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......

 

[Petter Kaasa]

Some guys have earlier even complained about lag when someone joins

 

[Jarno Hogeweg]

8:59.8xx, wow thats slow

Ghehe he's so used driving 8-minute laptimes, I'm sure 'we' did a 7.59

 

[Remco de Wildt]

I know it was a closed session but as long as I have been at RD that is the first time I can remember it being used and doesent help if like me you are discoed.

This is indeed the first time, we have done this because the Nords is too tricky to have a small freeze when drivers jumps in and out of the server, above that it is really annoying when drivers do that in the first place.

In your situation, I'm sorry you had a disco, nothing we can do about that now. But you will be on the grid as last of the GT1, so that is not too bad. And you got 24 hour to make it up

 

[Martin Bulgin]

Ah ok guys thanks for the explanation thats fair enough, I start at the back of the GT1's, I'm happy with that

 

[Kenneth Jeanty]

Is there another sync planned before the race?

Cheers

 

[Joakim Skalstad]

Yes

 

[Simon Melhuish]

What about live timing? doesnt seem to be any communication on this subject.... its very very important that we have live timing working.

Seems the livetiming is more important than the race...
Dont worry about it, it will all be fine

Tonight is the second qualy round, when that one is finished there will be more information available about the race tomorrow with everything that comes and go with it.

 

[Borna Spoljaric]

Seems the livetiming is more important than the race...

Well actually, in a way, it is. Live timing can help servers rapidly because there will be no spotter spectators on server and all info needed would of be seen on the timing that needs to be reported to driver. Otherwise, it can cause server to crash with 80+ people on server and so on...

Dont worry about it, it will all be fine .

If its live racers then it wont... it broke in RDLMS Le Mans, it hasnt worked in any test race for this event and it died again last night for GT1 qual.

Live timing is important because sometimes when you driver swap the in game timing can break or show wrong readings. So a working live timing is very important so team mates can communicate via ts on gaps or if your racing the car you see on the track.

 

[Remco de Wildt]

Server is up and running

Maybe someone will be so helpful to suggest a solid timing solution suitable for endurance racing with driver changes? I'll admit I have a personal interest in that too.

rfactor monitor, two other leagues my team compete in uses it and its very good

 

[Simon Melhuish]

So i go to watch live timing to see how my team is doing and what a surprise

25 minutes and counting of "connecting"

 

[Remco de Wildt]

I think we all already know the issues with Liveracers, have admitted that more then a week ago. And also said that it can not be solved on a short term....

Really no need to fill the Q & A with only livetiming issues!

Like said do not worry about it, it will be fine!

Actually, i dont have any problems with the livetiming.
Looking at the timings of the qually also now and running very smoothly, in rfactormo...
