GPL - Eagle Setups

Hi again, Can anyone point me in the direction of some Eagle setups? I've been looking and its like a wild goose chase. Any ideas? TIA.

Hey, why not try tuning your own setups? -- -Ace- (GPLRank +4.55) GraDee <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8knuem$rhv$[email hidden]... > Hi again, > Can anyone point me in the direction of some Eagle setups? I've been looking > and its like a wild goose chase. > > Any ideas? > TIA. > >

speaking from experience..... With the mayhem seen in open races, the less building of own setups the better. i've found (owned gpl since release date) that if i take the time to try building setups my driving suffers. My advice to anyone even remotely new to GPL, download setups and learn to drive. Martyn_D GPLRank +3.35 Ace wrote:

Some sort of interactive race car setup tutorial software, that's what I need. Any programmers out there ;-?

There have been books about how to set-up racing cars, and they are interactive (you have to turn the pages anyway :-) ) I have no objections to people downloading setups, don't get me wrong, but I'm suggesting that there is a great deal of satisfaction to be had from creating your own. The trouble with other people's setups are that they weren't neccessarily designed for the way I drive, and they feel odd. Now, imagine this happens to you, and the new setup you d/l feels terrible, what to do? Go look for more setups, or start adjusting until you're comfortable with the car's handling, in which case, where do you start? If you've taken the tme to learn how to setup your own car, this'll be a lot easier, because you know what your doing, and you'll spend more time "getting to know" the car, and less time searching the web. I recommend newbies stick to the default setups, minus some fuel, until they feel they can drive consistently and relatively comfortably, and then learn what does what, before changing any other setup parameters. -- -Ace- (GPLRank +1.83) Zen <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:P4Xc5.52187$[email hidden]... > Some sort of interactive race car setup tutorial software, that's what I > need. > > Any programmers out there ;-?

That's all well and good. You have an edge on me. I've read books, suggestions, etc. I have NO setup skill, so I'm at the mercy of 'lucking up' and finding a setup that suits my driving style. It might as well be calculus... :) Eldred -- Tiger Stadium R.I.P. 1912-1999 Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett GPL hcp. +70.45 Never argue with an idiot.

Not everyone knows HOW... Me, f'rinstance... :) Eldred -- Tiger Stadium R.I.P. 1912-1999 Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett GPL hcp. +70.45 Never argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level, then beats you with experience... Remove SPAM-OFF to reply.

Welcome back Eldred! The major obstacles to creating a good setup is gaining an understanding of: 1. How each setup parameter will/should affect the car 2. How each part of the setup affects (or not) other things 3. The relative 'severity' of a particular change. You then need to be comfortable with the car, so that, if your car understeers, you will know whether it is because of the setup, or because of bad technique. If you use toe-in as an example: negative toe-in at the front *should* give the car more bite when turning in, but, too much negative toe can produce instability, and may affect your braking, so it could mean changes to other parts of the setup to counter this. However, you need to make a big change in the toe angle for a relatively small change in steering performance, and a small change in front wheel rate, or rake angle, could produce the desired effects instead. -- -Ace- (GPLRank +1.13) EldredP <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... <snip> > That's all well and good.

That's just it - I have that dilema now. I don't know if the setups are causing me trouble, or if I'm just THAT BAD of a driver. Probably the latter... :) Eldred -- Tiger Stadium R.I.P. 1912-1999 Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett GPL hcp. +70.45 Never argue with an idiot.
