UKPnG Season 9 British Historic Cup - Oulton Park (Classic) - Jan 23rd

[Mark J]

So is this race going to be re-run next week whilst it's all fresh in our heads? Hope so.

[Clive Loynes]

.................
I will postpone this event, and make it the next one instead.
..............

I think that's the plan MJ but you know what his typing is like!   

[phspok]

Ya just don't listen!
This has been moved to Feb, so it will still be the 1st race of the BHC series. Next week is the Disappearing Sports Cars series
at Barcelona. Then Aussie mayhem, Then the 2nd LCC, then the re run of this one.
I meant the next BHC event.

[Mark J]

Oh, personally I think it should be next week then run Barcelona the week after that. Everyone's practised and setup their cars for Oulton and learnt the track, now we will have a two week gap 

[Clive Loynes]

Good.

I've done enough laps of Oulton for one month!

[phspok]

I Hear you Mark, but then I would have to re schedule all my future events.
But hey the customer is always right, so what's a little work 

OK. So I have moved all the events forward one week, so Oulton is next week

Some of the topic dates will now be wrong, I have altered the subject headers, we will have to live with
the wrong titles until 20th Feb, when everything should be correct going forward.

[Mark J]

Didn't you really only need to swap the two events around? Ie Barcelona and Oulton?  No point buggering up the rest of the schedule and creating more work for yourself. 

But good decision anyway, most racers will be happy  ...except Clive but he's hard to please anyway

Last few months i was really frustrated because my races was ended by disco so wasn`t even bothered to write my usual review.

Funny thing is that my connection can cope with almost 3 hours race on american server playing rfactor (historx) but not with 40 min race on european server playing p&g ... to be completely honest, last three races was disco from lobby and before that, i didn`t pay attention.

I know that gtr2 online code is worse than rfactor but ... could it be because of original lobby? Did you have similar problems using pilsbierbude lobby?

[Clive Loynes]

.....................except Clive but he's hard to please anyway 

No I'm not.

You are just not trying hard enough!   


@ Matt:  Birkdale this weekend if you are in the vicinity.  Got new shiny bits!   

[phspok]

I needed to move everything because, although it may look arbitrary, the series run to a plan to try to not have
similar cars two weeks running.

We had similar issues with Pilsbiere lobby. I don't think the lobby does anything after putting the
clients in touch with each other. I am fairly sure the game data doesn't go through the lobby
TO be fair, recently there have been less discos than early/mid season last year.

I did an experiment with, I think Nik in Albabia ? and the route to him depended on which UK
provider I used, the one our server takes was less reliable than the one my home brewed server took.
It's not just you Ed, there are some UK racers who drop more than most.

Was Motor Club do last night, putting feet up Sunday CLive

Hello guys, as we know, P & G is a bit sensitive and you need to keep it well.
First remove the additional tracks, just keep the one you should use, avoid saving unnecessary replay every time you close the game.
Need to check the various folders in dir \ GTR2 sure not to have double and keep defragmented the HD.
Make sure you have a PC efficiently, which is not too hot, clean dust that clogs the fans and radiators.
However council periodic disassembly, 7 \ 8 months, replace the conductive paste on the processor and make sure that the power supply can give instability.
I know that everyone knows, but I remember that before you start the game you must make sure not to have unnecessary background processes, turn off all program updates, antivirus, etc. ...
As a final resort, you can format the drive and reinstall the OS, and then GTR2, upgrade to ver 1.1, lobby patch, P & G_3, P & G_3.1
As for the internet connection, try to make some connection test ping and found that there are too many interruptions and latencies of data.
If there are malfunctions check all cables and plugs are in place eventually using a spray flux, and if this is not enough, contact your provider 

Ciaoo

Not sure the server is yet tikety-boo. I jumped on this afternoon and it was synchronising a bit then eventually lost connection...and I was the only person on it!

Ps if it really buggers up all your scheduling then don't do the swap around Matt, not worth the aggro.

[phspok]

The fault was not limited to this provider, it was at telehouse north in London on a "new juniper MX480" which this and many other
providers routed through. Supposedly it has been fixed, but they say we are "at risk" until further notice.
We may have had further notice, but I haven't heard, so I assume it's stable.

It's done now Mark no worries, I just wanted to keep the same order of series. Sorted.

[Clive Loynes]

Not had much chance to get on the server this week.  Is it behaving itself?


And who is changing cars for the re-run? 

[Mark J]

Only been on server for the GTL race and that was fine.

I think everyone should have to take the same car they used last week. It's not an excuse to swap for a perceived better car just because the server was borked!
