I'm on a train but this is killing me. Could you guys let me know if you installed the mod in its "full" form or updated it from older installs? The "official" download was from www.ptsims.net/forum/index.php/topic,8485.0.html

The developer has moved on from that site but not before the last version was released. I know I installed from the "full" and will check after our trans-am race tonight for anything that would make it clear.

Tom, the brake patch does let it go way too high but once the car is adjusted it works. Do you need it to go under 80%?

I'd prefer for it not to go ABOVE 20% to make outbraking those pesky Canadians in Audis laughably easy 

There is a good chance that raising it above 100% will increase the braking power so that's not fair nor is such rough adjustment that gives three choices, 80, 90 or 100%.

I assume that you know how to fix it if not I can make a patch. I did a quick search for BrakePressureRange in each of the HDV files in the brake pressure patch and unless I missed one only the Audi is wrong. Needs to change from BrakePressureRange=(.80, 0.1, 21) to BrakePressureRange=(.80, 0.01, 21).

Sorry, btw, that I posted here, I should have intended to post in the series discussion, I think that I was happy to catch F1Fan07 for the server password and gravitated back to this thread because of it.

Tom pointed out an issue with the brake pressure patch that only affected the Audi cars. All other cars were able adjust brake pressure from 80%-100% in 1% increments. The Audi was 80%-280% in 10% increments. The patch linked below contains a corrected HDV file for the Audi and is mandatory to participate. I have updated the link in the Downloads & Tips thread as well. The official server has been updated.

I keep getting Error (500) when trying to get the brake pressure patch. I was able to download the track pack just fine.

Works for me.

Try this:

Maybe Dropbox is still having issues?

Thanks Dale, that link worked.

Thanks for backing us up, Dale.

I have experienced a few "car launching" spots on the GTL version of Spa were running in the next race. In the middle of Eau Rouge and in the center of the track as well as on the right hand track out curb on exit onto the long straight. The other spot I found is on the exit curb out of Blanchimont, I like this version but these are going to ruin a lot of people races.

[zedarchitect]

Did you experience it in multiple mods?

I will check those spots before Wednesday's V8 race. If we need a new version I will change it. If anyone knows of a good version I am all ears.

[zedarchitect]

Of course, after nights of looking back when planning the series I find a good current version now on another groups forum. I will run some tests tomorrow night and look for the problem areas. If you could pin point one for me so I can find them I would appreciate it. If I can replicate it we will switch versions.

Ok, I'll try to get some replay stills asap. Of course it could be set up and or car specific as well, these cars have a lot of downforce and these spots are high speed & g-load. Some good alternative's are F1RFT 2010 version or any of the F1 track pack versions for that matter depending on which final chicane revision you prefer to run.

[zedarchitect]

Thanks, Tony. I appreciate the help.

The first & last pics are at the bottom of Eau Rouge (before and then at the moment of lift off), the others are on lap 6 & 7 same spot exiting Blanchimont. I thought it was closer to exit curb but actually in the middle of the track. There is a 2011 version of this track that works very well, I believe its the one we ran in the Endurance series.

PS,

I also encountered vertical lift off further up through Eau Rouge but failed to find that replay. I am not using a special set up either, my Silverstone set is what I experienced all these problems. I think it is the mod/track combination but have not tried any other mods yet. Seems silly to waste time with this with so many polished versions of this track.
