Hi All, dumb question, I guess, but does anyone else have a lot of trouble with odd acceleration/throttle drops on the new Cleveland airport track. I've raced it with the new Formula USA, Formula Trainer and GTE3 class cars and seem to have the same issue of intermittently losing throttle, sometimes very badly and almost artificially, especially on the first straightaway. Someone suggested its the bumpy nature of the track, and I've improved after driving it a lot recently, but off all the tracks currently available in the game it's the only one I can't really race on" just weird stops and slow-downs all over the place, not just corners, for example. Watkins Glen is great, but even as bad as I drive, I'm afraid maybe the newCleveland track is bugged (for me). Any ideas, racers?
I don't have a video (yet), I'm afraid, but many thanks. After my latest foray on the Cleveland track with an old Opala stock car, which just basically slowed to about 40 mph tops at full throttle/pedal on a straightaway, I'm convinced I have a bug of some sort : ( I'll try to see about adding a video to this post. I figured the Opala would handle the bumps more readily, but it literally wont go faster than 45-55mph in the straightaways...Very weird?
Same problem with the MiniCooper, even more pronounced actually: car wouldnt go faster than 45 mph after the first opening turn. Weird, weird....using new Default + settings which are excellent otherwise. G29 wheel and deleted all my old profiles as directed. A shame as Cleveland looks like it could be fun, Bummer: (
Are you driving the track in reverse? Driving the wrong way does exacly that, because automatic pit limiter won't disengage.If you want to drive the track in the wrong way, you need to set pit limiter to manual.
Hmmm, that's interesting, but no, I just ran a race Formula USA against 5 other same class cars and they all lapped me. At times I could hit 155mph on the back straightaway but then other times I was slowed to 60 or so--on a straightaway--as they raced right past me. Infuriating! But thanks for the input.
Are you by any chance using traction control? (Ingame TC also reacts a lot over bumps) If so: Set driving aids to "authentic" in the gameplay options and try again.
Problem solved. Seems I had Driving and Braking Assists on, so I turned those off and set Driving Assists to Authentic. Cleveland track races like a speed king now, as expected! Wow! Thanks for all the sage advice, racers!
