AC CANCELED: Friday Race: Audi TT VLN@Bremgarten, Fri 28th July 2023

[HF2000]

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED DUE TO TOO FEW PARTICIPANTS.

Welcome to the RD Racing Club.

The Audi TT VLN is designed for the Nordschleife so we can expect that this car will also perform well on the Fat-Alfie tracks.
Join us as we travel to the historic circuit at Bern, Switzerland, beautifully recreated by @Fat-Alfie, for our next event. We'll be tearing through the Swiss countryside with the nimble Audi TT VLN.

This high speed, but tight circuit will require patience and skill, leaving little room for error. Wait for the right moment, then strike when your opponent lets his guard down and makes a mistake!

NOTE:
Going with the 2 x 25 min sprint format for this event.

We hope to see you on the grid!
This event will be hosted by Dominic Ballerino!

AC - RSS FIA GT @ Imola - BOP testing

It is getting complicated now Paul. Would love to start again but the cars have now merged the data. If only i had a copy of my receipt for the cars on email i could download fresh files. I dont think the cars have been updated. Just going to check on RSS Don't worry mate! 1. RSS are friendly...

@dbx71 i dwnloaded the above link.Checksum fail

 

[dbx71]

@dbx71 i dwnloaded the above link.Checksum fail

hmmm, sorry for the hassle... i see it works fine for some ppl, but others get same issue as you... not sure how to fix, might have to call in for backup...

did you check the discussion at the links @Alfred Wayne posted? Lot of info there I realize...

 

[Allan Ramsbottom]

Is the car under Vortex or Viper, i have both???

 

[dbx71]

on the server it comes up as Dodge Viper GTS-R

 

[Allan Ramsbottom]

On my CM its coming up with Vortex V10???

 

[dbx71]

yes, sorry on CM it shows as Vortex V10, but in the Race Dept Emporer system they have it listed as Dodge Viper - I don't think you can see that....

We might need to get Brian or Rasmus involved... I load right in, looks like Robert and Casper were able to as well. but others are getting kicked... rats!

 

[Allan Ramsbottom]

Yes i,ve seen on Emperor its Viper

 

[dbx71]

Brian is in a race, but I'll see if he can help sort it out after. Does the combo work for you off line? I suppose so right?

calling in the big guns: @Interslice @HF2000 @Alfred Wayne

Hi guys; sorry to bug on Sunday, looks like folks are having trouble joining the server. I believe it has something to do with the RSS car names. Allan says he downloaded and installed the real name mod but still getting checksum error...

I know we've been through this before, is there an ez fix? Thanks in advance.

PS: sorry couldnt make today's race, working at home on deadlines...

 

[Alfred Wayne]

1. Download the real names pack.
2. Then unpack/open the one highlighted in my screenshot above "Data_real_names".
3. Then drag the new data files from there into the corresponding car folders and overwrite whats there.

Brian would know more whats not working based on log info on the server, but this should do it.

The last folder "Default_v6" is the original data files that you can put back if you want the car to be back to default.

Yes, this worked for me. I didn't install the names mod yet because I'm not going to join. So I got a checksum error first. After I copied the file above, I could join the server.
