Title: Kart Racing Pro beta8
Post by: PiBoSo on March 21, 2013, 06:44:24 PM
Kart Racing Pro beta8 released: http://www.kartracing-pro.com/?page=news

A clean install is strongly recommended.

Note: replays are not compatible with previous versions

No mini, sorry. It will take more time to finish it, and it seemed a good idea to avoid further delay.

i already installed and tested:
good:
rain
physiks but only steering

bad:
no mini
you have to turn your graphics so much down to play it. normally i can play it on max. graphic settings but now i have to turn down a few graphics :( for me thats the most bad point in b8.

How about starting a torrent for the download?  I could even start one once my download is complete, and if it's not corrupted.  I'm pretty sure lots of KRP players would be willing to help seed.

Creating a magnet link is giving me some issues.  I don't have any where to host the file, so I've emailed PiBoSo directly (to the support email address) with the .torrent file.  Hopefully he can host it and link it for those who wish to download via torrent.

I'll keep my available upstream bandwidth at 1.0 megabits/sec (128 KB/sec) for the next 24 hours (0000 GMT on Saturday/1600 PDT [Vancouver] on Friday).  Please keep seeding once it is done.  Also for those who already have the file, please help out... place it in the root of your Torrent Downloads folder (not in a folder of it's own, not renamed, not in a zip\rar, etc.) and then open the torrent (once available)... it will confirm your file matches and then will let you immediately start to seed.

Just had a rip around the new track in the KF3.  Track looks really nice.  Kart feels really nice.  Noticed a little more head movement when going around corners, kind of nice.  Keep up the good work.

Title: Re: Kart Racing Pro beta8
Post by: DjFIL on March 22, 2013, 03:33:11 AM
Hopefully it will pick up as we get more seeders.  I see it listed as 6 peers currently.  I've confirmed my bandwidth and firewall settings, hopefully it will pick up.  As you may know, torrents are only as powerful as the size of the swarm.

On a side note about Beta 8.  I'm noticing that none of my 3rd party tracks (copied the 'tracks' folder from my beta 7 install, before I wiped the folder clear) will load.  They all give the message "data mismatch" and then won't move forward unless I cancel the load.  All standard (PiBoSo) tracks are working fine.  Do I need to redownload them?  Is there a specific file in each folder (records, ghost file, etc) I need to delete first?  Is it a server thing?

I just tried to delete the 'trainer' and 'replay' files from the \My Documents\PiBoSo\Kart Racing Pro\ folder, including the ones in the \Profiles\My Profile\ section.  I also deleted the records.ini file.  No change.  :(

Hrmm.  I only copied my tracks folder... nothing else.  I guess I might have to delete them (or back them up) and try fresh downloads.

I've created a thread in the "support" section about my "data mismatch" on majority of my 3rd party tracks.  Even after a full wipe (including all my settings, etc) of KRP, only select 3rd-party tracks are able to load.  Any help would be appreciated.

tested a few laps.... i feel wierd physics, i feel more grip but also it is understeery. If i drive through a curve it understeer but a bit later it suddenly oversteer so massive and fast, then i try to countersteer and it is also so sensitive, it feels like maximum grip on front and like ice on rear axle then. same at full braking, turn the wheel while full braking 1mm and u spin like a maniac. First impressions, more later...
Someone else this problems?

I agree with this too, at first I tout it was my wheel being weird but I realised the steering was much more "positive"in the fact that you don't have to move the wheel as much but when you do full lock the rear lifts up quite a lot I noticed quite different from beta 7

Could you also please report if changing ackermann in garage improves the handling?
Title: Re: Kart Racing Pro beta8
Post by: Serega on March 22, 2013, 05:16:54 PM
in general there is a decrease of coupling the rear wheels ... on acceleration no longer works so famously cut gas to the floor ... and grip in fast corners can suddenly gap, but I do not know how much it's realistic, because not driven on karts
Title: Re: Kart Racing Pro beta8
Post by: Aritz on March 22, 2013, 05:29:41 PM
There is still room for improvements but it has to be said: It is way better than before :)

I've tested KF3 with MAX ackerman and after a few laps for heating and with a little rubber on track (5laps not more), the kart handles very good with a LOT less steerwheel turn.

