The bar next to your name (to left left of the badge next to your number) is showing ping, the higher the bar the more ping, the more you lag. At one point yours if full and red, it tells you each individual's (including yours) ping.
Congrats and another great video. You seem to have got the balance between racing and accumulating SR spot on - some folk farm SR but don't "race", whereas you are able to be competitive as well as safe. A winning combo! The real trick that you use here is knowing when to fight and when to let the place go...a lot of people could learn this from you
Thank you once again! I am combining some thoughts about this balance at the moment actually. Its been an interesting experiment of increasing the SR while being in the middle of every single race. Hopefully my approach can help others in some way. It has been a lot more fun then just starting from the back all the time!
Wow, you're already very fast...I'm still struggling to get below 1:37 on Misano. SR is slowly going up though, I try to stay out of trouble 😄. Congrats on your promotion!
Thank you! My advise for Misano is get completely over basically all the inside kerbs. There is so much time to find with the track limits! But keep that SR climbing! Where is it at currently? One of my next videos will actually be about how I have raced for SR in rookies.
@@BradleySettersMotorsportIt’s at 3.15 now, it went down after the first couple of races but now I’ve had 4 consecutive races with no negative SR. This week I’m only doing the sprint races on Misano as I’m not that great on Brands Hatch. Looking forward to more of your videos!
Congrats on the promotion! I'm still working on getting the required SR to start my LFM license. I've been practicing Barcelona (as that is this seasons rookie license track) and have got my lap times where they need to be to pass. Looking forward to some actual LFM races though, you make them look chaotic and fun!
Thank you! Chaotic and fun, is a good way to describe rookies haha. If you are quick enough for the licence, then I recommend you do some slow AI races in ACC to just follow close and clean and get over the 80SA number! Just do what you have to so you can get stuck into LFM!
You approach these races really well. I wish more people would sim race in a similar manner. My guess is you will be in LFM pro within 6 months to a year! Keep it up
Thank you! I have tried really hard to have a good attitude toward every race, and I think it has paid off. Just trying to be a little better each time.
Really well done in both races honestly Obviously the first didn't go to plan, but you were doing all the right things, so it is what it is haha You've got some serious pace brother, a near 1 33 lap at Misano is very impressive. Love to see it!
Thank you so much. Misano has been a strong track for me, and I really like the groove you can get into! Have some racing at Brands Hatch to do, but I think Ill get back to Misano for a couple more by the end of the week hopefully!
Really great round up of your last 2 rookie series races, can't believe the Lambo just drove off after that performance! Looking forward to seeing you next race reports, keep it going mate!
Yea was a little disappointing actually. But can only control my own actions in a moment like that. Really interested to see how the next races go, but still need to be careful out there haha.
@@BradleySettersMotorsport I started with LFM a litle bit after you did and its pretty fun, but i Hope im gonna be able to buy a used Setup, still g29 rn. Id be so hyped (vrs Pedals, fanatec csl dd 8nm, Formula v2.5x and an Alu rig) 😁
loving the content m8, cant believe how fast you are already, you obviously have some talent for sim racing i think my quickest time at Missano is like a 1.35. Keep it up it insperational!
Congrats! Going out of Rookies, the races are much cleaner, but I found my ELO rating plummeted quickly after leaving. You're really quick though, so I don't think you'll have the same problem. Great racing on both of the races. Hope to see you on track sometime!
Thank you! Yes I am interested to see how the Elo progresses now. I think the chance of me being competitive in a split one race are slim, so if I race at times with lots of players online then I might have more chance of gaining Elo. Also need to build up an SR buffer so I don't end up back in rookies!
@@BradleySettersMotorsport Don't stress much about the safety rating now. If you are reasonably consistent and predictable, it'll climb quickly. The races out of rookies is much cleaner and it's much easier to keep your safety racing once you're out.
Thank you! That's a great add on to the video! I am fortunate to see my moments dozens of times when I edit and then commentate it for videos. And you are right that seeing all the angles does show you those little 1% details that can be improved for next time. We can only work on ourselves at the end of the day.
You are quick.. we have about the same pace on misano, but I've been on flm since late 2021 (although with a total break from sim racing between feb 23 and jul 24). Soon you'll be able to qualify for lfm pro.
As a first viewer i have a quick question how are u that fast i am also new in acc At first i thought you had good setups but after buying a setup it is faster but you still fast Do you have any strong previous experience
Practice an implementation of knowledge when you can use every inch of the track and you are incomplete understanding of what the car can do and will do you can push the car to the limits he's not new to racing just new to acc
Take a look at Track guides regarding to the car you drive the most. Stick to that one car and learn bit by bit. Its the best you can do in my opinion. If you wanna learn about Setups dont buy them right away. There are many great free ones. Also get into practice and play around with the setup and try to learn to understand which changes have a certain effect.
