Loving the Day/Night format, but is it going too quick??,i counted it going full 24 hrs in about 48 mins??.. @Medilloni nice time John, got to within 1.3 secs but driving it like i stole it. ,could,nt get it down anymore....sooo if you cant get Sol working or you"re tied up busy on Weds John,be a shame but never mind eh!!..

Haha, I doubt I can make it Allan. That time's some way off my pb (offline) so I'd be surprised if quicker guys aren't breaking the 5mins barrier with the Abarth - understandable with the straight line speed advantage here. I tried the Mazda against AI, and the tow off Abarths was unbelievable, should be a fun race!

Headlight problem was 'cos I didn't have 'Lighting FX' ticked, works fine now

@JamKart22,
Ahhh i now know what it was..I was hitting Warp speed down Muslane Straight..

Speaking of Lighting FX, you can widen and I think brighten the headlights if you need.

I've tested the Fat-Alfie tracks for night racing. Widening the headlights might be a good idea for those.

Not to give way to cheating, but you could always play with general brightness.

(at least that works in ATS)

Yep, had to do that

Strange, 'cos if you don't (with single screen anyway), the light doesn't come from the headlights, it comes from the driver's POV, so it blacks out half the windscreen if you don't widen it

Hi Allan,

Good that you came back on that!

I'm sorry, no, as I'm no longer available this Tuesday.

Good news! Colin will host a Lotus 25 at the Battenbergring Tuesday. I'll set it up tonight. It's now too hot there.

JamKart22 · Jun 25, 2023

Cheers Han. A great combo if folks haven't tried it. A beautiful track and a very drivable car. Hope you can all join for a big grid.

Allan Ramsbottom · Jun 25, 2023

@JamKart22,
Cheers Colin for hosting..I will be there..

After driving a few laps, I don't even care that I apparently suck on this track. It's so amazingly beautiful with Pure that just looking at it for 1 hour is worth participating.

Wayne Morgan · Jun 26, 2023

Hi
might not be able to race as im getting a checksum error have CSP installed and active
not sure whats wrong

Alfred Wayne · Jun 26, 2023

@Wayne Morgan Maybe try redownloading the track? I believe there was an update on it a year ago and we haven't raced it on here since then

Wayne Morgan · Jun 26, 2023

yep removed and downloaded again still no joy

Alfred Wayne · Jun 26, 2023

hmm not sure then, being both cars are kunos. Did you reinstall manually (drag and drop)? It has a few layouts, maybe one didn't install right, manual can "solve" that sometmes

I don't know if the server logs show why the checksum failed / if han can see those.

Maybe disabling some app could be it. Or theres always steam verify files

Did you install SOL also? I've activated a checksum check on CSP and SOL having installed.

Reik Major · Jun 26, 2023

I get a checksum problem when loading the server.

Track is a fresh install from the link, so I assume it's because I don't use this eye cabdy stuff?

Yes. You need the "eye candy stuff" (CSP and SOL) to get the day/night transition.
The checksum only checks if you have it installed, not if you're using it so you can "cheat" by not using is and drive in daylight only.