I think that optimization has been improved a lot, isn't it? I've got a good computer, so my FPS have been high always, but now they are even higher :)

There are "buts" though:

-Kerbs are a big problem, you cannot touch them... Specially in Zuera, where the shape of the kerb is very bumpy and the kart goes to the sky or the hell.

-KZ1 can be shifted without lift off if you wait until the max RPM

-I would like more rear controllable slides at fast speed. I mean, fast curves should be done with a long slight rear and easy to mantain drift.

Anyway, good patch!

- FFB: I would like to feel more "vibrations" during turns, now is only a centering spring equal in strainght both turn, do you have same feeling or I have a wrong setup of wheel?

Please report if there are rendering errors.

I've render the track with Max 2010 with no problems today. Is the 2012 exporter working? I've seen the file data and it is 2012, so no changes/not working?

Any expected release data for the new exporter with the darkened opacity channel working?

I want to finish the track as soon as possible :) thx

i used now: ackerman= min, steer ratio= max and caster 12 it feels much better now. Almost 1 sec faster but if the klart start drifting still very difficult to handle.

Less caster helps a lot to fix that.

in the profiler of G25 120 0 0 0 900, n the game 900 150 power
I drove only rented kart and there was a lot of vibrations during turning, here there are any, do you fell the same? what you think about?
maybe would it be good to put some fake vibrations during turns? other sims do for sure

Ever since Beta 7 I've been loving the curbs, but I find it hard to hit them without flipping in this beta, has anyone else found it like that? Love the steering though, when set up correctly it feels a lot like a real kart.

Post by: McBidouille on March 23, 2013, 02:04:42 AM
Hi everybody,

It seems that there's a lot of things to say about B8 with this topic.
A really good improvement concerning the physics to my mind.
Karts are so much forgivable and braking is no more a problem (for me).
So we can push the kart further on the track while being able to make mistakes. We have now a good compromise between these facts. In any case, too many risks took have always brought a driver off the track. ;D
Of course, the feelings will never be perfect, and things could always be better.
Two negative point I can give that are not bad but that can be better :
1- Balance on the chassis that could give us more stability entering and leaving the curves. (Mass transfer?)

I report though an error.
I just drove at essay on a F100 and in straights, reaching the maximum rpm value at full speed result in an engine overheat at each time :o
Is it normal?
I tested it with  the radiator cover at 35% but this has never change anything.

I've noticed (for the first time) that I've had to make gear setup changes so I don't keep hitting the RPM limiter (on multiple tracks).  Haven't noticed an overheat issue yet, maybe I never run long enough stints.

what about tire pressure? with shifter 0.4 bar or 1 bar it`s the same problem.. 3 laps and 120 degrees so undrivable.

The problem is that the KZ1 stresses the rear tyres much more than the other karts. It weights more, too.
In real life, are there dedicated tyres for the shifters?

In fact they use softer tyres usually, they must be faster than kf1 :D

Post by: GhostriderPl on March 23, 2013, 12:29:51 PM
In kZ1 we use the same tires like the other classes like KF1.

Only when the tires are free (World Championships for example) we use the softest.

Tyre temp is quite high but what it is too high is the wear... Those tyres should last at least 2 races of 20 laps or even more easily.

By the way,  wsk has its next race on Zuera if I am not wrong, I can ask a friend about tyre temps and wear

If I remember my experience, the ideal temperature to have a fast kart is 70°C.
I didn't have this tyre problem while driving the KZ1 class.
Also my pressure is always about 0.65-0.7 bar. And it is important after a run to use the asymetric setting to regulate all the tyres to the same pressure as there is different forces practiced on it.

