Good points. However, I wouldn't recommend adding the hand choke gesture unless it actually was functional. I don't want to just choke it to look cool. And I'm pretty sure there's a lot of technical data that has to be integrated to full simulate the engine and the actual detonation of the fuel and heat relationships to make it realistic when choking. Unless you just make choking the engine drop the temp a few degrees.  :P But without proper carb tuning, choking the engine seems pretty useless since we can't run it extra lean anyway.

I read on Kart Sim's (sorry for bringing it up Piboso!) blog about how they fully modeled the engine to almost 100% realism so you'll be able to adjust the carb and see results in your exhaust gas temperature as you would in real life. Pretty impressive stuff. They've got a team working on their sim though, where Pib has just himself. Also their sim isn't released yet and has been in development for years so who knows what is actually going on there.

-     fuel lines in cockpit view.

has real driver it?

-     exhaust smoke at low rpm loads (GT5) by EVO1087

i don't care so much and it is only with cold engine, endeed it require more grafichal power

-     driver tuck gesture. (Club Kart by Sega) by EVO1087

what is "tuck"? google translator can't help me, anyway we have already 4 gesture, i use only 1

-     hand choke gesture(Super 1 Karting) to prevent engine sieze at high temperatures. by EVO1087

is it used also in modern kart?

-     make it harder to look back. Players take advantage of this. looks funny in replays,

      remove look back and make it faster and more angle using the heading buttons.   by EVO1087

infact eyes are turned of 180

-     tire deformation (LFS) and axle flex opposed to hubs absorbing force.  by Airesisor

better not to show axel moving inside the wheels

-     tire pressure change should be shown in the garage after driving by Alphafloor

yes

-     engine temperture more realistic "rise up to 150° but nothing special happened!" by Alphafloor



-     radiotor cover ups for cold days to allow enigne to run at optimum temperature by Alphafloor

i thought there is a controller temperature

-     A realistic Race day with the same tires for qualifiying and race by Artiz

yes

-     winner acknowledgment  by Artiz 

after the race there are results, there you can see who won

........................................

- no automatic clutch in ks1 when it is below a certain speed

- more power in the ks1 brakes

- less dirt on the visor

- sound of the error during changing gear on ks1 louder

mmm, anyway there is something strange in this situation:
engine stopped+clutch not pulled+1st or 2nd gear in - the kart goes down the hill

i tested just now, maybe there is too less brake engine, because as soon as i pull the clutch, the kart take more speed, so you are right, it is not the clutch

Even with automatic idle on all engines should be turned off after spawning, so that there is still a need of the electric starter at the KC1/3 classes.
It would be best if this was an additional option, newbies would maybe have problems to start the engine then, if they don't know about the starter button. (Or a note would do it aswell)

For the KS 1 :
I would like to be able to set the warm-up lap time, because for the current tracks, 5 minutes is too long, it ends up in a 1 min lap then 4 mins of waiting on the grid.
Or, a different logic that would stop the warm-up timing when all drivers are stopped in their grid positions, and launch the start lights.

Two races format for a GP with one prefinal and one final.
Points as in WSK Euro Series for both races or something like that. It would be really cool to have the points classification after the two races.
And some smoke exiting from the exhaust at different rpm range!

Post by: Scott W on June 14, 2011, 07:12:57 AM
In the first post, you saying about taking look back away. Why? its part of every race it always happens...

the only thing i would suggest about it is being able to map which way the head turns when you press it. weather you have to buttongs assigned : 1 button - look back right (turns the head right) the 2nd button turns the head left.
OR: map it with the track when making the track or whatever you do so that when coming up to a right hand corner and you press back, the computer or game reads the right hand corner and turns the head right, instead of the usual left - that is the part that looks funny....drivers going into right hand corners while pressing look back and the head is turning left. LOL.

Also, im not sure if its possible, but is there away to make the recommended playing system requirements lower? my pc has everything well exceeeding the recomended seettings EXCEPT the graphics card, so the game lags unbearably. only thing stopping me from purchasing this game atm.

Great job so far.

I think we can disable look back and start using the heading buttons (look left and look right more realistically)  right now i dont use them at all except when pitting out.  For system requiremenets try lower resoltions and bit depth.  everything else low too.

