Chapter 9 9: Simulator and Reality
Author: lqlianqing
Qin Miao listened to the students' questions and didn't know how to answer them for a while.
How do you say this?
Qin Miao knows what games his classmates usually play.
Most people play mobile games, and a small number of people play games on computers, 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" "ACC" and the racing game "Need for Speed".
Because Qin Miao tried it, after Qin Miao explained for a long time, the other person would say in confusion: Aren't they all driving?
Qin Miao knew at that time that this thing was destined to be a very niche hobby.
From then on, Qin Miao stopped wasting his time on this and naturally didn't bother to talk to his classmates.
However, facing the curious and probing gazes of his classmates, Qin Miao hesitated for a moment and finally had no choice but to speak and patiently answer their questions one by one.
After all, the students didn't have any ill intentions towards Qin Miao, they were just purely curious.
"Yes, there is a big difference between driving in reality and driving in games. The only similarities may be the selection of braking points and the control of the timing of turning."
"I'm not very sure about this. I've never driven a professional racing car in real life. I'm not bragging. This is really my first time driving a car in real life. I feel that driving a kart in real life is a little easier than in the game.
.After all, a go-kart only has a brake, accelerator and steering wheel, so you don’t need to change gears frequently.”
"Yes, but the only simulators on the market that I know of are the Assetto Corsa series that are better. However, the threshold for getting started with this game is too high. You can't play it with a keyboard. If you want to play it, you have to buy professional equipment.
"
…
In the final analysis, "ACC" is a realistic racing simulator, it is just called a "game".
Although the difficulty can be lowered, when Qin Miao runs the race, the organizer requires that all assistance is turned off, so when Qin Miao and the others race, except for the physical difference between running a real car, it is the same as a real race.
"ACC" can be called a professional racing simulator and can even be used to replace training.
Of course, "ACC" is not the pinnacle of emulators.
The pinnacle of racing simulators are the simulators developed by the major F1 teams.
ACC's cars are all tuned by the official government and car companies, and everything is focused on being close to reality.
But you can't make more modifications on the basis of the car. It's equivalent to the car being locked, and you can only make limited adjustments.
The simulator used by the F1 team to train drivers needs to conduct simulation training based on the real-time upgrades given by the team to the car.
For example, after a certain station ended, the team engineering department came up with a new upgrade plan.
They upgraded the car's rear wing, which reduced drag and increased the car's rear-end downforce.
The team's simulator can simulate the actual performance of the upgraded car based on the data obtained from the test.
And when drivers enter the simulator to practice, they can also feel the specific changes brought about by these upgrades through the simulator.
It can also help drivers understand their cars better in this way.
Of course, there are preconditions for this, and not all team simulators can do this.
The simulators of big teams like Ferrari, Mercedes and Red Bull are very effective because they spend a lot of money and have reserve drivers who can help the team upgrade and improve the simulator on the team simulator while the official drivers are training.
The simulators of teams such as Williams and Haas can basically achieve 70% 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 adapt to their cars and track.
Therefore, there is still a gap between "ACC" and the simulator used by F1 teams.
Of course, there is not as big a gap between "Goat Simulator" and "DCS World".
After chatting for a while, Zhu Hong called the students who were preparing to participate in the competition into the double kart with a bad expression.
He came to Qin Miao angrily and said, "You have to work hard too."
Qin Miao was a little confused by Zhu Hong's words.
But other than that, Qin Miao didn't have any extra feelings, because he didn't know how to read people's faces at all, and he couldn't hear the yin and yang in Zhu Hong's tone.
Originally, Qin Miao was not a very observant person. If he noticed that someone else's expression was not good-looking, he would at most think that the other person was in a bad mood or was feeling unwell.
Now that he is a little melancholy and autistic because of Fan Yue's incident, he is even more lazy to care about other people. Now he just wants to go home and lie down.
So Qin Miao was very calm at the moment and was not affected by Zhu Hong's strange aura at all.
Zhu Hong noticed Qin Miao's unmoved look. The corners of his eyes twitched and his brows furrowed deeper.
I hope this guy won't affect his plans.
Zhu Hong thought so and got into the double go-kart with Fan Yue.
The game will start soon.
He moved his body on the ground. Because of the delay, Qin Miao didn't have the chance to let Qiu Meng try out the feel of this 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 the competition today.
Since there is no qualifying competition, the ranking of positions is on a first-come, first-served basis.
Qin Miao and Qiu Meng's positions are relatively average, ranked fifth.
Zhu Hong pushed his kart out of the parking area early, so his position was ranked first.
After all, he paid for this trip, so the students didn't have any objections to his position.
"You do the first leg, I'll be responsible for the rest." After arriving in front of the kart, Qin Miao said to Qiu Meng: "You can be calm during the race later. It doesn't matter if you go slower. Finish the race safely."
Just 5 laps. You don’t have to worry about anything else. Leave it to me."
Qiu Meng asked worriedly: "What if I drive too slowly and fall too far?"
Qin Miao glanced at Qiu Meng strangely: "I'm just here to kill time. I'll leave after the competition. If I fall behind, I'll fall behind."
"Yes." Qiu Meng nodded clearly.
Then, just as Qin Miao was about to sit in the back seat of the 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 unsure of your driving skills? Are you afraid of killing me?"
Qiu Meng:……
Trying her best to control her urge to hit someone, Qiu Meng gritted her back molars and tightened the nylon belt around Qin Miao's neck, and then sat in the driving seat of the double go-kart without saying a word.
Qin Miao didn't notice anything was wrong with Qiu Meng's condition, and got into the back seat after Qiu Meng sat down.
The karts had already been set on fire by the coach when they arrived at the grid, and now nine karts were waiting on the grid.
