Is there anyway of improving the lights of the BMW. Having learnt the track I tried a few laps at 1am, only to find that "someone had moved all the corners" More powerful lights would help I'm sure. Also is there any chance of the 'quickies' posting their lap time, especially if in the BMW. I'm hopeful of making this my 'return race' having at long last finished my therapy. Mind you 'Bathurst in the Dark' could well mean we will all need some kind of therapy by the time its over. Laurie

Thanks for link to the lights download 57GTop - installed and have managed a few sub 2:40sec laps in a race with AI's (best so far 2:38. . Also thanks dynasaur I'm begining to feel more like my old self and starting to do a bit of race practice each day. While downloading the lights from NoGrip I saw the Porsche 917 mod so have DLed that as well. Not had a chance to try it yet but has anyone tried it out. I did notice a note from PR re this mod - so whats your verdict Paulo? Laurie

Laurie, just have done 2 laps and made it in 2.23.7xx Not a very good setup tho, car is locking tires a bit and drifting exiting corners. I haven't tried 917 mod yet.

errr, I've been on the server. That was a lot easier then I thought I know it's been writen before, but this is what I did: 1) Stick this file in your "C:\GTL" folder. http://www.humyo.com/F/9349539-14694777672) Fire up GTL as normal, then go to multiplayer. 3) Connect to IP (not lobby) 4) Add the IP to connect to (81.19.209.165). 4a) Log in (this looks like when you log into the lobby, it's suggested you use a password that you don't use elsewhere) 5) Click on the server & you're in (after a brief wait) With that fix, there is no need to touch your host file (unless you've already changed it, then you would need to remove the GTL changes you did). p.s. cheers for your effort on this Tony (& Ade for his guidance last night)

Yeah it's a piece of Plaice. It's worth noting that there's actually another step between 4 and 5 when it asks you to log in. Also, when you perform step 5 - as Tony mentioned, it'll sit there for 5 seconds (for me closer to 10) while it's "searching", after which you'll see the name of the server in the list ready for selection.
EDIT by Legzy - Cheers Oily, now updated above.

Don't forget to type a nonsense password in at step 4a, not your real lobby password and definitely not a password you use for anything else. Personally I use "bwahahaha".
