The session is set up for 30 min. on each server. We need at least an hour.
Thanks!

Marco Bijl · Nov 12, 2013

Will check it. Probably selected the wrong profile after we have shut all down for the VWEC race last weekend.

David O'Reilly · Nov 12, 2013

So glad I spotted this!

Question (tongue in cheek). How many cars does it take to rubber in the Targa Florio?

Answer: It depends on whether the horse drawn carts (used by the natives for farming purposes) are using pump up tyres or solid wooden wheels

The D/L link for the track isnt working. Any other we can use?

Nick Deeley · Nov 12, 2013

I'm not going to be doing that again in a hurry..almost 40 minutes for a lap, and not enough fuel in the Megane to do 2 'flying' laps.

Falconitage · Nov 12, 2013

the track doesn't work even in solo mode with the 342 build !
when you start the race (with any car) the fps are ok but soon they get down to 5 !
I am so disappointed !

David Kolody · Nov 13, 2013

And where do we see the results? I get nothing from RaceLog.

Falconitage · Nov 13, 2013

I tried solo, downloaded both of the rfmod and still the same!
don't know what is the password required on line !
I would be pleased to test it !

But Nick how many tracks will let you find 2-3 minutes in improvement?

You need to be a licensed driver.

I just checked, and both servers are in testday mode, running a 30 hour test session.
Now I have heard others with this issue. This is probably related to the build. I will do some inquiry on it.

I have not seen this in both offline and online. Is there a specific place where it happens, or is it after a certain amount of time?

I assume you where on the TinTops. The listener plugin wasn't running properly.
I just reset it. The hotlap thing from the website seems to time out. I will reboot the racelog server, but I think I need to urgently replace the hardware for that.
Times are uploaded, so should be in the database now.

Indeed, you need to apply for a license. You can do that here.

Falconitage · Nov 13, 2013

@David Kolody thanks for answering !
you know I had some good times on that track before came built 342 !
now as you start the race the fps = 80, 15 seconds after, only 5 !
I'm not the only one I think...

Marco Bijl · Nov 14, 2013

IF I find some time tonight, I will do some testing on that Falconitage. Can't make promisses as I have other obligations as well tonight.

David Kolody · Nov 14, 2013

If in setup you experience slow down(slow mouse response and choppy audio), change replay to real time.

Not many, so, yeah I'll give you that, and I may have another go yet, just said I wasn't going to do it again in a hurry

you gave me a nice idea ! I tried to change things in the race setup. and everything came to normal when I set AI to 12 instead of 21 ! thanks very much !
