My lap was done on 1.10
I've updated to 1.11 now
Now you just have to break your PB to test it!!!

Just checked my readme file and I am running v1.11 of the track, I think what could be the issue is you may have ran an older version of the track which saved your mp sector times and these are carrying on to the current version. You may need to try and find a way to delete the sectors form this track in ptracker to have your sector times reset.

OK. After looking at Bacchulums stats and then Marty's stats they both are now showing the same split times (relatively speaking) as mine and Wally's. To see Marty's splits you need to look at the Session data in stracker because his PB was done with the old splits. Marty's most recent laps show the same relative splits as me, Wally and Bacchulum.

Could I suggest that everyone check their track version by looking in readme.txt file in the track folder. It should show version 1.11

If the splits are wrong then we could have timing problems on race night.

Yes, good point. Please make sure you have downloaded 1.11 from the opening post.

The strange thing is that I always had v 1.11 and haven't downloaded a newer version since I put the server up. So maybe there is just some weirdness going on with the split times on ptracker. Maybe if someone else runs laps first with the other split times the server registers those splits? My last session I came in after Bacchulum was already in so possibly he set sector times on stracker for those sessions.

I think what you suggested about clearing the splits out of ptracker was possible the problem/solution.

There's some fine lap times on the list at the pointy end!

Thanks Dave, will give it a go at the next practice.   Here i am "playing" a  simulator and one thing that is holding back some time is being "scared" on the blind corners being so low in this car, hhaha a funny world... I have been running Phils, thanks to that I a getting laps down, just need practice

Is there meant to be a server up for this?

Can't seem to find one.

Always someone wanting a run when I am doing something with the server, sorry will be up again soon but I noticed I was being charged $5usd per month for being over my storage limit and I just found the cause of this. The server has 20GB storage for no extra charge and beyond this its charged, yet for no reason the total usage was over 26GB. After looking into it the winSxS directory was the culpirate chewing up all the data for no reason.

After finding this I found a way to do a clean up in win server 2008 that's being run. This extra stored data would end up costing about $60USD per year beyond what the prepaid costs are so well worth getting rid of it as its a cost with no benefits.

Cleanup has pretty much finished and has recovered 10GB of storage space, I will do another quick scan and then get servers up again.
