The folks at the High Gear F1CS2K forums have come up with some
suggested changes for the engine inertia, stiffness, and friction
values for the F1CS All Chassis Patch ("ACP"). The goal at this point
is to improve tire wear characteristics without compromising the
enhanced "feel" you get with the ACP. If anybody else would like to
test these new values and give us your thoughts, you can download
the "Beta2" version here:
http://irlinsider.adnetweb.com/sims/F1CSACPV2Beta.zip
This works just like the All Chassis Patch; the executable zip file has
a different name than the V1 version, so if you have that on your
machine, you should be able to easily switch back-and-forth from these
new values to the original "All Chassis Patch" values. The Beta2
version features slightly relaxed engine inertia values (0.110 versus
the 0.090 value in the current ACP release) to compensate for the
different tire friction values, so the engine might not feel as
responsive as it does in the original V1 version of the ACP.
I've also put together a "Beta3" version of the All Chassis Patch using
the enhanced tire values that includes some slightly more aggressive
engine inertia values (0.060, versus 0.090 in the original ACP or 0.110
in the Beta2 version). With the Beta3 verion, you might have to move
your brake balance forward, because your brakes will no longer have to
be slowing down the engine as well as the car (just a click or two
should do). You can download the Beta3 version here:

Check these out and leave your comments here, or e-mail me if you'd
like. So far I REALLY like the Beta3 values, but there are some varying
opinions on this. The goal is still to come up with a fixed set of
values that can be incorporated into Si Phi's Replay Manager, to allow
for the use of the ACP in offline leagues, hotlap competitions, and
online racing, so your input is needed.
Enjoy!

Jb, when's the final version due so I don't have to download so many Beta's?
<grin>
-Cheers!

Good question! <G>
I'm trying to find some sort of consensus amongst the masses so I can
finalize the "All Chassis Patch." Once consensus of sorts is reached
and the patch is finalized, I will solicit Si Phi to "allow" these
values in his Replay Manager, which would then enable people to use
these values in hotlap competitions, league play, etc.
In lieu of some sort of consensus (or more feedback from the masses),
I'm going to simply play "dictator" and finalize the patch using MY
favorite values (the Beta3 version fits that description at the
moment). I'm no expert, and I don't claim to be as adept at all this
as the "Friends of ISI" who developed SCGT's Advanced Options Editor,
which is why I've been trying to make this a community effort, but that
may not be a workable solution. I know I won't be able to please all
the people all the time, but I'd like to have more input before I try
to establish my "own" personal "standard" for F1CS2K advanced physics.
Make sense?