Everything is on low..but with the bit depth, what is that all about? sorry for bringing this up in here..im on 32 bit Win7 if that helps, and my screen reso is 1366 x 768 (which it is currently set to in game)

Because of this lag i am not able to see what the game is realy like. so desperate to get these issues sorted.

My current specs are
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit
Processor: Pentium (R) Dual-Core CPU      2.2GHz (2 CPUs)
RAM: not sure about this, but in DX Diag under System info byt he heading :Memory, it has 3072MB RAM
Video Card: Mobile Intel (R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family
Direct X Version: DirectX 11

So looking at those I am lead to believe that the video card is the only thing holding me back....

you have to set your bit depth (range of displayed colors) to 16 and resolution lower to something you can tolerate where there is no lag. yes graphics will suffer butt game play will be smoother.  Is it's a laptop or desktop?

Laptop, which I know is not the best for playing games - but it runs rfactor on full detail DX9 no sweat at all, so seems strange it plays up with this game.

Currently looking into a desktop that WILL run this and set up a simulator.

-    engines are on when driver goes to track if automatic idle is on.  Ability to start and stop the engine should sill be availaible  by Racehard

I think you got me wrong, I meant the engines should have to be started first after going to track. At the moment with automatic idle turned on, the kc1/3 engines are already turned on when the driver goes to the track, which is kind of sad, because then there is no need of the electric starter anymore.
The ability to start and stop the kc1/3 engine anywhere on track would be nice too.


+1 for the tuck gesture (but from onboard view the field of view has to change aswell and it has to be a disadvantage if you look down and can hardly see the track ahead anymore (besides the advantage of less air resistance) otherwise all drivers will permanently tuck and that might look quite silly).

+1 for hand choke

+1 fuel lines in cockpit view

+1 make it harder to look back (not 180 degrees, it should be more over your shoulder)

+1 for radiator cover (do they change the position of that in real life during a run, if so that would be another nice animation)

+1 More grip on racing line opposite in wet by oppolo

+1 going off track has effect on tire grip not just visual (isn't this already implemented, or does this only take place in my head?)

+1 Improved steering wheel template that allows multi color wheels and centers

And another wish of mine would be a dynamic racing line in both dry and wet conditions, which evolves throughout a session (a drying up track in the wet and in the dry a track which evolves from a "green" track into a "rubbered in" track), probably a nightmare to implement, but definitely something really great. If this was even supported by a visual experience my dreams would have come true.

As a last point a question to PiBoSo, are there already any plans for an ICA 100 cc engine?
If not that would probably be on top spot, of my wishlist for the final release :D
Thanks in advance.
Title: Re: Realism Suggestions List. post yours too. and vote for favorite.
Post by: Aritz on June 15, 2011, 07:53:03 PM
+1 to the dynamic racing line

And like opolo said, in wet conditions this rubbered racing line has to have less grip than the rest of the track. +1 to opolo

I couldn't find this other suggestion:

Less grip on wet. Don't you feel that you drive more easy and faster than the real world in wet?

+1 on that, the overall grip level in the wet is way too high at the moment.
Take a look at this vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rF7w1GV-ms
Just looks extreme slippery, and that's definitely what it is NOT like in krp at the moment.

Another thing which should be corrected in a future release, in my opinion is the gravel and how it behaves, when you run over it.
I mean I don't have any experience with that at all, but i don't think that the gravel would stop you that suddenly if you go through it at high speeds.
How do you think about that? Anybody ever driven his kart off track into gravel?

Post by: alphafloor on June 16, 2011, 09:53:31 PM
+1 for less grip on wet.

Also, another idea: evolving weather.

For example, instead of knowing that it will be for sure a full race on the dry or wet, just knowing what will be the weather at the start of the race.  Then the weather could change during the race, for example it starts to rain after a few laps, etc.

I think that would make racing much more realistic and more enjoyable because we will have to adapt to the new track conditions as we have to do for a real race.

It would be nice also to have engine failures if you don't warm up the engine correctly.
But for doing this it would be necessary to start the engine from zero and warming up a little in boxes and on the track.
The engine could have a failure even with low temperatures, not only when it's very hot.

Interesting. Maybe the warming up in boxes is unnecessary but on the track, the first two laps (in cold days) have to be done slowly.

