Setup Requests for Consoles(pictures) Post Patch 7.0

**blinkngone** · 10-09-2018, 09:56

Hey, just in case they haven't fixed the console Leaderboards for you.

1.7.1 Update. Hey, from the limited patch notes I am going to assume the fixes did not involve a new tire model so I am just going to keep this as a 7.0 thread. 02/10/18

Ok, for the GT3s the 7.0 patch is good for TT at least based on all (well ok, no one has hit the Z4 yet Edit, done a 1:46.114, 21/09/18)

the new WRs at Monza on PC. Thanks very much npocto 111.

And also the gang at SMS. This hasn't happened with any of the other patches where all the WRs at Monza are going to be a single patch so if it's indeed the last patch then it's a good one.

7.0 Soft tires. Ok, I can't run tracks, basically just Silverstone National. For the first time I can run Soft tires at this track. Very much more grip, quickly get up to pressure and you can reduce camber which will increase tire life. So much more grip in the rear tires you can dramatically reduce Power Ramp angle and increase rear ARB. Night and Day difference from the 5.0 tires and really better than 6.0 as well, just hope everyone is a little bit more happy. EDIT Ok, this only applies to the Renault R.S. 01, not the GT3 version. EDIT AGAIN(06/01/2019) Nevermind the Hard tires are better on the RS. 01.

I switched to the SOFT tires at the Daytona Tri-Oval and set new WRs for the Ferrari and C7.R. I am not going to reset all the GTEs but you get the idea.

GTO Soft tires as well.

With the new Update 1.7, apparently in some corners (in some tracks), some cars have more understeer than before (especially using 0 - 0 of Downforce), and now the consequences of not using ABS are also more noticeable . But in contrast to other tracks I have not noticed major changes. But because of this last I am not sure if it is a change in the feeling of the cars, or if there were changes in the feeling of the controls.

For now, I only have two examples with the TS040 LMP1: At Monza the TS040 have some more understeer (except at the variant Ascari) with 0 - 0 downforce, and also at Daytona Road only on the bus stop chicane. But at LeMans and Daytona Road (except at the Bus Stop Chicane) I have not noticed any change in performance.

Something additional that I have been able to notice is that the consequences in the car when locking the brakes (for exceeding the braking distance and braking time) or in the balance of the brakes are more noticeable, because in some curves (depending on the car) have more understeer or oversteer than before the last update

Ok thanks KANETAKER. I have only run the Renault R.S. 01 so far and using the Soft tires I found a lot more grip than before. I had to alter my setups which is ok. I found I could shift the brake balance much more to the rear without lock up. I'll try the GT3 version tonight. Another person(Voodoo child) mentioned he thought the tires were more like the 5.0 patch but the tires in that patch didn't work the same for me. I did find I increased the Slow Bump considerably to increase the steering response(reduce understeer). I don't run the Prototypes so I have no idea of the changes there so thanks for the information.

Hey, I tried to run the Renault RS.01 GT3. No luck at all with the Softs. My old setup was driveable but slow. My brakes appear to be barely functional, may be my pedals. Understeering badly. I upped the spring rate, increased slow front and rear still not much progress. The car doesn't want to slip laterally, which, ok, is fine if you don't want to spin out but some rear slip is good for tight corners and I haven't found it yet. Overall for me the 7.0 patch is meh. Hopefully it's just me and others will find great satisfaction with this patch. I'll try again some other time.

I am what I feared ... then there were changes in the feeling of the cars, and I really do not understand why SMS continues to make those changes that were not requested by the players, affecting mostly casual players who just have some time free to play (1 - 2 hours for day or 6 hours for week), while in the case of competitive players (more of 4 - 8 hours for day) because for them it may be easier to readjust to changes and reconfigure their setups.

So your comment is confirming in some way that there was an increase in the understeer of the cars as well as a change in the behavior of the brakes both in the pressure and in the balance? As I mentioned before, I could only notice these changes in some curves of some tracks, since in other curves there does not seem to be any problem, but maybe both factors are related, because I noticed the understeer just after using the brakes.

Hey KANETAKER. So far there have been few runs by the more experienced racers. Last patch 6.0, RWB Speeddmon91 was nice enough to make runs with nearly all the GT3s at Algarve and Nurburgring so you could easily see the tire improvements from the 5.0 patch. As f today he has only made limited runs with the GT3s so I can't tell yet. For myself I have too many physical and computer issues to deal with atm so I am not going to be able to offer much direction for others. It could be just me, for me the patch is difficult to manage. I don't enjoy being slower.

Maybe in the next few days the good guys will shine some light on the 7.0 patch with multiple tracks and cars with the GT3s.

I've been testing more cars. In my case some cars have become less complicated to handle than before the update. Others, on the other hand, only require slight modifications in the settings or in the driving style so as not to lose the train (in some cases I could improve some hundredths while in others I lost up to half a second).

Ok, good to know. Not much activity in TT with the new patch. I think I will wait for a while before I make any more attempts myself. From the limited testing I already did I turned my left ankle purple so I will wait to see if it's worth more damage. I assume everyone is happy though because otherwise there would be complaints so all is good and I am glad you are satisfied as well.

Back in Patch 5.0 you had other problems and this was somewhat identified as an issue with people who didn't have the best computer specs for the minimum game requirements. Have you had any issues similar to patch 5.0?
