I'm afraid I'm out for this Season Wally, as my poor old computer continues to give me Runtime Errors when trying to race on-line with the FR3.5

Like the Caterham Mod it crashes as it loads the cars. I am pretty sure its memory related as both mods run OK off-line in Hotlap mode.

Good racing and have fun guys.

That's bad luck, Rob. There may be a relatively simple and cheap improvement you can do, like putting more memory in. How much RAM have you got?

I'm still running 32 bit Wally so RAM is already maxed out. I know its time for an upgrade, but that's not even on the horizon at present.

Can you run an offline race with AI with the same number of cars? You'd think that would put the same stress on the hardware. I saw you trying join on Tuesday night; a message kept appearing at the top of the screen saying you'd joined the server. Wally, perhaps something in the logs that explains why he couldn't get in?

EDIT: Hey look my 400th post. If I can't win at racing I can at least try with post count!

I'm in Wally . . . and I have made a start on my skin also!

Nice work Glen. Seems your PS skills are a tad better than mine, but I'll keep at it.

Hey Joe (make a good name for a song), I tried with 15 AI opponents but starting from the rear of the grid it was pretty much a slide show and the FFB felt a bit wonky also.

Thanks mate for trying to help, appreciated.

Sure is. I was originally trying to make my template look nice by masking out the right areas to paint etc, then that was taking too long so I just brought up the wireframe and used a massive brush not caring if I went over the lines I knew would be cut off anyway  ;D

That sucks mate, we often have some fun battles. Have you tried turning your graphics settings right down? I have reflections off due to being on a mobile GPU as it seems to be the heaviest setting graphics wise. Odd that AC totally craps out for you when joining the online server.

The FFB is wonky with this car unless you use their recommended settings.

Yes, yes, please, Wally!

I have not heard from Rolz, but I'd be happy to keep the DA Racing experience going.

If there is a Red Bull skin I'd be keen to use that in honour of the great Sir Daniel Ricciardo.

I'm noting all skin requests. I'll give each pair of teammates the same skin.

DA Racing is proud to announce it has renewed for a further season with both its official drivers. We are happy to continue our adventure with the same drivers who joined us since our first race and gave us so many satisfactions last season.

DA Racing is also currently discussing details with a major sponsor in the soft-drinks industry (http://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/formula-renault-3-5-additional-skin-pack.6950/) and hopes to be able to announce its official partnership for season 9 soon.

We wish again to thank Kellogg's for their support in Season 8. They have chosen to invest in us when we could offer no guarantee but our enthusiasm and determination. Thank you.
