I was kind of planning to not do a Zakstunts track this year, maybe do some NoRH stuff instead, but I can take up the february 4 one, that's probably a good one to fill sooner rather than later.

Oh, that's what you meant. You can ignore what I said about the wheel coördinates then. They're weird in more ways then one. 

Single gear car example, post #16.

You might have to make the car lighter than realistic in order to get the acceleration you want, but weight only really interacts with the torque curve, not with cornering and such, so it won't impact the feel of the car.

Thanks @Duplode and @Daniel3D I've noticed one thing in Stressed, that the coordinates of the same wheel differ between the car models, even though they are copies of the same model. The copy was done in CarWorks.

I'll try cloning a Working car, and tweak the res file as I go alone.

The Stressed wheel coördinates are weird, but are not what's going to cause this issue. (If you want to test for that combine your graphical file with an unmodified .res from another car.) I think Duplode is correct, this is about the wheel coördinates in the .res file.

See here: https://wiki.stunts.hu/wiki/Car_parameters#Wheel_coordinates

As far as I know they can't even be properly modded using the user friendly modern editor Carworks yet, but the DOS based Car Blaster works.

I think that it should have crashed in the showroom if that was the case.

The showroom doesn't have physics. The car I discovered the roof of the world with by falling through the floor had bad wheel coördinates.

I guess that the information contained in the res file with regards to the dashboard are missing.
A quick test could be (making a backup then) copy the res file from the dashboard you borrowed and rename it to the Tesla ID you picked.
And try again.
If it works just adjust te car parameters to the Tesla and you should be fine.

An interesting option. I wouldn't expect quite this bad a crash in that case, but then again I don't think I've ever tried completely removing that information.



Edit: as for the Stressed wheel coördinates: I think it's even inconsistent between original cars, which order the coördinates for each wheel go in. It's certainly inconsistent between wheels in the same model, but there is usually order to the madness. The only thing I'm sure of is that the explanation on the wiki is wrong. I now try to stick to the same order of coördinates for every car. I don't know which car I originally got is off, but I think it was the Audi, because that served as a sort of basis for the DTM cars.

We should do a marathon event, maybe a 12 hour race, on a live stream.

Also: hi Niels! Welcome.

[edit: actually, that looks boring, will think of something else 🤔)

A cartography plug-in for instant reviewing of past races?

So it's tied for second longest now? But maybe now that Argammon has secured first place for the season?

And the results are in. They wouldn't save in opendocument format, so I attached them as a picture as well.

If these don't work for say uploading to the live races site let me know what I can do to fix it.

Final technical note: I put everyone's tunnel times at entry to the tunnel (rather than say in the middle) and reduced the penalty for a tunnel finish to 2 seconds down from the 5 I made it during the event. With the cars and the tracks on which this happened it can't possibly have saved people more time than that. I also chose not to apply a penalty for doing 4 laps and correcting it to 5 later, because it looked like the total amount of time spent driving here actually fell within the set limits.



Anyway, we have winners! O huh, look at that, it looks like I'm the greatest Stunts Rallycross Champion who ever lived*. I totally didn't fudge those numbers. Congratulations to everyone who's pleased with their own performance! Particularly to Kylie and Duplode for that amazing comparison between the GTO and the Charger on track one, and to Alan who would have won overall had I announced it as a points system, with an impressive two silvers and a gold, and also to Erik who managed to finish a five lap race in 5:50.00, very numerically pleasing, and definitely to Cas for really showing up when it's time for joker laps, scoring a bronze joker on track one, and certainly to dreadnaut for getting the bronze lap time with that blindingly fast car on the waterlogged track in race 2. And for those who weren't satisfied with their results I hope you still had fun and I wish you best luck at the next event.

*At least until someone organizes a second event in the format.



May your roads be sunny and your tires slick, signing off for one more live race,