Post by: Diddy4957 on March 23, 2013, 07:53:00 PM
I dont know about KF1, but KF3 tires round zuera are used in CIK for 4 heats, same as WSK, and you get 6 tires for that because at the end of 3 heats the outside tyres begin to ware, and overheat easily as the track is very fast, with long corners. Then a new set for the pre final and final, which was about 30 round Zuera, in total, or 38 at any other track with a shorter lap time. By the end of the final the outside tires do begin to overheat and produce less grip, although they are still consistent.
(dont have exact temperature data)

I'll keep my available upstream bandwidth at 1.0 megabits/sec (128 KB/sec) for the next 24 hours (0000 GMT on Saturday/1600 PDT [Vancouver] on Friday).  Please keep seeding once it is done.  Also for those who already have the file, please help out... place it in the root of your Torrent Downloads folder (not in a folder of it's own, not renamed, not in a zip\rar, etc.) and then open the torrent (once available)... it will confirm your file matches and then will let you immediately start to seed.

Post by: Nathan Dunnett on March 24, 2013, 01:07:40 PM
FFB feels pretty good to me using G27, a little more feel from the pneumatic trail would be good but it feels fairly accurate to me. You guys must realise that karts have lots of scrub radius and heaps of caster compared to most cars, most of the feedback you get in real life is from the mechanical trail rather than the tyres, hence why it feels like it has a centering spring.

Post by: Kimzu97 on March 24, 2013, 02:09:21 PM
You have definitely gone to the right direction with beta8!

The physics changes are really good, especially the steering physics. It's now direct and fast but still precise. Much more realistic. But lock up braking is still a bit too hard to control and the kart flips easily when driving over the kerbs. But I guess those wasn't the major issues to fix in beta8.
As expected, the multiplayer is better now. No joining lag and it's easier to have close racing. That's good!
Can't say anything about FFB as I didn't play beta7 with my new wheel. But it feels pretty good, could have more effects though.

Hopefully KRP will now get more popular! At least I can now really use KRP as a training tool!

Thank you PiBoSo for this great sim! :)

Post by: Nathan Dunnett on March 24, 2013, 02:10:10 PM
I just re-tried using max steering lock, and it feels too weak. I'm using 100% in game, then 101% strength 0% spring 0% dampening in the Logitech settings.

The karts feel great now, feels like there should be a little more grip past peak slip and it's very sensitive at high slip angles, maybe the side walls are just a tad too stiff. Definitely feels more natural than the last beta I tried (5 or 6, can't remember). I've only tested the Tonykart (does that make a difference?) KF1 at Lonato. What's a quick time? My best so far is a 43.2 but I think I can go another 0.4-0.5 quicker.
Title: Re: Kart Racing Pro beta8
Post by: Nathan Dunnett on March 24, 2013, 02:11:06 PM
Also the underside of the kart has way too much friction when bottoming out, which makes low ride heights very hard to use.

What you're feeling is the heavy mechanical trail due to high scrub radius, caster and kingpin inclination. It's not centering spring, it's like that in real life.

well, here there are real kart drivers to judge FFB better than me, as I said before I drove only rented karts and there was so much steering vibrations during turns and after 15 minutes of race my arms where "broken", and this I don't feel in KRP, when I am turning there is only a "apparently" center spring, if I increase the power of FFB I have only a stronger centering spring.
well, real drivers, is it so also in real competition karts?

yes I have understood quite well, and yes, I dont' feel the road with my FFB settings (posted in my previous post) , it appers road is like a billiards, as Serega told also me I had a better feeling with beta7

EDIT
I tried many settings in the logitech profile, in setup with caster, in game of steering wheel, nothing, there is always the same centering force, doesn't matter what front wheels are doing, both in straight and in turns, the same centering force, I'm sorry but here it's so  :'(
Title: Re: Kart Racing Pro beta8
Post by: Aritz on March 24, 2013, 05:25:01 PM
I have a big center force, but it is not centering effect but strong caster effect. With less caster, the centering or the center force (whatever you call it) is a lot less.

