Notes:
(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 (https://www.simracing.org.uk/index.php?pid=7) especially the
rules about in-game chat messages.
(3) You will need to install Power and Glory v2 from here (http://www.gtlw.co.uk/), 2.1 patch from here
 (http://www.gtlw.co.uk/) and enable terrain patch.
(4) P&G has no 'Pit Speed Limiter' function.You may go as fast as you like in the pits, but please exercise caution. Penalties will be handed out for causing contact in the pit lane. Use your best judgement when making your pitstop during the race.

Love the "Puke" in GTL. Hope it's the same in P&G

Seems similar here. Track looks a little better, still has some bumps, but works well
These cars are just fast enough to get some interesting slides going

Due to the Simbin lobby still being un-available at the time of writing you need to change your LOCAL_IP_LOBBY.TXT files contents to this 91.121.102.7

This will connect you to the Pilsbierbude lobby (run by Altbierbude)

Remember to keep a copy of the original file somewhere safe (not in the same place).

I did the above and connected straight away without needing to register or anything.

Suggest you try it out preferably before race night  ::)

Should the Simbin lobby re-appear we will post here so watch this space.

https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=11016.0;topicseen

What do you think?

Another ploy to make us all buy iRacing?

 :offtopic:

We have had trouble with simbin lobbies going away in the past.
If alt bierbude are happy with it, then we might as well point ourselves
at their lobby. They also have had problems in the past, but they
tend to sort stuff quite well.

I'm afraid it doesn't work for me :- ((

I also tried making a new registration, but even though I was able to do that ( by the third atempt ) I still couldn't connect to the Lobby

Stig

Stig, you can also try to repeat this procedure, overwriting the text in the Local_IP_Lobby.txt with this one: "gtr2lobby.bier-buden.de" or "file.bier-buden.de". If it doesn't work with your old User/password, try to make a new registration. If it doesn't work even this way, the last attempt you can do, unless you just installed it in advance, is the installation of the GTR2 No DVD patch, cause some people managed to join the lobby only with the No CD.

Just make some attempts before to give up :)


 

Well, I tried aproximately 25 times more without doing anything new ....... and all of a sudden it worked  ???

Hope it stays that way  ;D

Stig

Finally able to enter lobby again with LOCAL_IP_LOBBY.TXT  91.121.102.7 and after a new login -
so hopefully will be back tonight  ;)

I made it to the lobby as well but haven't installed the track yet.

Hoping for some practice tonight otherwise I shall be in the dark when the lights go green.

Very easy track to learn Clive

Tony is right, this track is really easy and short. I did a few laps (offline) yesterday with the 275 GTB/C, and my laptimes were close to 1.08.2 in race trim. I would expect that my lap times will be a bit higher online. I Can figure a mid-high 1.07 could be a good lap in qualif fuel  ???
Do you have a time reference for the Jags?

We will see what happens this evening... Cu later :)

I can't see the server in the 'bude lobby. Should it be there yet?

I'll have a looksee

It looks like our server is down  >:( >:( >:(

Watch this space

I've managed 1:06.6 in the Ferrari and about a second slower with the 4-spd lightweight Jag. Both on low fuel.

Edit - actually, with a bit of tinkering have now got 1:06.8 with the Jag.

I can't put up a dedicated server neither, so something must be wrong at Pilsnerbudweiser :- ))

I can however host a game ...... I think..... could someone please try to join it?

It's called SimracingUK- Hotkeys, and the password is the same.

Stig

Password the same as what?

I can't get in, have tried the 'usual' password. It doesn't say 'bad password' though, like it does when I try to join another game, just goes back to the 'enter password' screen  ???

Same here

same here

Damned ..... I'll try witn no password then.

Stig

clicking join but nothing happens

yup

Is the usual server dead then Tony?

Strange indeed ... well, it was worth a try :- )

Stig

Thanks Stig.

Have you got the ports for GTR2 forwarded on your router?

A quick google says it might be these:

UDP ports: 34297, 34298
TCP port: 34347

Huu, I'ts been so long since I did this port fwd thing .... don't remeber how :_ ((

But it worked, when i tested a dedicated server some time ago.

Stig

If Stig can get a server up we can join, and people are ok with it, then we can run the event
If not and the server doesn't come back up in the next few mins, then the event will need
to be cancelled, and I will run it on another date.

Fraid so. Getting a timed out error message when usualy it's instant connection. Looks like were not going to be racing tonight guys

I am a little rusty on this port fwd thing, so I guess we'll have to do the race another time.

Stig

Thanks for trying for us mate  :punk:

Opps, I think the dedicated server now works, please try to join it

What Tony said  :thumbup1:

Fair enough. Looking forward to this one.

