Project Cars Stoopid Challenges

[born2bslow]

Mark, great work on this, I bet you enjoy that st really don't you?

Crazy IT guys and their inquisitive minds...where would we all be without you guys around, oh yeah, still manually entering times in a hard to format table lol.

I wish I could get my head around stuff like this, spreadsheets are my limit.

Right, I think Imight have had ABS on my lap, so please remove and i'll redo.
I am confused(i know...) I've get aides to Real in pCars and the app says that TC and SC should be available.
However I just get Traction Control N/A when i'm using my mapped buttons, which normally indicates those aides are not available.
So can I use TC/SC?

You shouldn't be getting Traction Control as N/A.

If you have it on real for this car, ABS is NOT available and TC and SC are. So if you try and turn on ABS it should say unavailable. The other two you can turn on and off as to whatever rocks your world. PCLapUpdater won't let you send laps with an aid turned on that isn't available for the car. So if you try and use ABS on this car, it won't send the lap.

Basically if you have the aids set to Real you can't go wrong.

You should be able to delete your own lap times under your name on the left hand side of the website

Same here
I have set to real and the three options mapped to my keyboard but when I try and turn them on and off it says N/A?

It works in free practice but not TT.

But the f1 didnt have traction control or stability control?
Why can't we just make it easier for everyone and have whatever aids you want lol

[mark7389]

Yes, mine are all set to off now as well, now I'm confused.......

[mark7389]

Right, I've made an upcock, with the McLaren F1 and driving aids on Real, everything should be OFF, ABS, traction and stability control, all off

[Ian_sUK]

Trons not going to be happy!

Currently setting fast times but with TC and SC on from the upcock

[Tronneh]

Bah cock womble!

Oh well, at least I have a grasp of not locking up the tyres now.
Managed a 1:35.381 which was only what, 3 tenths slower with ABS?

[mark7389]

We'll leave all times as is and put this down to experience. The new PCLapUpdater should sort things out for the next round.

[xjay1337]

If we have abs on, can I have my wr lap back?

[Tronneh]

No, because I beat it

I think this combo proves power nothing is without control!

[xjay1337]

I did a 1.34.3 with abs

Just saw your latest time, epic mate.

Will give it a bash tomorrow

[Tronneh]

It's interesting, feels like your braking so much earlier and apex the corner slower, but seem to make up some of the time back up on exit.

[mark7389]

Livened things up a bit anyway :-)

Stunning lap Tronneh. I'm 6th in the world and 3rd on here. Competition is tough. Really enjoying this car. Drifts beautifully. In am loosing half a second in sector 2. Will try again tomorrow.

[xjay1337]

That's it for me.

I can get faster but I'm apparently waking myself up in a panic at night going "F1!"....

Anybody else having problems installing the new version of PCLapUpdater on windows10...I get as far as install then it says:

ERROR SUMMARY
Below is a summary of the errors, details of these errors are listed later in the log.
* Activation of D:\Games\PCLapUpdater\PCLapUpdater\PCLapUpdater.application resulted in exception. Following failure messages were detected:
+ Exception occurred loading manifest from file PCLapUpdater.exe: the manifest may not be valid or the file could not be opened.
+ Cannot load internal manifest from component file.

All unzipped and loaded where I've installed previously and I tried from the download directory on a different drive as well, sometimes I get a message saying the temp file is being used by another application...

I really want to have a go in the Group5 on Bannochbrae so anybody who can help please shout up!

Just looked at xjays lap timings. Amazing consistency. Alien level

stuff about errors on new pclap updater

No problem with mine. I am on Windows 10. Did you unintelligible the previous version first as that sometimes causes problems
