Is this reproducible? Can I have the setup and preferably telemetry so I can try to mimic the exact conditions under which this happens?

This problem will be caused by an instability resulting from the stiffness frequency of the ring (tyre carcass) and rim interaction reaching some threshold. Even though we're running at 2400Hz, the point it can become unstable is as low as 200Hz. There are 2 (main) ways to curtail this, that is...

It's in our bug tracker, thanks!

Thank you, this has been corrected in our repository and will be deployed on the next update.

Yes, front and rear are the same, a leisure that the newer GroundConductance= had enabled us (without contact pressure sensitivity, we used to be unable to match temperature balance front to rear). And yes, we'll try to be more accomodating, that's actually what I meant when I said:

Yes, pushrod is just the damper/spring connection (the name is a little misleading, I'll admit). If the car is symmetrical (which is generally the case), it's often easiest to measure the precise distance between 2 co-ordinates. Once you have a point, you can always measure relative to that...

https://docs.studio-397.com/developers-guide/cars/car-physics/tyre-database Under "245/650-18x10", should work. We'll allow that option when we do an update too, thanks for the feedback.

Just to pass on a little info. I thought it was generally self evident what the tyres were for. One example, as 95% of open wheelers run on 13" rims, that a 13" tyre would likely belong to an open wheeler. Furthermore, the width is generally greater on a high powered open wheeler, and it's...

It can come about as a result of extrapolation. This is the default InclinationExtrapolation=1.0, it's defined under the [REALTIME] section. But for the last 16 months or so we've recorded tyres at a higher level of detail and extrapolation is rarely needed. You could probably set it to 0,0.

CTRL+H is a dev mode only thing. For the record, I did manage to run the FISI (physics untouched) upside down on your track, with a tweaked setup. It's difficult because it scrubs a lot of speed near that 90º angle, I think the bristles may even sometimes apply forces in the wrong direction when...

The hat collision detection begins to fail around 60 degrees of angle and continues until about 120 deg. Check the TGM bristle display with CTRL+= and you will see that the bristles no longer contact the ground properly. So when that happens it starts to fall on the undertray, which drops the...

In the .hdv, under [CONTROLS] OnboardEngineBrakingMap=1

The series is not closed to improvements, they gain inverter efficiency, motor efficiency, and transmission efficiency year on year (also the rear suspension layout is more open now). So the '2018' cars we have are more efficient than the '2017' season. And more efficient, particularly in this...

What is currently reported as 'oil' temperatures need to be kept under 60-63ºC. Brakes work best from about 350°C to about 700°C. (carbon discs) Tyres, not really such thing as an optimal, but it's generally around 85ºC.

Hi, sorry that it took me so long to get back to you. The overall shape and design look pretty much OK (though it's harder for me to tell from the .tgm than a source file). Most likely the tread is just slightly too flat and should have a bit more profile to it.. But it depends on the overall...
