EDIT: Track download link updated.
EDIT: PLP app info updated. Use V1.3 please.

Sorry H@L


Got another link for the track?

As far as I know the current version is 0.9.1, which could be why it's not showing up.

http://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/paul-ricard-v0-9-1.6115/

I don't know if that's the version H@L wants for the race though.

Oops, thanks for pointing that out guys. :)

Yep, v0.9.1 should be used please. 1st post updated.

Just so you know v9.1 has 2 layouts. Tourism, that's with chicane(long straight) and Prototype, that's without chicane(long straight).

hello,

i do have pitlane penalty 1.3 !!! (not 1.2),
will i have any problems ??
in a other league they use now 1.3 version so i am not sure how i should handle this with 2 different versions, always deinstall and install again is not so good.

servus

You can have the old version still working. Just rename the folder and the py in the folder of the old version to something like: folder-> PitLanePenalty12, py-> PitLanePenalty12.py
Now all you have to do is go in game and under option/general/ui modules first select the one you need and then deselect the other one (this to keep it on the same place on your screen)

why dont we just update this race to v1.3 PLP, we are already using v1.3 on the wednesday night races?

I think H@L forgot about the new version being released. Updated.

Most recent version of PLP please racers. V1.3

And which track configuration? I set the practice server up for the tourist one.

Hello to all,
My name is Federico Z. I raced a lot with the P & G and GTR2.
I wanted to know if Sunday I can try to do 2 laps with you, I installed AC and the track and adding apps for cutting.

I'm available for clarifications.

Hello and thanks ;D

Hi welcome along, Your more than welcome to join in on sunday.


Done some laps in both the BMW and Corvette. Horrible understeer in the slower corners but still ended up much quicker in the Vette.

Yes, tourist config please picnic.

You are welcome to race. Just make sure you use the in game booking system to book in to the race. Booking will become available at 19.45 BST on race day.

We like to see fair racing and respect of track limits. :)

Panic - how many laps?

25-30?

Seriously - we were doing 2:07's in the GT3s earlier in the year!

I've started the server for 15 laps now. Better shout quickly if I'm way off the mark.

i was doing 2:11's so  14 laps

at least 20 laps

Its been set to race session only, i cant book.

I'll leave it at 15 then, have a bonus lap because it's a bank holiday weekend ;)

What lap times have you been doing? On the right version of the track, we're using the one with chicanes on the back straight

think my best is 2.06

Something gone wrong with the timings?

I tried to request booking but it seems to indicate the race has already started with nobody on the server.

As i said!

Sorry is that any better? Sorry I've no access to AC tonight to check it  :-[

Works for me, thanks Pete

Phew - it appears the INI file is case sensitive (Time != TIME)

Dodgy programming!  ;D

Another VERY low turnout, but had an enjoyable race with Reinhard for half the race until he passed me and I lost all concentration and heart as nothing left in the race for me then. :(

Gotta moan again about this ridiculous PLP app though ;D. The new version is as bad as the last at detecting anything properly. I span off on one lap and lost 10 seconds in the span, but it decided that was definite cheating so go have a stop and go. Couple of dubious ones and a couple of not dubious ones during the race, but just thoroughly annoyed that all the leagues run this stupid app and it simply doesn't work. The game itself does a better job than this ridiculous app.

downloaded the track at 8pm. got on track at 8:20pm, with about 15 mins practice I was still about 15 seconds off the pace and locking the fronts at almost every corner so just tried to stay out of everyones way during the race and get a bit more experience of the GT2's.

Hi folks the race was ok wish rheinhard and simon had took the ss so we could battle a bit more , but i suppose caution was the key . My ss was fine at the end. Enjoyed lapping spanner (bit of revenge for imola) ;) .http://www.mediafire.com/download/8g2ycw88dvq3ukd/acu_estoril90s_v.1.01.rar has anyone tried this track mod its fantastic and a great track to boot would be great for a race.

Sorry for my absence last night, my 'puter went bang yesterday (yes bang and yes, I went poop around that same time). It happened in the middle of the MotoGP too, never got to see the end of that race, or the Moto3.

Now I'm stuck with an aged laptop, that my wife uses to play solitaire... Its running Vista and IE9, couldn't even watch the bikes on it.

At detection, yes. At the actual penalty? I don't think slowing a GT car down to 50kmh ON TRACK is a suitable penalty, and I doubt I'm the only person thinking that.

No chance. I can't make softs last that long so there's no hope of using super softs for the race with my driving ability.

Yes the ingame penalties are stupid too. Doesn't mean PLP is any good. How can it not tell that you lost 10 seconds when "cutting the track"?! If it can't do something like that then I'd rather have no penalties at all and leave it to the conscience of the driver and the incident reporting system.

Even though i spent the race on my own i still enjoyed driving it. With about 2mins to go of Qually my game locked up but didnt notice for a while. By the time i started it up again and loaded the setup i think the race was 30sec old. Found it strange it dropped me onto the grid, bit dangerous of cars were going to be coming past. Shame it would have been better trying to keep up to you lot in front, just tried to delay getting lapped before the end but that didnt work!
