Saving Sessions?

[shillen65]

Hi guys,
is there any chance to save the results of sesions from one day to the other? I´d like to follow this years Indycar Championship with my rF2 on the same days as the real sessions will be held. But I can´t find a way to keep the results of the sessions... Let´s say on Saturday i run the qualifying and want to run the race on Sunday with the correct qualifying grid...
Best
Stefan

Hello,
You have to use the replay function. So in a nutshell, you are running the Saturday Qualify and at the end of the session you exit to main menu. Next day (or any other time) that you want to run the race, you go from the main manu to replay function and you will see a file which will describe the truck and session that you run the previous day. You click on this file and it will load the "reply view" which is basically a reply of your qualify session. When the replay loads you should move the replay to the end of the session using the cursor (fast forward or jump to the end) and then you can press the join the session button. Then you can go to the Next Session and you will Race with the Grid Order as per qualifiying.
You can also "google" the replay function to learn more for example:

The same applies in race, you can always exit and continue using the reply functions but there are some restrictions, no tyre heat, damage is loaded. Be aware there is a bug that the most of the grid pits after rejoining the session. Me for example when I do endurance racing, I'm using the reply functions when more or less everyone has to pit, aprox every 1h. Finally depending on the field you are running the reply cannot be more than 1.5GB. If so it will crach while loading and you will not have the possibility to rejoin the race. There are many videos for this as well.
Hope it helps...

You can also run offline sessions "online" which gives you dedicated menu you can set any field order you like anytime. As it is private sessions you don't need to forward ports joining from same PC and no you don't get lag. lol

No replay limitations, faster loading and no pausing when you multi task.

Can you please explain how to do this? Sounds very cool and something I would be interested in.

Well Basically you just make a room and password it and/or mark private ( I think )
If you log in from same computer you should be able to see the room and join it.
I only had to set ports for normal session. so others could join, private room I never needed to set.

I already stated this may have changed since the new system but I don't see why it would have ?
Always worked for me. but to be honest I don't know of a single person used it at least they never
said so even though it was pretty clear to me from first days why would this not work ?

It is not different then making any room and joining it but you just close it off to others or maybe your friends that want to have good AI races.
Me and a few others used to do this kind of thing everyday waiting for more joliners.
IE: add AI, start race, let them get a gap then chase them down together using each other to tow back to field, not ever using bump and tow but pull out of slipstream correctly.
IMHO that is one of the best learning methods ever for rookies ( just turn the AI down )

Once you in room you set, you can do things you can't offline and do the rest easier, like booting and adding AI is 4 times faster then offline. Make your historic grids correct in a minute, etc.

Anyway you look at it, driving private offline/online session is better then offline hands down.
No lag or latency, bugs or glitches or any other problem.