Radiator Tape Option. Can put tape on before race and remove it throughout the race. Also the ability to cover the radiator down the straight to gain heat/create more speed. Would also like to see a kart editor so we could add any class combination/body kits that we wanted, ex: Yamaha, ICA, TaG, 4 stroke/Freeline, Unico, Breadbox

Post by: Aritz on July 07, 2011, 02:49:04 PM
I have an important suggestion for the KS1:

I feel the engine very powerfull in all range of RPM. I mean the KZ engines are not elastic at all! Their torque curve is very narrow:

From 3000 to 8000 the torque should be near to 0
From 8000 to 9000, the engine starts
From 9000 to 15000 should be like a kick in the ass multiplied by 5
After 15000,  the engine should be dead again, we should feel the need of the shifting ;)

Now we have a lot of power even using very high gears. In real world, if you do a mistake with the shifter, you are dead! 2 or 3 drivers will overtake you! And this is not the only problem, I feel very hard to drive in close turns, it is very easy to oversteer because of the massive power at low gears

Sorry for my english by the way :)

I have an important suggestion for the KS1:

I feel the engine very powerfull in all range of RPM. I mean the KZ engines are not elastic at all! Their torque curve is very narrow:

From 3000 to 8000 the torque should be near to 0
From 8000 to 9000, the engine starts
From 9000 to 15000 should be like a kick in the ass multiplied by 5
After 15000,  the engine should be dead again, we should feel the need of the shifting ;)

Now we have a lot of power even using very high gears. In real world, if you do a mistake with the shifter, you are dead! 2 or 3 drivers will overtake you! And this is not the only problem, I feel very hard to drive in close turns, it is very easy to oversteer because of the massive power at low gears

Sorry for my english by the way :)

The KS1 engine curve is already similar to what you suggest. Maybe the problem is the lack of G forces?

I don't think so, I tested the response of the engine with low RPM and it has de power enough to accelerate the kart. In my real experience, it is no like this, the kart wouldn't do that...

Maybe this can help, there were seconds until the engine pushed, and it was the second gear!

My vote for "Real world referenced measurements for trackwidth not just + or - and toe out instead of toe in by Boris Malinov". It's indeed quite confusing to add +3 for rear trackwidth as it should be indicated in millimeters (something like 1350-1400mm).

I don't know really but I didn't see that before.

I have one more suggestion, this one more modder than physic:

More types of surfaces for tracks. Now we have asphalts, sand, soil, grass and concrete. What about gravel? With very low grip and white dust flying when pass through it, but not like the sand, where you get stuck instead of loose control (I tried it in Villarcayo track and it didn't work) Soil is quite similar but maybe too much grip on it in my opinion.

I have a small idea for the Mychron. When you drive a lap you can't see the difference of sector times between the fastest lap and the lap you are currently driving. It'll be great if you can see it.

This is what I mean when you finish a sector. You should see this instead of the whole lap you last lap time.


You can see that after the first and second sector. When you cross the finish line it is the same as it is now.

I hope the idea is clear.

When it's the best split it says -x.xx instead of +x.xx. And it doesn't have to be the best split. It gives how much faster/slower you are then that split of your fastest lap. I don't know if it's possible to disable, but I think it is.

Anoter suggestion, not about the realism but about the interface of the game: an easier way to make a poll and an easier way to answer it.

Because at the moment it seems I am the only one who knows how to start a poll, and nobody knows how to reply so it's quite useless as it is.

Other suggestion: not being disqualified for going too SLOW on the formation lap.

At the moment it's quite annoying because if someone in front of you makes a mistake, you can be disqualified if you slow down too much to avoid the collision.

Presently the speed range is 20-59 kph during formation lap, I think 0-59 kph would be more relevant.

so in my opinion people have to improve thear skill in rolling start, also in offline, and not to be krp make compromises for people that are not able to do one lap or two at a speed around 50 km-h without a crash, if they crash in this situation how in in the race?

Hey piboso, is there a way that you can like link the tyres/wheels with the chassis?, because it actually looks like they move independently from the chassis..
Title: Re: Realism Suggestions List. post yours too. and vote for favorite.
Post by: EVO on September 09, 2011, 09:52:33 AM
they do.  The physics engine and graphics engine appear linked.  If the chassis could be appear rigid and still produce the phiysics...  It is very difficult to create chassis flex and tire force absorbtion deflection in a video game.  Maybe if the rear axle flexed with the rear wheels and the front tires and tie rods were hard mounted to the chassis becuase they are the most noticalbe when playing the game. Maybe chassis vibration

imgoing to try this

"Since Beta2 it is possible to adjust g-forces effect on the on-board camera, but it's not easy to do.

