I have updated the server (remotely, not tested) with the Mazda MX-5 V1.1 and boxed cars skins...

I have honestly only driven 1 lap of the new version but I new by the 2nd corner at Mosport that they have nailed it. It is probably quite unrealistic with too much grip but what a hoot to drive.

"hoot to drive" the most important part. Thanks Rob.
did you drive it offline or on our server?

Off-line Bruce. I tried to join the xgn server but the car was red so couldn't join.

I d/led from Race Dept and the zip file had no folder name so I just used the old folder name for the v1.01 (Mazda_Miata). The xgn server car is Mazda_Miata v1.1) so not sure if I named the folder incorrectly or the files from one of the other download servers had a different folder name. When checking other on-line race servers I noticed that they all seemed to be named "Mazda Miata NA" (or something like that).

I'm a bit of a neanderthal when it comes to computers so I think I'll leave it to you more savvy guys to nut it out.

It must be my rubbish driving Andrew.

I have a heck of a job keeping the back end in line with lift oversteer going into high speed corners.
Why lift then :D

surprised there wasn't a parent directory for the mod, I unzipped it locally on my MAC, and it is named "mazda_miata_v1.1" so I named it so, in the server setup....
I would change your local directory to mazda_miata_v1.1
and Gratulin, it is up and running, and Rob has attempted to connect?  :o
I will leave until I get home and no urgency as it is Tuesday Race day :)

I find with any over steer if you apply a touch of throttle as it starts to slide you can hold it steady.

Look forward to trying the new virgin out.  I thought the original had a bit too much front end grip.

Having no success in getting the server running with the miata v1.1, alfa and Mosport...
May get time today, tonight is out... may have to call upon others to setup a server for Thursday night's race.
Sorry for any inconvenience.

Bruce/Andrew, did a few laps in the Thursday Night XGN Server in the Mazda, everything appears to be working fine.

I think my initial enthusiasm for the Mazda has been tempered somewhat with the level of grip now with v1.1. Way to grippy with the modern performance tires (whatever they are called) but still heaps of fun. If I get a chance I will try it with the 90's street tires.

B l##dy PCs!
I have been falling to connect continuously on each change to the server, it was my client!
It has been getting slower loading and a couple of steam apps have need fixing through the verification tool.
I just fixed AC and fixed.
Need advice on SSD.
See you tomorrow night.
