Relocating for work? New house or new city?

I will give it a go

Nothing too fancy: landlord is selling the apartment and so we are looking around for what to do..,

When my landlord did that, I ended up buying the unit instead of moving. :o

We thought about that, but we do not love the place too much... i.e., we would probably want to move in the next 1 or 2 years anyway.

lol I wish, even though open wheelers are my fave to drive I seem to do poorly in them, probably age and a reflex thing :) I can never get the open wheelers setup how I like and Matthew, kcender, Grat , russg, Jeremy, Matthews cousin, the list goes on are all on the top of their game right now, but it is nice to have a car I feel motivated to drive :)
-
I'ld love to join up, GT VIRUS (Running under Shaun Field ingame)
-
Pretty sure I will drive this season so please sign me up Wally.
-
Please sign me up too!
-
Sign me up. Can't wait to run a full season and long races
-
Thanks Wally, put me down as a reserve.
-
...can i claim the lotus 72 (peterson) please pending the 1975 season coming out on top :P

Updated the first post with details and schedule.
Let me know your car choices!

Want to guess mine? ;)

Is there any limit on the numbers, or can we all end up in lotus's?

Ummm, think I'll take the Brabham BT44b, Bacchulum's skin. ;)

Tyrrell 007 thanks

No, everyone can choose what they want.
I was hoping/thinking we wouldn't need to choose a car, apart from asking one to be assigned us for a custom skin.
Car differences are yet to be fully fleshed out in the heat of racing and some cars may prove unworthy or indeed too good for say the more elite drivers to be using whilst others struggle with lesser cars.
But anyway I'm sure anyone dissatisfied with their car choice can feel free to change it.
For mine, March 751/3
I'll need to know people's specific car choices so I can assign enough of each type on the grid.
I would prefer if people stayed in the same car, but if people want to change, they can.
-
Guess a Maki for me 8)
-
Embassy Hill #22 please
-
Maki has two extra erroneous skins, the need to be deleted.
Which are the two skins?
-
Struggle street racing will have a crack, I will let Matt know tomorrow and we will decide cars later in the week. See you all on track!
-
Out of the 7 cars I've tested I felt the most comfortable in the tyrrell, can I have a tyrrell then please
-
Another stupid question: Can we do our own skins (If done by say, sunday?)
-

Yep.

I thought I'd post my lap times and thoughts for anyone that hasn't done much testing. I've only tested these because I wanted to drive something that most others wouldn't eg. Lotus. Out of those tested the Tyrell feels to be one of the more stable cars (for me) followed by Williams and Shadow. Fittipaldi one of the worst, the others were ok but need some tuning. Not fast times but still fairly close and with more testing and tuning I might get to shave another .5 off (and still be a good 2 seconds off Phil and Kcender). Any way I hope it helps people that aren't that keen on these cars all together.
-
Ok sign me in Wally... I'll see if I can keep the engine in one piece :o
I'll stick with the Parnelli vp4 Cheers Dave O.
-
Can i give it a go with my shadow?

To be honest, I just randomly jumped in the Surtees and thought it felt OK to drive. I couldn't be arsed testing so many different cars.

I don't really remember driving that one, I didn't drive it long and probably didn't even attempt a set up. My post was just to say that they're all fairly similar and with some time put in to testing and set up everyone should get reasonably stable and fast. You know when you pick one, then always question it the rest of the time lol. I'm also not saying go get the tyrrell, mainly to say from my testing, avoid the fittipaldi (although someone could make something of it).