If I replace my misc.pkz with the downloaded version from evo, I get some strange effects.

- The background of the welcome screen is completely black, no gray at the lower half of the screen.

- The framerate counter (showfps=1 in Profile.ini) is completely gray, no white numbers

- No visible changes while driving



If I go the way PiBoSo proposed it works and you see the difference while driving.

- But try to drive on a bumpy track like Goldenport and you see that the values are too high for those tracks. The kart seems to jump.

For the moment I'm back to the original values.

Goldenport is a very nicely done track.  Is it a kart track though? it seems very wide, with long straights and too rough for a kart. I did this becuase the majoirty of the tracks you dont get the knock in the kidneys you would if you hit a curb in a actual kart.

there is something else that bugs me.  the lat_factor gives the sense of sliding in the seat so i think the original value or near to it is best.

I would like more info on the setup area. Some good driver should do the text and Piboso should add those text lines on the setup screen. When you move the cursor to tyre pressure, the info text could appair and you would know how the pressure works. Is not easy to setup a kart, but this little texts could help the KRP players who don't master the kart adjustment.

the tooltip feature.  Someone needs to step up to the plate.  I nominate Schwoni. most the fastest guys speak different languages so even better.  I cant remember if KRP tooltip feature is hovering activated or right click activated.  Hovering is annoying.  right click would be much better.

Racehard thanks for voting you 've made some postive changes to the list.
ICA would be awesome.  Engines would screem to 20,000 RPM and blow up. No rev limits.

Remember how angry the karting world was when they started the more durable KF,KZ categories?
ICA would add an engine managemnt aspect to the game and require driver smoothness or your dead coming out of the corners.

Racehard also try the view.cfg i edited, all the bumps are emphasized.

So we can have a rainning practice, drying qualify and cloudy race?

If yes, I would suggest bigger chance of rainning. If I am not wrong, these are the probabilities:

[weather]
cloudy_prob = 0.2
rainy_prob = 0.1

Too low :P

Great update on the list evo.

I'd like to wish the following once more, but I think I have to make it more precise.
Currently when I go to the track and I have set the idle settings to 20 and higher (really love this new setting on beta 4, well done PiBoSo) the engine is on right away from the first moment on track, but why?, the idle setting shouldn't have an effect on the need to start the engine first. Wouldn't it be nice if you would have to start the engine by using the starter button, no matter what idle setting. How about automatic Idle on would make/leave it like it is right now?


*          engines off at first when you goto to track player must start engine for auto idle to take affecto.
               Ability to start and stop the engine should sill be availaible after that  by Racehard

Sorry Aritz i see letters backwards sometimes.  I think if dynamic track surface is possible so must be dynamic weather.  Racehard i totally agree starting the engine by pushing the button is a must. Its the coolest feature of the new generation of kart engines. That and the powervalve

does anyone know if power valves are adjustable? Or are they regulated.  I know nothing about KF engines.  I know the rotax has adjustalbe ones.

More suggestions:

-I've watching how the tyres wear (wear out?) and the front tyres are like they have to, but rear tyres wear more (a lot more) from outside and less from inside. That is wrong, axle flexibility gives quite camber to them and they should wear like the front tyres. Not so much, but more from inside than outside.

Front tyre, very "bad" wear as usual:



Rear tyre, you can see almost new outside and the same wave effect inside:

do rear really wear the inside it makes almost no sense to me since the rear of the kart goes in the air at times at each end meaning the outside of the tire is being pushed hard into the track. I think if you have inside wear on the rear you either flipped the tire to preserve it or your setup is all wrong. in real life at least.

-Despite of the big step of beta4, the kart is "understeery" yet. It forces you to use big caster and then, rear is very extreme. In this video, you can see the two advantages of better front grip; you move the steering wheel a few to do the turn and then, you countersteer with no fear because the rear is easyli controllable:

I agree to Aritz' suggestions, you have some good ideas.


Ist it possible to create more visual stages of  tire wear, so when you really really abuse the tires there should be at least a last/other visual stages which signal you, that you should change your tires.
Same with wet tires, after a few laps they look like broken in, which is great but they than stop to evolve visually, but I can imagine if you run very long in semi conditions and until dry you can easily destroy the tire completely, this case is quite likely now in beta 4 with dynamic track surface. To have the wear more visualized with more stages of use would be another amazing eye candy  :D

I'll do it :)
Some adjustments are difficult to copy, they are not as precise in real karts, I will do my best :P

Camber/caster are not calibrated precisely like in KRP, we use a very simple system; the axle of the steering is excentrically attached to the chassis and we simply move it to adjust both caster and camber (they are not different adjusts at all).



