I know Im getting old.. but? LOL? PaulV. Title: Re: Season 36 1967 F1 Junior - Registration Post by: Cookie on February 03, 2020, 01:33:25 PM +0000 UKGPL_10 was up all the time at iGOR!
And the race thread shows correct date... https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=18372.msg330132#new Title: Re: Season 36 1967 F1 Junior - Registration Post by: Phil Thornton on February 03, 2020, 05:45:04 PM +0000 What happened.. i missed this one. checked the server.. nothing showing last week and no one practicing. and dates for race showing 3rd of Feb. ??? Sounds like an issue with your IGOR settings. I've had situations on Windows 10 when IGOR just stops updating the race list. Then for some reason it started again. I suspect it is something to do with Windows updates. This is why we have started making sure the IP address is on the race announcement. IP is IGOR proof. Title: Re: Season 36 1967 F1 Junior - Registration Post by: PaulV on February 03, 2020, 09:24:46 PM +0000 Hi Guys.. n Gals,
My fault entirely. but just to let you know I looked a the page linked here... i.e the ones at the top of this page. "Please check the Season 36 pages for details regarding the rules and the 1967 F1 Junior pages in particular" hovered my mouse over the Interlagos track flag for the track and it shows the 3rd. so i wrongly assumed the race had been moved to tonight.. but thats just me being a real old duffer. OOPPS !!!!! Paul. Title: Re: Season 36 1967 F1 Junior - Registration Post by: Phil Thornton on February 03, 2020, 09:38:29 PM +0000 ….hovered my mouse over the Interlagos track flag for the track and it shows the 3rd. If that was the case (can't check now because the race result has been imported and it now shows 2nd which will have overwritten the date in the database) then sorry Paul it will have been a typo in the database. We wouldn't move the date of a race (particularly to another day) without publicising it more widely. If you spot another issue like this please raise it somewhere on the forum. It is quite a lot of work setting up a season and typos do happen.Another place to check the race dates is in the Calendar (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=calendar) Title: Re: Season 36 1967 F1 Junior - Registration Post by: PaulV on February 03, 2020, 10:06:14 PM +0000 Hi Phil.
I will mention it,only becauseyou ask, and as you say it helps to correct odd problems. not cos Im moaning. one can only imagine the work you guys do for us. and its bloody highly appreciated. but as i say, my fault entirely. I last looked at the server on Saturday not Sunday. I had endured a Sunday of Grand- Children overload.. dont think I would have been at my best anyways LOL. and we dismiss 2 races dont we? is that correct for this league? Im really happy to be honest how its going. Not driven GPL online in many years. And it seems to be going well. Im not as fast as I was but working to get there. Im lucky in as much GPL is like riding a bike. It seems far easier for an old hand to pick up GPL again, rather than having to go through the steep, sorry I meant Vertical learning curve that is our Wonderful Sim. i think it was Cookie that mentioned his age the other day and just how many years hes been into GPL, I started playing GPL when I worked in IT, with Paul Thurston while he was writing Gem+and I was supplying all the Pc equipment and testing etc,etc with Gary Tall and others. that was in the late 90s. Im 61 now and retired.that means I was 48-49 when I first played GPL. that really puts in to perspective how long this Sim has been around. and its been some of the best fun and Comradeship Ive know. Long may it last. Paul V. Title: Re: Season 36 1967 F1 Junior - Registration Post by: PaulV on February 03, 2020, 10:13:18 PM +0000 Phil, may be my PC. checked the time settings etc, etc and all seems fine. but just took a look at the 69 schedule and standings page.. and I know the race is tomorrow. the 4th but on my PC when i highlight the Montjuic flag it says race is on the 5th ??? Paul Title: Re: Season 36 1967 F1 Junior - Registration Post by: Phil Thornton on February 03, 2020, 10:19:25 PM +0000 and we dismiss 2 races dont we? is that correct for this league? Normally but not in this case as we are aligning with GPL Brazil. I admit it is a bit hard to find but it is stated on the championship page (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=LM2R&group=842&theme=6) and also shows up if you click on the "Scoring System" link on the championship table.Quote I started playing GPL when I worked in IT, with Paul Thurston while he was writing Gem+and I was supplying all the Pc equipment and testing etc,etc with Gary Tall and others. that was in the late 90s. Im 61 now and retired.that means I was 48-49 when I first played GPL. I'll turn 60 this year, but a couple of years off retirement. I'll need GPL in retirement to keep me out of the wife's way :wheelchair:Title: Re: Season 36 1967 F1 Junior - Registration Post by: Phil Thornton on February 03, 2020, 10:22:31 PM +0000 but just took a look at the 69 schedule and standings page.. and I know the race is tomorrow. the 4th I can only imagine you have got the wrong time zone selected in Windows. I've no idea what else it could be.but on my PC when i highlight the Montjuic flag it says race is on the 5th ??? Title: Re: Season 36 1967 F1 Junior - Registration Post by: bernie on May 08, 2020, 10:21:28 PM +0100 Hello from Wigan England , thought I might give this a go again

Title: Re: Season 36 1967 F1 Junior - Registration Post by: bernie on May 08, 2020, 11:23:05 PM +0100 Hi Axel , I got extremely bored with this lockdown stuff so thought i would try a bit of GPL lappery only to find my G25 gone kaput , so onto ebay and now have a G29 ( then i read Evils post ! ) Yikes !
Not to worry though as i dont use FF and it seems to work ok for me though a little heavy . Good to here from you again hope your Ok too :) Title: Re: Season 36 1967 F1 Junior - Registration Post by: Phil Thornton on May 09, 2020, 07:49:28 AM +0100 Hi Bernie
Great to see you back. The lock-down is a pain, especially with all the sunny weather we've been having. It should be possible to turn down the FF on your G29 if it is a bit "heavy". Regards Phil Title: Re: Season 36 1967 F1 Junior - Registration Post by: AnGex on May 09, 2020, 08:50:05 AM +0100 Hello Bernie,

Good to here from you again hope your Ok too :) Heyy Bernie!!!! great to hear from you again ;D I still recall our meet up with Clive Loynes and Andy a couple of years back, we were honoured when the legend that is Bernie Darwin sat at our table and regaled us with tales about your exploits in the 60's ;) I am still waiting to read the book ;) Hope you are well and that you are staying safe buddy. Title: Re: Season 36 1967 F1 Junior - Registration Post by: bernie on May 09, 2020, 05:14:55 PM +0100 Impossible to forget such a great evening among the cream of UGPL aces , I think I was the one to feel honoured ;D
Title: Re: Season 36 1967 F1 Junior - Registration Post by: Billy Nobrakes on May 09, 2020, 09:31:54 PM +0100 Welcome back Bernie.
Like all the great rock bands we knew your retirement was just a sabbatical, waiting for the GPL come back tour to be announced. Free choice of chassis BTW. |
