I'm away this week, so hopefully it is/was still running ok!

If I had been around, would have set longer distance rather than leaving as a very short sprint race.

Cheers,
Dave.

What about Jerez (Bike Configuration) with 65er?

I can do 55, 66, 65 and 67.  And that is also my order of preference.

But cannot guarantee to turn up.

I'm having a major reorganisation in the break.

My trusty old G25 started to act up in the last couple of races so I've swapped it for a Thrustmaster T300.

My monitor bust too so I've replaced it with a cheap 4K tv.

I couldn't get the new wheel to work properly under Windows 7 so I "upgraded" to Windows 10. Thankfully Microsoft have stopped charging for Windows 10, you can install for free if you have a valid Windows 7 Product Key. Good job too, Mrs T was none too chuffed with the credit card bill as it is.

All that lot seems to have gone OK but unfortunately I couldn't test it in the 69x fun race yesterday, we had visitors.

Finally I'm changing ISP this week (on 28 Aug). I've binned my Sky box (that broke too) and I've changed to Virgin Media. Not sure if this will prove to be a good idea or not. I've been promised 200MB download speed compared to the 30 odd I get now. Hopefully (and more importantly) the jitter and latency will be improved.

Outcome of all this is that I will need to do some testing before the season recommences on 8th September.  I'm not available on Sunday but I'd like to host a fun race on 1st September. I'll probably go for a 67 race at Rouen (praccy for first race back).

Added to UKGPL10 & set to run forever (or until it crashes!).

Cheers,
Dave.

Sorry I have been of for a while, I had a car crash a few weeks ago; https://www.cornwalllive.com/news/local-news/live-a39-truro-traffic-crash-3132145
Contrary to the pic description it wasn't fatal, thankfully! "Skippy" my now mangled Skoda Fabia saw me ok, just broken legs. the guy travelling toward me decided to turn right, right across me, I was doing 60 ish, he wasn't to clever after either.
tried to put up a photo of the car but I cant figure out how,
All is healing well and ill be back soon, fortunately it coincides with the summer break, looking forward to using my feet and racing again.
 ;)

I've got my new ISP up and running and I've configured the router for hosting GPL but I need to test it. I've set up a 67 race at Monza on IGOR (everyone should have that combination). Please can a few people try to join and check it out. Please post your findings here. If there is a problem I need to know ASAP.

I was going to give it a go but which 60fps patch should be used for '67?



Title: Re: Season 35 break Fun Races
Post by: Cookie on August 30, 2019, 10:28:27 PM +0100
60fpsV2newmod is used for all mods
 (except for the 69X -> 60fpsV1)

Server works fine!

Hope to see you back soon Gareth.
Unfortunately real life doesn't have a Shift R, but you're Pro standard so you wouldn't get it anyway.