Seat is quite similar, but we use (in my area at least) distance from the ground for vertical setup and distance from the front bar of the chassis (67cm for example)

For me, increasing front track width is the first and most important thing to do. Otherwise the kart is oversterring and the rear hard to control. However, i feel it got a lot better since beta 4. I also drive quite high front width on real shifter.

I think this could be very usefull for Piboso :) you did great Evo!

After the reading, I have my own suggestions:

seat position should use the weight distribution data instead of -6 to 6 :)

we need hubs, they are very usefull to stiff or to soft the axle

Now I understand what is crash bar, it is bumper, isn´t it?

This afternoon I am going to test some tips and we will talk after. Yesterday I found some strange behaviors using my own knowledge

Title: Re: Realism Suggestions List. post yours too. and vote for favorite.
Post by: EVO on November 03, 2011, 02:40:27 PM
yes hubs! and tony kart has the best line of hubs and rims. magnesium. 

is there a difference between chassis.  I swear i noticed in beta 3 but i learned their is not a difference in the dynamics. it should be slight but driver preference

the setup options the more simulator it will become.

we already have so many its awesome.

the other day Schwoni told me to stagger tire pressure and it made a difference.  I did the same at his fun bueren track

In addition to have realistic values, please give special attention to seat position, even experimenting with "extreme" values, to find a weight balance that feels natural on dry track.

Yesterday I tried to start with a standard setup or at least, with the setup I consider standard. I am not an expert and I did my best. One of the bigger problems I found were Lonato's close turns. No matter which setup I chose, I was not able to do them properly. I think one of the problems may be the traction. KS1 is, in my opinion, quite exagerated. I feel its engine power curve too "flexible" yet (this is a spanish way of talking, sorry) The engine pushes too much from very low RPM. Other KZ drivers should give their opinion, perhaps I am wrong as many other times :)
Fast turns of Essay are very amazing to take (do?), but I can't find the point on slow turns. Like you say, we should try everything, even extreme values, but there are a lot of combinations in the setup, so it is a big job to do :)

Other problem was tyre temp. I used KC3 and with 20º air, I was not able to rise the tyre temp more than 50º. Here I can't really talk, I never knew real tyre temps... But with 20º, tyres are perfect in 1 or 2 laps and they are very hot if you touch them  ;D

I like a lot the driving after removing front bar, loosing all the front and with hard axle, putting all the rear bars and tighting all rear. Now I can exit from the turns with the steering wheel like it should be, completely straight. Karts are oversteered machines :D

So, my suggestion for a standard setup is softer front, harder rear and -5 seat horizontal position (forward) and +5 vertical. Then we could adjust the kart from this standard.

This is the most important thing that krp needs to be the best sim..

1) Kart Racing Pro simulates chassis flex with several interconnected rods, each one with a different properties.
2) Tires in the physics deform a lot: laterally, longitudinally and vertically, realistically reacting to and generating forces.
3) What you see on track and during replays is just an approximation of the physics, so tires move independently from the solid chassis, and tires just sink into the ground.
4) It would be possible to better match graphics and physics working on models, code and at the expense of some performance. Would it be worth it?
5) Please don't over-think the world. Just try to enjoy it  :)

- add a unit (mm?) for camber
- add the ability to change rims (different widths, different shape, aluminium vs mag, etc.)
- add the ability to change hub length
- add more axles, ie. extra soft, different brands (an OTK axle will behave differently to a CRG axle), etc.
- add the option to tighten/loosen the floor pan

Also I was thinking for the seat position, let us change the angle and maybe make a screen to show the other dimensions of the position? Like how far the top lip is from the axle in mm, distance from the bottom of the seat to the bottom of the chassis rails, front of the seat to the front bar on the chassis, or other measurements you would use to position a seat in real life.

