(This is exactly how the ballast was calculated in netKar). This means that if you were faster than the average, you get a slightly slower car (or as closely as the difference in car speeds allows). If you were slower than the average, you get a slightly faster car. This way, everyone gets moved a little closer to the league average, closing up the field. Since the list below is sorted from slowest to fastest driver, the average is roughly the middle of the list. So the top (slower) half of the list get slightly faster cars, while the bottom (faster) half get slightly slower cars.So here are the car allocations for this round.

There is about a second between the 3 and I think maybe me and guy should get the standard sc and anyone else with .5 laptime wise in the SC last round. Then the s1 or s2 for those .5 to 1 sec slower as it will bring the front of the pack closer that way and its no a huge boost in the other versions.Also not too sure about the skin method as all the cars I saw pretty much all looked the same. The z4 stood out but even using default skins with some variety while keeping all cars of a certain type in different shades would work better then lots of green cars I think.

Just give it a chance. There was only 9 varieties last night. There was a few blue and red cars not on the grid at all.I think the shade of greens worked well. Just so happens there was 6-8 of you all in the same car. Maybe cause I can see the other colours in my head. When I looked at the times during qualifying it was good to see the colour panels starting to go in order from fast cars (red) mid (blue) to slow (green)If I just did all the 13 cars varieties one colour then it would get hard to tell them apart.As it is now, its peppermint to fire truck orange.I think you'll be disappointed in the default skin choices. Sure the Elise's have tons to choose from but the others don't I think the BMWs have a choice of 3.But I do indeed need to fix up the zip files.after Bird's teachings last night I'll be able to update just .DDS files in the future if any changes. and I'll be able to get them to install directly to the right file. « Last Edit: October 01, 2014, 08:50:47 AM by Dick Forrest » Logged Wally Administrator Hero Member Posts: 11035 Karma: 152 AC Admin Re: Season 3 round 4: Silverstone International race chat « Reply #4 on: October 01, 2014, 10:17:29 AM » Quote from: marty link=topic5.msg7980#msg7980 date=1412116068Looks a bit more interesting Wally but I think maybe a few more guys should get elise s1 and s2 who are in the sc.

It's not a gut feel thing. I agree about the skins. I appreciate Dick's effort, but it did look a bit samish. We could give it another go.

We could give it another go.Yea I know there is a method your using just to me it seems a few too many are in the sc and there is about a second between these few people race pace wise. Which seems to me would be a good opportunity to put more people into the s1 and s2 to let them gain a little time and put all these people a little closer.I am enjoying the series though and it will be quite a different race as I cant imagine any elise getting pole or winning a race at the remaining tracks.

And go at your pace. Just to keep it all fair.

Probably best to just make it a no book server with a car list from this round that anyone can jump in with the password and pick the car they should be in. If you prebook more then 24 people whoever has car slot 25 wont be able to start anyway as the car will spawn off map and this likely causes this error. Still I dont see how it has 25/29 maybe you have max clients at 29 with 25 cars in the entry list which would cause that but even as is the server hangs on me while loading car 25 needing task manager to kill AC.

The median is the time where half the people are faster and half are slower, which isnot necessarily the average time. Anyway, having taken this into account, there are minor adjustments to some people's cars in the first post.
