iGOR is back! change in the igor.ini the IP The 55 mod team has made a fix for the great Goodwood track! So I proposed to make a test fun race. The fix will be posted by Greg Gliebzeit at SRMZ! -> Goodwood Trk File With Zero Gaps For Testing (http://srmz.net/index.php?s=4116130b265c6ce61aa8a1b76f3bb0b4&showtopic=11681) ________________________________________________________________ The event is unmoderated – but the usual high standards are expected. Unlimited Shift R is allowed & there are no Stop & Go’s.
Please restrict chat to emergency messages only including at the end of the race until ALL drivers still racing have crossed the line. GLA and FUN Title: Re: UKGPL Season 31 (2017) - Goodwood - Jan 24 Post by: EvilClive on January 24, 2017, 12:23:27 PM +0000 May I suggest that for this "test" there is an correctly updated track file to download?
I am still not convinced that everyone had the track fix update installed, or maybe correctly applied for the F2 race on Sunday. If we offer a track folder for Goodwood with the latest update already inserted there should be no problems and we will have a proper test? Title: Re: UKGPL Season 31 (2017) - Goodwood - Jan 24 Post by: Cookie on January 24, 2017, 01:22:17 PM +0000 OK, here is the complete Goodwood track folder (https://www.sendspace.com/file/8kqjtt)
Rename, remove or delete your existing Goodwood folder and then extract this one (https://www.sendspace.com/file/8kqjtt) into your tracks folder.

I'm trying to join but having no joy, updated the igor.ini but don't see a race list...should I join direct if I can find the address of server 8?

Good pace in the Coop, Doni. Title: Re: UKGPL Season 31 (2017) - Goodwood - Jan 24 Post by: maddog on January 24, 2017, 10:08:07 PM +0000 1 practice freeze, 1 race freeze. Fun track, fun race - hope it get's fixed. :-\
Title: Re: UKGPL Season 31 (2017) - Goodwood - Jan 24 Post by: dave curtis on January 24, 2017, 10:12:57 PM +0000 The F2 event on Sunday ran ok for me, but as there was a 'official' goodwood folder roll-up available thanks to Axel, I blew away [i.e. backed-up] my folder contents & extracted the offered files instead.
Was able to join the practice/qually session for a couple of laps & that ran trouble-free, although when I clicked on the green flag to join the grid for the start of the race - GPL locked up. When I returned to my desktop, I noticed that the graph line on openhardware monitor had remained flatlining. I *now* have a nvidia profile for gplc65.exe too! [I'd previously been clever by having created a profile for \gpl\*.exe - but apparently that doesn't work!] Looks as though the other runners may have remained stable, so at least that's something. Cheers, Dave.

Good battle with you Martin.

Had 2 Freezes in Practice and 1 in the Race with 10 Laps to go. All three times needed a complete PC Restart.
Title: Re: UKGPL Season 31 (2017) - Goodwood - Jan 24 Post by: Cookie on January 24, 2017, 10:26:48 PM +0000 No problems here, but only 4 drivers left in the end...
@Dave I have these settings: (https://picload.org/image/roadocal/nv.jpg) Title: Re: UKGPL Season 31 (2017) - Goodwood - Jan 24 Post by: EvilClive on January 24, 2017, 10:39:53 PM +0000 My disco was not related to software. I had a neighbour at the front door and I was distracted enough to blow the engine on a downshift at the same time :-\. :taz:
I had to park the car and deal with the person, who tells me that he enjoys hospital food!!! :angel: Up until then I was having great fun with Lasse ? a new name in UKGPL for me. I don't think my Honda would have lasted the race anyway, as I had grabbed the setup from another track and the gearing was OK until I got a tow, then things started to turn red very quickly in the oil temperature department. >:( I needed to up all 6 gears about 2 notches for a long race I think. But, as regards the test of the Goodwood fix ...???? From what people are posting I don't think that things have improved that much? There have been occasions in the past when we have used the old Goodwood, that the race has run without any disco incidents at all and that cannot be said for the F2 and the 65 races we have just tried. Really sad that someone has put in the hard work to try and fix this great circuit and we still have the same old problems. My gut feeling is that this track is still suspect?

Woke up to "We've downloaded an update and need to install...". Great. Pending updates usually make my system crawl at inconvenient moments (not good in a racing scenario), so wanna get that done before the race. Had some stuff to deal with beforehand, so got that done, still 90mins to the off so figured I was safe, gave it the go-ahead. 3 hours later, race is over, and I finally have my PC back (complete with some screwed-up desktop and menu settings, probably more crap I haven't found yet). Thanks, Bill! :middlefinger: Title: Re: UKGPL Season 31 (2017) - Goodwood - Jan 24 Post by: bagrupp on January 25, 2017, 08:07:00 AM +0000 Disco in Qualifing, later quit the race. little ill and to risky setup.
Title: Re: UKGPL Season 31 (2017) - Goodwood - Jan 24 Post by: Doni Yourth on January 25, 2017, 11:41:50 AM +0000 Fine run by Lasse to take the gold. Good show.
Fun chasing Axel and even leading briefly but my driving was very erratic with many offs. Trying too hard. 'Slow down and go faster' was not in my playbook yesterday. I had a game lockup on the menu page with about 11m to run in qualifying. Only noticed with about 5m to run before session end. Lucky to get back in time for the start. No problems in the race. Net bars nominal and stable. Cruised for the later laps just to see if I'd be mercifully disco'd but no, I survived. One of only four. :( |
