Heck I should try that because the Bentley over rotates at spa and I keep loosing it and then go and change the wromg things. I'll look out for that video

Awesome, thank you!

I wish I knew this much :)

thank you

the problem with setups for console is that you can't use files, so someone has to go through the process of making screenshot, uploading and providing them or build a file interpreter that reads out the values which is tricky cause each car is different in that regard... just a lot of work for a potentially small customer base unfortunately

@@SimracingPopometer Thanks man! Appreciate your time immensely! I understand the inability to import specific files. However my fingers are crossed that somebody will eventually share setups via vids as they do them. I do notice that there is a fantastic amount of knowledge freely shared from many ACC (pc) racers, and I am studying everything i can find. Who knows maybe I'll be the one to make a set up vid for that freekin pesky 488 evo..... Gratitude sir.

@@everythingNotHere if you grab a setup from our discord or the popometer website with your laptop, you can open the file with a text editor. all things in there are numbers of clicks from the left of the sliders in the game. but it's probably easy to get confused. I'll have a think if we add screenshots to our data packs. this way at least the setup is usable and also you can see the line of the pros even though unable to compare to your own

this is aero, not weight balance - very important difference. there are not standards because each car has that indicator in an entirely different range. you cant compare this value between cars at all and the whole dynamic of the car throughout the lap has more impact on the balance as that one indicator. so no, no general standards but every car has a range where its likely going to be used, which will mostly be around the value that the aggressive setup holds

next sunday for me, British gt. Arthur and Gregor however have sprint cup on thursday

hey, sorry thats very specific. i dont know all presets of all cars and tracks by heart. often its about getting ground clearance here on bathurst. there are 3 targets: A) take the uphill section (almost entirely) flatout until the dropper. B) make the car stable into the dropper C) remain topspeed

yeah you get the suspension position that way to at least get a good estimate of what the ride height could be

the lambo super trofeos should show aero %. cars that dont show aero% dont have relevant downforce to look at ride heights from an aero perspective.

pad 4 is a used pad 1. I dont understand why this is still in the world :D dont use pad 4. ever.

@@SimracingPopometer That was my understanding, but no way to confirm it on consoles. Thank you. Regarding Pad 1, are you able to get over 2 hours out of it?

yeah, but wouldnt bother recording the whole thing again :P

helper springs are not the bump stops. can you specifiy the question? I dont wanna rewatch my video to find what you are referring to :)

@@SimracingPopometer maybe I misunderstood bumpstop. I thought if that red line wasn't on the yellow in the settings they effectively were not doing anything specifically in the rear. But I guess that is the range before they compress and influence suspension behavior.

f7

even the softest offer resistance and the resistance increases the more they are compressed. So i would say no, we cannot act like they are not there.

there's always movement as the bump stop is a flexing piece of rubber, with a stiffness you can alter

as you can see with the whole dynamic of this is that the ride height can be very low even when you have nominally set it higher in the setup - its just about when you want it low and when high

Just commenting to see the answer 👆👆

so this video is just to explain the factors and dynamics you can control with settings like spring, bump stop rate and range (not dampers). generally you could say that the wings and ride height defines the base balance and the mentioned parts define how much you want to deviate from this behavior into both directions in different driving situations. priority over wing and ride height is heavily car dependent. on some you get more impact from the wing, some get more impact from ride height, you dont generally favor one over the other. its all testing :) for the actual setup you have to consider how bumpy the track is, if you have to use kerbs or not. its very specific and every answer i write will always have shortcomings. I also don't know the final setup when I start driving on a given track/car combo - one needs to figure out what is required. The settings and the way of thinking in this video can help you get desired behavior without having to touch the ride heights when on some tracks it cannot be done. on some tracks you might want to run higher rake with less a less dynamic car, on some you will want a car with less rake but a more dynamic change of behavior. its also about what you can handle as a more dynamic car usually is more tricky to drive cause the driver controls how much he/she wants of that behavior, e.g. how deep you trail the brakes. say on spa or monza you have long straights where high rake might cost you speed. yet you can still get rake in dynamic situations on these tracks if you allow the car this movement and if you also do your part as a driver to tap into it. probably got carried away and as said this will always be insufficient info

all cars work different in that regard

i don't think i understand them well enough

F7 mate! and then fly around with arrow keys and mouse

hi, this works also in vr??

yeah you can't compare these numbers between cars

@@SimracingPopometer I just wasn't sure if it was mentioned so thought I'd say to help anyone who thinks it's a good idea to change it to a positive, because I totally didn't do that when I first started XDD I tried the Aston last night and find myself running a 3.2% front aero, I still feel some understeer so is it ok for me to keep going up? is the limit based upon my skill more than what the car can do? if that makes sense? either way I went from 2:24 to 2:20 in 2 hours using your track guide, so thanks Your videos are of great help, also great race in the BMW the other day, them mid engine cars were too good on that track XDD

simlab EVO GT1, some sparco seat, VRS wheel, HE pedals

@@SimracingPopometer how is the seat for long stints? Looking for a comfortable one but sparco’s base is like 300 euros so just wanted to see if you had a more expensive one

nah, bought a used one: "evo 2" - i guess they are just not really for long term sitting the way we use them
