Check your status hereTime of Day Setting: 14:00 Start: STANDING Tyre wear: Normal Fuel consumption: Normal Pit stops: Not required Server: simracing.org.uk Mondays Password: see aboveNotes: (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. Special Notes: None

Thanks Tony; was about to ask if you could add a Land Rover to the cars, considering the amount of time I spent off-roading, when I did some track familiarisation last night.. Cheers, Erling

Know what you mean. That tight left hander at the end of that long sweeping section of track takes some judgement.

We use the Simbin server as most newbies are getting the Steam GTL digital download these days so it makes more sense to be where their looking. Check your main GTL folder for a file called LOCAL_IP_LOBBY.TXT If you have it change the contents (using Notepad) to read this gtlsrv.race-game.com If you don't have this file create one using Notepad but be sure to use Caps for the file name exactly as shown above.

Ok guys I think I am doing something basically wrong when I download and install new cars. Or, I have toggled something off as regards sounds.
I can d/load and place circuits in the "Locations" folder no problem and the track is accessible.
But, I do not get any engine sounds for the cars I have selected. All the ambient noises are there, plus skidding and road noise etc, but the engine in my chosen car is silent!!
I have played with the sound slider controls etc under the "Options/ Audio" button but that makes no difference. I have re-downloaded the Anglia several times but I do not seem to get any audio files for it? Certainly in the "Sounds" folder under "Game Data" there is nothing for the Anglia, although there are plenty of other cars there, all with their own sounds.
So I tried the Mini Cooper, just to see if that worked, but no engine sound there either??? As this is a car from the GTL install I am now concerned that I have something corrupted? Should I re-Install GTL and start afresh?

You had a sound problem at Norisring too didn't you. As you have tried several cars with the same result that kinda rules out a GTL mod install problem. Especially as the mini is a standard car. Before you go down the reinstall everything route perhaps try to find a latest driver for your sound card? Or run dxdiag by going Start/all programs/accessories/command prompt and typing in dxdiag then follow the prompts. Maybe also go Control Panel/System and Security/System/Device Manager and see if there are any yellow exclamation marks under Sound and Game Controllers.

The sound card is quite new and works fine for everything else, so I don't think that is the problem ( but what do I know??!). Besides which, this problem only relates to the ENGINE SOUND in GTL, all other sounds are there...road noise , skidding, crowd,wind, commentator etc. I cannot hear any engine sounds, not even from other cars, but I can hear everything else. It is almost as if I do not have the particular file that relates to engine sounds.....but I cannot see how I can be missing ALL of them.
Question... If I open up the C:\ GTLegends/Game Data/ Sounds/Cars folder, surely I should see a folder there for the Anglia or Mini etc, because I do not!

The Anglia uses the Lotus car sounds. The Mini sounds are listed under Austin. If you double click any of the .wav files you should hear a sound, do you?
In the Anglia folder there is a file called Anglia.aud. Open this file with Notepad and it tells you which sound files it's using.
BTW is this happening offline and online?

OK this happens offline and online.
I found the Anglia .aud file and that refers to the Lotus Cortina sounds as you suggested it would. However, when I look in the Sounds/Cars folder....no Lotus Cortina or Austin either???
Just to be sure I am looking in the right place for these .wav sound files....
C:\ GTLegends\GameData\Sounds\Cars.
Also discovered something a bit worrying which I need to sort. If I just double click on a random .wav file for maybe the Lola T70 it boots up Grand Prix Legends!! I need to change the association of .wav files to Windows Media Player , how the heck it picked up the GPL.exe link is a mystery!!??
EDIT**** .wav files now play with Win Media Player and DO NOT start GPL. But still zero engine noises from cars.

I'm creating a download for you of all the standard car sound files. I'll add the link here later tonight when it's done. Unzip it into the GTLegends/Gamedata/Sounds/Cars folder http://www.mediafire.com/download/zlrr1azvnb8yt19/Standard_car_sounds.zip