So probably the solution is to reduce the caster effect to the FFB.

Private karts are mostly the same, the more caster you have, the harder the steering is. You can let it loose in straights if you are not accelerating but carefully, you may crash if you relax too much. Well, there are settings where you cannot let the wheel; if you have a big TOE OUT, steering tends to go outside, not straight

yes, less caster less centering force but i ment, if I turn, for saying, steering wheel for 2 degress I have an X force, if I turn 10 degrees I have again an X force and so on, as I said I have the feel this force is not tight to what  the front wheels are doing. I know you have a racing kart, how the steering behaves? always the same force?

- 2 new kart manufacturers
- 2 new engines
- 1 new dash
- 3 new tracks + 3 additional layouts
- 1 new helmet
- 1 new intake
- dynamic track surface

Oppolo, i think i solved the problem ^^ I decrease overall strenfth of 150 to 101 in profiler and in game. And i turn off damper effect strength (dont know help it). And i can feel grip now... What was this talk about caster? ^^

Could you please write what steering wheel settings are you using?
logitech profiler G25
150
0
0
0
900

in game
forcefeedbakc 150 (if i put 100 there is less power)

setup
toe out 7
caster 18 (if i set 8 there is less power but the feeling doesn't change, maybe tracks are too flat?)

thanks for attention

Did you enable "Wheel Rotation" in KRP -> Settings -> Input, setting it at 900?

with 100 100 here the FFB is too weak, I found this
profiler
120
0
0
20 centering spring
900
in game 115 strenght

now more or less is equal to beta7 and I can survive with this but...let's go on...when I turn those small front tyres and they grasp the tarmac near the pick of slip angle, shoudn't the steering wheel have some vibrations?

more caster is an help for turn the kart because the internal rear tyre lift better, but steering wheel becomes heavier and more difficult put horse powers on the tarmac on the exit of turn.

You don't get vibrations from your steering in real life unless something is very wrong, the vibrations all come from the engine and travel through the chassis. If we had vibration effects it would be masking the actual feedback and make it harder to drive.

i tried carb2 now and choke every 1 or 2 laps all was fine, forgot that choke and broken :) made me almost 0.2 sec faster.
Carb 0 and 1 is impossible to drive because 1 choke is not enough in a lap or it always broke on straight at hiogh rpm, but that`s good. I have to try that in different weather settings.
Till now i have to say it work really fine :)

do you use it in this way?

The driver covers the intake while he is still on the gas just as he starts to brake - if the intake is covered while the throttle is shut it doesn't have much of an effect. With the air intake covered but throttle open the engine sucks in a lot of fuel but a lot less air than at full throttle with intake wide open.

hi, i'm trying this new version 8b, and i've found a couple of thinks "new" since previous version.
when oversteering the car now tends to help you save it from spinning, so it's a bit better, but i just figure out how to drift properly..
when hitting the kerbs now is easier to roll over

i would like to have, if possible, some key assigned to set the FOV and pitch from within the game, from the cockpit view, so it's easier to set it.

the smooth option on the pedals and steering when using a wheel are supposed to be enabled or are they for button funtion assignment?

i love the new track btw

when you are in track push ESC key, from the popup menu go to settings and go where there is fov and pitch, now return on the track, and now when you press again ESC and then setting, you'll be directly in the fov and pitch menu

the smooth option is only for digital input, for expample it is important for setting the front brake of kf1 in the right pad of a steering wheel

because we have digital input, you should set smouth at around 50 60 and front brake power at around 50 60, and then use it only for brake in the straight

Yep... Something is worse in the KZ than other classes. Maybe the weight is exagerated or something, I don't know, but for example KC3 (the best behaviour for me) is a lot better to handle. In real life, the differences are not as high as here

Original message:

