
BestAdjust=(1.3000)
QualRatio=(1.1200)
RaceRatio=(1.1500)

All those lines are 10% above GTR2 Standard, but they guarantee that you won't have it easy in the race. Lower these values a bit to what think is a good level.
I always do these tests with AI Level ingame on 100%.

The Reason why the AI can do +20 km/h from your topspeed is an AI physics issue. If I got it right from an experienced member at Nogrip, the BodyAero might be too high. It's the BodyFore Parameter that shouldn't be too high because this pushes the car a lot onto the ground and it lowers your topspeed while the AI doesn't care about it. But I haven't tried it yet to be able to say, if it's exactly that value.

Thanks Uli. Didn't know AIW file contains drivinglines and lanespacing.

Just the AIDraftStickiness= line doesn't seem to exist by default, would need to be added for each track but does it need to be under a specific line?

Guest 8/1/2014, 08:16

On my tracks it's always after the RaceRatio Line. Just check a few of them from my tracks, this line is always included.

**gtracer123** 9/1/2014, 05:45

Oh allright, thank you again Wink

**antoniog7772** 29/3/2014, 22:01

thanx mate

Guest 12/5/2014, 18:24

maybe a stupid question but i cant get it done... if I start a free practice or race i wanna use a pitbox in the spa f1 pit and not in the 24h pit how can i do it?

Guest 12/5/2014, 18:46

There are 2 layouts...

Guest 12/5/2014, 19:26

yes but i mean in the 24h sorry

Guest 12/5/2014, 19:28

Do some PitGroups, like they are on the original tracks and cars. Then you can get into the GP Pits. Dunno atm wether PitSpot 1 is at the beginning or end of the pits.

Guest 12/5/2014, 19:32

ok thx

Guest 28/5/2014, 12:24

Can anyone tell me why this track isn't appearing in-game? It's not on the tracklist, but I did click on some empty space while in the circuit tab, which resulted in a ctd.

Guest 28/5/2014, 12:52

First Post from you and already giving a request. You may start with a friendly hello according to the rules, say thx for the track and then you may should ask.
Apart from that I guess you installed it wrong.

**Crimson764** 28/5/2014, 13:35

Sorry Uli, but that's not a request. Although he shouldn't be posting wherever he pleases for his 1st post. The rules state that you must introduce yourself in the introductions thread before posting on the main forum. But like I said, its not a request post, those normally go along the lines of "Please can someone make me this car/track. I need it...etc." In other words straight up gimme gimme posts, that wasn't one of them.

Also check the files if you added the track in the right location, and make sure that every file needed for the track to work correctly, so AIW, TRK, MAS, all those type of files.

Guest 28/5/2014, 13:39

Kris, the way you ask for help, that can be a request. I don't like it if people come here, do their first post in this way without saying at least thx.

Edit: And you may have seen that he is registered since 19th April, so more than a month and didn't say a single word.

**Racingheaven** 28/5/2014, 16:39

no, he was probably to busy downloading Uli agreed

Thank you for pointing that out to me Uli. I've come across many requests before, mostly as gimme gimme, but I never really saw posts like asking for help as requests. I agree with Will, he has been probably been downloading which would make sense as to why he hasn't posted in the one month since his activation. I honestly think, that you shouldn't be able to download anything until youve made 5 or so posts that aren't just requests, we had a rule similar to that on a forum I moderated on. Basically everything apart from the off-topic section was locked until you made 10 valid posts, valid as in no spam no requests no gimme gimme etc. Perhaps this forum could do with that but probably for another day. And seeing as I'm going off-topic, let's get back to your tweaked Spa. Which if I remember correctly, ran fine for me with no issues and it was better optimised than the original Spa it was based on. Still regularly use it offline. Smile

Guest 28/5/2014, 22:59

The major thing I'm criticising is to say at least thx for the stuff you download if you're not very active or not active at all. Anyway, the track works fine as said in my first answer, I guess, he just installed it wrong. We'll see.

I'm several seconds slower than AI whatever mod I use.
Is something wrong in my setting, simulation AI 105-110% strengh or in my poor driving skills?
I had to reduce AI grip to have some fun.
I noticed when I have 280 on top speed AI could do 300 and more, and the older spa versions aren't a reliable parameter, this is bigger, better, this is the real Spa!

Gia in online racing you are very strong always and i can't believed that your driving skills are worse Very Happy

Guest 29/5/2014, 02:07

Great Job
Thanks Smile

**Serban** 31/5/2014, 22:51

thanks alot for the curent version of Spa! (there is a problem at start of time trial mode, the car parachutes from a few meters high from ground)

**gtracer123** 7/7/2014, 04:42

I would like to ask car setups experts on how can I make my front bumper (more likely, lower front left bumper) car evade grinding the eau rouge curve, cars front bumper always grind hard going into eau rouge while turning right.

Regardless of any mods, using F550, I increased the ride height to the max in the setup menu. Maybe there are other things to adjust too..

Everytime I draft into AI coming to eau rouge I lose alot of time passing through it, gap ends up back to like 1.5 seconds behind the AI and unable to overtake on the following straight. The AI averagely goes around 245-255 km/h, I go like 210-225.

Thanks in advance Smile

Regards.

Guest 7/7/2014, 07:30

Oh dear, that's some basic setup work mate Wink

harder springs, harder bumps, harder rebounds, more packer, more ride height, etc. That's all you need to try out Wink

But you will lose a lot of grip on the other corners. So maybe you try with this to learn proper setup work and try to find out, how to improve a car Wink

This can make a huge difference.

**gtracer123** 7/7/2014, 20:47

I try everyday something different, but I think I'm putting their values too random without knowing what I'm doing lol.
So if you say harder springs etc.. meaning to increase or decrease?

I also did try adding a bit of packer, long ago someone refered me to it when having bumpy track it can help, but it didn't help much, or was I putting wrong settings I guess and yes it also affected my steering and grip as you said.

Guest 7/7/2014, 20:55

What is heavier? 1 kg leafs or 1 kg steel? Very Happy

Seriously, you know why the buttons have a + and -?! And what do you think is harder? 180 N/mm or 240 N/mm?

Do you really have no idea? Check the last posting: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Also check the whole topic for further information.

**gtracer123** 8/7/2014, 05:23

That's not what I meant. When I tried different settings, I didn't find any different results than the previous ones, that's why. The only difference was the packers making the car understeer.

But hey thanks for the link, I missed out of that topic, I'll check it out.

Just one question..
After loading the track, whatever car I drive, I always start at the very first garage, why is that?
I noticed this with other tracks as well.