Some more:

-Dirty tyres MUST clean quickly! 20-30 meters should be enough I think. And with wet asphalt, 5 meters should be enough, don't forget that water cleans the tyres ;)

-When the WET or DRY tyres are pre-selected in garage's up section (DRY Qualify, DRY race, WET qualify, WET race) the game preselects DRY tyres if the day is sunny or cloudy. But if the day is sunny but the aspalt is WET, dry tyres are pre-selected aswell and maybe it is not the best default choice, don't you think? The problem will be how the game knows which tyre is better for such conditions... A long race will need dry tyres, the asphalt should dry after few laps but short race will need wet tyres...

how do you feel about the cold tire grip? I think its pretty good. It usually takes me about one lap to get my tires up to temp at my track (real life).  without forcing it.  Also the first turn i make cold is scary becasue their is no grip almost like on ice so i understeer aalllloootttt.  Then when i press the throttle it rotates around sometimes I can pull of a sweet slide but after the tires heat up its really hard to slide like that especially with soft compound tires.I think cold tires should have less grip but warm up faster.  waht do you think guys?  of course it depends on track temperature. 


Als I see in replays many people have gotten the hang of sliding the kart into the truns and not spinning coming out.  I find myself having a hard time doing this and spinning coming out of the turn. I want to blame it on my Logitech DFP pedals but i thnk it is me.  lol.

+1 u are right one lap to warm up the tires is ok i think. it depends on track temp and grip. That spinning out of turns i think is a bit too less with my Max i have no problems to do that if i want, only a short fast steer fullthrottle and u have a little bit of spinning and u can do a nice and smooth power slide ;) i can`t do this in krp. in Bueren that long 180° corners u can do very nice drifts in real also with 4 stroke 20 HP, but in krp it is hard and i used the most slippery asph ( CASPH) with ica no problem :) and there u get wheelspin on straight with cold tires :) so my suggestion is to have more wheelspin ( not so much grip) or something like that.

But most important for me is to improve netcode and that crashes ( setup, Marbles etc... )

there is one thing you really need change,the grip in lonato should be much more good,because in real life you don't slip so much,when it's more then 19 tempeture,you don't slip anytime.And offcourse force feedback should be much more stronger.

Post by: EVO on March 03, 2012, 03:57:33 PM
andrius22 sounds like you have driven on the real Lonato, south garda. Must be nice training and feeling.

I think o have a solution for your force feedback
if you open you logitevch profiler and goto settings you raise the force feed back strength, if you want even more you can raise it in KRP
Ive read 2004 and earlier steering wheels dont have teh greatest force feed back.  the G25 and G27 i hear are raelly good. Also when you raise the FFB be aware that it puts alot of stress on the motor in the steering wheel.  I play with FFB at 150-200 (KRP) and default levels in the Logitech profiler.  This is enough for me.  My for arms begin to hurt after 30 minutes.

I am not so agree with engine breaks because of the heat. Once, I forgot to put the bands of the water pump and the engine rises 110ºC after few laps... I only noticed the low performance and when I put the bands again and no more problems after that. Of course this is not the best example and maybe I was lucky, but the engine should not be damaged until it is very hot and for a long time

i wonder why noone said this but now it is time i think. U all should know how to drive in real in rain. u use the dirty ( outside) parts in corners there u have grip and on racing line it is slippery in rain. In KRP ATM u drive the same line as in dry conditions because there is no grip difference between inside and outside of corner.
a small example:

http://www.beule-kart.de/LeihkartDie_Ideallinie.html

That Red line is the racing line in dry and the blue striped line is the racing line in wet. In this text it is very good explained but it is german and i don`t know how good translator work but i think u know what i mean.
pls add to  list. Very important to make rain driving real.

or you can diamond cut your turns only partially using the dry line.  The reason its not entirely used it because all the oils and compounds come up out of the surface with rain and make it nasty slippery. I alsp read that they ride the very outside on turn in and turn out almost in the grass where peolpe dont normally go becasue there is some grip there (not som much grease coming up)

These are great points Schwoni

i noticed that at lonato today that there was no grip difference, also on a lot of track in a KF3 it is comon to launch the kart over the kerbs on some corners, which cut across the corner to avoid the rubber, but in KRP you cant do this easily. At siena for WSK for some corners you had to drive on the very edge of the track, wheras others people had their whole kart over the kerb, if there is a lot of rubber down on the racing line then i find that you have to brake on the inside of the track aiming straight across towards the outside, before cutting back in

Sorry but noone drive that line inside outside inside11 what u wanna do on lonatos 180° corners? drive inside do a fullbrake at the outside spin 180° and drive back inside?^^

Now real, hard to explain but i try. u drive like on the link on the racing line on straight, brake there start steer there u feel no grip drive ( slide with much understeer)  outside to the unused part of track, u get grip drive through corner and back to racing line.

