What's the point of using ACE to compress the file?

Yeah, I'd also like to find some good set-ups, particularly for the NGT Porsches. doubleu wrote: > Anyone have any setups for Road Atlanta in GTR2002? (specifically the 550?)

Although I haven't driven all circuits extensively yet, I have to say this is my favourite track right now. You can really fly through some of those corners! (often literally...) Happy new year! Ice D

And its the best Track ever made for any sim ever in the entire history of sims. (I guess you can tell I like it !) "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:%XhQ9.575373$NH2.38552@sccrnsc01...

I don't have any specifically for Road Atlanta, but I tried using Arnao's baseline setup for Donington and it seemed to work well. "doubleu" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:pF8Q9.41783$[email hidden]... > Anyone have any setups for Road Atlanta in GTR2002? (specifically the550?) > >

This may cause you setup-tweaking pros to laugh histerically, but I've taken the Monoco 550 setup, increased the gearing a bit for higher top speeds on the straights, and it seems to be more tolerable than anything else I can find at the moment. I think my best (after about 40 laps lifetime there) is around 1:12.00 with this setup. "Haqsau" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:autpi2$a801u$[email hidden]...

ok, forget what I just said. I've shaved a second off with the 550_V2_Donnig setup. After 8 laps of screwing around, I've managed 1:11.017. Thanks for the suggestion Haqsau!

You're welcome. Personally I am still just working on trying to stay right-side-up through the chicane. ;o) "doubleu" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:x9HQ9.49194$[email hidden]... > ok, forget what I just said.

Hey Haqsau, I'm running the JVG Porsche (N-GT class), and tried the Dinington set-up like you suggest. It fits quite well, except that the bumps and undulations on this track (particularly at the top of the last drop off just before th last right-hander) really unbalance the car. I know next to nothing on set-ups, so would you have any suggestions on what changes to make to settle the car over these bumps? Thanks! (The only changes I make to Doug's set-ups is lowering the diff to 40% -- I know that you have yours around 20%, but that's a bit too squirrely for me....) Bert P.S: In an earlier post regarding the MOMO wheel, you clued me into using the Profiler, and siad that you were working on tweaking the brake axis to have it better match the pedal in GPL. Did you ever settle on a value? I have mine at 33% with 5% deadzone and it feels pretty good. Haqsau wrote:

Haven't got that far yet, plus I was in the 360, which I flipped, so I guess I am having that problem too. First guess would be to bump up the ride height a notch. Also it might make sense to try the Brands Hatch setup instead, since that is probably designed for a little more vertical action. I'm not familiar with all the new tracks yet, so there may be others that are better. Basically look for any track that has a similar length of the straights, similar turn radii, and the same amount of vertical drops. > (The only changes I make to Doug's set-ups is lowering the diff to 40% --I > know that you have yours around 20%, but that's a bit too squirrely for > me....) Actually I think that was Jason Moyer that said that. I won't disagree with him because he is clearly a very fast driver, but I will say it's very dependent on driving style. Personally I like to use as much diff lock as I can get away with - usually about 60% for a mid-engined car. Not sure what the Porsche would like, possibly more since there is more weight on the rear? For comparison in GPL the more weight on the rear axle the more diff clutches I can get away with, so I would assume the Porsche would like 70% or more. But this really depends on your ability to use the throttle to push the car hard enough through the turn to get it to drift, so if you are not comfortable with that you probably will want less diff lock.

What I am using right now is 50% sensitivity, 0% dead spot, and 80% axis range. I went this route instead because the previous method (changing the sensitivity) seemed too hard to tune and seemed to vary too much with car and setup choices. 80% range gives you full linearity, it just means you will never have the brake pressure at full. But I have never felt the need to use full brake pressure in GPL, so it doesn't seem to be a problem. So I backed off on the range until I could feel the pedal starting to get stiff at approximately the same point that the brakes started to function and that worked out to 80%. Haven't had to make any changes to other games, it was only GPL with its twitchy brake sensitivity that was a problem. Honestly, they felt like wet power assisted disc brakes before I made the change. Anyway now I feel like I am getting a very consistent pedal feel in GPL and my ability to find the sweet spot in braking has improved as a result. One thing I should note is that you do not want to recalibrate in GPL after doing this or the effect of the change will disappear. If for some reason you have to recalibrate, set the axis range in the Profiler back to 100% first, recalibrate in GPL, and then go back and change the Profiler range to whatever you ended up with.

Just had another thought - maybe the trick is to start with the Spa setup and then use the gearing and aero settings from Donington or Brands? That way you should get suspension that can handle the whoop-de-doos and the other settings that are closer to what the track needs.

Good Thought, Haqsau. But after comparing the gearing and aero between DA's Donington and Spa set-ups (at least for the NGT Porsches) , I see that they are exactly the same. So, I tried DA's Spa set-up (the diff setting of which had been slightly tweaked by me) on Road Atlanta, and within 3 laps, I cut my PB by about 2-1/2 seconds! Still a little squirrely at the top of that last drop-off, but lots better everywhere else.
