Dopo averci presentato la licenza del mitico circuito di Indianapolis ed alcune vetture storiche, oggi Slightly Mad Studios, con la collaborazione di un tecnico della scuderia Schmidt Peterson Motorsports, ci svela tutti i segreti della Dallara DW12 Indycar presente nel prossimo Project CARS 2. Come al solito, accompagnano una manciata di spettacolari screens.
With the IndyCar Dallara DW12 coming to Project CARS 2, Schmidt Peterson Motorsports’ assistant race engineer Kenny Krajnik found time during prep’ for the Indy 500 to talk all-things Indy, and how his team, who started last year’s race at the Brickyard on pole, assisted in the development of the in-game Dallara DW12 …
Q: In terms of the simulation itself: presumably there are two aspects to this. The first is the driver, and the second is what you, as an engineer, is getting out of the simulation. Are you looking at the interaction between the driver and the simulation, or are you actually looking at it purely from an engineering perspective?
Kenny Krajnik: I would say both. We have a lot of different simulation tools available to us, and one of those is the driver-in-the-loop simulation—very similar to a computer game, but one where the driver sits in a moving platform that can represent g-loading and so on. In that case, we can apply setup changes to the model, and the driver will go do a few laps and give us his comments on those changes. We can use that to correlate our simulation models, as well as consider potential setup changes that could be useful in the future.