Por supuesto, voy a intentar explicarselo. Mi primera impresion cuando jugaba en la beta 1 es que era mucho mas real la sensacion de conducir un kart real, con el comportamiento del coche en las curvas. Un kart por naturaleza tiende a resbalar de la parte trasera, pudiendo ser corregido con contravolante, si no recuerdo mal eso justo era lo que yo sentia en la beta 1: Drifting. Pero no se quien le aconseja sobre este aspecto, por otro lado cada dia somos mas exigentes con los simuladores y usamos todo tipo de perifericos para tener mas inmersion, por ejemplo TRACK IR. Podria usted decirme si eso será posible algun dia?  Espero no molestarle y gracias por su gran trabajo.

Google translate:

...Of course, I will try to explain it. My first impression when I played in the beta 1 is that it was much more real the feeling of driving a real-kart, with the car's behavior while cornering. A kart by nature tends to slide to the rear and can be corrected with countersteering, if I remember correctly it was just what I felt in the beta 1: Drifting. But do not know who advised on this issue, on the other hand each day we are more demanding with simulators and use all kinds of peripherals to get more immersion, for example TRACK IR. Could you tell me if this will be possible one day? I hope not to bother you and thanks for your great work!!

Head rotation was made slow on purpose to avoid abusing of look-back.
A virtual mirror is not an option, but what about an arrow on the bottom of the screen that points to your nearest opponent?
Title: Re: Kart Racing Pro beta8
Post by: Leonardo Ratafia on March 31, 2013, 01:10:01 AM
i don't understand, looking back in a karting race is very important, just a fast look to keep an eye on the opponents, it's not cheating, so i don't see where this "abuse on purpose" is helping when racing.
just a bit faster full heading would be enough, arrows would blow convert it into a bit arcadish, i guess virtual mirror would aswell...
so the only way i guess it's faster looking or an option for instant looking, like in LFS.

btw, the wheel rotation wizard works very nice, i set my DFGT to 900 on purpose to see how it worked, and set the game set the rotation to 900 but in game only rotates 180 degrees. thumbs up for that.

yes, I agree, but also an instant looking is arcadish (in fact in GSC and FT it has been disable), what about a stereo sound? problems with fps?
Title: Re: Kart Racing Pro beta8
Post by: Leonardo Ratafia on March 31, 2013, 01:34:59 AM
it definitely should be faster, not instant, at least faster when looking forward, the back looking it's not bad, but it takes a lot to look forward again, that's the main problem i guess, you need to be looking forward very fast.

.......and the physics of the first beta was much better XD.........THX!

Could you please write where exactly was Beta1 physics better than Beta8 one?
Original message:

Por supuesto, voy a intentar explicarselo. Mi primera impresion cuando jugaba en la beta 1 es que era mucho mas real la sensacion de conducir un kart real, con el comportamiento del coche en las curvas. Un kart por naturaleza tiende a resbalar de la parte trasera, pudiendo ser corregido con contravolante, si no recuerdo mal eso justo era lo que yo sentia en la beta 1: Drifting. Pero no se quien le aconseja sobre este aspecto, por otro lado cada dia somos mas exigentes con los simuladores y usamos todo tipo de perifericos para tener mas inmersion, por ejemplo TRACK IR. Podria usted decirme si eso será posible algun dia?  Espero no molestarle y gracias por su gran trabajo.

Google translate:

...Of course, I will try to explain it. My first impression when I played in the beta 1 is that it was much more real the feeling of driving a real-kart, with the car's behavior while cornering. A kart by nature tends to slide to the rear and can be corrected with countersteering, if I remember correctly it was just what I felt in the beta 1: Drifting. But do not know who advised on this issue, on the other hand each day we are more demanding with simulators and use all kinds of peripherals to get more immersion, for example TRACK IR. Could you tell me if this will be possible one day? I hope not to bother you and thanks for your great work!!

After seeing more in depth tested this new version, I say that is better than previous versions, but it should be easier for countersteer correction, and more power on KZ1 .. TrackIR and support!

