Released NEW! GT3 Pack - Now Available!

We recently had a 75min race. The leader drove an AMG. He was able to lap at the end (no tire change) with S8M Meds as fast as in lap5,or still +1sec approx as the fastest 2nd lap (finishing with ~53% tire wear). Same tendency for someone else who was leading 20laps until disonnect, driving a C7 (they were close together all time until the disco). Ok, they started with 100% fuel and finished with almost 0, ~75kg difference in weight. But 1sec time loss after 5 laps (what is ok) and then continously same lap times, in Silverstone GT???
Nr. 5 driver could drive a final last lap again with only +1.5sec diff to his 2nd best lap. His front left had 25% left only at this point...
Nr. 4 driver could do a full 75min stint even with soft on the rears in a Bently, again +1Sec only at the end, finishing the softs with 50%

Do you think all this makes sense?

I was driving a radical, I´m loosing 2 sec. to my first laps after 5 laps or so. The whole car becomes instable. No way to go 75min with +1sec loss only. Anotherone, faster than me, around pos5 in the race for long time, started too sliding around with the tail until he crashed while the other cars drove like on rails their laps without any more time loss.
And strangley, the tires in the radical are listed as "S8M (Medium)" while all other cars the meds are listed "S8M" only. So there is a difference, right? And not only size, there seems to be a dramatic difference in wear to grip characteristics. Pls. check (again) what is different from the radical to the others.
Thx
Best regards
Stefan

You've overused the tires.

Look at this, it was a 60 minute race.

The Radical drives used a Joystick to drive.
The secret is to keep a clean line without sliding and overheating the tires.
The tires have different names because the Radical got an update and S397 decided to keep it simpler with the tire names. Thats all.

Yes you can keep the times constant in the radical with a setup which is safe, the question is how much slower you get. And first, 2nd lap usually you can go faster (without overpushing), then the tire is broken in and constant.

I had the same effect with the Corvette, with the Bentley, with McLaren. I have been driven to often the URD EGT mod where you are only really fast, driving hard as you can. Change your driving style and everything is fine.
 
Just looked through our series data and it was very similar to what Andregee posted.
The radicals lap times were also consistent.
 
The "problem" is more the Radical itself than the tires, that car needs a different approach, calm down or get a safe setup. I always make safe setups because I'm not a fast driver (and making these setups take less time than trying to go fast, not like I'll go fast anyway xD)
 
Hi I bought GT3 Pack and I can not download and install Corvette. When downloading it will write "Failed Verification / Callaway_Corvette_GT3_2017 1.971". What do you want with this? Thank you for your help.
 
Big technical problem here: After uninstalling a rfmod (of which GT3-DLC was part of), deinstalling a track and installing the updated track, GT3 pack isn´t available anymore!
I can remember that some people had similar issues in the past but search function in forum is a pain in the ass and leads to nothing.
Verifying (2 times) doeas nothing. Also: On steam shop-site the pack isn´t marked as owned or something. Is this normal?
Cars are marked as installed in Launcher btw.
Chaos complete. Any ideas? (besides reinstalling the whole game, what I wont do)

Go to your Steam Inventory.
Access to the paid content is there. Unsubscribe then Subsribe.
I hope that is what you're after.
 
Thanks!

LOL! Doesnt work! Unsubscribed, started launcher, did downloads. Closed launcher, closed steam. Fired up both again. Content automaticly subscribed. Content still not there!

Edit: ok. Now I have it. puuuh

Steam is reporting content not available. I see others also having trouble with new Skin content. Content not available message prevent me from unsubsribing to try to reinstall. No GT3 cars show in game at all. What is going on with this?
 
So are you saying that when you go to your Steam Inventory there is nothing listed for rF2 there?

peterchen posted a few posts before you that his eventually turned up.
All I would suggest is too check if Steam itself has an update. Top left of Steam, select Steam then select Check for Updat.
Maybe do a file integrity check.

@Will - can you please post one of your "safe setups" and/or explain how you arrive at one? Merci.

As simple as setting up the car towards understeer.
Go to your garage settings and increase the rear wing by two clicks.
Congrats, you have just made your first "safe" setup change ^^^
There's no limit to how "safe" a setup you can make, except for the tire barrier you are bound to understeer into at some point.
 
@Studio397: Are there some thoughts about a sound balance update? The difference in volume levels between player sounds and opponent sounds is way to big.
With engine sounds and player sounds at 100% i have to lower the opponent sounds to 20-25% just to hear my own engine. I had opponent sounds on 75% before (which works with other content), and while i was driving inside the car, the sound was similar like sitting on the grandstand and cars passing by. My own engine was almost silent referring to the other GT3 cars on track.

I tested your set below on silverstone. It is slow (lack 1-2 sec) because it is too much understeer (rwing 4, no rear arb) and I did not adjust anything (soft tires, meds are a bit more balanced). The front tires get much higher wear than the rear ones.
However I can lap continously within +1 sec approx to the first laps, even when front tires reach 70% and rears are still >80%.
What I do not know however is whether it is due to slower first laps or whether it is really a constant tire.
In any case it is not my driving style. And there is maybe something influencing grip of tires that is not represented in any value we can look into, which is a gap to be filled. It´s is definitly not represented by wear, temp, pressure, whatever.

Like I said adjust ARB and wing according to the track, at Silverstone you should run rear wing 1 or 2 and change ARB
