Indycar 2 and Breaking

Has anybody noticed that the breaking distances with ic2 are a lot longer. I used to be able to break at the 200 mtr mark now I am having to break at the 300 mtr point at least. Anybody elsa noticed this.

I certainly does seem that way. In ICR1, it was more of a put the brakes on hard at braking point and wait until the car slows down for the turn. In ICR2 it seems more like one needs to start applying the brakes earlier, but not as hard. I am using the Thrustmaster T1 and find alot of the time I need to "play" the brakes alot more, easing into the braking zone. I wonder if this is the programmers' way of making the braking more realistic. One still can't lock up the wheels, though the car tends to slide if one tries. -- **************************** Michael E.

I have found the same thing as Michael. It's sort of like jamming the brakes all the way to the floorboard is like locking them up, although there's no indication that this is the case (if it is). Note that since we're using 1995 cars (compared to 1993 cars in ICR1), we have about 40% less down force right out of the chute. You may notice that a lot of the road courses run maximum or near-maximum wing, while in ICR1 we often had FAR lower wings. -- Brian Wong Systems Engineering Group (Servers)
