I have GTEye and also have to fully depress brake pedal to calibrate.

Can I suggest if anyone wants to practice they use the practice server... the more the merrier!  Might be good to exchange tips, etc. as well.  Not the tip you're thinking Dick.

Yep.  You didn't gain an advantage by going outside the track limits, and only passed Freezer because of him slowing and you taking evasive action.

I tend to zone out when concentrating, so chatter on TS isn't a major issue for me, although I can understand where Glenn is coming from when in the heat of a close-fought battle.  I'm sure this isn't an issue all the time though so maybe for everyone to have a pre-set button to mute TS when maximum concentration is required is the best way to go.

I tend to think that it's all just a bit of competitive fun and I like the community atmosphere that people chatting and joking around brings.  It's great to stretch yourself to be as competitive as possible and to have a challenge which is fun in its own right, but that shouldn't detract from what I'm sure is a league designed to be fair, fun, and accessible to people of varying abilities and levels of interest.  The last thing I want is for things to get so serious that we are hiding setups from each other, submitting complaints about everyone, etc. and just not racing "together" as we do.

If there is a bump here or there, a slower car is holding you up or someone in a faster car with less experience makes a mistake in front of you who cares, it's all part of the fun :)

I will draw the line at Gybrushes echo machine. Couldn't make head or tails of what was being said or how many times it was being said.
I like your paint job too Guybrush.

My Echo machine was a "flash bang" approach designed to confuse and disorientate.  It worked on me.
Sorry about the echo - turns out my speakers were up louder than they normally are.  At any rate I'm now search for a decent mic.

Your paint job looks great in-game Dick.  I wanted to sit side-by-side with you in the race so I could take a look!  Actually, that might be a good excuse for me spinning off the track.

Despite a bit of off-roading last night I really enjoyed it.  In the first race there were a few offs as a result of various bumps but I think the same thing happened to those ahead of me and I ended up in front of Darren and co. and cruised around till the end.

Second race was a bit more disaster-riddled for me but fun all the same.  Darren qualified ahead of me and I was following him into the Ascari chicane (second last corner).  When I went around the first left part of that chicane I was presented with the view of someone who had spun and lay waiting in the middle of the track, so I went straight into the back of Darren who was trying to slow down as well as the car that had spun.  I then had to wait for everyone to go past before rejoining in what must have been in last position.  I came up to the back of another pack this time on the second Lesmo (second right hander after the second chicane) and there must have been some carnage as there were cars everywhere so I took evasive action and went straight for the grass on the outside of the track around the outside of a few cars.  Anyway I ran out of grass and slowly moved over to the track only to find that there must have been another car just beside me as my back end got pushed out and I nose-dived into the fence.  So then I started my journey again and hung off the back of Ysu/Bird for a bit before overtaking into Ascari.  I was catching another group of 3 or 4 cars and was only a few seconds behind on the second last lap when I got a bit too aggressive and a bit too sideways through the second Lesmo and nose-dived once again into the wall.

I enjoyed coming back through the pack though, and despite a poor result in race 2 I had more fun in that than most of the other races where it has been a bit lonely with people quite a few seconds in front and behind.  It was apparent that most of the incidents happened in the first 3 or 4 laps, and after that once the field had settled out it was fairly straight forward.

Thanks Wally for a great night once again.

Wondering if anyone can help me here.

My wireless keeps dropping out every 15 minutes.  When I click the on the bars in the system tray on the bottom right of windows it comes up with my wireless network connection, and so each time I click on it and then troubleshoot and windows resets my network card and says that it's fixed and I'm back online.

Any ideas how to prevent the wireless from dropping out?  It doesn't seem to be the internet connection, just the connection to wireless network seems to reset every so often and it ready to rejoin straight away again but I have to go through troubleshoot to do it.

It was very stable up until the last few days and the only thing I can think of that may have caused it are Windows updates.

I also went into the Device Manager for the wireless network card and checked for new drivers but it says the current ones are up to date...

Any advice appreciated :)

And here I was quite proud of my 27 inch Korean ebay import!

The last couple of days I've been experiencing internet drop outs so I'm hoping that my internet can hold together tonight.  I'm pretty sure the rule is that if your internet isn't working you get full points right?...

For me the golden rule is to give a car widths room to the edge of the track on the side you think your opponent might be.

Would you guys suggest putting the diff lock at 90%?  From what I can tell it puts more power down during cornering with marginal grip?

It shouldn't make a difference but for some reason when it's higher the rear also seems more likely to step out during coast into a corner??? (this isn't the diff coast setting).

Can anyone confirm that their version of AC has updated to .21?

I've tried restarting steam but my AC won't update.  Still comes up as V .20 when I start it.

If you view the changelog and it shows the latest one then you have been updated. Ingame it still showed as just 0.20 but shows log for 0.20.1

Ahh, excellent.  Right you are - my change log shows v.20.1  (AC: Options / General for anyone who wants to check).
Cheers.

Great to see Kunos working so fast on fixes.  I'm running at 2560 x 1440 so hopefully the fix to ultra high res works as well.

It could have been because there were only another 1 or 2 cars on the server but turning off the tyre temp app seemed to help with frame rates a little.

What is the Formula K car?

Would be great if AC had a little Formula Ford to zip around in.
