Sorry guys if this is posted a bit, but I am completely stumped. For the last 2 races I feel I have set up the car and the driver agrees, and normally tweaking the numbers I have been able to get everything happy on the car and the driver, but I have the message from the last practice session Gear Ratio too low, no problem, I take the numbers that I start with and adjust them, but this time even going up and down a few hundred are not making a difference. So long story short, for Gear Ratio, if its Gear Ratio is too low does that mean a higher number is needed or low number is needed.
I thought I knew the answer to this and I have the rest written down but I really doubt now my figures since both raising and lowering my gear ratio gave me both gear ratio is too low, and the engine is going to explode which confused me to death. I hope I make sense on this. Normally I would definately agree with FOBY but in this case where I got both answers while moving from my base line in the same direction I am confused.
Thanks again for the help.

Too low = You have to go up
And taking the numbers from the last race won't help you much since the tracks are so different.

If you hover over the question mark next to the gear box, it should tell you :)
But yes, if its too low a higher number is needed.

Higher No.
Engine exploding : lower no.
|
|
|

lower needed = lower number :)
There is a little help box mext to the car part, hover over it for a little help :)

Didn't want to open a new thread, so I found this old dusty one.
For Magny Cours I am a bit confused with the feedback of my driver.
He said he wanted more revs for the engine and some more gear ratio after lap 1.
I did that and then he wanted lower revs which I also did always using a smaller delta.
After arriving at what I thought should be the correct setup he gave me feedback that he wanted lower engine revs and higher gear ratio which led me to adjusting beyond the figures he already said were too high or too low earlier (I just had 2 laps remaining at that point). So I still had feedback after lap 8 which contradicted his earlier feedback.
Key question, is the gear ratio in direct relation to the engine revs? Sounds logical to me, but I haven't come across it in any of my practice sessions so far (I know my career has not been that long).
I am happy to learn if this is indeed a feature, just wanted to get your thoughts on this as I have never read anything about it and I have read quite a lot.
Thanks.
Hope my post makes sense.

It is best to adjust one setting at a time until the driver is reasonably happy and then move to the next one.

I would triple check all of your driver's comments in each lap to make sure you haven't misread anything. ;)
Edit: or mistyped a setting. The amount of times my fat fingers entered a setup of 350 instead of 650 and I was confused by my driver's comments... gosh. :)

Not sure this is good advice Graham. Impossible to get decent setup with 8 laps with this approach.

No. They settings do not affect each other. Did you change anything during the process of setting up? Car or driver for example.

My guess is that you were either confusing engine and gear or reading the comments from a previous lap when making the adjustments (instead of the latest lap). I would suggest to go through the numbers and the comments from the beginning again and see if you can spot a mistake.
Edit: Or as Jason said above, that you made a change to the car.

He will run out of practice laps before the driver is happy with one of the car parts.

Thanks for your numerous replies.
The fact that the settings do not interact with each other is very helpful. Thanks Jason.
Edit: I found the reason, it was me misreading. Haha. That makes my post completely obsolete, but anyway, learned something anyway.
If I could send my driver to a literacy class so he can express himself a bit clearer in the future that would be a nice and funny addition to the game :)

That is terrible advice.
You can adjust all of the components at the same time, they are independent.

aaaand... about the best way to start setting up the car is set every part at 500 pts. Then listen to your driver's comment. If your driver say increase the point, you need to increase it by half. In other way, you need to increase it 500/2 = 250. But if your driver say decrease the point, you need to decrease it by half. Then run for the second practice!
Then if your driver still not satisfied with the setting, then increase or decrease it by half again. In other words, we will set the value at;
1st practice run = 500 pts, half value for 1000
2nd practice run = +-250 pts from 1st practice run
3rd practice run = +-125 pts from 2nd practice run
4th practice run = +-64 pts from 3rd practice run
5th practice run = +-32 pts from 4th practice run
6th practice run = +-16 pts from 5th practice run
7th practice run = +-8 pts from 6th practice run
8th practice run = +-4 pts from 7th practice run
or
1st practice run = 512 pts, half value of 1024
2nd practice run = +-256 pts from 1st practice run
3rd practice run = +-128 pts from 2nd practice run
4th practice run = +-64 pts from 3rd practice run
5th practice run = +-32 pts from 4th practice run
6th practice run = +-16 pts from 5th practice run
7th practice run = +-8 pts from 6th practice run
8th practice run = +-4 pts from 7th practice run
that was what i did. I hope this can help. ^_^
