I did run a few laps tonight, no crash of the PC so maybe it just does it on Tuesday nites. I am running a new MR local auth for ratings which seems to have eliminated the join lags. One odd thing is that the server shows a higher ping in lobby then normal but in game its fine. I will do a full server reset so it will get a new IP and see if that's whats causing that as it really doesn't make any sense what is causing that.

Last Tuesday, the server started with a ping of 90+ in the lobby, which is unusual, but then it became its usual 50-ish.

since the new server mine always comes up high in the lobby at first then drops after a while

The high ping in lobby is weird, refreshing the server list with Marty xgn in search list my servers and the XGN.COM.AU Thurs race get random pings for me between 38 and 70. XGN Joe's Server gets a lobby ping of 36 to 38 for me each refresh. If I jump into any of mine I get the same regular ping of around 38 even though lobby normally shows much higher.
Searching the AC forums it seems there is another netcode build in the next update so will see how that goes but this lobby ping doesn't seem to effect ingame much. Also since running local MR auth I have not seen any join lags but did see Mael warp a couple times still while I passed him in the Tues practice server. I didn't see any warps last Tuesday race nite which was a good thing even when starting at the back all seemed fine. That is except for AJ who had his ping climb to 1000 but all others seemed fine.

That had to have been on my end although I still haven't a clue what it was. Never had that happen before. Had to have been something on my PC as it went away after a reboot.

Could it have been a steam download, I had a huge update with dirt rally but I have downloads disabled ingame.
Server has been reset so here is the current stracker results for this round.

Should be a bit of fun racing here as the draft makes passing fairly possible at just about any section of the track if you dare and manage to leave enough room for the other guy. But the car is quite a bit trickier over the bumps and needs extra care at the karusels and a few other crests or it will snap away very easily.
-

I have downloads disabled when I'm in-game also, plus I had already updated everything in Steam not long before, including the 10+Gb Dirt Rally update.
-
Could also be windows updates and stuff like that, I know with win 10 it pretty much downloads updates when it wants and you need to jump through lots of hoops to get actual control over when it downloads it stuff. There may be other background apps and also others at home sharing the network doing whatever so its not always easy to avoid the odd net congestion on our aussie outdated network.

+1 ;D ;D ;D
just as well I use (http://rockabillypomadereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/suavecito-pomade-300x300.png) else no roof would mean can't been see with ruffled hair!
-
Which made me thinking: it'd be an interesting option to start w/o a helmet. And random bugs would get in your eyes/mouth, etc, blurring the screen or making you look down :D
-
setup please ;D
-
lol Bruce
-
setup please ;D
I did put mine up on ptracker,but I dont known if a published setup is still there when the driver isnt in the server. Also I think for setup sharing to work you need the current experimental ptracker builds.
I will put mine here later though but its definatly still WIP. Its ok most of the way around but very sketchy in a couple sections. These could be as the car is in the air though or at least some wheels are.
-
Probably already seen but just in case.

PS. I still find it takes too much concentration for me to do practise, then qual then have to face another 3 laps of the race.
-
did some laps this morning and Rolz, (hope I'm not giving away secret training :) ), but it is a nice car to drive... yep I said it. "nice car" and it is an open wheeler, just as well the Sauvicito is strong!
I adopted the , "one gear up from the Lotus" on corners and getting some laps in with out problems. I have been using med slicks, not sure if the softs would last 3 laps.
-
Hey Mr Guybrush!! all good?...noice,,,listen,any chance to run one of your sets with this car?Last set was very good...thx :-*

I haven't seen that one before. Really nice. Casual, smooth, and pretty darn accurate. :)
For me there are a couple of corners that I know I'm not taking right, either missing the turn-in point and subsequently the apex, or turning in too early. But these are bad habits learned in , and die hard...

Overall time on track is pretty much the same as any other race night. I think you are just succumbing to ”Ring Fever”.

I believe you can get a cream for that. ;)

Yeah, nice video. I like his ”one steering input ” and advice to look down the track. I could definitely let the car run wider on several corner exits. Kerbs and Formula Abarth is often not a good combination though.
It's amazing how well you can get to know a track like this just from a computer sim.

Marty - care to share ur setup? I'm 20 seconds off ur pace...

Haha... I think I was there this morning next to Standaam!
The amount of laps or really speaking part laps with this car that I've done... I'd love to know! :P
I shudder to think what GB is gonna pull out.
This car a love tap hurts you bad... it'll really set the scene for the final car and the winner of the green hell challenge...
I'll be eating the popcorn on the sidelines ;D

Yeah. Definitely need that cream. I think I previously had a better "attitude" to the Ring. I am out driving myself therefore crashing. Need to go back to driving within my ability.

The tricky thing is driving within your comfort zone nords is quite cruizy. But then go well beyond that for pace and it becomes hard work. I know GB will be quicker then me again so I need to push harder to hang on hopefully force him into an error or use the draft to cruise on behind til the final straight moto gp style. :D
I tried a few drunk laps last nite and thats a challenge in this car. Made for some brave outside passes on Rolz but then id miss a brake zone and have an early race end lol.
Tyre choice is interesting you could use all 3 and they all have their strengths at some point. My setup is quite drifty so its lots of sideways action through the slower bits but be a touch late on the correction and its in a wall. Hence my issues after some drinks lol.
I will post my setup here when I get home but I forgot last nite though it should still be in ptracker.

