What happened to Spa?

Coming

cool

LATE CHANGE TO MOD.

The server is giving a mismatch, so we had to change the mod to the NIPPONS.

I have found that since the new GSC update giving you steering rotation in the Garage setup, the older mod cars are undriveable due to having the steering rotation on 0 degrees. You cannot match your sim wheel to the real car movement.
Also only with the Nippons I get unnecessary FFB going down the straight chattering from side to side.
My conclusion is we have to use the stock Reiza cars and Mods that have steering rotation included.

Having sriven the cart extreme, and the nippon around the track for tonight... these nippons are lovely to drive

Cant wait for next week when taekwondo isnt on because count me in for the future races with these

Ive also started recording the races and editing them, gonna add graphics and commentary too... maybe get a great guy called tom brooks in to help me with commentary

My ffb was also far too much on the straights but I have changed it and is fine now.
In your RealFeelPlugin.ini add the following for the Nippons;
[FN200]
MaxForceAtSteeringRack=-1800.000000
SteeringDamper=11500.000000
FFBMixerRealFeelPercent=60.000000
FrontGripEffect=0.200000
SmoothingLevel=7
Kf=11500.000000
Ks=4.000000
A=1.000000
Kr=3.000000

If there is already a [FN200] section, delete it first.
The RealFeelPlugin.ini file can be found in the main GSC folder.

Thanks Christo Ill give it a go

Well this was fun, wasnt quite feeling it last night as i was a bit ill but at least i had some pace

Quali: fairly average... was what i expected, hoped for second but i was .007 seconds off

Race 1: spun at the start because i could barely hear anything... thanks pop ups, spent rest of my time chasing and i got close kev and francois but i couldnt keep it there, the minute we came to a corner and i was less then a second behind soneone the understeer was unbelievable

Race 2: started ok this time, nothing like my practise starts but better then before, once again chading but christos wherl isdue bumped me to second behind pete where i dtayed due to the dirty air again slipped to third but then going round the final corner the car decided to kill me and so that was that race done 6 laps early

Race 3?: started exactly in the middle and another mediocre start was a bit closer this time and no one went hurrendously wide at turn 1 so going into turn 3 i had so much understeer that it was stupidly difficult to keep it on track, had the delight of trying to pass pete again... until he slipped off the track at turn 1 gifting me the place, was cathing kev by a second a lap till i pushed too hard and kissed the wall going onto the main straight, giving spectaculuarly bad suspension damage

If i dont quite feel up to doing taekwondo tonight im going to get editing and adding graphics to the last race i recorded and hopefully add commentary and get it fone for the weekend

Had a great evening with some truly super cars.
At least I can compete with them and had a blast.
I felt really bad about the contact with Ken in race 2. So sorry my friend.
All in all, a great evening had by all the drivers. Thanks guys.

The Nippons are very nice cars to drive so I enjoyed the chance to take them for a spin again.
Race 2 was a disaster for me as my wheel rotation went to default and I went wide in T1. Making a quick adjustment along the straight towards T2 I was ready to race. But I could not pick up to the front runners and was 2 seconds off pace. Discovered after the race that my setup also reverted to default settings.
Was real fun racing these cars again, well done to all that raced.
