For a bit of a break between seasons, and to test this scratch built fantasy track (by MadCowie, for those of you that know his tracks) for inclusion in season 3, here's a fun run of 3 x 14 lap sprints.

you had Guybrush instantly he saw: 'MadCow' and 'fantasy' in the same sentence.
-
If only there was something in there about midgets and baby oil.
-
Hmmmm.... a special skin for Guybrush, perhaps?
-
I've done a few laps around here and haven't found 1 issue, but that's just solo lapping.
Should be fun. 8)
-
Yeah, I did a few laps. Its a nice flowing track. I just want to see how it behaves online.
I put the FUN server up with this combo.
-
Did race this track online a while back without any issues. Didnt have a large grid but thats what seems to catch out those with lower performance setups on some tracks. I had no issues at Mid Ohio but dicks state of the art (only In WA, considered ancient in the other states and territories) computer struggled there quite badly.
-
I guess your testing this track for league possibility, but id like to suggest using Spa instead as we will likely get that this weekend. ;)

Yeah, I'm expecting Spa. The only problem is it's a looong lap in the Lotuses. But still, I'm sure everyone will be keen to see it.
-
Guybrush has a different version than most of us..
he's got Cassle hill.
We've got Castle hill.

The GP2 mod would be nice around Spa? Maybe a fun run in that combo to "blood" Spa....

lol thanks Grat. That's right
-
erm...we may not get Spa at all, gents, don't hold your breath just yet!
Someone mentioned that there was an early announcement RE spa that it'll only be in final release versions. May not be true, but...
-
I hope that's wrong. Facebook is full of teaser Spa shots at the moment.

Perfect combo for a race at spa has to be the Robbins, I wonder if you could go flat through Eau Rogue in one of those bad boys.
GP2's would be interesting though last time I tried it the physics seemed a bit flakey and there are no lod's on the models so a large field will kill some people's computers if not everyones. Could do a street car test or gt's including possibly the ferrari 458 gt2 which is another possiblity this week. Or the old lotus if people want to drive it even though its not a favourite car of mine would be a real challenge at spa for sure.
-
Not to mention the Lotus T125 or whatever it's called.

This would be the safe bet. AC car on new AC circuit. Though we WILL be getting a new car as well won't we?
-
Not sure. I haven't been on the AC forums for a while. I'll take whatever we get as a pleasant surprise!
-
I heard that too Bird.
FB may have the Spa SS due to the F1 being there last weekend?
-
Just on the Final Relase Version...... do we have to re purchase it? And if so, do we get a discount. I cant remember how this process worked.

I'm not sure, actually. I would think not.

We won't have to pay anything for the final version.
Pretty confident we'll get the SLS AMG and spa. Reading Stephanos twits

Correct. The reply to Michaels twit. And also that AC released the SLS clip on you tube yesterday too.
Do you think I have been hoodwinked by your nemesis?
-
No, I thought you were referring to Michael as one of Stephens twits.

No, I thought you were referring to Michael as one of Stephens twits.
Who? Michael?
I thought you where following him? I've seen enough twits to know where this is going..
PS. Peter Reid says hi..

I've managed to get into the 1:03s but am struggling to get lower. I see Wally in the 1:02s and Bacchulum in the low 1:03s. I am losing time getting onto the power out of the corners and the track feels pretty slippery. Do I play with the Power and Coast settings to help with the power out of corners?
-
I just used my Monza66 setup.

Just did a 1m01.3s with this.
Here's the telemetry as well. 8)

Thanks. Feels the same. I usually can tell the difference between the different setups but not with this car/track combo. Something wrong with the way I driving. I think my "understeery" driving style has caught up with me! The frontend just pushes wide and when I get on the throttle The back steps out. I am spending most of the lap "coasting" waiting to be able to get back on the throttle.
-
It sounds like you need to treat the throttle with a bit more care. Push it very gently, then you can catch the moment it tries to let go.
But it maybe a pedal issue.
-
Yes. It is driver issue not pedal issue! I am still very much learning throttle control. Every now and again I get a sense of the rhythm of squeezing the throttle as you come out of the apex of a corner. Mostly I am just jamming it down and the car can handle it. With this car it is much more sensitive - I am either too little or too much; or too early or too late.

Sorry will miss this car club meeting clash.

Really starting to enjoy the Lotus 49. they had solid balls back then. No peanut allergy among those guys. Nor would they give a stuff about your facebook status.
They where real men. But they where also terrified of crashing. It wasn't the crash so much, as 99% of the time it resulted in a fire ball. I think it was this era that was the beginning of the introduction of that expensive show stopper. Safety.
I also like Carrsel hill.
-
Bloody West Aussies. Not only do they sound different, but they say everything differently as well. No wonder we keep them "all the way over there" with a big deser in between them and us.

Back then did the real men all whine when they had to drive more then 4 laps?

Nope, I doubt they did Marty.
But on the other hand, if they where on a pubic server with 15 scrubs they would know completing 7 clean laps is like trying to push a wet mattress up a spiral staircase.

This race is still on right?
I swear this car feels 'nicer' after the update.

