MX Simulator

I reckon it would be really cool fi you could change the amount of PSI you have in your tubes. Lower PSI for muddy/sandy tracks and higher for hardpack dry tracks. This would help with traction also. Thanks

1. mostly you don't know what tracks come next after restarts online!
2. I guess most ppl here don't wanna change this before every restart.

NO

mm very true, didnt think of online.. thankyou.

You do if you read the track lineup tread, and you basicly know the track your riding on if you're going to race races on 19802

Sure, but how many people do change their suspension setup for each and every restart/track changes?

I think it's a great suggestion!

I can't believe I've never thought about this before. I dont mind changing a few PSI on each restart. It sure would help I would think.

If this would improve the ridiculous amount of times your front wheel washes out, i want it.

why not having the best tyre pressure? We do not need to change it before every restart!

Well it would be cool first few days. But changing it, after (nearly) every restart would be annoying as hell and +90% would stop to change it i guess!

Most people won't change it for every restart, why do you keep thinking people change their whole setup after a restart to a new track?

good to hear some people like it

This is pointless. Everyone will just run whatever is best for the track, so why not just let the track maker decide what is the best traction? Oh wait, they already have that option...

And if you model tyre pressure, then you will need to model other downsides to it, like how a tyre with the correct pressure rating will have a better resistance to getting a puncture than a low pressure tyre.

No? People will pick what they like. Most people will just keep it the same because if your setup isn't getting along with you then its just another variable. Personally I think this would be awesome, it is a simulator...

What don't you kids get?

You change tire pressure to adapt to changing track conditions. Our track conditions are constant. We'll all arrive at an optimum tire pressure to run on each track in the end anyways. Running more or less air in the front or rear won't change the balance of the bike, there is no point in it.

If im not fussy enough to do this in real life, im sure as helll not worrying about tyre pressure for a game.

Of course it won't change balance. It will change speed mostly. The track conditions aren't constant either...

If we had detailed erosion it would probably help more than if we had it now.
