IMPORTANT: The PLP app VERSION 1.1 /(http://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/index.php?threads/a-pit-lane-penalty-app-for-repeated-track-cutting-0-9.17852)) is required. The file is an attachment on the first message, download and install as it is.
The string that is posted in chat when you join should read: "PLP:running version 1.1,3-50-3-True-1.3-0.9-3" - if it doesn't, then you will be excluded from the results.

New PLP version out.

Updated (1.1):

Time Penalties vs Drive Through Penalties
To issue time penalties instead of drive through penalties, set PENALTY_MODE=2 in PLP.ini. This will write a chat message to the server log file (and in the app window) that the server admin can check e.g.

"CHAT [-XGN- Wally]: PLP: GIVEN A 10 SECOND TIME PENALTY FOR CUTTING|-XGN- Wally"

The number of seconds to add per penalty can also be configured with the SECONDS_PER_PENALTY setting in PLP.ini.

It's up to the server admin to then check the server log file and see if anyone needs time added to their race result. Soon, I will update my log parser to do this automatically.

Cheers Erik.

The new version of PLP will need installing before the race. The string should be "PLP:running version 1.1,3-50-3-True-1.3-0.9-3". We will still be using drive-through penalties until further notice.

Also, I can't get on the main server - it shows up as "Server contains unavailable content". It also doesn't display which track it's set to. Can someone with access please check this ASAP, as it's possible they've updated the track without mentioning it again.

Sorry some plonker updated the server.cfg file in a hurry before going away for the weekend and put garbage in it  :-[ Now fixed.

bah, no server tonight, guess that old antique GTL is on it  :laugh:

2:23 race fuel and meds so far for me in the Z4 (on a fast not optimum track) but need more laps  :)  Expect those beasty Nissans will rule again here though a well driven Merc should give them a run for their money

Before the latest tyre change (couple months ago) i was doing 2'16's in the merc but i havent really tried since..

Looking forward to this .)

Anyone gonna practice tonite ? More fun then by myself.

Look for 'chrisr race server'

Not sure what time but it will be about 6/7

Big windows update today 145MB, so better have it done before tonight's race or have it turned off  ;)

Lap count updated

server is up

It's up, but it's not letting me in. Says it's full already!  ???

It also says "pre-booked by server entry list" ?

Me too, says full, but says 0/20 drivers on the server, wont let me on.

Fixed now I hope, you just can't get the staff  :-[

A fun race, due to my ping problems i didn't want to push, just waiting for mark J to make a mistake, but he didn't.  >:(
I now have a fresh installed pc and a 20 meter long cable through the whole house , but still the ping is traveling fråm 40 to 115.. damn i am calling the sip tomorrow again !
Thanks for nice racing today the helicopter app helped out just fine also.
Nice racing with you and my best result so far :thumbup2:

GT3 series replays (https://mega.co.nz/#F!OxpgERDS!5XUfE684vBYJrIi9Wxo81A)

good race, even tho it was full of mistakes.

i qualified in race trim, but decided to let everyone past so i had something to do all race, had a bump with chris and then with some blue sls.. which killed my aero.. i was about 7mph slower down the straights and wouldnt turn in at all. :(

either way i enjoyed it :)

Managed 0 laps of practice and 2 laps of qualifying after the game once again crashed with some sound lockup thing and I had to go and find the latest PLP app. Qualified on race setup from Monza with a tweak to 6th gear and more wing. Surprised to qualify 5th considering never driven that car on that track before and had 1 lap practice and 1 flying lap before qually was over. Anyway, with ChrisR deciding it was better to pull over at the start to make his race interesting and Darren going off early I found myself in second.

Trying to hang on to Erik's tail was difficult on a setup that was quite loose but I found myself in a solid 2nd position and without mistake I think I would have kept that. Unfortunately I span about 2/3rds into the race half way around the track and lost all my advantage to 3rd place where a gaggle of cars were then located close behind.

I knew after that that Chris would pass me before the end but I wanted him to work for it so very unlike me I defended for my life to prevent him passing, but eventually I slipped on a curb and lost enough momentum that he was by. After that I simply brought it home for an unexpected podium.

Was fun, but it would be nice to actually get some practice in for a change and develop a setup for the Nissan beasty.

That was a great race, really enjoyed it. Felt almost giddy to be running so high up the grid for most of the race  :)

Qually was mostly missed due to having to reboot my router to reduce a high ping (turned out my tomtom was trying to update itself in the background)  ::) only got one run as I caught a slower car on my 2nd faster lap and had to abort, so ended up 8th :(
However I probably had my best start in AC and launched past about 4 cars down to the first corner  :o all nice and clean.
Within a few laps I was 3rd and stayed there until lap 9 of 14. :)  I had Anders Nismo chasing me hard the whole race and I really had to focus to keep it neat and fast. Eventually the super fast ChrisR and Darren caught us up and despatched us within a few laps. Try as I might I couldn't fight them that hard, just chase them once past, and finished the race a fine 5th on one of my favourite tracks  8)
It felt great to be in sight of the podium guys the whole race.

Any idea on what track we're on next? I've got my server now on LeMans running  ;)

I'll stick a proper post up later hwn i hav time. Yes, its lemans, from racedepartment.
