You can, but you'll be able to change your mind up to the first round - e.g. after the try-out fun race.

Hi Wobblyone. I don't remember you under that name - what was your old name? Anyway, wlcome to the fun. I've put you on the grid and sent you a PM with various details. Come along to the fun races over the next couple of weeks.

Good so see a mod track in the mix. I had wondered if you avoided them to keep things easy. Would love to see Barbagello in there someday. Cheers for organising everything and keeping it running so smoothly! :)

Yes, I do. You can find your GUID in My documents/assetto corsa/cfg/race.ini, once you've joined any online server to have the game record your GUID. It's a long number starting with a 7.

Yep, off to Melbourne with my wife for a couple of days for work.

We had a poll about mod tracks a while back, and the consensus was to use mostly AC tracks for better quality and to avoid issues like holes and timing problems. But occasionally a mod track sneaks in. I would rather see more top quality tracks being made by Kunos rather than more cars at the moment.

I may be in trouble for this season. :(
I think one of my graphics cards is failing.
I keep losing my outer 2 monitors, a jiggle of the card fixes it but only temporarily.
I don't think I can drive with only 1 monitor any more (too spoiled :P)

Worst thing is I thought my CPU/MB combo needed upgrading first, now it's a whole system. :(

I think I'll scrap the bonus points idea. It's too hard to get it right. When I average the RSR world records across the tracks in the season, there's 0.4 seconds from fastest to slowest, so overall, the cars are as good as the same in theory.

If I'm being forced to purchase the DLC for this season then I'm out unless Steam does a half price special soon.
I don't mind paying around $10 for it, but won't pay $20 or more.

Most likely they will do a half price special over Easter, so Wally, please do whatever is necessary unless that happens thanks.

Barbagello should be much better. Must say I was surprised and disappointed with Pukekohe. It's such a fun track even the bumps! We didn't have these problems last time. Hope it isn't an indication of problems with mod tracks in the new release.

And that day has come! ;D Shame about Pukukhoe as I really enjoyed the layout but I think missing it for Barbagallo is a pretty good problem to have :P

I prefer Puke as a layout, but the walls are shocking.

I'm adding the Alfa 155 V6 as an available car.

Last night showed its very evenly matched with the Merc.

I'm adding the Alfa 155 V6 as an available car.

Last night showed its very evenly matched with the Merc.

I think the Alfa clearly out races the merc, even if lap times arent so far apart but the few times I tried both the Alfa is about 1 second quicker and much easier to drive. Funny how the m3 dtm is the slower of these 3 in my tests too yet we have its slower cousin in. I think the ruf and mclaren mp4 are also very close to the f40 and 458 but would still be a little slower then the dtm cars. Also the lotus 2 eleven has always been very close to the ktm and only the group A would be 4 seconds slower then quickest cars at nurburgring. If all those cars were available there would be maybe 2 seconds between them but the slower lap time cars would have a nice straight line advantage to mix things up a bit.

Id really be surprised if anyone chose the grp a car, I will choose one thats a bit of a challenge so unlikely to win the season but even though the grp a is the most fun to drive of this group its just not got much hope with quicker guys in any other car so id be unlikely to pick it and doubt anyone else will.

Did you look at the fun run race results? Alfa, Merc, Alfa, Merc...
Title: Re: Season 6 Details and Sign Up Thread
Post by: marty on March 19, 2015, 10:06:48 AM
When I raced the Alfa at Spa it was clearly outpacing the merc. I slowed on purpose to let perch by to see how they compared. Perch and I are normally pretty close in most cars and the advantage out of the slower corners and off the line is why If I was to pick a car to give the best chance of winning the season that would be it. If these 3 dtm cars raced in the same season I think the only races the alf's wpuldnt have won would be if they didnt finish.

Of the tracks maybe Mugello wont suit it but everywhere else it would be the quickest around those tracks time wise. The 458 off the line will be quick and so if it gets ahead of any dtm cars they will need to work hard to get back past even if a second or 2 a lap quicker. Ktm is a funny one kind of in the middle of these similar times better cornering but not very quick down straights.

Pukekohe was a pretty awkward track with so many cars flying off the road the race results I dont think mean too much. In the DTM cars getting speed out of them the Alfa is the easiest and just needs some setup work to deal with turn in a bit better. Next is the Merc and if the BMW dtm was there its the trickiest to drive by far and would still be unlikely to get someone to choose it over those 2.