Someone told me this   instead of   making a smooth     )      around curve making       >    diamond turns     

but Schwoni is most correct
"For Racing in the rain, there are as many different theories on going fast as there are designs for rain tires.  The beset advice is to stay off the normal racing line as much as possible. When water is added to the rubber and oil of an asphalt racing line, it gets very slick.   Many drivers will advice "rim riding" or driving the outside of the track as far as safely possible. This allows the chassis to transfer weight quicker while keeping at least two tires off the lick racing line at all times." -NKN magizine

the article also talks about setup if anyone is interested

Definitely less wet grip on the racing line, it would be great if the amount of reduction of grip on the racing line depended on how much rubber was on the track too from dry running beforehand (probably difficult to simulate? obviously not much gets put down in wet weather). I noticed as well that the drying line on the dynamic weather wasn't the line i was using?

The program should delete the previous installation of the game, all! There are a lot of people who don't know that is critical to delete both folders, game and PiBoSo, everytime new beta is released.

Perhaps the installator should delete only the conflictive files, I don't know, and it should warn people that their previous skins and paints may be deleted.

Nobody forces you to delete the old version, but the profile settings in ...Documents\Piboso\... are not compatible between the different Betas. If you don't delete/rename this folder you will get an erratic behaviour of KRP.

If you want to use different versions the best way is to create new folders e.g. C:\Games\KRP_Beta6, C:\Games\KRP_Beta5, C:\Games\KRP_Beta4 and install the corresponding version there. Don't start them until the next step is finished.
Open the 'core.ini' in each installation and change compatibilty from 1 to 0.

Code Select

[windows]
compatibility=0


Now KRP creates the profiles directly in the installation folder for each version and you can use them independent from each other.
Don't forget to copy your license.ini to each installation folder.

SRY But the tire and fuel thing is shit in my opinion. Why u wanna have tire temp and wear and the level of fuel visible? The wear u can see on tire textures, the temperature u feel while driving and the fuel level u can only see in real if u look at the tank and u see that the fuel slop. maybe slopping fuel in tank but not see in dash. It is a kart not a car^^

 Sorry   if you don't like my suggestion,  but there is no need to call it shit.... and as this is a game i would like all the help i can get ... as you cant get a true temp at the end of a race  and you don't know how much fuel is left over in your tank...
in the real world you would weight or measure the amount of fuel  being used ..we cant do this  .. all we can do is put 1 ltr in and see how many laps we can do.. you would look at your tyres at the end of a session and check temps and wear... we cant do this...
So i change my suggestion round ... what about at the end of the session you get a report on your true condition and fuel  left/used and the general condition of the kart when you go into the pits... ie damage report..

every time you go back to the pit you can see in the setup: wear, temp and pressure of the tires and fuel remained. anyway you can see the wear of the front tires when you are driving, both visible and feeling (for the 4 tires)

Beta 7 is close and we have to help Piboso. Here my MUST today's fixes:

-Grass must clean very quicly after we return to the track, both dry and wet, but very very fast in wet conditions (I wish to eliminate this effect on wet, I've never seen grass on my tyres when I drive rainning)

-More pressure for wet tyres. It is very comun to use 1,2 bar or 1,6 bar for those tyres on cold! (NEVER less than 1 bar) And they have to work on very high pressures (today I've tested and 1,2 bar was too much, so it is wrong)

-You probably have this fixed, but don't forget to put the tyre texture in the correct sense :)

It depends on which tyres you use. I have Vega raintyres now, don't know which, but you shouldn't do more as 0.9-1.1 bar with them. If you drive with 2 bar they burn like you're driving on a dry track. While for the Maxxis SLW I had in the past I needed around 1.8 bar to get them perfect.

The problem is that KRP only allows 1 bar maximum. It will be usefull to have each tyre specification, Soft, Hard and Wet. Soft works perfect with 1 bar, but what about Hard and Wet tyres?

For example VEGA tyres has their suggested pressure for the new FH compound at 0,6 bar:

I was not clear enough: Vega recomends that pressure in cold and Piboso tyres works perfect at 1 bar but hot, which is 0,7 in cold (more or less)

Other fix for WET:

-Tyres should work in the first meters, they don't need too long to heat as the dry tyres need.

