DRS don't work in race

We are trying to apply the DRS in a mod, in practice and classification work, but in the race we get the message "rear flap activate" but the DRS does not work.
What is the problem? maybe something in the file .GDB of the track?
thanks

 

Might be a track that doesn't have a DRS zone specified. Have you tried on a track that definitely has them defined?

 

We've tried it in this configuration

RearFlapWetThreshold=0.5
RearFlapZone
{
MinimumCrossings=3
TimeThreshold=1.0
DetectionLapDist=2.749
ActivationLapDist=3.161
DeactivationLapDist=250
}

 

did this work?

 

In qualy and practice yes, but in race don't work.

 

You are going past the first lap, etc?

 

Yes Tim, after 3 laps don't work.

 

Yes we cross over three times and the "drs" message did show, but still didn't work.

 

I did a test with my own track conversion and my own mod conversion and it works fine, I don't have problems.

 

Thanks mcnolo,nice to see you.

Would it be possible that the area of drs was limited after the activation?

 

Hi Vicent, nice to see you.

I've done only a test, but worked perfectly. The DRS configuration is this:

RearFlapWetThreshold=0.5
RearFlapZone
{
MinimumCrossings=3
TimeThreshold=1.0
DetectionLapDist=4742
ActivationLapDist=0
DeactivationLapDist=640
}

The track is Imola 2006 and the activation is after finish line. The DRS zone finish in the first chicane.

Clarification, the test was in DEV MODE.

 

Ok I will try a similar config in valencia, thanks.

 

In mod mode, pressing CTRL+H will give you the lap distance, is it possible you've inadvertently set one of the distances to something greater than the actual lap distance? Also maybe the detection zone is a bit too close to the activation zone.

Also are you sure you're following within the 1.0 seconds?

 

Hi, I havn't got a lot of time, but I've test it and thanks to your help I've could find it, or so I think.

My mistake was that I wrote "X.XXX" instead of "xxxx" whithout the dot. Now, for Silverstone I have been testing and I used this config:

Code:

 RearFlapWetThreshold=0.5   // maximum track wetness allowed for rear flaps to be used (any session)
  RearFlapZone               // zones for using rear flaps in race sessions
  {
    MinimumCrossings=3       // how many times you must cross the detection under green before it is allowed
    TimeThreshold=1.0        // seconds behind another vehicle for it to be allowed
    DetectionLapDist=3368    // distance around track where time threshold is detected
    ActivationLapDist=4195   // beginning of zone where it can be used (if under time threshold is detected)
    DeactivationLapDist=4800  // end of zone (yes, the zone can be wrapped around s/f, or not)
  }

It works in race in moddev.Thank you

 

good job and great news :-D

 

Great. Thanks for this analysis.
Did you use the distance values from the score values Out of the .AIW file of the Track Layout?