I will likely pick some old manual supercar would love a ruf but may need to go with the f40 ;) Ruf is normaly a little slower around a lap then an f40 but less then a second just so much more fun to drive.

Looking at the 1993 dtm season when these 3 cars competed the Alfa dominated, with the merc its only so so challenger and the m3 was nowhere near them and this is similar to how I noticed these cars potential in AC.

http://www.alfa-models.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=152&Itemid=100&lang=en

It seems that the m3 dtm has been slowed down with the 1.1 update likely to match the results of this season. The e30 was racing in 1988 already and was doing well then but by 1993 with the 4wd Alfa it was the way to go. Just like the Aussie touring car series in that era the nissan gtr was dominating thanks to its 4wd system and its also the main reason 4wd isnt allowed in gt3 racing and so the nissan is only rwd. It would be unbeatable if it was allowed to be 4wd in that class unless given a severe power handicap.

I think if anyone can take the punishment of listening to the alpha for a season, they deserve the pace! ;)
(To me it seemed to be easier to go faster with, too)

Yeah, why not the porky too?  If it's similar-paced?

Here is a preview of the racing we may expect from a race I had the other day on the practice server was quite fun even though I was in the car that can get the quickest lap around the track I couldn't quite get the win. Video has a couple graphics card corruptions as I clocked it a little high in the recording  ;D

The merc vs the 458 is still quite a challenge and at some of the tracks with even longer straights it will be even more of a challenge.

[youtube]1slVaFpJTyA[/youtube]

Still its not like the other season where driving an Evora GTC vs a 599 there was no hope here its possible to pass just not easy especially if the guy ahead is a solid driver hitting his marks. Also here the guy in the red 458 was with a 250 ping so shows a solid higher ping is fine to race with its only any ping that climbs a little that still causes the bad warping.

No, this season is 3x sprints to regather the field. Plus the 3rd sprint has a short qually (only time for abut 3 or 4 hot laps) to further mix the grid a little.

There's been a fix released for the walls at Pukekohe. I'll test the track by bashing into the walls sideways, backways and frontways, and if it looks good, I'll put Pukekohe back in place of Barbagallo in the final round, as I prefer the Pukekohe layout (especially the sweeping esses onto the finish straight and turn 1).
Title: Re: Season 6 Details and Sign Up Thread
Post by: marty on March 23, 2015, 08:20:52 PM
I think Barbagallo is much better track, the walls werent an issue for me though many others did launch of them at pukekohe, the track surface and kerbs are pretty poor I think. To me there isnt much to that track that is really even close to ac official content standards. Barbagallo and Baskerville are 2 much better tracks plus there are quite a few much better mod tracks that could be used.

Was great to see Rainmaker (and Richo also) make the effort to fix the problems with Pukekohe.  :)
I love Gratulin's thread which lists all the latest versions of tracks, maybe we could add a section for Australian and Kiwi tracks when we get more of them   :P

Stan, it was your problem report that did it! The video pinpointed the problem in the nicest possible way :)

There are almost enough tracks for an ANZ track season. Surfer's is the main disappointment at the moment since it is a pretty good track (not the real life layout but the conversion job) except for the flat curbs. And obviously there is no suitable Bathurst yet.
Title: Re: Season 6 Details and Sign Up Thread
Post by: Wally on March 23, 2015, 10:46:51 PM
Yeah, that was a great video Stan :)

Barbagallo might be a nicer looking track, but I like the Pukekohe track layout much better. Its inclusion is subject to a green tick in testing the new version.

I'm all good to go. except for the DLC lol. Which I won't be getting till Thursday. I've blown the budget sky high with this new bmw and, typically, the fridge just died as well so that screwed me big time. I'm in damage control this month.

OK, welcome back in that case :)

Your GUID is a long number starting with 7 in your Assetto Corsa race.ini. It identifies you on the grid.

Make sure you read this: http://www.xgn.com.au/index.php?topic=307.0

In particular make sure you install the Pit Lane Penalty app. If you want to join in season 6, you also need to choose one of the available cars: http://www.xgn.com.au/index.php?topic=822.0
