2011 | 24 Hours of Nordschleife

[George Talbot]

I can only reveal a little bit of information at this time

March 2012
40+ cars
GT1 & GT2
24 Hours
Live Timing and Live Broadcast

This will be something special I can guarantee you that......

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

This discussion is getting a nasty tone. Instead of offensive posts & replies that don't help anybody maybe you guys can share some information how to improve your driving in the dark.

 

[Joakim Skalstad]

Keep the tone nicer guys!

 

[Jonatan Åcerclinth]

I hope I didn't unintentionally get the tone downwards with my discription, if I did, I'm honestly sorry :oops:

But to get it straight on what I think, drive on 10% or there about below what you would drive in the day and keep a check for yellow flags. If there is one, try to go easier until it goes away.

Cheers mates

We will be using livetiming, the same we used with the RDLMS. It also provides this kind of information

Have a look here

Question about live timing ; It seems to randomly die after 1-2-10 minutes randomly, all numbers turn red and stats about timing/sectors dont update. Then to refresh it takes around half a minute. Will the LiveRacers fix this in any near future?

Virtual Endurance Racing´s livery, driven by Stefan Seiter, Marcus Noffke, Sebastian Flemming and myself.

splendid design Georg!

 

[David Noden]

In the first post you mention '-Removed high risk plugins (rFdynahud, Leos, TV Style etc)'

Does this include SoftTH (stretched your screen across 3 screens to give you a wider view), it uses the d3d9.dll file to run it so I'm thinking that it may not be viable to use...

 

[George Talbot]

To me it's simple, if you don't feel safe driving at night, drive during the day. The GT2 lights are fine. I did suggest increasing your screen brightness.

My comments were not smart, they were to the point.

Ok ...your the boss
But you could have been a bit more open about trying to solve the problem. ...alot of other drivers think the same....
Goodluck in race anyway....

 

[Georg Peklo]

Thanks.

I found a few problems with added cars.

As you can see the window texture has no transparency at all. The alpha channel should be copied into the dds from the template and then the WINDOW dds files should be re-saved with DTX5.
Other then that, there's an obvious conflict with the tires on the Spyker. Tire brand can be changed by editing the veh file, have a look at the 'gen string' line, there's the explanation.

I've reported this already to Remco, I guess he will be able to sort it out as it's just a case of saving the windows with the correct dxt-settings.

Yes it is. Something went wrong somewhere, but it's an easy fix.

ya...iv already fixed it and i have sent updates to remco.....should be fixed next resync...thanks for spotting problem denis!!!

 

[George Talbot]

Well to solve a problem, you must find a problem, to me and most other experienced GT drivers the lights are fine, most of us have taken part in multiple GT and LMS leagues that run into the night, where 3hr stints are driven at night without any issues.

 

[Joakim Skalstad]

My comments were not smart, they were to the point.

Yes your comments where to the point, but they also where insulting to other members.
I would expect more from an former staff member.

[Magnus Dahlgren]

well now thats the smart comments im on about (Well to solve a problem, you must find a problem)....i have been talking to several drivers who all agree with me...im not asking much......if you allow better lights its the same for everybody....and danger spotted more easily......i dont even know why im talking to you because as far as i am aware you are just an ordanary licensed member at this stage....

Pretty much an unnecessary post from you ending with a rhetorical question. Official answers has been given about the subject in question, no need to further fuel this certain fire.

Its not likely there will be updates for the cars.

As said it is very unlikely we will distibute updates for the cars from our side. We strongly advise to not use any plugins and other files that are not included in simsync updates. If teams or drivers decide to do so anyway, do not complain afterwards
