Engine Brake Mapping will affect how much the engine helps slow down the car - lower numbers result in MORE engine braking, which also uses less fuel. The downside is that the engine only slows down the driven wheels, which can cause a braking imbalance between high and low speed.

taken from:http://www3.sympatico.ca/cbarnett/SetupMatrix.html#Engine%20Brake%20Mapping

The fastest way through a braking zone is with no automatic engine braking; this makes the braking distance shorter as the rear wheels are not being driven forward by the engine at all, which would make the front brakes work harder to slow down the vehicle in the same distance. But, as Andrew and Steve pointed out, this can be very tricky to do as you the driver must manually feed in a little bit of throttle as speed deteriorates, because the less speed you're traveling at, the less aero download is being applied to the rear wheels, and therefore the greater chance the rear wheels have of locking during a braking effort.

This means auto engine braking is really only an effective (or necessary) assister in mid-to-slow speed corners where the wings aren't working at their optimum.

Correct dzariq...

No wonder I find that 0 value has farther braking travel distance....

guys i need help my car skin look like shit.. in porto track.
hilang semangat nak practice td....

Hihii, nice skin gg.

I dont bother having no skin at all, but it's just me. Hahaha gg... what an ugly looking car...

GG wut hepeng to ur skinz???

his skin kena acid. thats y only metal plate left. i think the sponsor get mad or smthng


anyway....from ur explaination....the lesser the number of brake map in rfactor, the more engine braking is activate? like that ar pc?

too low engine braking map will cause oversteer I think.

announce at forum updated tq.......

What happen there GG? You touched the file or something?

Yup correct. I normally use engine braking in zones where i can downshift safely in order to slow down without much braking. And tap the brakes to give extra load the front end for it to turn better. I do this to save the brakes and fuel. But i'll make sure the rpm drop is not too high (i'll stress up the engine) or too low (affects corner exit speed and acceleration). Basically, must have enough torque out of corners.

Yep. It also very useful if we are taking downhill corner.

aku mcm kenal orang yang sabotaj nih
actually
Certain track tak support skin aku..
Sepang track pun jadi cmnie gak,

Apsal tak support bro? Peliknye aku rasa....HEHE..

guys, is this version of track FSONE 2006 Track Pack v0.5 any good? are most of the track in this pack is compatible with MMGF1 2007 server edition?

i dont know whats is ur point saying pelik?
ko gi try track Fsone sepang, bukan skin aku je jd camtu, skin kereta bon2020(karom's car), kimi, test drive car,
dia punya skin 'teroverwrite' dengan skin track punya texture, that we call 'bug'.
..so kalo nak post tu sila 'beralas' sket cakap.

dh brape race ko tak masuk?so jgn bnyk bunyi.
aku rasa ko stil nk join MSR sebab next season F1..sebab tu ko bg alasan mcm2 in this season.
season ni ko takde point jgn mimpi la nak pilih keta F1 kang.nasib la dpt keta 'ANTENNA' besar, lepas tu bnyk bunyi lg.

relax bro relax..

btw porto is one hell of a tough track man.. couldnt get a good time, so much of precise braking these track

cheerz. give this KID time to grow. IF he ever want to grow up

yup. very tough indeed. 2.04.xx only

i think try to survive to the final lap is the best for me i think.

Probably modder (e.g FSONE, CTDP, MMG) design the track for their mod, they never consider about other mod. This not only maximise their mod quality (e.g image quality and easy to drive.)
Just my assumption.

Ic...if really ter'overwrite', then i think its the case where the name of ur cars .dds is coincidentally the same as one of the tracks .dds. U can try open up the .mas files for the track maps and check if there is a conflict in names. my two cents.

dunno which file to edit.cant access that mas file

err tukar name file dds aku ok ke?
