Round 4/Barbagallo Mazda/Caterham Cup Update
« on: September 04, 2015, 02:01:46 PM »

A couple of events have made us look at broadening our current season with the very nice Caterham, ballast and the thought of substituting the Alfa GTA to assist involvement of all those that would like to run on the Fun Thursday nights.

Next week we MAY:
Have a choice of Caterham or Alfa GTA, depending on:

The closeness of the 2 on the upcoming tracks, (not tested yet) and
ballast that will allow close racing for all in these 2 cars.  (At a min, we will be running the Caterham with ballast if Rob can get connected)

Your mission, <your_name_here>, should you choose to accept it, is:

Test both these cars, currently installed on the server with Barbagallo, and put some times up so we can then get an idea:
if they will be 'matchable'
and set some starting point ballast for car/peeps combos


... Good luck, <your_name_here>.

And your host for the night will be our own....... Phil.8

Bruce, I tried connecting this morning with the GTA and still the Checksum error.

I think that even though I'm not driving the Caterham my computer spits the dummy just trying to load them. I have tried everything I can think of within the game but as its only the Caterham I have problems with I am a bit reluctant to start changing Windows, C++ settings etc.

I think I will give the rest of the season a miss so that you guys can enjoy the Caterham. I will still be there for the Cobra rounds. So I still bet my "fun" fix.

Go and practice in the Evora ;)

Checksum error only appears to occur when selecting the Alfa which is DLC so should be the right version, I was able
to join another server selecting the Alfa GTA with no checksum error, it does not make sense !!!!

Tried a couple of times yesterday and got the checksum error (but that was on a different track)
Then just tried 4 times to join with varying results.
T1. Caterham--all OK
T2. Alfa-- Checksum error
T3. Caterham--all OK
T4. Alfa-- all OK

so it appears to be a random error to me

The other night definitely seemed to be the Alfa causing it for me too.

I wonder if it could have something to do with old skins sitting in the folder?

I give up I even deleted my skins folder still no luck. I think Gene Zeigler got it right back in 1995.



    Here's an easy game to play.
    Here's an easy thing to say:

    If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
    And the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,
    And the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
    Then the socket packet pocket has an error to report!

    If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash,
    And the double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash,
    And your data is corrupted 'cause the index doesn't hash,
    Then your situation's hopeless, and your system's gonna crash!

    You can't say this?
    What a shame sir!
    We'll find you
    Another game sir.

    If the label on the cable on the table at your house,
    Says the network is connected to the button on your mouse,
    But your packets want to tunnel on another protocol,
    That's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall,

    And your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss
    So your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse,
    Then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang,
    'Cause as sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang!

    When the copy of your floppy's getting sloppy on the disk,
    And the microcode instructions cause unnecessary risc,
    Then you have to flash your memory and you'll want to RAM your ROM.
    Quickly turn off the computer and be sure to tell your mom!
