Quote:OS: Could you talk a little bit about the direction iRacing is going in terms of track dynamics, such as real-time rubber being laid down, marbles at the top of the track, and weather conditions changing and their effects on the track? Also is there a possible day-to-night transition?

Myers: Out of that list, I could see the next thing us attacking would be the dynamic track stuff, and the reason we haven’t done anything in that area yet is we wanted 100 percent focus and completion on the new tire model first. Dave wanted to complete the tire model first and then move focus. It would have been a waste of time and resources to create that and then implement the new tire model -- all of that work would have been a waste of time. As far as the day-to-night transition, that is a bit tricky. We have never done that with our engine, and it’s a very big project. I could see it being something we definitely want to do someday, I just don’t see it as being one of the short-terms items we do. There are so many other things that we can devote engineering time to right now that it would make more sense to knock out five things, as opposed to just one.

Quote:Agreed. However, we've never been able to coax a TC algorithm out of any of our partners, which tells you how closely they hold those to their chest. We can easily write a very simple one ourselves, but that wouldn't do any of the cars justice. So, it's going to take developing a sophisticated, and flexible one in order for our cars to have TC implemented. This process will be another, probably, 6 month to a year worth of development work after we've assigned this task to an engineer or two.

Se o actual modelo de pneu ( no Nationwide ) só tem em conta os efeitos da temperatura do pneu e as forças exercidas sobre o pneu, quando intruduzirem as os efeitos dinamicos, valores como temperatura da pista, ar, quantidade de borracha na pista e humidade do ar vão passar a fazer parte da equação também!

Nem me fales nisso... Hoje o iRacing estava-se a passar e não aceitava o cartão MBNet, pelo que tive de usar a treta do paypal para comprar os créditos para a prova em Charlotte. Não é que os gajos do paypla converteram 1€=1,36 USD! Escândalo!
