Team and drivers Performance

Post by Hawke »

Are the performances of the teams and drivers in every positions of teams in GP2Edit different????

If i us the data from the NL2 carset in my own championship, the toyota of trulli is the fastest on track followt bij barrichello, glock, the red bulls and than button.

I only placet the team in an other order in my own carset.

Just changing the sequence shouldn't fundamentally affect things, as far as I remember, performance settings are specified in each team's slot (car and drivers).

It should make no difference. Only sometimes i notice this strange bugs too. When i drive with the NL² carset, Button doesn't win that much. Usually Vettel or Barrichello, sometimes even Webber. :-s

I really don't have a clue what this could be. You can try to install a new unpatched Gp2, and then patch it with
your "modified" carset. Maybe this helps... :wink:

I still believe that patching one version of Gp2 many times with almost the same values, messes up the performance
of drivers. But i never really did deep testing about this. :?

Yeah I've noticed similar patterns too. Those of you who have downloaded my carsets will know that I have A and B versions so when I combine single-car teams into one two-car team, both teams are represented. If I play with the A version I'll get totally different results to the B version despite them having the same grip settings.

Sometimes I find that if I patch GP2, and do a race weekend, it'll give some odd results. But if I then re-do the same weekend without quitting GP2, it'll give more expected results.

If the wings in the ccsetup of your tracks are 10/10, GP2 will set wings 10/9, 10/10 and 10/11 for most teams. Cars with 10/9 will be faster. Some cars will have weird setups and will be really slow.

These settings are random, but it seems that the first session in enter when you start GP2 will aways be the same. Using NL² carset it will make the Toyotas faster (at the first session...but if you quit the race and start another one, it will change).

You can check his saving the gaming and opening it with Hof2lap. I'm not sure, but I think you should use -C option to see all ccsetups.

In GP3 and GP4 they can track this stuff with GPxPatch's random seeds (which control car failures and cc mistakes, as well).
