S22 - General Discussion

[David Turnbull]

no refueling in presto, we dont allow it, so pit stops are only for tyre change.

the races are standing start, no formation lap.

practise starts are after qualifying and before race 1, admin will change the sessions so you dont need to vote.

the main procedure is you go on grid, lights change, we race, nothing out of the ordinary to be honest, youll pick it up fine in your first race.

 

[Andrew Hollom]

Phew - I thought I was going mad not knowing how to do it!

So, at the end of race 1, we go straight into a 5 minute warmup and then straight into race 2?

Note to self - don't over-think!

 

[David Turnbull]

yeah youll have around 7 minutes break between each race

honestly though we will keep you right when its race day, just turn up and youll see its all easy except the driving part lol

my first online race in months was last night, and i have to say, i really love this leagues structure, the practice starts and to races, really enjoyed it, thanks david, would be epic if next season we use the new and free mclaren mp4\13, because yeah ill be definitely participating in next season

 

[patchedupdemon]

i cant find the presto server, am i blind or has something happened

 

[David Turnbull]

ive restarted the router and server pc again and checked all ports, everything looks good at my end so this is wierd

 

[patchedupdemon]

Thanks for checking, I will check again later on tonight if I have time to see if I can now view it

 

[Andrew Hollom]

I can see it in the server list, but haven't had time to connect to it yet. Thanks for sorting it out David.

 

[Rob Swindells]

My connection to the practice server dropped twice in 10 minutes tonight. I didn't lose connection to the internet.

 

[David Turnbull]

sorry, no clue why this has happened, the internet has been fine here and the server pc shows nothing in event logs, lets put it down to a network gremlin

 

[MOOOOOOOOOSCHT]

This also happend to me, but it was also stabile for more than a hour too.

 

[patchedupdemon]

at suzuka is it intended that we can use drs everywhere

 

[David Turnbull]

yes in practise and qualifying it can be used everywhere, in the races it will be restricted to drs zones

 

[patchedupdemon]

yes in practise and qualifying it can be used everywhere, in the races it will be restricted to drs zones

thanks for the reply

 

[patchedupdemon]

just letting you know david the server is down again

 

[David Turnbull]

oh, ill have a look, probably windows updates, i had a few on my pc last night, forgot to check the server pc. thanks

 

[patchedupdemon]

With every week that passes with this car, I’m rewarded with smile upon smile as the physics seem to just get deeper and deeper, with every track I’m noticing new aspects to the physics that I hadn’t noticed before, this car is my all time favourite sim car.
Just wish I could decide on having the ride heights at their lowest or having a good amount of rake and compensating with front downforce stocsteady the rear.

Loving it, massive thanks to the guys that organise this series

 

[Andrew Hollom]

A quick question with regard to starting lights - is there a way to get them duplicated on the HUD?

I currently don't have any trouble in race 1, but in race 2, unless they are repeated further down the grid, it is hard to know when they've changed. On top of this, in the COTA track, the lights seem so dim that they are hard to see regardless, so having them on the HUD would be useful, if possible.

Thanks in advance!

 

[Raymond van Soest]

I don't think the starting lights can be on the hud atm. What you can do is looking at your laptime counter in the hud. It will start counting when the lights are out.

 

[patchedupdemon]

Quick question guys, if I miss the first race tomorrow night, can I join the second race, or do I have to be on the server at the start of the first race.