-Drift sound should be eliminated

i tried slick tyres on wet track and it is almost like curling, i have never drive a real kart with slick tyres on wet track, here there are many persons who drive real karts, what's your opinion about? a real grip both in dry and wet condition would be good in tracks that are partially wet and are becoming dry
Title: Re: Fix Suggestions (LIST REORGANIZED CHECK IT, AND VOTE!)
Post by: Aritz on July 05, 2012, 10:33:30 PM
slicks are critical with tyre temp, so when the tyre pass through a little pudle, it colds and forget about to turn. Even when the track has not puddles but it is wet, the grip is very low, it is very hard to drive.
You can imagine how it is with a complete wet track when rains...

But you are right, krp exagerates this effect, maybe because it is very difficult to simulate the caster effect which "dries" the track when the steering wheel is turned (lack of english for explain this better, sorry)
Title: Re: Fix Suggestions (LIST REORGANIZED CHECK IT, AND VOTE!)
Post by: Aritz on July 06, 2012, 09:30:48 AM
More wet conditions fixes:

-Grass or Soil should not have the particles effect, that only when dry.

-It might be better to change the pasted grass on the tyres to a mud or something like that. But as I said, it should be gone fast, that is what water does; clean things  ;D

there needs to be more grip with slicks in the wet, ive had races where it rains halfway through the race when we where on slicks and the kart was still controlable. You can avoid spinning in real life but in the game you just crash the moment you get on track. If this can be fixed then it would be nice to be able to have a race where it rains during the race so people have to drive on slicks

how did yo set up this condtion.  I think if set the track to wet and sunny sky and run many laps you will get a partially dried track.  That you CAN drive with slicks

Completely agree. Slicks are hard to drive but it is possible in real, in game you barely can go straight...

You can choose DRY tyres with RAIN weather and the track wont be dry ever  :P

Post by: Diddy4957 on July 18, 2012, 10:08:00 AM
the wet grip on this game in general needs some work. PISBO has made a a good level of grip in the wet when you are on wet tyres, apart from the fact there is grip on the normal racing line which you wouldnt have in real life. I think its more important to get the wet grip on wets fixed first, and then try and make the grip with slicks better for a later update.

Diddy4957 In rain condtions you will have grip on the racing line if the tracks has not been driven in a long time.
When a track is driven alot and it rains the oils and rubber from the racing lline comes to the surfaces making the racing line slippery

the default groove feature in Beta 7 will fix this.
You will be able to save a groove file (the rubber that builds willl save and load) then you will see that in wet condtions there is little grip on the racing line

Post by: EVO on October 12, 2012, 04:29:12 AM
PiBoSo told us this awhile back

There is a little unused and untested feature that could be useful.

1) Open your profile.ini and add the following lines

Code: [Select]
[testing]
groove_edit=1
2) Drive several laps in testing mode on a track to create the groove ( it's possible to use groove_multiplier to generate it faster )
3) Press left ctrl + g: a file named temp.grv will be saved in KRP installation folder
4) Rename temp.grv to track_id.grv ( for example: essay.grv - or short.grv for the short layout ) and move it to the proper track folder, with the matching TRP file
5) KRP should automatically read this grv file at track load time

Note: setting of groove_edit to 1 is only needed to save the file, not to read it.

test it out.   load it on a wet track.

three suggestions what do you think?

KZ1 and F100 rev to the moon before exploding  slow to rev before  respective 16,000 and 20,000 rpm break point

hand choke faster and only works once the hand reaches the airbox.  Also it does not shut off the engine until its been choked for more than 2 seconds.

metal bumper bodywork select-able from KART selection screen not just profile.ini and testing.ini

Title: Re: Fix Suggestions (VOTE! AND SUGGEST)
Post by: James Beer on February 16, 2013, 07:20:46 PM
the rain suits are a good idea but they would be sorta complicated to make, how would you determine the right amount of rain drops on the suit for the condition + some rain suits are see through so it would also have to show the suit underneath , good idea but alot of work ;)

following on from that idea i think it would be cool if we, i the kart menu, could choose suits, gloves, boots, helmets, and karts separately as then people could have their own stuff. if not then maybe just boots+gloves, suit and kart, helmet in four sections :) what does eveyone think?
