Wednesday Assetto Corsa Fun - 23th July 2014 - Xbow vs Lotus 2/11 at Aosta

[Simon Gymer]

I haven't yet worked out how to join a multiplayer race. Obviously being a bit thick as to how one joins a race. Any tips?

[picnic]

Do you mean to our server or all races? If our server it might be because they've updated the server code and I've not downloaded it via Steam and then uploaded to our server yet.

load up the pedal app and make sure the far right bar doesnt stay red at any point, flashing red is ok.

I had the pedal app running last night and it doesn't get anywhere near red. Maybe that's because I have the "canned" effects turned off. I'm more and more coming to the conclusion that a drastic change in driving style is required.

Thanks for your thoughts 

join my teamspeak tomorrow and i will try help you out. it might be just your driving wrong.. but who knows.

[Johnny X]

Cheers for the offer but I haven't got the equipment to get on TeamSpeak, might try and get hold of some tomorrow, in the meantime I'll battle on.

Thanks.

Edit: I've made some changes to FF and I'm starting to make some progress...... only about 3 secs off the pace now in the X-Bow   Still got ridiculous understeer  at some points though - I guess I need to slow down there

Any server. I was referring to my inability to find any sort of join button. I found it now. I must admit I find the UI far too complicated and fussy.

[ChrisR]

Just a heads up..

Im goinv to be putting a server up at about 6 / 6:30 and it will end 7:30 so plenty of time to join booking for the race.

[Jester]

I'll be in the 2/11 tonight. Hope it's again a good grid of cars 

[spanner]

Is it ok if i try and join?

Give me a chance to try it out in anger as i find offline a bit boring and you never know how well it runs until you try it.

The Xbow has ABS available in real life and is still available in game even if you switch it off in the driving aids. For this reason it is allowed and can be enabled/disabled on track by Ctrl>A 

Having just upgraded the dedi server to the latest version I thought I'd better try a few laps, not sure 1:42 is going to cut it! However by default my Xbow's ABS is not enabled, we raced something the other week where I had ABS without me changing anything. Does this mean the Xbow has ABS but it's a bug in AC not having it enabled, a bug in the other car giving it to me without it begin enabled or a change in approach by AC? I'd hope that I'd get ABS by default if the car has it for real and it's only taken away from me when the car doesn't support it. Lets hope ABS will give me another 4 or 5 secs!

GT, I haven't got a [DYNAMIC_TRACK] section in the INI file for now so I'm assuming the track will remain consistent. I'll delay starting the server for the event to you can have it put in (if you see this in time). Server will be available for booking no later than 7:30 is case anyone gets a panic on

Of course it is Spanner, all welcome. At this rate it might be first come first served as there is a limit of 16 at this track.

[Johnny X]

Server seems to be up... no booking mode, it's in Practice now and then it's set for 1 hour Quali and 4 lap race.  Summat amiss methinks.


Edit... forget it... just seen picnincs post whilst I was posting... Ooops

[ChrisR]

picnic, im assuming your going to run the server as usual? with a booking etc

my practice server is up until about 7:45.

I believe the 2/11 also has ABS available by default so it should even things out either way. As regards dynamic track probably best if we look at doing something for next week (if I've posted this in time). Again, either way its the same for all.

[picnic]

Yes - about to restart it with the race config. No [DYNAMIC_TRACK] section this week. I guess we should test it with different numbers to see what effect it has. 2 quick races back to back? What does AC do if there is no qual? Is it a random grid?


Edit: Deed is done, race server accepting bookings Can't see it tho!

[ChrisR]

if it up now, i cant see it.

seen it
