rF2 Lotus Ford Cortina @ Brands Hatch - Thu 19 Oct 2023

[Denis Betty]

Just realised I don't have the brands hatch dlc

Aw mate, it's worth it.
Great track imo.

The track can be purchased as part of a 'British Track Pack' (Brands Hatch, Thruxton, Croft & Donington Park - £17.18).

Unfortunately, for me, I've yet to race on any of them in rfactor, so please pencil me in with a biro.

I want some "Tina" -sign me up

@Denis Betty
As mentioned here, I'm not able to use voice chat on Discord. I think the reason is due to being removed from the 'premium' account on discord, despite using it this year. My RD account also appears to be connected to Discord. Any ideas?

@Neilski do you have any idea what's going on here.
Should @pattikins somehow unlink his RD account and start from the beginning?

 

[Denis Betty]

I coulda sworn I posted this earlier but I guess I didn't hit Post reply.
Have you tried logging out and back in to Discord?

There is also a Show Mute Channels button somewhere which may affect it.

 

[pattikins]

I've tried disabling the Discord account, & re-enabling.

Just tried it. I think it has worked. I guess I will know tomorrow. Thanks for your help.

I'll take a peek but unlink+relink is probably generally worth a try when this is playing up.

Grid slot please.

Ah just saw this.
You appear to have two separate accounts (with different IDs) by the name "pattikins", both of which have Premium access right now

 

[Denis Betty]

Grid slot please.

That's great news Jim.

The bad news is that I have to work tomorrow evening.
There is a slight chance that @Jimlaad43 might be able to sit in for me.
Or if there are any ex rF2 staff available to help out... @Yves Larose, or @Stephen Gibb spring to mind?

If not, you guys will have to cope without me (not difficult). Just vote the server around at the appropriate times. Don't forget to make sure everybody has finished racing in R1 before restarting warmup.

Sorry for the late notice. I thought I was setting up tomorrow for a gig Friday. My error completely.

 

[Steve Le Gallez]

I'm in please

 

[Denis Betty]

There seems to always be something else.....fell off my bike this morning and I've broken my collarbone.... need to give this a miss.

 

[Luca Ciarfella]

That's a bummer. Heal soon my friend. Fell off my bike last week but thankfully no damage. So easy to do.

 

[Monkey T]

Sorry, I have to sign off.
I had an early morning shift and I am now beginning to nod and fall to sleep in my chair because my sleep wasn't the best.

Thanks for organising the race Denis. Unfortunately, I had yet another bad VR experience - despite finding 30% more performance over my old setup (fewer visible cars & no shadows...). So instead of getting something like this:

based on a 21 car AI VR test, I got this with just nine cars online:

The first magenta line represents 90 fps, the second is 45 fps... the frames were up & down like a yo-yo during the race, especially in the corners . Neither the cpu (thread) or gpu are overworked. I don't have any online/performance issues with any other game that I play, so I'm left with rfactor 2 being rfactor 2 - basically I don't have a clue what is happening so I'm throwing in the towel.