Hey I've just gotta work on a few corner exits and I'm there!! :P
Started from scratch with setup, all about wings and gear ratios here to start off with, do half a lap then tweak, and repeat, and repeat, then load up Marty's set at the end, jump in it and gain 20kph's easily in sections... Where ma goat!!! :-X :'( :-X
-
There are two tricky corners in these.
* adenauer forst
* ex-muhl
The weight transfer and camber usually get the car quite loose.
-
Has anyone noticed any issues with connection over the last couple days. I havent been on too much but we did have 10 or so on the trackday server without issues. Thanks to a tip Rolz gave me in pm I have managed to drop server bandwidth usage a fair bit. Seems someone was doing the old brute force attack lol.
Servers have been pushed back out to 20hz where they were down to 10hz while I was away. Also with MR local auth join lags havent been an issue but it could be possible some may face connection issues.
-
ex-Muhle is my bogey corner in any car. :(
But I can't take the Karousel in this one. >:(
-
It would be good to try your setup, Marty.
-
@Marty - tried the one u have on stracker and it really doesn't work for me... it's bouncing around on the ground... I can't see how you got a top speed of 230kph with it as I was barely able to get 220kph
I'm working lifting it a little and using my gear ratio... still can't see me getting under 7:20 :o
Will just work on consistency I think... ::)
-
I've started using horse tranquillizer hoping to break my 14.38.... :-X :-[ :-X

So is the setup on stracker even when I am not there or did you get it while I was in. Wont be home tonight but will jump on tomorrow nite.
Top speed may have a fair bit to do with exits onto the fast sections, there really isnt too much you can do with setup. But if mines bouncing around your probably using kerbs and they are a big nono in this car here.
-
Yeah, your setup's there when you're not Marty.

Re-reading my comment I sounded a little blunt and I apologise... wasn't my intention - I relish the opportunity to use ur setups as they tend to work really well for me :)
By bouncing I meant it feels like I'm bottoming out...
Definitely don't touch the curbs with this car... So not worth it...
As Bacchulum said, setup is there when ur not...
-
Can`t believe my lack of commitment on this track,i have probably completed 3..maybe 4 laps in the last 2 weeks??? I usually crash after 2 minutes ...all the time hahaahaaaaa
-

It's hard... I'm putting in some practice this morning and I haven't completed one lap yet without putting it into a wall. A real problem I have is direction changes on chicanes, especially uphill ones, where the rear always wants to get light and loose and spin me around. I can't seem to get rid of that with setup changes, like damper changes etc. I think I'm going to have to back off the speed a fair amount just to complete the race in one piece.
-
Don't worry, I still haven't done a flying lap. :-\ I've probably done a dozen outlaps though!
-
I'll be very surprised if many will finish the race without a little bit of paint missing! :P
-
I went into therapy last week and I am now driving Nords again without ending the session psychologically damaged...
I have even completed a couple of clean laps...
Given my typical gap to the leaders on a 1:30 lap is about 1-2 seconds I reckon I should be about 15 seconds behind the leaders. So my target should be a 7:20 but backing off to survive I reckon a 7:30 would be pretty good.

I kill a goat for you Gratulin... is all I can do... :-X :-\ :-X

Paint.... I think you will find these far more susceptible to steering damage if you glance a fence.
-

Far out... I'm in a zen state to get 7:27 :o
I've gotten 7:28 about 4 times now... but that's on the edge for me...
Would say to take it safe I'd back off down to a 7:40... but then if you take it safe you make mistakes as well... bah! :-\
Plus lack of real traffic experience has me concerned... every time there are ppl around I seem to choke... on this track especially...
Another thought for all to ponder... isn't DLC3 due out on the 15th?
I know we are ahead of the release, but isn't our evening when it gets released in Europe?
Or more morning of the 16th?
Could it impact our race night?
-
If the timing is funky, I might have to update the server at the last minute, but we'll be alright.

The time to beat is now 6:58. ;D
This car is pretty planted... but very prone to damage.
I did run a few laps on the server but once I got a bit tired and lost a little concentration I started to drive like a total muppet. Will be interesting on the nite as the draft can help you hang on to others. But driving close to the limit a slight error will be a nice smack into a wall so if all pushing quite hard it will be a survival of the toughest.
I ran a couple laps in optimum pro mode for RSR and its quite a bit different with more grip and higher temps and there is probably another 4 seconds in that if pushing and nailing all the tricky sections. Not likely for me to manage that however. The practice server setup is quite prone to graining as keeping temp in the tryes is not easy and so by lap 3 it is quite a different beast to lap 1 on all the tyres.
-
Well played Marty!! :P
-
I missed that before. Well done Marty!
-
wow - that's awesome Marty
I'm too rough on my tires to last on mediums over 3 laps... down to 95% and sliding around...
Hard's work well for me, but I sacrifice the extra grip... an probably a few seconds overall...
;D
-
Just to depress everyone...I think Marty was on Hards - at least the set he shared had Hards.
-
I think in general for this car, hards are the always the best compromise between wear and grip.
-
Well done Marty! The true ring master has awoken.
-
Thanks GB but Im sure if you tried youd go quicker. I just hope my pc doesnt crash on race nite as I have ran quite a few laps with only 1 pc crash other then the one last tuesday nite. Hopefully I can at least give you some challenge this round but quite easily 1 error can be pretty costly and I made plenty chasing you last nite. ;D
-
Well I can almost guarantee I will crash at some point over 3 laps, so hopefully it's just not race ending.
-
Smashed my PB by over 10seconds... and then AC crashed... lol
Just a quick thanks for sharing ur latest setup Marty... wow amazing...
Double thumbs up thanks! ;D

