Re: GPL Turning radius decreases with steering ratio ??

GPL steering ratio and hairpins; NASCAR Heat release date

Roger Squires found high steering ratios made hairpins impossible in GPL, and others explained the steering lock limit and the speed-sensitive steering hack in core.ini. Greger Huttu said he uses around 16:1 with the steering hack off except at certain tracks, and WinVROC's option to toggle it was noted. Later in the thread, NASCAR Heat producer Ed Martin gave the game's official shelf date as 22 August.

Yes. The total amount the tyres can turn also depends on the steering ratio, since the steering wheel has a hard limit how far it can turn left or right. If you have a steering ratio of 18:1 then it means, that 18 (degrees?) of steering input will result in 1 degree of tyre movement. So the lower the steering ratio you have (14:1 for example) the more the tyres will turn and you can also make a tighter curve with less steering input. -Juha -- //[email hidden]

If you have the steering hack enabled in the core.ini then whatever ratio you set the wheel to will remain constant, whereas if it is disabled you will get a 7:1 ratio as your car goes below 70mph (or is it 50??) thus enabling you to make it around hairpins and such. TJSB Juha Kallioinen wrote:

From the 1.1 read.me By default, GPL uses a speed-sensitive steering ratio. At and above 60MPH, the steering ratio specified by your car setup is used. Below that speed, your the steering ratio will be set to somewhere between 7:1 and the ratio defined by your car setup. GPL does this to make it possible to exit your pit stall when pit road is crowded, and to make navigating hairpin turns easier. You can disable this feature by adding the following two lines to core.ini [ Hack ] steer_ratio = 0 So 1 is on and 0 is off. Don Scurlock Vancouver,B.C.

You have three choices. 1) Take the steering ratio down - makes the car trick to control though on straights and shallower bends. 2) Turn the steering hack on as other people have described. You may get funny problems in slow corners however. 3) Put on a bit of extra power or trail brake your way round. You'll almost certainly tank into the barriers and mash the car though. Apparently last year was the first year in ages that williams had built a car which was capable of putting enough steering lock to get around the lowes hairpin. Previous years the drivers had to oversteer to get around. -- Richard G.

I think you are correct. I have thought so myself too, that in fact, you need more *skill* to drive on higher steering ratios and still drive fast. This obviously includes, as you said, knowing the track and the car. And I hardly can say that I know the tracks or the car(s). So : More practising -> set a higher steering ratio -> break the world records.

13:1 twitchy?? Pretty slow steering response for me...the highest I will go anymore is 10:1 but I prefer 7:1 as a general rule.

Sure, these ratios makes the car more twitchy, but the main thing is that these setting allows me to opposite lock fast enough. My advice to Eldred and to everyone else is to try Nunnini's Lotus setup at the Ring, using 13:1 steering ratio and 57 pst brake balance. I did that, and Improved my PB at the third lap by 8 seconds.

I also had this problem. I've turned off the steering hack, because it screwed up the slow hairpins. But then I needed a sub 1:10 ratio at Monaco to make the hairpins, but this made the car too twitchy in the faster corners. I solved the problem by using a 1:8 ratio on every track, every car, every setup and set the linearity slider to only about 2/3rd linear (where the gauge needle of the background pic is). This has the advantage that the car feels quite the same on every track and I can apply a vast opposite lock, which can correct otherwise unrecoverable spins. Today I had such an incident at Spa, Burnenville, where I put a wheel on the dirt at 300kph and I recovered the Lotus from maybe 45degs sideways. This cost only about a second due to speed loss, but would have been impossible with a 1:13 or 1:15 ratio. Try it out, full linearity is not the holy grail! BTW, I'm using a LWFF.

Are you kidding? If I used 13:1, I'd quickly be in the wall(bushes/trees). I took Alison's Lotus setups, and had to change them all to 18:1. Too twitchy otherwise...

Yes, I have a GFFF. Before with TM Nascar Pro I used 14:1 or 15:1 steering ratio but now with GFFF I've begun to use 16:1. It feels better somehow.

No, I have mine set at 100 percent linear. It's not jumpy although it is sensitive and once you get the hang of it you can be very precise. TJSB Jon Andersen wrote:

Not stupid, but you must have missed my other message about it. Alison's setups usually have a 15:1 ratio. I can't drive it, so I bump it up to 18:1 >I remember you once stating that you find the car too 'twichy'. >My english isn't too good in all areas, so I don't exactly now what that >means, but >I quess that means, that you feel the car too sensitive to drive.

Why? Just because you 'toned down' during a race? What's your NORMAL Spa time, and where did you finish in the race?

As a huge fan of your setups Greger, I must say that your post is to me probably the most useful information I have learned from following this newsgroup. I have alternated between hack on and off, but now it is going off for good. Thanks again. BTW, are you increasing your ratio with the GFFF because (and I'm guessing here) it has a shorter lock-to-lock than the TM Nascar Pro (which I recall has 270 degree lock-to-lock)?

Well, on a clean lap I do 3:22-3:25 with not trying to push too hard but try to drive fast. And I felt that I was driving like that. (pb is 3:20:xx). BUT when I think about it, did I have a clean lap on that race? I don't have a replay and Spa is just long enough for me to feel I did a good lap, and just forget that *little* spin somewhere :-). Honestly (in this at least 2nd degree interrogation :-}) I cannot say for sure I had a clean lap. It was a nice race with 18(!) drivers. 1st lap eau-rouge was a mess (as always?) but after that I think it was all and all a good race. I started 18th and finished 6th! Well, all passing I did was the cars that had crashed or spinned off or just discoed. BTW. 5 laps at Spa is too short for a race IMO. I think I'm getting a better racer. At monza I can put a 11 laps race, with all laptimes at the 1:30-level and no spins. Well, almost none ;) Still if I'm catching someone and come close, I tend to loose it just because I'm trying, maybe too hard, to avoid hitting to others tail. I need to practise passing.

Ok, so you're about 5 seconds faster than me, both PB and races. In a 5 lap race at spa, I'm usually about a minute behind at the end... :( Any longer, and I'd get lapped.
