I'll be away, but I'll set the server up on the previous Sunday with a 1 hour combined practice/qually session, then a 10 lap race. You can restart the session whenever you want to, whoever gets on the server first on that Tuesday night. The server will be passworded, and there will only be THREE OF EACH TYPE OF CAR for 21 SLOTS. It will be first in, best dressed.This will be on the smaller practice server, not the regular server, but it will still be called "www.xgn.com.au[/color] TUE RACE".[/size] Logged “You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time” marty Hero Member Posts: 3747 Karma: -63 Re: April 21 season break - fun run - Nordschleife endurance « Reply #1 on: March 25, 2015, 10:51:17 PM » All cars in Wally's list are allowed and also the p4/5 can be used. Laptime wise these are all capable of fairly similar times around the nords so just choose one you feel like doing the 10 laps in.1 Marty SLS GT32 Perch Nismo GTR GT33 Dick Forrest MP4 12C GT34 UnfkNbelievable C7R GTE5 Guybrush Threepwood Nismo GTR GT36 RJM M3 GT27 Peter Reid P4/58 Grubbet 458 GT29 Rolz Mclaren MP4 GT310 Rob MP4 GT311 Shameless C7R12 Gorgak SLS GT313 StanDaam Nismo GT314 Bird SLS GT315 Joe 458 GT216 Krahl 458 GT217 Paps MP4 GT318 Glynn C7R GTE19 Gratulin Z4 GT320 Matthew Z4 GT321 Jeremy 458 GT2222324Race will be 10 laps at 118% fuel use this gives some cars 7 laps of fuel and a couple can do 8 laps. This will give a bit of an option in strategy and how you want to run your race.All xgn guys can get the pass but all others need to pass a time on one of my other servers and so there shouldn't be many poor drivers in there. So far all in these servers have been good with some good racing but much smaller fields in general still compared to the open server madness.Ptracker is needed so I can make sure all have the correct track surface file as the checksum is broken in game atm but ptracker/stracker allows me to view the track checksum of all users that have posted a lap. I noticed that splits may not be correct as it may depend on which nords layout you ran last in SP mode with ptracker running. Make sure you all have the latest version 2.6.8 this is the version that works best with current build of AC and will show correct splits.http://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/ptracker.3509/download?version=8731Car selections must be made by 7pm on Monday 20th, any person that hasnt selected a car I will give a random car to mix up the grid.Here is the stracker link to the practice server best laps, anyone that has incorrect split times is because they are running an older version of ptracker. If you have ptracker and not showing splits you will need to run an offline valid lap to get splits to work in mp servers on the track. http://52.64.20.230:50041/lapstat?track=ks_nordschleife-endurance&cars=bmw_m3_gt2,bmw_z4_gt3,ferrari_458_gt2,ks_corvette_c7r,ks_nissan_gtr_gt3,mclaren_mp412c_gt3,mercedes_sls_gt3,p4-5_2011&valid=1,2&date_from=&date_to= « Last Edit: April 22, 2015, 05:12:18 PM by marty » Logged Wally Administrator Hero Member Posts: 11036 Karma: 152 AC Admin Re: April 21 season break - fun run - Nordschleife endurance « Reply #2 on: March 25, 2015, 11:18:14 PM » If you want to set something up along those lines on your server, then go ahead Marty. It will be easier/safer to have someone around who can tweak/restart the server or whatever on the night.

You have to give people some fear of crashing I wondered if the P4/5 might not be the same as the GT cars in terms of its fuel tank. From memory, it's got a smaller tank.

Damage is a great deterent at Nords as gt aero damage can cost you 30 seconds or more per lap. Its just annoying when someone rear ends you into t1 and 2 of the enduro layout needing a 9 minute lap back to pits for a 1 minute repair. After all there are 170 turns and if its 10 laps thats 1700 turns so youd hope people will take some care on lap one. « Last Edit: March 26, 2015, 01:09:15 PM by marty » Logged Rolz Guest Re: April 21 season break - fun run - Nordschleife endurance « Reply #6 on: March 26, 2015, 12:59:11 PM » Quote from: Wally on March 25, 2015, 10:23:12 PMWhere?

That way people can make a setup and choose a car they are used to. Around Nords the gt2 and gt3 cars are fairly close just gt2 much quicker in the twisty bits and gt3 have 20kmh on them in the quick sections.In a qualy lap gt2 have the advantage of softer tyres but in a race they will all need medium tyres or harde depending on how long people want to run. This is where I think setting fuel at a level that no car can do 10 laps but if they could do 9 it may let someone have a different strategy option maybe run some softs and hards.

That car is an absolute riot at the ring and is the reason I'm posting at 1AM. I was going to bed an hour ago but couldn't resist one more lap.. one more lap.. one.. more...
