AC Test New Platform Abarth500/Mazda MX5@Interlagos, Mon 7th November 2022

[gearwhine]

As Robert says. Messy interface though. May sound silly but would be a little easier if the colour combo was nicer. That yellow and black has always pissed me off

@thom462

many thanks, easy when you know how.

Your not on your own Ernie, i have used it before and even now i have to check it is done. Plus, as you found out. Makes you download stuff you don't want.

Sorry I had to leave early. New platform seemed ok - need to understand why Ernie had problems as others might have the same issue.

got it,
Load WSS app.
from the instructions in Racedepartment applied by the particular event…..

https://paddock.worldsimseries.com/events/101554/registration#/

press CONNECT after selecting the particular event and chosen car.
The info for the game appears in the “yellow app” box
( When you select CONNECT the yellow app will re-appear on your monitor. )
The black box at the bottom of the WSS app should show the event
press black box showing that information.
Should then download Assetto corsa.

I am pretty sure “when” I downloaded the app from WSS page it asked me for the particular game link.

I pressed so many bleeding buttons in frustration.


enjoyed harassing Andrea..

Sorry guys, my mic was not working. Heard you all fine but could not speak. Some people i know would call that a blessing

That was a good event. For me, everything related to the technical worked well. I also like the layout of the WSS page. I actually wanted to give everyone a "like", but I guess it's only possible once.

Regarding the race: Was surprisingly quite good with the Abarth. I had half of the race Thomas in sight. Then I thought I'd drive into the pits, maybe he'd relax a bit and lose concentration. I think he had an accident in the pit lane, so I was able to get past him.

Conclusion:

Those gorilla mods you were talking about all have awful over volumed sound. Trust me, you will tire of the noise. Plus, as Robert said, they will down grade your mod to checksum comply. Don,t know about you guys but i spend time keeping my mods up to date. Am not going to be happy with WSS taking over my game to be honest.

Conclusion:

Had one of my most consistant races and good pace and yes I binned the race at pit exit (not the first left, it was in the fast right hander, touched the wall only slightly and spun) as I was confused about the gap to you in the live timing, thought it would be close but should have been enough gap I think. Good pace Hank, was fun doing same laptimes with both cars.
Technic wise had no problem with WSS.

This^^^^ A backward step, and a CM full of conflictions if you race elsewhere

What are the conflicts John? Just that is using older versions of mods?

I think so Brian - some guys I race with mentioned various cars and tracks being different versions (not up to date?) - but they do race on quite few platforms lol. Will have look at it this weekend though

You will always have a bit of that with AC, but hopefully the turnaround for anything we request to be added or updated will be decent. We wont be setting up any proper weekly event with any content until is updated either.

When it's indeed the problem with the version I guess we as organizers can mitigate that by checking the version beforehand and ask for an update if necessary.
WSS has a direct way to ask for mods and versions. I've already used it a couple of days ago because I was missing some tracks. Up till now I didn't receive any response on that though.
I hope they will respond faster than the S.GP guys. Maybe Bram should negotiate that.

EDIT: I read Brian's response after this one but glad to see that we are at the same 'pace'

It seems I need CM, to download a shader patch ??? why.

Just for your information:
You do have some version of csp
I sent you a package that you dropped into the correct folder path to make it work quite a few months ago hehe.
It's 0.1.63 iirc (latest stable, recommended version according to CM).
But only the cpu optimazions, TAA and smart shadows are activated

No one seems to write in plain easy to follow steps what you need to do, must lose a lot of people who lose the will to live and go and then play Halo.

I could write books about this..
But to be fair it can be difficult to note down things in a clear and easy to understand way for things you do via gut feeling and no way to change your perspective to someone not knowing anything about it.
Try to explain walking to someone who didn't practice it for 3 years as a baby

On the WSS site they promise that requests for mods will be handled within 48 hours.
That's much quicker than with S.GP (about 48 days!)
Let's see. It's about 48 hours now since I filed the 7 requests.

 

[a_murel]

wanna do it again Han?

Same track same day?

I have an added question When driving behind a competitor, especially when driving very close behind someone, the car in front is puling away and then falling back again, like a pulse. Is this server related or game related?


So maybe test this in the "new" server?

Hi Andre,

No not with WSS. We're now looking at JustRace to install that on our own servers. It's has the big advantage that we are in control on the content (mods) we're using. And we can use password protection to make sure only clean and respectful drivers will participate.

As soon the install has been completed, Brian and I will test it and organize testevents.

More than a week now but I've heard nothing.

Is it safe to say now that WSS for us is now history?
