All members welcome. Grid/server capacity: 28 Practice: ~19:10 (60 mins) Race 1 Qualifying: 20:10 (20 mins) Race 1: 20:30 17 laps~20mins, then following shortly afterwards with reverse grid Race 2: 17 laps~20mins Track: Snetterton Download this Snetterton has a problem with its GDB file which you might need to fix to join the server. Open up your Snetterton folder at......(C:)>Program Files>Steam>steamapps>yourusername>race 07>GameData>Locations> Look for the GDB file and open it using Notepad. Insert this line: "IGAID=64" below the first bracket in the text.
eg:
snetterton_2005 { IGAID=64 AI Vehicle Filter = SnettertonCars allowed: Caterham CSR200 Time of Day Setting: 14:00 Weather: DRY Start: STANDING Tyre wear: Normal Fuel consumption: Normal Server: UKRACE07 CRC 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. Special Notes: The grid procedure for Race 07 events is slightly different from GTL/GTR2. Upon joining the grid, you won't be able to rev your engine until all drivers are present on the grid. Do not attempt to esc back to garage or you will be DQ'd.

A problem has arisen with a couple of these add on tracks which seems to prevent AI drivers running with us. This only became apparent when the tracks were loaded onto our server. The events affected are this one at Snetterton and Silverstone and unfortunately even with the above fix, we are not able to run the AI.
All drivers will need to install the fix for both of these events. Please shout up if you need any help.

Have downloaded the file and unpacked. The file designation looks like the SROU application file to install the track but windows doesn't seem to know what to do with it.
Advice please.

I've just joined ok Ade. Maybe try fix and double check? :'( Have downloaded the file and unpacked. The file designation looks like the SROU application file to install the track but windows doesn't seem to know what to do with it.
Think you have to add ".exe" to it Bill.

No luck just keep getting booted as possible cheat. This is what I feared. Myself and Tony have been trying to resolve this problem. The fix appears to work for some (I can join the server while Tony can't) but might not work for others. The problem affects Snetterton and Silverstone. As I see it, at this late stage we have the following choices: 1. We hold another fun race on a standard track while trying to resolve this issue for next week. If the problem remains, we replace the Snetterton and Silverstone rounds with standard tracks. 2. We replace Snetterton and Silverstone with alternative tracks. At this stage it would mean using standard Race 07 tracks. 3. The third choice would be to go ahead with the existing series, which I don't really think is a choice at all. Thoughts please?

Ade is in Recommend drivers use the copy/paste function rather than rely on their typing skills Obviously, there is no need to use the "....." marks. Just copy/paste IGAID=64 into the GDB file as per instructions in the first post. Please try this if you get the chance and report back here.

Yes I believe so.
Both Ade and Legzy got in after a couple of attempts. Hopefully they'll post back their experiences to guide others.
