Chevrolet Camaro GT3 v1.61 Now Available!

Thanks mate, tuning part is the "old" upgrades tab menu.....

 

Please tell me I read that wrong... Are you saying you have to pre-select your TC characteristic in the car-select screen rather then being able to adjust it once you're in the garage (not to mention while actually out on track)?

 

Maybe there are plans to improve the driver assists, some time in the future? Perhaps this is just a placeholder, kind of like what we have now, for the transmission model, in certain cars.

 

IMO, both TC settings (agression and amount of slip) should be placed in the setup setion, for those cars which are equiped with TC in RL.
But in the driver assist section if not. Would require UI-changes of course.

 

UI will change, there was a time when it was being developed but was postponed due to it being too time consuming.

I very much agree that we need this TC setting in setup/garage window or even shown on dashboard if rl car has it too so you can change it on a fly with clicks of a button just like brake bias.

Right now I'm trying to figure out if TC and abs aids work as a generic aids that take care of what it should do with each car the same way or is it car specific, so low for Camaro GT3 isn't the same as low TC for some road car that has it as well.

 

I think it is car specfic...

I tried the TC at LOW with the URD, it was insane... The TC kicked in in each corner...
After that I tried the TC on the ISI Vette... it was a lot less, and the TC was more permissive.
I think.

 

So what is the "factory" race car TC setting? The default in the tuning menu?

 

I know i claimed some of the latest car releases with new CPM as a bit to easy to handle, well this car isn't. Definately!
I did a few practice laps at Bathurst, i'm not really confident with this track still, so i had a few spins. I decided to soften suspension, gave more rideheight and more front-brake. This made the car better up in the hills, under braking, over curbs and was a little bit easier to control in general.
Still tricky though. Last place of 12 car field (11 AI at 99%).
Then i switched TC on at "low". This worked very well for me, still had to be a bit carefull on the gas, but at T2, the right-hand corner after the long uphill straight, i was able to powerslide consistently out of the corner. Very nice!
To my surprise TC gave me about two seconds. Really a good idea to use it with this car.

 

I did a quick comparaison of the new camaro GT3 with the corvette GT2 (with the 2010 Engine) at sebring. The comparaison was quit impressive.

(Note that the tests were done whithout any aid)
The 2 cars behave differently in different area.
The corner speed and the braking is way better with the Corvette.
But the straight line speed was a lot better with the Camaro.

So the overall laptimes were quit similar.

I came online with a friend. at first I had the vette and him the camaro, after we switched and he had the vette and I had the camaro.
Their was not a clear winner...
it was quit similar.

At the end of the session I managed to do the best lap with the corvette by 1 sec, but I think that with a little more experience with the camaro and setup I could probably manage to get this closer.
I guess that a different tracks would give different result too.

Next thing to test would probably be a full stint between the two. the camaro has harder tire (medium vs soft) an a bigger fuel tank.

What do you think guys?

But as usual, ISI has really made this GTs car really really FUN to drive !
Good job

 

I actually struggle going back to a car with TC. Have to get used to the idea of it being on again but I think the Camaro's characteristics are more pronounced now than before. Powerful but can't break or turn on a dime anymore.

 

Hmm.. not really seeing anyone race this car online? A bit surprised and disappointed. Where are all of you at?

How about replacing the ISI Indy/Stockcar server with GT3? Nobody is ever on there anyway.

 

I would love to see league using ISI GTs in a north america time frame... that's very rare seriously..

 

If I could just see it on any server that would be great. Most are Nissan GTR, URD (which I don't understand because they feel like an arcade game).

Can't really find anyone that wants to use the Camaro GT3. It's an amazing car.

 

Sorry ISI, very disappointed with the v1.61.
I race on rF2, accepting it's flaws, because it more accurately resembles actual cars in the physics dept.
The ISI Camaro has some serious physics flaws. I've just driven Nordschleife Tourist 30+secs faster than
the lap record, fairly drunk (which should add at least 10 secs+ per lap), thus bettering my sober time with the old version.
Sure, it's more of a handful, but the acceleration/speed differential is ludicrous. The physics are arcady to the extreme,
I haven't seen a 70's F1 get so much air (with 11 deg rear wing too!!!) over the bumps as this thing!!!
The previous version wasn't perfect, but IMHO WAY better. I know you guys want to attract new players via STEAM, but
'dumbing down' mods to arcade level will hinder rather than help.

 

And on what planet are you???

 

I disagree with you on the Camaro handling. For me, it is now more sensible to one's inputs, not meaning that it's harder to drive though, and requires more finesse, especially when doing a longer stint. If anything, I feel it's an upgrade of physics, not a dumb-down.

You could try this http://isiforums.net/f/showthread.php/27045-Sim-Racers-4-Life-Fun-Events-GTs-at-Essington?p=396859&viewfull=1#post396859

Server is open now for practice and short races your welcome to drive some laps with us

 

I've raced in that server but everybody chooses the GTR. I even mentioned the GT3 but nobody seemed to care. So, I thought what's the point then and left after the first race.

 

GT3 against GT1, that's a nice challenge

 

tonight there where several camaro's and vette's
