Mark, you need to get your geek on, I'm sure the official leaderboards pick this up so it must be in the packet data exchanged with Race Central somehow...

I don't think it's in the udp data stream though, I'll have an investigate.......

[xjay1337]

That's annoying

I'll have to give it another go at some point.

Might be easier for me to try TT mode with ABS and no PCLapupdater...you will hate the thing without ABS as it loses all braking stability...it's like spanking the missus' arse, shouting your exes name during doggy style sex and seeing how long you can hang on without being chucked off...

I'll have to try that loool

You love a challenge

[xjay1337]

There you go. No aids.

:-)

[mark7389]

Bugger me, that's quick

[xjay1337]

I quite like it, it's fun without ABS. Just need to be smooth.

I could get another half a second with more time, I kicked the Mrs off the TV and did a few laps.

[born2bslow]

Holy st xjay...good lap!

I'm out for steak tonight, will have a go tomorrow night but don't hold much hope...

[mark7389]

Anyone think of any other technicalities we can pull him up on ??????

Finally felt like it clicked with this car today and managed to get down into the 1:40's which is probably my limit. Still hate the car and that damn braking zone before the chicane.....grrrrrrrrrrr :-)

[xjay1337]

Steak sounds good b2b! We watched SPLIT, that's a weird (and good!) movie.

Maybe auto clutch is banned since in real life it has a manual :-)

Hickory Smokehouse, was awesome very American BBQ bang goes the blood pressure but hey...

Anyway slow down you swine...

I've only watched kid friendly movies for the last 10 years...can't say I feel I've missed out, watched suicide squad the other day and just thought meh it was alright....

[born2bslow]

I have no answer to Tron, xjay and Rob...I love everything about driving this car except the braking, which has me completely defeated. Good work gents!

[xjay1337]

Well done Tron.

I'll try and have another go. Been doing Bathurst in a Ruf...thats been...rough... hah...geddit....ill leave.

[mark7389]

Having more people has raised quite a few issues that I didn't anticipate so I've had to change some things.

1) Password only login wasn't cutting the mustard, so changed to userid and password combo with forgotten password link.
2) Being able to select your own name in PCLapUpdater was a disaster waiting to happen so changed to a login and password.
3) Leaving PCLapUpdater running and driving a different car and track was a problem so sorted that so it only sends the lap if you're in the right car/track
4) Website became a bit of a visual data overload, so tidied it up a bit

Anyway, what I'm leading up to, is that there is another issue of checking that people are driving with Driving Assists Allowed set to Real. We don't want to be chasing an impossibly quick time because someone has ABS on for example when it's not allowed and no-one else has it on.

So here comes PCLapUpdater v1.09 which I'm afraid you'll have to download and install.

Cheers
Mark

They light up like a Christmas Tree when you plough into a barrier :-)

So I'm confused on the rules.
I always use abs but no other aids.
Except in this challenge with the macca f1.

When you set aids to "real" it automatically turns on these aids in cars that i don't want, and no way to turn these off.

So what do we do?

You set the Driving Aids to real on the Project Cars options. You then only have the driving aids available that the actual car has. You can then turn the ones that are available on or off by mapping ABS, TC and Stability to buttons on your steering wheel, I use L3, L2 and R2. And R1 for headlights :-)

[xjay1337]

Thanks. Think I have no programmle buttons free. I'll have to look.

Otherwise I'll just stick to abs and no aids unless told otherwise. ;-)

[born2bslow]

Isn't there a keyboard that works on PS4? You would have loads of buttons to choose from then. My TC/SC and ABS are neatly set up as B,N and M. It says n/a if you try and switch it on and it's not allowed. I always switch TC off because it gets in the way...SC can be useful, ABS is the best thing since sliced bread, the F1 is a joy to drive with it on.
