Hi Nick. I know exactly what you mean - the last time I raced properly was rFactor and since then it's only been AC with its realistic grip modeling that has drawn me back.
You should come along Thursday night for the "fun" races. Season 2 shouldn't be too far away either.
Cheers.

Did you try Blackwood and Nordeschleife in the Zonda? Pretty interesting!
Not the Zonda but I tried the Exos S1 around Blackwood, that was a ball. Managed to get down to 57 seconds for the lap. I think Tsukuba would be a great track for a fun night in the BMW 1M S1, or one of the slower cars. The track isn't perfect but there aren't many smaller tracks for AC yet.

I've put a setup in my dropbox ("setup" thread) if anyone wants something that doesn't understeer so much.
If it is a bit tail-happy, try decreasing the rear anti-roll bar (ARB Rear) by 2 or 3 clicks. That will make it a bit softer and a bit more stable, but because the rear grips a bit more during a corner it won't turn as well and will understeer a little more.

Ha, how's the happiness at 2.06 in the second vid Dick? You look like you're about to either pass-out or destroy someone!
Good vids. What format do you save them in and what do you use to edit them? I'm using Avidemux - very basic but it works well with .mp4 and best of all, it's free.

Had the day off work so thought I'd try a few track mods:
* Prato
* Blackwood
* Brno
* Albert Park
* Phillip Island
* Tsukuba
* Nordeschleife
Of the one's I downloaded, only Prato and Blackwood are what I would class as "fit for purpose".
Brno looks good, but too much grip, and the curbs are just as grippy as the track!
Albert Park and Phillip Island I wouldn't touch.
Tsukuba seems like a nice little track, but the road seems fairly flat and there is a lack of feedback.
Nords is probably the best mod I've played, but the nature of the track would make it terrible for online racing IMO. Driving around it in the Exos S1 was quite an experience.
I don't know who rates these things at Race Department. Most of them get 4 or 5 stars when there is a lot left to be done.

Here's something a bit shorter with some more action for you:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e74xIhSQD04&feature=youtu.be
I think I'll start recording in 1080p instead of 720p. It doesn't matter how good the encoding is, Youtube makes a mess of it.
Finally at work so I've had time to watch it.  Weekend ended up being filled with real-life stuff! Damn it.
Great clip, Maybe, just maybe I'm not the worst driver around after all. The bit when someone flies over your bonnet is classic. Gotta laugh at this game more than get peeved at it.
Quality is very good Guybrush. how long did it take to upload the long clip?? You don't really need to push past 720p really. It's not some wildlife doco. not everyone 'needs' 4K resolution like Marty does... 
Where is Marty anyway? I hope we didn't cyber-bully him too much??
Last I heard is that Marty was spending hours practicing at Silverstone trying to figure out how you were able to hold it flat through Copse. A good thing 720p is OK as my system starts to chug trying to record above that. It would be a lot easier if Kunos made the replay file a lot bigger and then you could switch cameras/drivers. Took about 2 hours to upload the long one on my Ultra Fast 100 kb/s upload speed.

Just tried ESC - back to pits another couple of times after the qual time expired and it has started me in the pits. So that is at least one reason why people might be starting from the pits in the race.

One of the better clips I've seen! Today anyway.. bit long but great example of Assetto Corsa. Good stuff Guybrush!
your right, Marty does carry on. He also talks a lot on team speak.
I was pretty slow with 3 psi in all tyres. Thanks Marty. I saw you in the pits messin' with my race tyres..
I edited out all your "shooshing" Dick. And the part where you started talking about your favourite rom-com's, musicals with Lisa McCune, and suede making a come back. I was just testing to see if the quality of the vid was passable... I'll be sure to make it more interesting during the races with lots of crashing and giving other drivers the finger... not the Rolph Harris kind.

Because of my FOV I normally can't see any of the car mirrors in most cars, so I have gotten into the habit of using the "look back/sideways" a lot. The virtual mirror just doesn't look right - it has some sort of fish eye view to it.
I used OBS - Open Broadcasting Software. It's not very system intensive which is good, but being open source it's not very user friendly either. Manageable with a bit of Googling though.

[youtube]Od_Z70ZaMA8[/youtube] I tried recording a video of a race last Thursday night between Marty, Dick and I. I don't know why Marty kept talking to himself during the race though Anyway, after much stuffing around I finally was able to edit it and upload to Youtube. We were trying out the Tatuus Formula Abarth. I think between multiple encoding/video conversions/YT it's lost a bit of quality. See what you think, I might try recording Tuesday's races. Cheers.

When the Qualifying session time was over and the chq flag came out I hit "ESC" and then "Back to Pits" and this started me in the pits for the race.
I didn't get a chance to try it again, but I'd avoid doing this just in case.
It may also be the case if, after the chq flag comes out you have some fun and spin off the track and it automatically resets you in the pits.... this might cause the issue as well. If that sentence even makes sense!

It was a great casual bit of fun. Look forward to next Thursday. I went from disliking Donington to really enjoying the first half of the track - everything from the chicane onwards I could leave behind but otherwise quite a fun track. The sight of coming over the crest after T1 and seeing cars zipping down the hill into the fast right-hander was fantastic. The track is lacking some graphical and physics details but the layout is good.
I also recorded a race between Marty, Dick and I in the Tatuus @ Silverstonestone, so I'll see if I can get it on Youtube.

Not sure on who plans on having a race tonight but I'll be there.
