Automation Game Prototype Series [Round 1 Complete]

[quote=“Lucdeluc”]After information from applepi66 some cars or only my are bugged on that map couse of rear wing and attachments. Removing them will stop the problems but cars will be a little slower - so, few tracks would need “app” to remove some body parts.

Tracks are: Circuit de la Sarthe, Green Hell, Daytona Sports Course. Those are identified. Just for working cars - remove some body parts. :wink:[/quote]

Hi. From my experience, you don’t have to completely remove the rear wing. I have faced the same problem. You just have to find the appropriate setting for the simulation to work.

What’s the next track?

hmmm… that’s a shame! focussed to much on the looks of the car :slight_smile:

I realy surprised by the result of my Red Monster Prototype. Turbo one is definitely designed for a track with more turns, braking and accelerations with short straights. As begginer I think results are good.

e: applepi66, can you paste all rounds results into your first post?

WOO! I SUCK AS USUAL! :smiley:

Then I will try to help you a little as far as I learnt. Be patient… as I drink beer.

All my test I done at Automation Test Track. Not that one we were facing. Result was 4:17,89 (at La Sarthe). *

Now I study my mistakes.

I dont look at engine now. Now I look mistakes at bodywork. First one… which is last one in car creation is suspension. Changing degrees I am not sure how it is in english correctly of rear one from -2,50 to -2,40 gave me time: 2:17,56. Improvment of 0,33 sec. Not bad by one move. Lowering it to -2,30 will rise up time to 4:20,39. So… by test we can achive some seconds just taking correct angles of suspension compared to our bodywork/track/engine etc.

We are now at 2:17,56.

Next one is difference between body and wheel. I have 239,1 mm. I suspected more turns… so. I see that circuit and lets try to lower it. Lets do test… (2-5 minutes) and lets lower it to 226.0 mm. We got 4:17,40. Lower than this time is rising. Decreasing that will make our car less angling at turns. So it should keep beter on track… but doing it too much can make our car in blocking wheels on turns. Something like this.

I am better 0,49 sec just changing 2 parameters of my car. Kind of very easy for each mechanic which I am not.

Going that way… you can achive body which you desire. Then you can arrange your engine to your bodywork. Good one (but time taking) is to create few more revisions of engine. And watch where each engine works good or bad. I cannot provide solution, maybe RaduST can give more information… as I am learning… but searching the answer “WHY” is straight way to success.

P.S. “Elasticity of the springs” … hell… I dont know how it works.

Another one…

I used “Top Security” in my car. As I drive it I want to feel safe. I am not driving it - driver can die. Lowering it from top to zero… makes us safe 102.0 kg of body. Time dropped… from 4:17,40 to 4:15,40. 2 sec per 100 kg. I will not drive it! - but its faster now.*

Truth be told guys, I specifically designed my cars to be quick around La Sarthe. I know for certain that my 2.0 turbo will suck around slow tracks. I expect mixed results over the next races.

OK. Sorry for being impatient and asking, but will there be any more races in this competition?

Yes. Sorry for the awkward quietness; schoolwork’s been a bit of a bog but I’ll have more times posted on Saturday.