I'm of to do the dishes

Cya next time

Nope, still the same  :(

This time it asks for password then does nothing

yep - same here.  :(

Thanks guys for all your efforts - see you next week.

Ok, I call the race off. Thanks for trying Stig it's really good that you did.
Too many people may not join now, so if you want to start a fun race that's great
but it won't be an official championship event.

Thanks All

In 5 mins I can put the VDA server online in lobby. If you want we can use it for the race, even if it will start a bit later than usual.


If you want we can just do a fun event. Tell me what to do please :)

This event has been rescheduled for 25th October.
If anyone (Thanks Matteo) wants to start a fun race that's great.

Our server is online. Name: VDA P&G. Password "classic"

I will wait some mins before to go in qualif session... don't leave me alone!

At the moment there are 3 people in the server, in few mins qualif session will start, so you have approx 20 mins before the race starts by now :)

Sorry Manteos, I had wandered off to do something else by the time that your post appeared.

+1

Well Matteo, Stig and Myself played tag for 35 laps, was good fun, and many thanks to Matteo
for offering the VDA server. A support ticket has been raised for our own host By Pete Allnut (picnic)
but I have no news yet.

It seems as though the server came back online at 00:07 this morning.

NOTE:

Posts before this one are from the 1st aborted run of this event, when the lobby was down.

Sadly I shall miss this one again!

Have fun.

As will I. I am in Cold misty Glasgow this week. I am going to attempt to get vnc working on my
new phone.

I can't make this race eihter  :(  Thursday night I leave for Hamburg on a weekend-trip.

One of the things I've planned. is a visit to this fine museum http://www.prototyp-hamburg.de/ (http://www.prototyp-hamburg.de/)


Have fun

Stig

Wow - looks good ! Have fun!

Replay and results posted.

Great track and fine choice of cars, enjoyed that one.

Thanks for doing the admin Tony.
3 regulars missing, (me included) but looked like Cap7 gave John a good race, great stuff.
 
I am waiting for v3 to be released, looks quite soon now. I may add one more event for a season finale
and then run as many non champ events as we need to to keep the ball rolling.
Then we can start with some V3 series.  ;D

Good fun, that :) Cap & I are always very closely matched. Missed the regulars, if they'd have been there we would have nearly got into double-figures!

Thanks Matt nice combo.  My night was a bit like the Curates Egg - good in parts.  ::)  Still trying to sort out where all the data is situated when driving,  ??? also a few seconds late on turning off the ignition.  Forgot needed to get rid of refuelling on pit stop or enough for splash and dash.  :hammer:

Practice went well, able to hang laps together to sort out tyre overheating.  New fastest laps all around, prac/qual/race.  Made good start and ended first lap in 4th but then accelerated too heavy/early and spun onto infield, rejoined in last.  Then I managed to hang together a run of good laps, passing Kurt when he had an off and keeping fairly constant gap behind Alex.  Front tyre wear started to affect my turn in and I ran a bit wide allowing Alex to get away.  About 2/3rds distance I screwed up bit time exiting the last corner hitting the Armco and damaging the front suspension.  :'( I managed to limp back to pits and like Kurt lost a couple of laps for my troubles, rejoined again about 40 odd secs ahead of him and had a steady drive to the end.  An enjoyable evening despite problems - thanks folks.  :rockon:

Unofficial LapChart (http://www.justanotherpage.nl/Srou/PnG/GTR2_06_pukekohe_park_2012_10_25_20_40/)

Just realised that this was the last race of the Aussi/NZ season. Looks an aeon ago that I 'won' the first race on an empty track.
Since then only moved backwards to a 6th place just after Tony. Congrats WT. In the team championship somehow managed to win from the Bustards. Yeah!  ;D

Congrats to John, Clive and of course SpecialKS.

Shame Bill, we could have had a good fight. Always kept me eye on the pitboard and noticed you were right on my tail for quite some time. Good drive!

I don't think it is. I'm sure that Matt has at least one more event up his sleeve.

Oooohhhh... that will be exciting then!

Hope for some fast cars  :devil:

Hope mine's faster than yours  :yes:

Indeed, there will be at least one more event in the series. I may do a couple more
to try to sync with Tony's two series. Depends on P&G 3 to some extent.
I would like to kick off new series with V3 soonest, rather than run weeks of V2 series
that people will be less interested in.

BTW.  :sorcerer: there may be some "staff changes" at the end of these current series.

We will advertise in other threads, but, if anyone is interested in assisting in or running
their own series with P&G v3 Thursday night same sort of format, please PM Myself and Tony.
 :yes:

 Thanks, yes we could have had good fight, from lap 16 to lap 23 I was about 7 secs behind you and could see you in the slower bits as the distance closed - gives that extra incentive.  Unfortunately at the end of lap 23 I had my mishap. and that was that.