Hey thanks for the question. I did a lot of GranTurismo growing up, but nothing the last 10 years. But I would call myself well researched going into ACC. You can learn a lot from watching the top streamers, and track guides are good for research. But I do take all my driving sessions very serious, and its seems to be paying off so far. I have some videos in the works with a driver coach that will be a good help for new players. So stay tuned for that!
Got destroyed at Misano the other day. A guy couldn't overtake me, so he rammed into me... My mustang was destroyed, and from 13 in lap 7, I ended up second to last. Rookie sprints are full of kamikazes not caring about others
I also love a fair fight. Its just less likely you will get a clean one in rookies. I have found its much better to be the car behind as you control the outcomes. But only go for a move if you are 110% sure it will work. You might not get the chance to pass, but you learn a hell of a lot in the process and look after the SR.
How do you get those overlays, I race with a vr headset because im limited in space so idk if they would work well but I think the overlays would help me out with better understanding my car
My overlays are from ACC Drive. Lots of cool features and lots more info compared to the normal ACC stuff. I haven't used it in VR, but its all works in VR.
It was from your side. You can see a little bar between the car make and your name. That is latency. Your goes full red and full bar sometimes meaning that your latency is spiking.
Kind of right, but in the moment they had contact the bar was still yellow. so not that big of an issue. Regarding latency the most important thing is real life distance between the 2 players and the routing. Since the Aston was desyncing i asume he was the one lagging. If the aston would not have been lagging he would not have desynced. BUT he also has a RED Number card so i think him being fairly less rated than Setters makes it happen. As he said misjudgement.
Thanks for the comments! I will certainly be able to keep an eye on the latency more now. Watching the recordings I was have issues, but others were as well. Just the joys of online game play I guess.
I wish, so badly, that console players would give as much respect as you do to other drivers around you. Don't get me wrong, there are some great drivers out there, and I'm not immune to mistakes either, but the dive bombs that you have to actually avoid, thereby losing a place or two, is so frustrating. Nothing to do with your once again excellent video, but I just want to put it out there. Hopefully somebody will read this and think twice about a dive bomb. Rant over. Love your stuff, Brad. I wish more online drivers were as spatially aware as you are.
All we can do is show the example of what we want right? I'm working on a video to at least break down how I approach rookie races from a perspective of safety. Hopefully it goes viral and can help out everyone haha
@@BradleySettersMotorsport i love what you are doing here. You're clearly not an amateur. But the way you frame your videos as a newbie is just what the sim racing community, as a whole, needs. Respect for the other people on track is the key to having great races. And you show that better than most videos I've seen.
Yea I try very hard to keep my cool. I guess I can only control my own actions, and I would genuinely be more annoyed at my own mistakes. So better to try finish with some positives, and be ready to go again for the next one.
Hi Bradley. Im Vale again. Please watch out for the front temperature brake. It cant be over 650: infact is orange. Open it by 1 click. You lose time because tha power of braking is to much and in a long race you will lose brake power also
Yea 100%. I will have some videos explaining it all once I land on some firm solutions. There are some great product out there and I sort of wished I had this stuff from day dot. So will get those videos up as soon as I can!
As for the lag .... its the servers the game only uses 0.3 mbps while im racing so barely any bandwith most of the servers are in Europe I'm in America the server ping is always up around 130 milliseconds but my ping to the server is around 65 milliseconds what I think happened with the Aston was a packet burst of information in the game was like no he's not here he is actually up here in your rear end 😳
Yea I think that was the case as well. I was trying to give more space with the thought that would happen to me with the car in front. Really unfortunate!
Congratulations yet another track where your 3 seconds faster I did improve at brand hatch ..... now you're going to find that some of these guys that are super safe aren't the fastest guys on the track they're just good clean drivers I really feel like the guys in rookie class are just overly aggressive and just accept the fact that they're making mistakes instead of trying to prevent mistakes when working on your safety rating is not about winning the race it's about finishing clean and a lot of these guys are just worried about winning I've been pushed off track a few times when I'm holding a good position defending and they cant get around so they shove me out
Thank you. Misano has turned out to be a good track for me, and little easier then Kyalami last week! I am hoping for some cleaner racers in the next ones, and will be interesting my pace being in Elo rated splits.
@@BradleySettersMotorsport good but its not really pleasing for the eye if you could record without these overlays it wouldve been way better if you use obs to record then you can select record specific window and you have to select ac2
No need. The Lambo will be a NFA because he simply lost it. That was a Racing incident. And the second is too hard to judge because of the lagg. also NFA
