Hey @Interslice Do you know what the fixed gearing and diff for the Porsche is please? The practice servers let you change them but it sounds like for the race it will be fixed. Would be helpful to practice with the diff and gearing settings It looks like the homologation setup applies to the Corvette but not the Porsche.

Hi Dave, it's the 'nurburgring' gearset. There is nothing fixed on the porsche diff as it doesn't have diff and coast options like the corvette.

In theory the fixed setups should kick in on the practice server too, certainly once you have signed up.

Thanks! May well be because I haven't signed up yet. Will do that now...

I'm thinking of joining but never drove any of these(still need to buy most of them).

Which one would be the most forgiving while driving?

I would suggest the the Mercer or Bayer 6. They very balanced and take kerbs quite well.

Let me know how it goes. Hopefully just that sign up issue.

Is the Lambo competitive?

I might be able to join somewhen, so would like to enter the practice server before.

I own the first 3 RSS cars from past events, when I used the Lambo. Is buying the whole pack in the actual Autumn sale still the best option?

I think the Evo version of the Lambo is more competitive than the old version, but I haven't actually tried it at Kyalami. I'm actually really enjoying the NSX right now.

It appears that the whole pack of 7 cars is £10.49 right now, so that's probably the cheapest option.

I've registered but can still change gear sets in the Porsche during practice. Whereas the ratios in the Corvette are locked. No big deal but worth being aware of for people planning to race the Porsche - practice with the Nurburgring geat set!

In a surprise turn of events, we're now going on holiday on Saturday, so I won't be racing you all unfortunately. Which is a shame as it looks fun. Have a great race guys.

Thanks Dave. I'll look into it. I should be able to get the porsche to load in automatically with some server tlc!

Enjoy the holiday!!

I finally managed to get everything running and was able to enter the server. But after a few laps I got thrown off the server. CM said "race cancelled". No replay, no leaderboard.
I tried again with the same result. Then had to go to bed, making no further tests...

Has anybody an idea?
I own an old poor PC system. Could it be the cause? Maybe running out of RAM when saving the replay? I mean there are many cars and skins on the server...

 

[Interslice]

Hi Reik, you can record your temps ram etc with this program. Might shed some light.

Thank you mate.

I consider updating my PC to a high level in the near future to be ready for AC Evo. This would also enable me to finally enjoy AC at its best right before ACE arrives. Hopefully questions like the above are gone then...

It could be worth trying the CSP version. I am using the latest one, top of the list. 1.79 (recommended) has been causing trouble.

Try the other cars to be sure. URD could be ok.

There is also many CSP/CM options and settings to get you going. https://www.overtake.gg/threads/setting-up-ac-for-racing-online.260667/#post-3688461


If you are still having issues let me know. We can maybe install one or two cars without CSP physics if thats a problem for peoples cpu.

Hopefully evo is not as heavy to run as ACC was! I'm pretty sury they have ditched unreal engine.

Checksum issue here...

Hi Paul,

It is flagging the urd bayro.

If you check your email for 'URD' they sent the latest update for the bayro and michigan (and Loire LMP2) on the 15th of January.

The RSS cars can be updated from your account on their online store.

Any other issues let me know.

 

[The Almighty Snark]

Which car does the Akuro represent? Haven't bought them yet nor will I have time to test them before the race. The Lux is fun anyway, just curious!
