9: Simulator vs. Reality
Qin Miao listened to the questions of her classmates and didn't know how to answer them for a while.
What does this say?
Qin Miao knew what games her classmates usually played.
Most people play mobile games, and a small number of them play games on the computer, and they also play online games, such as LOL or CF, which are more entertaining games.
Qin Miao couldn't explain to them the difference between the racing "game" of "ACC" and the racing game of Need for Speed.
Because Qin Miao tried, Qin Miao explained that after a long time, the other side would be very puzzled: Aren't they all driving?
At that time, Qin Miao knew that this thing was destined to be just a very niche hobby.
Since then, Qin Miao has not wasted her tongue on this, and naturally she is too lazy to talk to her classmates.
However, in the face of the curious and inquiring eyes of the classmates, Qin Miao hesitated for a moment, and finally had no choice but to answer their questions patiently one by one.
After all, the classmates didn't have any ill will towards Qin Miao, they were just pure curiosity.
"Yes, the difference between driving in reality and driving in the game is quite big, and the only thing that may be the same is the choice of braking points and the control of the timing of cornering."
"I don't know very well about this, I haven't driven that kind of professional car in reality, it's not that I blow, this is really the first time I've driven in reality, I feel like it's a little easier than in the game, driving a kart in reality. After all, a go-kart is just a brake, accelerator and steering wheel, and it doesn't need to change gears frequently. ”
"Yes, but the only emulator on the market that I know is the "Divine Force" series that does a little better, but the threshold for this game is too high, the keyboard is basically unplayable, and you have to buy professional equipment if you want to play."
……
ACC is a realistic racing simulator after all, but it's just called a "game".
Although the difficulty can be reduced, the organizer requires all the assists to be completed when Qin Miao is running the race, so Qin Miao's competition is the same as the real race except for the difference in physical sensation between them and running the real car.
ACC is a professional racing simulator that can even be used as an alternative to training.
Of course, ACC isn't the pinnacle of emulators.
The pinnacle of racing simulators is the simulators developed by the major F1 teams.
ACC's cars are all tuned by the official and car companies, and everything is based on being close to reality.
But you can't make more modifications on the basis of the car, which means that the car is already locked up, and you can only make limited adjustments.
The simulator that the F1 team uses to train its drivers needs to be simulated according to the real-time upgrades of the team's cars.
For example, after a substation, the fleet engineering department came up with a new upgrade.
The car's rear wing was upgraded to reduce drag and increase rear downforce.
The team's simulator is then able to simulate the actual performance of the upgraded car based on the data from the tests.
And when the rider enters the simulator to practice, he can also feel the specific changes brought by these upgrades through the simulator.
It can also be used to give drivers a better understanding of their vehicle.
Of course, this is also a premise, and not all team simulators are capable of doing this.
Simulators for big teams like Ferrari, Mercedes and Red Bull work well because they spend a lot of money and have back-up drivers who can help the team upgrade and improve the simulator while the drivers train.
And the simulators of Williams and Haas teams are basically able to do 70% of the simulation, which is already very good.
The simulator is really important, after all, the three practice sessions before the start of the race are really not enough for the drivers to get used to their cars and tracks.
So there is still a gap between ACC and the simulators used by F1 teams.
Of course, it's not as big a gap between Goat Sim and DCS World.
After chatting for a while, Zhu Hong's face was not very good, and he called the students who were about to participate in the competition into the double go-kart.
He also came to Qin Miao in a weird way and said, "You also have to come on." ”
Qin Miao was a little baffled by Zhu Hong's words.
But other than that, Qin Miao didn't have any extra feelings, because he didn't know how to look at people's faces at all, and he couldn't hear the yin and yang weirdness in Zhu Hong's tone.
Originally, Qin Miao was not a very observant person, and when he found that other people's expressions were not good-looking, he felt that the other party was in a bad mood at most, or that he was not feeling well.
Now that he is a little melancholy and autistic because of Fan Yue's affairs, he is even more lazy to care about other people, he just wants to go home and lie down now.
Therefore, Qin Miao was very calm at this moment, and was not affected by Zhu Hong's yin and yang strange qi in the slightest.
Zhu Hong found that Qin Miao was unmoved, the corners of his eyes jumped, and his brows furrowed even deeper.
Let's hope this guy doesn't interfere with his plans.
Zhu Hong thought so and got into a double kart with Fan Yue.
The game is about to start soon.
moved his body on the ground, because of the delay just now, Qin Miao didn't have a chance to let Qiu Meng try the feel of this go-kart.
Under the greeting of the coach, the two pushed their cars to the starting grid in the starting area.
A total of 18 people and 9 cars participated in this race today.
Since there is no qualifying, the ranking of positions is on a first-come, first-served basis.
Qin Miao and Qiu Meng's positions are relatively average, ranking fifth.
And Zhu Hong pushed his go-kart out of the parking area early, so his position was first.
After all, he paid for playing here this time, so his classmates have no objection to his position.
"Come on first, I'll take care of the rest of the work." After coming to the go-kart, Qin Miao opened her mouth and said to Qiu Meng: "When you race later, you can be calm, it doesn't matter if you slow down, just run 5 laps safely." You don't have to worry about anything in the back. Leave it to me. ”
Qiu Meng asked with some concern, "What if I drive too slowly and fall too far behind?" ”
Qin Miao glanced at Qiu Meng a little strangely: "I'm just here to mess with time, I'll leave after the competition, and if I fall, I will fall." ”
"Yes." Qiu Meng nodded knowingly.
Then, just as Qin Miao was about to sit in the back seat of the go-kart, Qiu Meng came to Qin Miao and carefully helped him check whether the helmet on his head was properly worn.
Qin Miao was stunned for a moment, and then asked curiously, "Are you so unconfident in your driving skills?" Afraid of killing me? ”
Autumn Moe: ......
Trying her best to control her urge to hit someone, Qiu Meng gritted her back molars and tightened the nylon strap around Qin Miao's neck, and then sat in the driver's seat of the double kart without saying a word.
Qin Miao didn't notice that Qiu Meng's state was wrong, and waited for Qiu Meng to sit down and got into the back seat.
The karts were set on fire by the coach when they came to the grid, and now nine karts are waiting on the grid.