Yessir. I imagine the rear end feels a bit nicer, huh?

Dunno about the nicer feeling :P - but I did find that judging the power out of the corners is easier and since a slide is now more controllable (for me anyway - there isn't that big snap back) I am now getting the hang of this combo. I am also braking deeper into the corner to help the front-end turn in. I assume you guys were already doing that? And thanks Bird for the gentle on the throttle advice - that really helps.
I shudder to think what GB, Marty etal will do around here :-\ ;D
Now, Bacchulum, I'd love to see an update of your time on the Friends Leaderboard 8)
-
Back's buggered atm. :(
Touch & go for tomorrow. :-\
-
Is there meant to be a server with this up?
-
Is there meant to be a server with this up?
agreed.
Castle Hill. The T is silent btw Guybrush. You don't have a different track after all.
-
Just put a setup in my dropbox if anyone wants to try.
It's good for a 1.00.6 so far.
Cheers.
-

Not at the moment. I think practice has still got the SLS etc. on it. We might have a couple of Lotus 49 races and then an SLS race.

I'm disappointed GB! Thought you would have broken 1.00 by now ;)

Possible but not likely! I only run some laps last night so still figuring out the best way to take the field out.
-
You'll be up the front so I'll see what I can make happen for you Mancomb Seepgood!
-
Server is up.
2 x 14 laps, then a 14 lapper in the Merc SLS at the same track.
-
Wally I think the server is in Booking mode, with no booking time available...

Try now.

Hey all,
Have some computer issues so might not be able to make it.
Gonna try for a PB in memory.dmp analysis to fix my random BSOD's :-P
Hope to make it as I've put in some time on the car b4 the issue came up!!
-
Well found the issue and I think I sorted it... Will have to cyas online next week... glad I'm going... well see if it BSOD's over night will be the proof if I sorted it. ;D

It was great fun, but it really keeps you on your toes to drive the Lotus. The merc isn't that bad.
These cars - especially the lotus - will teach great throttle control :)
-
Couldn't make it.
Wondering if my SIM days are over already. Get instant nausea and what i can only assume is vertigo when even watching AC.
Bit frightened by it all actually lol. Never felt so disorientated. Fine watching 3rd person. But in the cockpit, sends my head spinning.
Sit in front of computer screens all day, have done so for years, never had a problem. But today I'm getting dizzy even writing this.

Oh no. That's terrible news Dick. I hope you find out what's causing it.
It won't be the same without your good natured banter with with Mar(t)y and Guy. Hopefully just a temporary setback to your SIM racing career.
All the best for a speedy recovery mate.

that's not good mate, is there a prognosis? I would be off to the doc's quickly! may only be an inner ear "thingy-icitis".
-
Yeah, hopefully it's just a ringing in your ears caused by Marty's voice.
-
Bad news Dick. Hope it is just a temporary thing. Maybe the latest update changed the graphics refresh? Or perhaps those skins you have produced are too psychedelic? A friend of mine became allergic to red wine a while ago. Not sure which would be worse - allergy to red wine or allergy to sim racing :o ::)
-
No good to hear Dick, I have had that before turned out to be an ear infection. Was right after a few weeks, and if its more serious ask the doc for anti nausea/sickness tablets over giving up sim racing :P
-
1) ear infection - inner ear - can cause dizziness. But it's weird to get it only when sitting in front of a monitor, it's more of a movement-thing as the circular canals get irritated (or eaten away by bacteria!) Still, better get it checked, as it can get very serious. The reason I've next to no hearing on my right ear...
2) Maybe you're getting older. You may get used to it if it's just motion sickness, the brain is a funny bugger. Treat it with smaller doses but regularly, try to seat farther or in a different height, etc. Don't let it get to the point where it takes hold. Also; this is easy to help with anti-nausea or sea-sickness tablets. They are pretty effective.
But maybe see an ear specialist, first...
-
You guys are awesome.
Thank you all for your concerns and thoughts!
I feel totally fine. No ear drama. that i can tell. Till I play / watch AC.. I should try a different car game... But i'm sure I will get dizzy. I keep thinking it's my eyes+brain sending wrong signals now that I've started concentrating on looking at apexes harder.. cause if i look away from the track it settles a bit. but the moving sensation still starts me spinning.
I've lived at sea for 3 years working on pearl farms (not as romantic as it sounds) and never sea sick,
anyway, i'll just give it a rest for a week or something. I'm seeing the doctor next week.. As I'm still trying to get rid of this rash I got from Marty's server..
EDIT: I'm also blaming my diet. Not enough vegies or something.
-
People change, mate. I've been able to play Descent as a young chap w/o ever getting motion sickness...
But here's one more thing to try; set the FoV (field of view) to something else. I always have trouble with fps games that has the FoV set to low (50-60 degrees horizontal). Also those where they change the FoV when you do something - like GTA V.
Interestingly, I've no problems in driving games as long as the FoV is constant.
The brain is a weird and sensitive instrument....
-
But of the problem persists. .. See a doc.

Or just do a self diagnosis based on what Google throws up.
