Trans Am Setups

Can anyone lead me to some setups for the Trans Am beta? Or at the very least give me some setting ideas? Thank you

You can a lot of fine setups right here: http://users.skynet.be/AchimT/start.html A lot of people will know Achim from GPL. Enjoy and happy racing. OJ /Can anyone lead me to some setups for the Trans Am beta?/

Thanks Ole. I'd made a bit of a ballyhoo this time around and advertised my own setups :-) I've just uploaded 27 revised, and 1 new setup (for Bell Hill) yesterday. I've changed the underlying philosophy a bit and AAMOF, I'm quite a bit faster with these revised setups. So maybe you'd like have a look as well!

Well, after taking a look at the Glen Long setup, and applying it to the new Bull Run, I am VERY grateful Achim! I have been looking for some setup pointers to make the car less loose upon exiting a turn, and this does it-just pulled a best-ever 135_8 there, and was easily able to punch it in places where I would spin if I did that before (like the exit of the left sweeping hairpin on the backstretch). He lowered tire pressure a little to 20, compression and rebound both 4's on the fronts, 4 & 2 respectively on the backs, caster is 250, and springs soft at 550 front/250 rear (at Bull Run of course they need to be stiffened to prevent bottoming out). Camber 1.80 front, rear >zero< (hmm...). I think the comp, rebound, and caster are the keys to a firm exit. :-) John DiFool

Where's Hockenheim setup? LOL Seems you have more setups than I do tracks "Joachim Trensz" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:bnu1et$15osrs$[email hidden]...

Real nice setups Achim. I loaded a bunch of tracks but I suppose many you got converting from GPL? I do have an issue with shadows at Laguna Seca. The dash goes black except for the tach and I get a black hood and long shadows in other views. All the other tracks look fine. Is there another version of Seca?

That Hockenheim track isn't that great yet, so I didn't expect it to get much interest, and therefor didn't make a setup for it. Achim "Tiny Lund" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:T%Cob.58850$[email hidden]... > Where's Hockenheim setup? LOL Seems you have more setups than I do tracks

Thanks for the feedback! Your version of Laguna is probably for N2002. Many of these tracks are from a converter made by Dave Noonan, which you can buy here: http://www.sim-garage.co.uk/ Achim "Tiny Lund" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:ZCFob.44644$[email hidden]... > Real nice setups Achim.

Thanks for the feedback John! I'm really pleased to see reports like this, as I'd of course like to know what people think about my setups, and of course I can learn something from that as well. And unfortunately, despite a fairly impressive number of visitors to my website, I'm not getting much feedback, so I'm always glad to read such reports.

I got it already converted from M4 Driving. The opening screen does say Noonan in the lower left. "jason moyer" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

This is one of the Laguna's I tried still with funky shadows. It also say Noonan converted. http://www.racesimulations.com/NR2003/files.php?lid=1937 "jason moyer" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I have the old CART so maybe I can try to convert myself. Thanks. I'm playing with the ETCC Mod for F1C now lol. Great Mod! "Goy Larsen" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

As a complete tyro when it comes to actually making setups, I *hate* changing stuff, testing, comparing, changing, etc. Because my driving skills are hardly good enough to knock off consistent laps, it's hours and hours of stultifying boredom. :-/ I'd rather find a solid setup that I can live with and adapt my style to it. That said, when driving GPL I have settled on two different setup sources and am concentrating on maximizing my skills with them. The initials of the creators are AH and AT. :-) Having driven the default setups in NR2003/TA and then installed AT's TA setups, I can only say they're far better than the defaults. Whether they're the best possible -- who knows. They're certainly good enough to settle down with and learn to drive the game properly. And that's good enough for me. Sorry there isn't much hard data expressed here...

Thanks for the Feedback Greg. I wasn't aware that my GPL setups can still be downloaded anywhere! :-) Achim "Greg Dunn" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:021120032245579580%[email hidden]... ... > As a complete tyro when it comes to actually making setups...

I usually default to Alison's setups, but I recall a few tracks where your setup made me a bit faster; possibly because I was really comfortable with the track. As I said, though, if it didn't surprise me, I could likely do OK with it; your setups were stable and fast enough for me. I'm not good enough to discern 0.1 sec a lap on any track. :-) Weren't your setups among the first to explore extra-stiff springs to keep the tub from hitting the bump rubbers? I think that made as much difference as anything, given my flamboyant driving style. :D
