This is strange, downloaded the track, unrared, dragged over it to steam/blah blah content/tracks
Go in game and I cant see it in game? it is here though, content/tracks/road_america 3.4 fixed it is 100% there.

Bruce rang me and got it sorted, weird folder structure.

Remember Glen, the right pedal makes you go faster, and the left pedal makes you go slower, in case you've forgotten.

Been awhile, all my pots needed cleaning, didn't bother with the brake pot......

Holy cow.
Thought I'd just jump in quickly and do a couple of practice laps before Thursday.
Boom. 8 hour download required.
You've been steamed

Is there fuel consumption for tonight and tire wear? Do we need to pit?

There is fuel consumption/tyre wear, probably need to pit. Also need latest PLP App which uses different set of Start Lights.
Also run Helicorsa App , place it just below virtual mirror for best results.

yes and maybe :)
There is no CPS nor any regs around tyre changes usage, it is all up to you what ever strategy you would like to adopt.
We are keeping the "fun" part high on the list with "too much thinking" on the bottom! :)
I will be practicing tonight, need many laps here me thinks.
-
i have made it an 18 lap race
-
Are the servers down?? Can't see them at all... :o
-
no server...
-
I third that :'(
-
Maybe server is getting updated with patch :-\
-
Umm i dont know why its not showing, I updated earlier
-
Try now :)
-
Try now :)
Cheers, it's up.

If anyone thinks 18 laps is to short let me know :)

Are we still on fixed setups here? The server still has open setups available. If so, is it still just fuel and final drive we can change?

And brake balance !
-
Yeah, I just use my buttons for that. Change it on the fly..Tough track in these on default... ::)
-
Next problem, cant get PLP to work, do I turn it off/on like every other app? Cant see where to turn it on.

Enable it in the launcher, like other apps, then look for a black flag icon in the apps menu on track.
Make sure you've unzipped it to the right place, as per the thread instructions. You should have an apps/python/PitLanePenalty folder

Room for 1 more?

No problem, just make sure you have the PLP App, we use to enable engaging a gear before the start lights.

Just out of interest and also being a strategists, fixed set up is medium compound but if you pit you can choose softs, IS THIS LEGAL ;D

for some reason it gave Daniel G a DNF, I still gave him the round win
-
Odd indeed! It also has me down as driving the Sierra still when I did qualy/race in the E30.
Hi to all, and was a good first time out with you all! Was a good run with Phil at the beginning with him holding the gap steady at about 4s ahead of me until he made a mistake and then later on pitted giving me a fairly simple run to the end. Think I might have to get around to joining the Tuesday leagues too :)
-
Thanks for the race, certainly felt good in the new cockpit and great to be out on track again. Cheers look forward to next week. I shall join back up for the more serious stuff after you have completed your current season.
-
Great to have you joining us DaneilG and also to see old timer Glen73 making a comeback.
Both making a stellar entrance.
well after my aborted attempt to install a Logitech G920, uninstalled the early drivers and profiler etc… loosing my setup and finally getting an old version installed at 7:30 i had very little useful practice that was useful.
I thought my arms were going to give up with a six speed box, but the shifter itself exited, falling on the floor giving my one of my ‘non concentration lapeses off” and the quick refit put the shifter at near arms length adding to the hilarity!
Change tyres on the percentage, I should have stuck with gut feeling, the tyres would have been manageable for the race…
Lapped again, but coming out of the pits with fresh rubber meant I could stay in contact with Glen73 for the latter part of the race but alas, didn’t finish being a lap down.
I did enjoy myself once I was able to get some uninterrupted laps :)
Thanks Phil for the night’s event.
NEXT WEEK I WILL GET SOME CHAMPIONSHIP POINTS!

Never listening to a word you guys say on race night again..You all tell fibs...With all the talk of tyres degrading and working out pitstops I was expecting most to dive in and get fresh rubber.. :-\ I had the perfect strategy if you'd have just played along.....Started 4th and very carefully dropped back through the field to wait patiently.....and there I stayed.... ::) ;D
-
Bj was going to Race but had a last minute nvidia driver issue. Be good to have him back as well.
-
I was wondering why I was seeing you slideways, that explains it. BJ should be fine, the Merc is almost a Porsche!
-
I had FUN last night ,the first time I have felt comfortable in the Sierra after working out a controller setup
that conveyed when it wanted to swap ends !
I think everyone enjoys Thursday Fun Runs as we seem to have a bunch of racers who drive like they
OWN the car not STOLEN it !! Looking forward to next week.

With this bunch of racers Slideways you will NEVER win a race from the back of the field, on bald tyres they could still set
record lap times.

Wish someone reminded me of that also lol
I was sure everyone would pit, was so slippery after my vibration and flatspot on the front from my massive lockup when i made a mistake and then cooked the rears pushing too hard
-
Was it just me or did the cars feel completely different this week after the AC update?
I seemed to be slip sliding everywhere or is it just RA is a slippery track?
Anyway had plenty of fun with little battles here and there throughout the race which usually ended with me yielding in the braking zones.
Thanks all
-
I felt exactly the same Humper, car was the same to drive except I felt like I was driving on Ice at times.
My move up the inside of You down the hill obviously never payed off and I found it a lot harder to actually
get back on the track without spinning out everywhere which put me back down the order near last..

Seemed like you were out braking me everywhere, I thought you had that done easy coming down the hill. Was quite surprised when you just kept going straight out onto the grass.

Some of the mod tracks, especially conversions, can feel a bit slippery. Something to do with the track surface.
