Grid/server capacity: 28 Practice: ~19:20 (60 mins) Qualifying: 20:20 (20 mins) Race: 20:40 (26 laps = ~40mins) Track: Kyalami '79 Download this (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=3358.msg81636#post_kyalami_1979) Cars allowed: Alfa Romeo GTA, Ford Mustang, Lotus Cortina This race will use the UKGTL Skin Pack 1.8.0.0 (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=3358.msg54518#msg54518). Time of Day Setting: 10:00 Start: STANDING Tyre wear: Normal Fuel consumption: Normal Server: simracing.org.uk WPC Password: see above (#post_event_password) Notes: (1) It's best if all drivers can make sure they are connected before the Qualifying session as drivers on track during qualifying will not see cars that join after they are on track until they go back to the garage. (2) Please make sure you are fully aware of the SimRacing.org.uk Rules. (3) The AI control should be turned off so that you have control of the car at all times, including pitting. Your player file should therefore read Autopit="0" Force Autopit Off="1" // Forces autopit always off No AI Control="1" // AI never has control over car If you still finding pitting problematic, experience tells us that its less to do with positioning and more to do with approach speed. A slow approach to pit crew chief has proved most reliable. (4) Driver lists can be found on the Championship standings page (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=LM2R&group=319&theme=5) Special Notes: None Title: Re: UKGTL Season 11 3 Make Challenge - Kyalami - Jul 4 Post by: Hotkeys on June 27, 2011, 01:41:50 PM +0100 Arghhh ........... >:( >:( :'( !

a couple of seconds behind the Flacon so far. Not tried Tina yet.

Tried everything to fix it but I give up. Must have over a dozen blackouts in race, thankfully with no-one around me but the last one was longer and I ended up dropping through space. Hehehe, just had another one typing this ::)
Not happy. Title: Re: UKGTL Season 11 3 Make Challenge - Kyalami - Jul 4 Post by: Wiltshire Tony on July 04, 2011, 09:48:20 PM +0100 You sure that cards seated properly? Are random blacks screens due to a card failure or a week connection?
Title: Re: UKGTL Season 11 3 Make Challenge - Kyalami - Jul 4 Post by: Wiltshire Tony on July 04, 2011, 09:48:41 PM +0100 Replay and results now posted

Are random blacks screens due to a card failure or a week connection? Nah, it's a common problem with 5850 cards, as I found out after I bought it ::) Overclocked it , underclocked it, even managed to change the voltage (that's a story in itself). Complete junk. waste of money, time, effort and errrrr electricity :thumbdown: Title: Re: UKGTL Season 11 3 Make Challenge - Kyalami - Jul 4 Post by: phspok on July 05, 2011, 12:19:05 PM +0100 Good race. Was a bit baffled with what car to use. Times suggested Alfa was fastest, then Mustang and Tina
slowest, yet the Tina was the only one that wasn't on the limiter at the end of the straight so took him was not on the pace of the front runners, but had some good tussles with Tibs, Eiffel, Sqrtr, and later Geoffers who was catching slowly, but I thought I should stick it in 1st gear rather than 3rd so I could spin and let him catch and pass :laugh: Title: Re: UKGTL Season 11 3 Make Challenge - Kyalami - Jul 4 Post by: Wiltshire Tony on July 05, 2011, 12:37:56 PM +0100 So I managed to forget to engage brain/1st gear at the start and consequently was last heading down the hill. Made up a couple of places before arriving at Geoffers spectacular spin on Lap 2 and even though I tried to cut across the lawn to escape his vehicle I was drawn to it like a moth to a light. After that I only gained places due to retirements and had a lonely race trying to catch Eifelblitz but his pace was constant with my own. Still thought it was an entertaining race on a great circuit. And nice to see all three makes represented.
Wonder what Sepang will bring?

Ahem, yeh sorry about that to anyone who got involved ::). I turned into T2 a bit early, got up on the kerb & got a bit out of shape. Would have got it sorted but failed to take into account Goldtop's Mustang just in front, bumped into the back of him, GT carried on OK but I did several pirouettes! :o. Got hit a couple of times but once I got going again the car drove fine. Still had good fun tearing around mostly on my own for the rest of the race & luckily got 4th when both Sqter & Matt spun late in the race. Congrats to Cossy, Ade & Phil. :thumbup2: |