Server's up... but the new release could come out any time and invalidate the server, at which time I'll update it ASAP.

Had to bail out, having problems with my wheel. When certain power switches in my house are turned on or off my wheel turns off and back on. The Mrs turned on the washing machine downstairs and off my wheel went. Couldn't be bothered coming back in after that. This has only started happening in the last few weeks. Suspecting a bad earth somewhere or something like that.

Whoa that is a trippy fault to have.... :o

Sorry for the bump in race 2 Wally.
Was desperate to stay ahead of you before the next sequence of corners, would have been a good fight on the last lap. The road was just not wide enough for both of us :'(

I had something like that happening once. It turns out that there was an appliance with the plug half out of the socket (plug in a cupboard, so not immediately obvious).

Yeah, that was a 50/50 one. In the replay, we were both side by side, and it was pretty clear that neither of us knew where the other guy was. Pity, but oh well. My car was pretty much wrecked after hitting the wall there.
In race 2, I had a stupid moment at the start. I got too close to Freezer (I think), and had to check up hard, locking the wheels and skidding off track, to drop a bunch of spots. That's a bad habit of mine. I've done that in a few races. I need to learn more p-a-t-i-e-n-c-e.

Tough but fun night... Improved my PB even more... might have to see what I get on optimum track settings
(Obviously no where near as close as Marty or GB)
sure was interesting to start near the back on the 2nd race... Wally ur a tough person to pass... :P
I think in the end it was more when you went wide did I finally get past...
This track only really leaves it for the brave to pass on corners or you wait until the straights to pass.
Still love this track ;D

Sorry chaps for the no-show, I caught a summer flu of all things, felt really crap.

Sorry, did all right in prac/qual, felt very comfortable, took medication, returned, flag dropped, pulled over to let others go and have a fun clear run at my pace...
just lost enough timing/co-ordination to equal disasters!... grrr

What happened to the power nap?
It was in the mix, a nice afternoon nanna nap hahaha!
-
It was good last night. I'm very surprised I only crashed once!
Race 1 I got a good start and had my gearing and camber sorted for it so was able to shoot ahead of Marty into T1. From then Marty hung on behind and the gap didn't move outside of around 6 tenths to a bit over a second for 2 and a half laps, which was fun and good pressure. Then on the last lap the tyres went off a bit and Marty gave me a bit of breathing space by having an off. It was very fun though having the car squirming around underneath me, hanging on for dear life.
Race 2 was not as exciting. I was fortunate enough to start third on the grid, and then once again got a good start out of my setup which shot me up to 1st into T1. I managed to build a 15 second gap and thought I'd try some different lines through a few corners... fatal last words. I got hooked up on the inside of the second carousel which spun me into the fence. I had front end damage which made the car somewhat slower. From then on it was just preventing myself from doing anything stupid and bringing it home in front of a late charging Marty.
All in all it was fun, although not the best suited cars for that track. I think had Marty got in front of me he probably would have had the legs on me so I was fortunate in that regard.
Looking forward to the SCG next week and hopefully a return to something that can ride the bumps a little better. :)
-
I had a good chance to possible beat the Guybrush this week but it showed its class, too consistant race 1 after he got a good start I just tried to hang on. I was possibly able to get him down the dottinger hohe last lap but I ran out of talent before that and ended up rearranging my suspension pretty nicely. I limped it home with a badly bent front wheel losing a few spots at the end.
Race 2 I started last and had some fun and close moments getting through the field on lap 1, I did need to be fairly aggressive on the moves but somehow avoided any contact with anyone else. By the time I passed Bacchulum and got into 2nd GB was already 16 seconds ahead with just under 2 laps to go. I tried hard to make up the gap and noticed he was a little damaged but still I wasn't going to make it only gaining a few seconds a lap. In the end on the worn tyres I just pushed on 100% hoping he may make an error and I may make up the time.
Unfortunatly it was me again that ran out of talent half way through lap 3 and somehow I just managed to drag the damaged car home. Bacchulum did get past me at the small Karusel but even with lots of front and rear aero damage I managed to draft back down the dottinger hohe even though I needed a few attempts. the draft let me catch up but once I pulled out of it I was much slower. So I decided to back up a little and try to save the move til the left sweeper where I may have been able to hang on. This somehow worked and so I ended up saving second which was realistically all I was ever going to get from last on the grid anyway and losing so much time early to GB.
