NFS MW : Post U'r Tuning On Lotus Elias

[Tuokool]

couple of 1:42.xx 1st laps, but I have been braking at the table and chairs you sometimes smash thru, but no need to brake I see. A fair bit depends on how well I take the corners, like, if I can take that one @ 150 km/hr or better seems good, and another one I got to work out are those 2 humps with the right at top of 2nd one.

I've only had the game 3 weeks, and I spent 1st 2 going thru career, so I've got alot to learn.

But, WCG wrote and said Australia are just working on their web site, but they will have it open with details soon enough. :), something to aim at I guess.

Thanks for your help so far too :D, tho I find it hard to drive with your steering/handling. I guess the biggest part of getting quick times will be the drive lines/paths to take, not so much tuning. Tho I might be wrong..

'The One !', I did a 1:41.43 1st lap, 4 seconds better than I was doing at start of night, :D, but still fair way off the pace. I think I can make this 1:40 1st lap soon as this 1:41 had slide out left then right lol.

I would like to learn how to take those hills, after that long straight short cut. Some times I come through them nicely, but other times I lose lots of speed on landing, and also how to go up that hill after them, where at the top the track goes right and then you go through the service station. That whole section is not going nicely for me yet.

Losing too much speed most of the time there.

I started the night not liking this track, and now I am enjoying it :D :blush:

Also, I took ride height from +5 down to -5 and I can handle corners nicer :)

'Tuokool' u r doing well, keep it up. :) On Diamond, somehow i did 1:39.xx on the 1st lap but i messed my settings and went back to 1:40 to 1:41. :(

I'm trying again again and again. :D

Ahh, :D, you too, keep it up also :D

I will try and do another video, hopefully for Bay Bridge and maybe for diamond, not that I'm anything to note, but so that we can say where should be done differently :D, and maybe where was good already.

[Tuokool]

Ok, I got another video done for Bay Bridge. It's the 1st 2 laps, 1:14.47 1st lap with one crash through road sign, and pretty ugly on 2 wheels at last hairpin :whistle: . 2nd lap is a 1:12.01 with 4 bad corners :o and a crash through a sign :huh: , so you can see, if I get the corners in 2nd lap, like the corners in the 1st lap, 1:09 seems a go :)

I lost lots of speed from bad corners, which I would have "carried" through the rest of the map, making much better time. But it's something to look at and learn from :laugh:

Settings -

Steering: -1

Handling: +2

Braking: 0

Ride Height: -5

Aerodynamics: +5

Nitrous: 0

Turbo: +5

hmmm.............let me see that vidzz :D

[NFSMechMan]

I think with steering set at -1 try to pusk up the brakes to +1 or +2. It could help you stay on the road lol

[Tuokool]

NFSMechMan, I'm not sure about the steering tip, I thought it was like the brake bias in NFSU2, I will test it later tho :).

One thing I have found, thanks to some tips from another racer, is that higher handling = lower acceleration !, so, whenI had +2 handling, I didn't even get into 6th gear on Diamond, but with 0 get into 6th gear, and with -1 get into 6th quite early.

But the car slides more, as you'd expect. I think 0 seems like a good comprimise between grip and speed, but again, need to test...

Also, not sure if it matters, but if you make a new elise, and just don't install any Nitrous, but all other Ultimate parts then it won't be an option to use NO2, but once it's installed, you can't remove it.

'Tuokool' nice driving on u'r 2nd vid. :) are u playing Diamond right now ? what's the score ?

[Tuokool]

Thanks man. I was pretty sleepy yesterday again, hard to race like that. There is a big thread going at world record forums about WCG, http://wrecord.com/forum/index.php?showforum=7 , and also from this thread there is a link to a site with some videos for different tracks. 4 of the 5 WCG tracks are there, but 3 of those four are with BMW, but you can see the drive lines he takes. The 4th video is 5 laps of HH with the Lotus Elise :D , 1:18 1st lap, then all 1:11-1:12 laps :D, shows some good lines to take I think.

I am pretty much tryin to get used to driving with handling at 0 which handles very different to how I have been driving, so I sort of am behind more than I was, but the car does accelerate quicker, and at 0 the car doesn't slide "too" much.

I haven't done any good times yet, but I feel like I will after more prac :rofl:

Yea, 1st lap bay bridge in vid is decent lap.

to save time here is a link to those videos from the thread http://holance.googlepages.com/needforspeedmostwanted , but be aware these d/ls might be VERY slow, I had 2-3 KB/s d/ls when my local d/ls are up to over 1MB/s LOL, they are in the Circuit section ;)

[Tuokool]

Anyone watched the HH video from the 2nd link in my last post? It's the only WCG track done with the Elise, and these are the sort of times the top racers are doing atm.

1:18 1st lap, 1:11 pretty much the rest of them. Thing is, in the video, he is 282 km/hr @ 15 seconds with a rather wide drive line by the 1st tollbooth :o I am trying to get somewhere near this, and I can get the car to go a bit quicker, but it is taking me longer to get there :unsure: , and with handling and aero down too low the 1st "tough" corner he takes at near 300 km/h, which seems impossible with handling and aero too low.

So, atm, I am tring to get a good tune, the topic of this thread...

Also, a question for anyone reading, what are the best revs to get a perfect start from? Is it low, near 5000 rpm, or up higher, near 7000 rpm ? Or somewhere in between? Also, is it better to have the revs rising or falling ?

These things seem to make a difference, but where is the info for it all?

[Tuokool]

Mistake in my last post, he is actually there @ 16 seconds, oopsy, it was the compression on video, looked like 15, so now I think, hahah, I can try some stuff :D

[The One!]

'Tuokool' u can do it. :D my best is 1:13.xx on HH using a normal keyboard.

[Tuokool]

Man, Australia dropped NFSMW for WCG, so I don't think I will be playing much, as all I was playing for was WCG. I hope you do well 'TheOne', your times are decent already.
