Here you can choose from existing strategies and either edit them or make them the current one for the session. Or create a new one/rename it/set it active/delete it.
Next step will be to add a control in-game so that you can either edit your strategy or select from these pre-made ones during the race.
Formula Rookie Championships
The Formula Rookie is closest to the Formula Ford Duratec real-world car, which is an entry level single seater open wheel racer. There are many different championships around the world that use the Formula Ford. The structure and format for these vary quite a bit as well. I looked at a good number of the more popular ones, and used the official Formula Ford Championship Sporting Regulations (MSA) as a general guide to lay out the format for pCars to use.
The amount of races in a Formula Ford Championship vary quite dramatically from year to year. The 2013 season consists of 30 races across 10 venues. The previous one was 20 races across 7 venues. Some venues host two races (called a double header), others three races (triple header). From a game perspective, I'd wage that three races in a row on the same track could get mildly repetitive, therefor I suggest sticking with two races per venue. The amount of venues per championship will vary depending on if it's a National, Regional, or World Championship.
Formula Ford teams vary wildly in size in the real world, not only between different countries, but from year to year in the same country. There are typically 12 to 18 teams per championship. Drivers per team also vary dramatically, with some teams having a single driver, and others as many as eight! For pCars, I suggest we stick with twelve teams and two drivers per team for the World Championship. We drop the field size for lesser championships.
pCars Format
There are three levels of championships: National, Regional, and World Championship.
National Championship: 5 venues, 2 races per venue, total 10 races
Regional Championship: 7 venues, 2 races per venue, total 14 races
World Championship: 10 venues, 2 races per venue, total 20 races
Event Format
Each event plays off over two days (Saturday/Sunday) and four sessions. It starts off with an open practice session. A qualifying session is then used to decide the grid for all the event's races. The driver's fastest lap decides the grid placement for race one and the second fastest time decides the grid placement for race two.
Day 1 - Saturday
Open Practice - 60 mins
Qualifying - 20 mins
Day 2 - Sunday
Race 1 - 15 miles, Grid placement based on fastest Qualifying lap
Race 2 - 15 miles, Grid placement based on second fastest Qualifying lap
Race starts
All races are standing start and begins with a single Green Flag (formation) lap. Grid placement is two rows.
Pits
The pits are open during Practice, Qualifying and Races. Speed limit is 60 kph. Refueling and tyre changes are allowed.
Scoring
Top 15 according to the following scale:
30,27,24,22,20,18,16,14,12,10,8,6,4,3,2,1
All other finishers, 1 point each
Bonus points
Fastest Lap: 1 point per race
Pole Position: 1 point
Pole position bonus points will only be awarded for pole positions set in the designated qualifying session. Pole positions in grids set by second quickest qualifying times will not gain bonus points. That is, only race one's pole position counts for the bonus point.

QuiAs me pierda algo de sensaciones en los pianos, que los noto, pero prefiero notar mucho mejor la falta de adherencia del coche.
A mi parecer cuanta mas dura la direccion mas precisa es y mas noto cuando deja de hacer fuerza por falta de adherencia, y sigo teniendo las demas sensaciones aunque si puede ser que se camuflen un poco mas con la fuerza del volante pero no me importa, y eso de que se salga la barra de telemetria del grafico o el famoso clipping no se lo que es pero para mi lo importante es que me transmite bien

