Formula Junior is very fun to drift!
is there smoke improvements also?

 

Yes the kerbs and everything else feel exactly the same on FX 100 and 0. The only difference I can feel is sitting in neutral while the car idles.

 

That's how it is, FX doesn't seem to have a function in Defaults anymore

 

I can confirm your first point. When the tires lock, there is a permanent flat spot and the vibrations and shocks are extreme. The whole rig vibrates. The higher the power of a base, the worse it gets

 

Is an up to date list of the full set of effects covered by the FX channel available? It might be helpful, especially if the canned kerb effect removal is a recent change and not just how it always was, or something

 

Why raising the steering lock to the max if the steering is too direct? You should lower it.

 

Thank you for the explanation

I should probably clarify about my use of "canned". I didn't mean it as a pejorative, rather it's a term I've seen used a lot in relation to added effects in FFB in racing sims over many years, and so I suppose I'd assumed it was the standard terminology for that concept. No offence or implied criticism was intended

 

I really appreciate this approach. Those "canned" effects are important to make me feel like I'm driving a car as the steering wheel is the only way I can feel something physically. For some reason people seem to have started using this "canned" term in very negative way as it would be a bad thing in itself.

ps. If I personally would want to tame the vibrations from kerbs and such as well, at least on Moza bases, I can adjust the FFB EQ on the base software (something I do occasionally also other sims like rF2 if I play late an night and want to keep it slightly quieter for others sleeping close by)

 

I agree for the most part, although in all fairness having the 962s as field fillers in late '80s scenarios is quite authentic, I guess, and if you go the Interserie route, almost anything goes really, even the GTP doesn't seem out of place.

And by tweaking the custom AI file a bit, you can make all cars in the field more even, though the Porsche will always be a bit slower on high speed tracks. You can remedy this by lowering the consistency for the Nissans and the Saubers so they make more minor mistakes that will affect their overall pace.

 

Are Laguna Seca and Laguna different track?

 

I could look at replays of the F-Retro for days, feels so satisfying if you get that slight drift just right, then look back and are surprised on how close you got to reality.

 

It’s 6 am EST, and I’m waking up to several, substantive posts by @Domagoj Lovric and @Coanda about the FFB changes included in the RC … contributions like these really separate Reiza from the pack.

 

“When Revson came to McLaren he could drive [the McLaren M23] and I could virtually drive his. Now, as for Emerson, he has completely different ideas and techniques. He likes to drive it more on the throttle with the tyres sliding, whereas I'd sooner have it slightly understeering. So the contrast is completely different.

[...]

All through the year Goodyear always improved front tyres and I can't drive with an oversteering car. I need better rear tyres. So, because the car was oversteering all the time, we needed to do something about the anti-squat characteristics. We put on the anti-squat and, for me, it made no difference if it was 'up' or 'down.'" --Denny Hulme

I love the M23. Maybe it's the James Hunt factor, maybe it's the cockpit, or maybe I just dig cars where I can see the front suspension at work.

 

I am hoping that for 1.5 apart from having steering lock adjustable in fixed setup lobbies, that the minimum value can be customised to lower than 14/16 on all cars. This will be ideal for ovals and also for some cars with over direct steering e.g. BMW GT3/4.
