Do we have any Tekin 212 drivers? We ran 212 for the 1st time tonight. 208 settings transferred across fine but we played around with the new minimum throttle setting and it seemed to do nothing, although to be fair that was during practice so not timed. But we changed from 10 default to 20 and Craig could not detect any change in throttle performance.

Hi Pete,
Have you really only just upgraded to 212?? It came out October last year?
Anyway, I have used it since its release. And found the minimum throttle quite useful. I am not one for jamming on the throttle instantly, so on launches from the grid, setting this enabled me to get great starts without having to jab the throttle with any aggression. Thus enabling me to keep better control of the car since it meant I could keep the hands relaxed instead of tensed.
I know its been a while since I raced now, but those of you who remember, getting off the line was not something I was very good at, and after setting the minimum throttle I found that all of a sudden I was getting great starts.
I guess it all depends if you need it in the first place or not. But I definitely found it useful.
Oh, and in my experience, it only made a difference from a standing start. (Well if it is supposed to do anything else, then I didn't notice it either. But definitely did from standing starts.)

Yup, I downloaded it last year but only installed this week ;D We didn't do any starts, just one practice run. I figured that it would probably add heat so as we saw no difference I took it straight back to the default. I had expected to see some more punch out of the corners as I thought the principle was to control the amout of power at the lower end. IE if you have a rock crawler you want slow speed control without it shooting off like a TC. Maybe I should have set it to 120  |

pete
the clue is in the title - minimum throttle
i have been informed that this is the amount of throtttle applied when you just move the stick
10 is equal to 208 software
lower is slower (ie crawling) and higher is faster but more abrupt
think of this as minimum speed with the throttle just off zero throttle

You are quite right Ian. I re-read the user guide last night and my take now is that it has no impact on TC drivers.
Interesting comment from Jason though on starts. The KO Esprits have a start setting which will apply full stick movement as soon as stick is touched. I timed this 3 years go extensively and it couldn't beat Craig so I am dubious but will test the setting on starts - got to find some way of beating Liam to the 1st apex ;D