Es que no recuerdo que eso me pasara en builds anteriores...
Lo he probado con el Z4 y el Lotus 69...
Yo he notado algo parecido en las últimas builds, y parece que es algo que nota más gente.
Todavía no he probado la 524, pero esto es lo que ha escrito uno en el foro oficial:
Downloaded the build 524, tried the m3 gt. Now, with my g27, the feedback is perfect. There isn' t anymore the sensation of loss wheel in corners when it' s not real, like before.
Puede que esté relacionado con lo que tú dices. A ver si se ha solucionado.
New profile is good advice. Also only test the three CFPT cars please, others could quite easily get broken by core tech changes being made while their data isn't updated to match.
(You can drive non-CPFT cars of course, just don't report bugs yet.)
CPFT, Week 2, Pagani Zonda R, Bologna
[This test will go live on Thursday with Build 525 and end Thursday, August 1st]
Physics Changes:
* New engine braking curve. Old one was based on a 7.3L engine, which is obviously wrong for the Zonda R.
* Fuel consumption adjusted. Will do about 17mpg at highway speeds, dropping to around 3mpg driving hard around a track. So it will burn through the tank in about 45 minutes, which seems right compared to GT3 cars.
* Small boost to rear downforce at moderate yaw angle
* Dropped FFB tire force multiplier to reduce clipping
* Reduced slip that TC will allow to a very safe number. This will be adjustable live on track in the future.
* Reduced shift times. They claim the Zonda Revolucion shifts in 20ms; moved closer to that number.
* Increased range of spring rate adjustment. There is a bit of ambiguity on the spring rates we were quoted (whether they were true spring rates or wheel rates) so I'm waiting for more information from them to clear that up. Default *spring* rate remains 75N/mm front and rear, but you can test 75N/mm wheel rate by maxing out the spring stiffness.
* Tire slip curves ‘softened’ slightly
Setup Changes:
* Rear wing down to setting 5 by default
* Small changes to rollbar, caster and toe settings
* Increased steering ratio to 16:1
* Brake bias forward 5%
* Reduced differential lock by a lot.
* New dampers and settings all around. Similar to the one that works well on our GT3 cars. This made a big difference.
Testing Notes:
TC and ABS use is encouraged.
This car is not easy to drive at 100%. 1:50 is an easy laptime at Bologna, 1:44 is probably manageable for most. Getting that last 10% is a lot of work. It is massively overpowered for the grip available. If you have a trouble getting a handle on it, I would recommend turning the air restrictor size down to 40mm or less to cut some power for training. This will tame the car and let you get a better feel on how it handles certain situations without overreacting to your throttle inputs. And 600hp is still quite a lot where I come from. At that power level it actually reminds me of the Maserati MC12 from GTR2, which isn't a bad thing at all in my opinion. Driving it at full power is like Lotus 49 in a way; it arrives at corners so much faster than you expect that braking points feel too early, cornering speeds feel too slow. Try it at Wisconsin and compare your entry speeds to the Z4 GT3 from CPFT Week 1.
There is a tendency to lift-off oversteer in mid-corner which has to be balanced using throttle. This seems to be a quirk of the suspension design as much as setup. I haven't successfully tuned around it yet.
I think the default setup can be improved still, so let's work on finding something comfortable without being slow. It tends to understeer, but that's just the nature of this beast from what I can see. There is a 47/53 weight distribution split and similar aero, but the tire split is 43/57. It really is all about keeping that 730HP under control. Let's see what you all can come up with to improve the setup.
Benchmark time for Bologna: 1:40.0
DDD. ¿A alguien mas le pasa? Posibles causas? Perdón por el tocho. manel55 escribió:No tengo claro el tema de las ayudas a la conduccion en los eventos. Un compañero dice que se recomiendo el ABS en el evento del Z4. Yo juego con todas las ayudas desactivadas, ¿quiere decir que recomiendan activar alguna ayuda?
No lo acabo de entender.

Ayer termine el video. Ya lo tengo.

A mi el FFB recomendado por andy no me sirve. Demasiado Tire force. Yo no puedo subir de 30 de Tire force en mi volante. Tengo un G25.
Yo antes iva con la configuracion que dice andy, pero solo sentia fuerza, que el volante tiraba de mi, pero ni pianos, ni nada, ni sensaciones al frenar ni nada.
Desde que lo configure con el HUD, madre mia... Impresionante, el FFB me a mejorado muchisimo.
El FFB se configura dependiendo de cada volante. Los G25 y G27 sinceramente tienen un motor de FFB bastante malo y debil, de ahi que no se puede subir casi nada el Tire Force.
Seguramente con un Thrustmaster t500rs podreis subir los valores mucho mas.
De ahi que mucha gente dice, no es que yo quiero el volante mas fuerte. mmm Okey pero si tienes un g25 o g27 es que llega un momento que si lo subes mas, va a peor... Mas fuerte si, pero pierdes toda sensación. No lo digo yo, lo dice el HUD, si no fijaros.
Llega un momento que con un g25 o g27 o peor, no se puede aspirar a mas. Son motores debiles, que si los fuerzas, encima de ir mal, no va a durar nada el volante.
Aqui os dejo el video, me ha costado, porque es mi primer video editado, pero bueno. Espero que os sirva y que me haya explicado bien sobretodo. Cualquier duda, ya sabeis.

El realismo en los juegos no siempre va ligado al NO uso de ayudas y mas si los coches reales si las tienen como dice Aritz en el caso del Z4. Llega un punto que la dificultad para mejoras los buenos tiempos en un circuito tambien es elevada si se ha hecho con ayudas y por lo tanto, el reto es similar al hecho de no llevarlas.
En definitiva se trata de emular al maximo tanto las sensaciones como los aspectos tecnicos de cada coche.
