This is a great combo, I like the track and it is not easy to do a perfect lap should be a great race  ;D ;D

The track's OK. At 21 MB, it's not the most polished track out there, but it should still be good racing here.

The track "layout" is OK and pretty accurate.
The "scenery" fell straight out of an x-box, but I've learnt to ignore that. :o

I now understand what I am doing wrong, I need to look around more, smell the roses and drive more relaxed! I rarely see anything other than what is on the track and only looked at the scenery if someone points it out  :o

By 'scenery' I was referring to the billboard sized, turn arrows at each corner.
It's a bit hard to miss them. ;)

RE-DOWNLOAD the Skippy.

There was an update just after our last run in these, however it didn't propagate to my google drive. It now has so the link in the OP has the latest version. Everyone will need, including the server, to re-download the Skippy.

Sorry about the late notice

Server is updated

Here's a link to an unzipped version of the Skippy so you can try just downloading the data.acd file as that's where all the changes will be. If :-[ your :-[ you're pressed for time you could try just replacing this to see if it removes any checksum errors.

Added street tyres, for a slippyerer experience.

Post by: rooshooter on August 23, 2017, 03:49:08 PM
I just added the data.cd file,  joined server with no checksum error , still only had one choice of tyre SM (semi slick?) and then set my fastest lap  :-\

SNAFU I'll blame it on my pathetic upload speed but I think the update isn't on Gdrive yet. I'll come back here when I think it's finished and we can restart the merry go round.
Title: Re: Fun Run 24-08-2017
Post by: Seanus on August 23, 2017, 05:44:22 PM
Unless I'm mistaken(again) the update is synced now.
@phil.8 please update the server. And sorry about the kerfuffle
@all please download again.

@rooshooter, make sure data.acd overwrites your existing file and if you happen to have a data folder inside the car's folder you should delete that.
Title: Re: Fun Run 24-08-2017
Post by: rooshooter on August 23, 2017, 06:28:29 PM
OK I downloaded complete mod and I now have tyre selection street/semi slick, did a couple of laps and are about 2 seconds per lap slower and the car is  a bit more slippery.

Thanks Seanus :)

Hi guys,

I'm hoping to get involved in Thursday night racing. Do we need to register, or can we download mods and join server?

cheers

Just need to download mods, being on teamspeak also is good. ts.xgn.com.au and poke an admin to get access.

It really helps to be on TS, even if you only listen, 'cause Phil makes it up as he goes. ;D

You never know when the first and last lap have to be driven in reverse by selected few

Road for Bacchulum, slicks for everyone else.

I was thinking the faster drivers might like to use the road tyers,  but I don't mind, what ever is most fun

I watched that video when I first started racing with XGN and made a big difference. I watched it again just a couple of months ago too.

Should have been on ts last night, damn flu and just finished 7 night shifts. Only won the first race because of a few accidents in front of me (and using slicks). The second race was a shocker because of a few accidents in front of me...that I couldn't avoid. Got stuck on the inside of turn one by the end of the race. Fun night thanks guys

I really enjoyed these cars last night and thanks to Seanus adding the street tyre option, 1 second covered the top 10 qualifiers.

Thanks heaps Seanus :)