Hi Wally, seeing as my fps rate wasn't too bad in the '75's at Imola could you change me from a Reserve to a Full-time also ran/back marker.
When do we need to make a decision on car choice?
Thanks
rob

Say by Monday night.
-
So many cars. I don't have time for testing them all. I tried the Hesketh and Tyrrell before the test race and was going to go with the Hesketh, but when I joined there was no Hesketh or Tyrrell available so I just plonked my arse in a Surtees and went for it.
I'll try to make a final decision over the weekend.
-
Bah. All the quicker guys should be lumbered with the Williams. That'll teach you for so damn quick. :P :P :P
I'm not one of the quick guys so I'll go with that. ;)
-
I don't mind if I have to drive the Williams, Tyrrell is the only car I have tried, sounds like a challenge so why not
-
Obvious choice for Mael and myself is the Maki.
Will look to customise a skin each in the next day or two.
-

Is that official?

On a Tuesday, yeah.
I normally qualify in the mid to low teens.
Race results are better but that's due to consistency, not speed. ;)
So I'll keep my Brabham. 8)

The Lotus doesn't work with the latest patch installed. I joined the server and got a blank screen. Then I tried in single offline mode and got the same thing.
I re-downloaded the Base and the patch.
Deleted all cars.
Installed the base set, and it works fine offline.
Installed the patch and it doesn't work ...

I need an excuse if I'm not quick, and I refuse to drive the rip's, so I'll I'll be in the Fezza.
-
Doh! The Lotus must have gone on a Diet as it weighs null kilos. >:(
Fixed in the morning after I bundle up Freezer's skins.
It would have been interesting to drive a weightless car :)
-

Once all the cars are known, I might pair up drivers by make and invent some teams.

I have had a couple of tries at doing the patch, but when ui go to unzip the file (Winzip)
I select, select all and extract and it says Win Zip Encountered a problem during the operation. Any ideas for the
inept computer owner. ;D
.
-
Thanks chap, but must be still missing something, it says server contains unavailable content ?
-
Try downloading it again. sometimes the file is incomplete, it's happened to me a couple of times in the past

Are you guys using content manager, drag files from your downloads and drop it into content manager, then click on the hamburger menu icon (top right, 3 lines) and install. It is handy, don't need to worry about unzipping or were they go, it does it all for you
-
The server also requires the OSRW pit mod for the track, so that could be your missing content. ???
-
All good, was extracting it incorrectly and it is now working. Thanks you for your advice.
-
Hey guys, come Tuesday night, whoever I don't know the car for, I'll just assign a random one to spread the makes around.
-
Can I please have M23 - 2 - Jochen Mass

Done.

A Brabham BT44B for me please Wally. Preferably the Martini #8 but if that's taken or is requested by anyone else, anything will do, not fussy.
Thanks
rob

Thanks Rob.
-
I'll take a lotus please
-
I am still unsure if I will make it Tuesday, but I will stick with the Tyrrel
-
Patch is always live. I'll just bump here when I update something.
Bump.
I assume everyone should download these patches. It's not optional, is it?
-
It's mismatch free, but one of the changes included pit stop times so if you don't keep up to date your only harming your own performance.
I think what I'll do after the first round is make some data.acds for each car (with CM) and upload that as a patch as well as onto the server so we do start to get mismatches, as this will quickly tell people if they have the up to date car. Otherwise the inattentive may be disadvantaged by not having the latest change, say for pitstop times.
-
Ok. I can do the encrypting and make a so called final patch after Tuesday's round. This round will act as a test for everything so hopefully any mistakes or quirks should be worked out and the mod can be locked down. :D
Great, thanks.
-
we go brabham
-
we go brabham
OK
-
Patch is now 'Final' and is encrypted so you will be kicked from the server it you do not have it.
I've tested it but I can't possibly cover all 17 cars comprehensibly so please test on and offline with your car of choice.
Changes:
Tyres take 18 secs and that is exactly 30 litres of fuel. Damage should be quicker than that. Remember the gearbox is not repaired, use ctrl+g to use auto if you blow your gearbox.
The more powerful cars do use more fuel.
The 312T's 200l tank is now 120l, the same as all the others.
Excellent, thanks Seanus. I'll put the files on the practice server tonight and we can check for mismatches.