With the right setup the karts feel better. For the side views y would add more angle to the like a bit closer to looking over the shoulder or at least the option so people can change it to they like.
The full heading option should be faster when looking forward again, just record yourself when looking back and forward and you'll see that tou tend to watch to the front faster

could you please add a virtuar mirror option so it's better for racing? the left/right/back look it's too slow and can't race like that.

Head rotation was made slow on purpose to avoid abusing of look-back.
A virtual mirror is not an option, but what about an arrow on the bottom of the screen that points to your nearest opponent?

Piboso,for me its sounds Awesome!!!

personally I dont like arrows. I prefer to keep it as it is.
We all can hear an opponent closing by and I think the looking left, right and back are good enough.
Arrows will make the game look like arcade, not simulation as it is intended

i agree, but when you move the head 90 degrees (as it seems in the sim) don´t forget that your eyes can look further, so yes, maybe you move the head 90 but you see 135 degrees at least, i don´t see the con on doing it faster or different, you can´t race properly if you are not looking forward to the track, you won't be any faster by looking around, it just would be helpfull imo.

but  no arrows please

After several laps with KF3, I think KRP has one big problem that could explain two problems:

-When the kart do the jacking (one tyre on air), not only one tyre is on air, but the other has only 50% surface touching the asphalt (50 or 10, doesnt matter). And then the KRP's problem begins: I think tyre surface vs grip is not correctly simulated. Is like 50% less surface means 50% less grip, which is not correct at all (in karting at least) In fact, in karting less surface is even more grip! Not because less surface but because more weight in that tyre. I can't really say that the grip is increased when jacking but what I can say is that jacking doesn't increase spin probabilities :) This in KRP is not working like I expect.

-Due this grip problem the kart has a very high risk of spin when the engine pushes. Almost everytime the kart is jacking, if you push the accelerator, the kart starts spinning, even with low powered KF3! Of course this is 100 times worse with KZ. In real life to spin with a KF3 is "almost" impossible, even with KZ is not easy to do...

-And finally, the kerb grip problem could be the same issue... Once the kart loses part of the surface when you pass through a high kerb, the grip is reduced and you spin.

mmm, the question is not clear, I meant, also in real life KZ1 do 5 minutes of sighting laps and then 5 minutes of warmup?

doesnt matter what engine you drive either it be a rotax, iame, honda, yamaha etc. as-long as YOU are enjoying it and are having fun thats the only thing that counts

yes its great that people are now making engines it will bring a more personal touch to the game when you can race the kart you can actually drive on the sim with paints and airboxes you use

yes agreed , but there is no point in-forcing yourself into doing something you dont want to, i havent been racing for over 9 months because i cant get my kart up to spec on a small budget so i wont be able to keep up, but i wont enjoy it so thats the point im getting at

and piboso with betab im still getting the error message - is anyone else getting this

The 8b fix solved the Data Mismatch problem for me, but I know that there's still someone complaining about getting the same error even with the 8b installed

yeah ive done this well i even went to the length of wiping my hardrive with a new version of windows, then i put krp beta8b on and still get the same message on some servers "error"
Title: Re: Kart Racing Pro beta8
Post by: Diddy4957 on April 14, 2013, 11:02:34 PM
If you put up a list of the servers you get this problem on then other people can see if its the same servers that have the problem

i drove with f100 now, does choke work now? i used carb:2 and 3 laps with choke all was fine, after that 3 laps an no choke and on straight engine broke^^

Carburation and choke should work correctly now. Please report if you find problems.

f100, essay, air temp 20 degrees, carb 2, rpm max 19500

if I don't choke engine seize, if I choke all is ok.
instead it seems that tuck doesn't work, I used a trainer without tuck, if I tuck behind him, I don't increase my speed

the only pitty is that if using beta8b you can't race online, when you press World it says Old version, please update or sth like that, it would be nice to let people still race online with beta8.
