[Joakim Skalstad]

I'm in

And i believe the track download is wrong Marco

 

[Marco Bijl]

Fixed

 

[April Dillon]

Uh, the title says Belgium, but the post says Monte Carlo. Which track is it?

 

[Marco Bijl]

Pff I need to read back more often i see.. Sorry Marcus, it's Monte Carlo. Topic title changed.

 

[MrPix]

Count me in, but don't count on me.

EDIT: Sorry can't make it now, will be travelling to the other end of the country for an early start on Thursday

 

[Dave Coyne]

Count me in on this server please Marco

 

[Knut Omdal Tveito]

Sign me up please

 

[Jim Carvalho]

I should be able to join practice, but not sure if I can stay for the race.

 

[Knut Omdal Tveito]

I see 4 RD servers, but not any F3?

EDIT: I think I have to sign out. I had everything in order, but then I tried to reinstall the RDF3 and somehow my 60's mod is completely gone now. Will have to reinstall and start over it seems. Maybe next week then

 

[Dave Coyne]

Marco is server up ?

 

[Joakim Skalstad]

Marco is checking the server now
Try again in 2-3 minutes

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

If I have the team, I'll try to drive this. Have to test out some new components!

 

[Marco Bijl]

Server is up.

I see I have totally forgotten to make the link mod between the skinpack and the track. I have set it up with default now.

@Knut,
Try this:
Open the rfactor data folder
Enter the INSTALLED folder, and then the RFM folder
Delete the 1960*.rfm
Go 2 folders up, and enter MANIFEST folder
Delete the 1960*.mft
Open the mod manager and refresh

 

[Marco Bijl]

I can make the skinpack link if wanted, but that takes about 15 minutes to put it online, and share it to you guys, so I suggest you go for the defaults now. Sorry, been to busy with Megane skins

 

[Joakim Skalstad]

well... i drowned

 

[Jim Carvalho]

A noble end, Joakim. I just crashed and knocked a wheel off. David demonstrated quite clearly that the key to success at Monaco is simple survival. Of course he had the pace to stay well within his limits and still make us look like we had taken WAY too much fuel. Congrats, David. Thanks for the work you're doing, Marco. Hopefully all the time you're investing now will make your life easier later, unless ISI changes how they're doing mods between beta and golden.

 

[Noel Spence]

congrats=to david ,thanks for waiting dave but it was of no use i was damaged since lap 2 , after i slightly tried to push a hay bail out of the way after kasper had splattered them everywhere , i cannot understand how that would cause major damage to front end , so then i proceeded to pits in lap3 ,but my crew were nowhere , so i said hello to my fellow racers in the pits and continued with the damage , is there a bug there maybe? thanks marco for setting up again, also is there a bug with the replays when i view a replay of the race i only see my car and no one elses

 

[Knut Omdal Tveito]

First event for me and had nice but short race. Did the same as Noel and hit the hey bale lying in the road. Was a bit surprised by the major suspension damage as well. Continued for a few more laps, but the crooked suspension proved difficult through the the chicane and had a major crash on 4th lap.

Thanks to Marco for setting it up and to all that showed up. Will try to be there next week.

 

[Dave Coyne]

Good race all , that is a very unforgiving circuit and we all sustained damage to varying degrees and non of us actually finished, i think it is more of a survival track than a race track .
Thanks for setting that up for us Marco , i look forwards to racing with you all on the next one .
