!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! The second race of !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! is April 18th at 8:00 PM EDT. If you’d like to learn more about the race, click the link and get all the info. Or, if you’ve already read the plan but haven’t signed up yet, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .
If you’re not racing with us, many of us stream the races on twitch, the links for which will be posted on race day.
Also, instead of using parties or gamechat, we are going to be using the Oppositelock Racing/Digital Burnouts Discord to communicate during the races. If for some reason we are not using the app or it fails, we will be using gamechat to communicate, and hoping for the best. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
BUILD RULES HAVE BEEN FINALIZED! !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . All of the changes are limited to the SP2 class, but make sure to double check the sheet nonetheless for any updates to your car. Also, unfortunately, since the fuel capacities of every car are very different, and because Mugello eats tires, there will be required pit stops for each class: 5 in SP1, 6 in SP2, and 5 in SP3.
O n the subject of BoP, this is my last planned BoP change for the rest of the season. Yas Marina revealed cracks in the SP2 BoP I didn’t anticipate, so for Mugello I looked at the class with much more scrutiny. Since Mugello is a good all around track and many of the remaining tracks are similar, I hope to not have any more BoP updates. However, if issues arise and/or are brought to my attention, changes will still be made. I’ll still be doing a bit of my own testing, but feedback from all of you will be extremely important. Whether you test 2 cars or 20, any data is appreciated.
Also a reminder th at YOU MUST SIGN UP FOR EVERY ROUND . Even if you signed up for round 1 and are not changing cars, you must SIGN UP AGAIN . This way I can adequately prepare for the race and a 24+ scenario.
That’s it for now! There will be some practice sessions this week leading up to the race. Check the Discord for info regarding that. Otherwise, see you Saturday for CrevOppo!

Do you know how I can calibrate pedals in FM7? I can’t get it to recognize that the last 75 % or so of my brake pedal travel exists with my G27. No mater what I do it reports 100% brake pressure when I am only at ~25% pedal travel. iRacing does the same thing from time to time but there I can easily fix it by opening the options menu and mashing the pedals to get it to self calibrate, Forza doesn’t seem to have any calibration options at all.

Hmmm. I run a Fanatec wheel and had to calibrate the pedals on the PC using the driver for the wheel itself. I don’t know if you have something like that for the G27 but I’d start there. If there are still issues I’d mess with the in game deadzone settings on Forza.

I’ve played with deadzones a bit which allows me to make it so it doesn’t try to kill me immediately but I can’t get it to acknowledge most of the pedal travel. Works fine in all other sims.

Very odd. Maybe contact Logitech support?

Figured it out. Unbind and then rebind the pedal axis and it works fine.
I will say I am on the struggle bus trying to switch from iRacing to Forza. The kind of aggressive trail braking that gets you speed in iRacing makes the car try to kill you in Forza. Gonna have to play with the tune a lot to try to get the car to work with me.

Just a thing: You should probably note in this post that you want people to sign up again even if they raced round 1. I only noticed the discord dot to know that I needed to do that. I’m sure there are people who only open the discord to join race chat so they may not know they need to sign up again.

Good shout. I’ll add it. Though it’s also been in the sign up post all this time.
