A message to all Drivers

If you run off track, you have to check to see that its clear before you re enter the track. Do not just keep the gas pinned and pull back on track.

When entering the track from the pits, stay off the racing line until you are up to speed. Do not race on your out lap, let other drivers by. On re-entering the track stay off the racing line until you are up to race speed and do not block any fast approaching car.

Golden Rule

1. If you hit somebody off the track and carry on like nothing happened, you take the risk of being banned for 30 days.
2. Instead, you should always wait for the affected drivers, and that way you can be 100% sure you will not get a ban.

Track limits

1. No more than 2 wheels over the white/yellow line without a lift of the gas please.
   You will be penalized if you break our rules

Note: Please use your full real name in teamspeak. Not doing so may result in you being kicked from the server if an admin cannot identify you as a premium member.

[SOLO59]

Sign me up please! I'll give the 911 a test this week and see how that goes.

The IMSA race here was a wild finish in the wet late. Kinda miss multiclass races in AC Club. Still more than happy to race though

[Raresch]

didn't we do this 2 months ago? (no, not the GT2/GTE event)

but it doesen't matter, one R8 please.

 

[karan733]

I'll take the 911 again please!

One quick question, for some reason some of the other cars in my game have lost engine sound (like the McLaren GT3 and AMG GT3) - I'm guessing this is because another mod has overwritten their sound files or something - but is there a way to fix this does anyone know?

Go to Steam - Library - right click on Assetto Corsa - Properties. Then go to Local files and use: Verify file integrity. It might take a while. Then it should work. I've had this when I installed a sound mod also.

Maybe you're thinking of Road Atlanta? The last race at Road America was on the 3rd May, 3 and a bit months ago, and it was at the old version of the track.

Old setups actually work pretty great, I've been using it unadjusted.

Hi Chris, put me in as a maybe in the 488 as I don't know if I'll be home in time this Sunday.
I'll try to make a good setup anyway given the limited time I have, due to me (not) practicing for the Ferrari eSports series

Delete the GUIDs in the sfx file for each car with broken sound and run the game. This will re-generate the proper GUID files, the only drawback being that you'll have to reinstall all your sound mods, sadly.
The broken sounds are due to AC completely updating the game to fix the 488 GT3 EVO's LOD files, instead of only updating the DLC itself

 

[FischBoB]

The 488 please Chris
