The Audi would need to be bench tested against the rest to make sure it hasn't got any 650s type advantage but otherwise can't see it being a problem to include it.

Don't get why they call this DLC 'ready to race'  ??? Hoped the Britpack would be first with an Aston or Bentley in the mix  :-\

2 new lmp cars  :o  ;D

And I wouldn't mind changing over to the new audi instead of the Nissan.... just too broaden the variety of the field  ;D

Any new tracks in the dlc?

Post by: Mark J on May 18, 2017, 11:07:20 PM +0100
Managed to get some offline practise in this eve  :) my experience in the Porsche was amazingly similar to this vid I watched after  :)

Onboard lap of Misano to help you learn the lines and braking points https://youtu.be/uD9uelcha4I (https://youtu.be/uD9uelcha4I)

This track is easy to abuse track limits and gain a far quicker laptime than a legal one so be aware I will watch out for it where possible  :detective: and I would ask others to keep an eye out too. A replay will also lead to time penalties for repeat offenders. Most notable gain is by making no attempt to stay within track limits on the last right hander of the double kink at back of the circuit before the hairpin. I don't really want to use the plp app but if lots of abuse goes on I might have to enforce it. I wonder if we could use it for qually at least to prevent illegal Laps?

Absolutely unknown track for me . But config is very good! I need 1 year or 1000 laps  to learn it!  :laugh: All what i want for now is to see checkered flag in race  :D I have no time for racing this week... :-\


Title: Re: UKAC Season 3 Blancpain - Round 3 -Misano - May 24
Post by: Maikel K. on May 19, 2017, 11:43:49 AM +0100
How about the first sector? I remember watching the real race last year  and all cars were basically with 4 wheels on the red stuff next to the curbs. Turn 2 and 3 it was I think.

Or should we just keep it to the actual rules of not getting 4 wheels out of the asphalt ?  ;D


Title: Re: UKAC Season 3 Blancpain - Round 3 -Misano - May 24
Post by: Mark J on May 19, 2017, 12:02:18 PM +0100
Yes turns 2-3 are contentious too as the impulse is to cut the nose off the left turn. It's a tight clumsy corner that one especially with a train of Gt cars threading through it! But again as per the rules, just two wheels off the black stuff  :angel:

 :o Going to take me till next week to learn this track, too many lefts and rights. Also am I going to be the only Nissan left  in race, don't know why I chose it but guess I'm stuck with it.

Yesterday I tried to join your server but I guess that it wasn't updated at the v. 1.14, so in the end I couldn't.
Did you updated the server?

Sorry not yet, was out last night and I need to buy the new DLC first so I can add the new Audi. Will be done sometime this afternoon.

Post by: spanner on May 19, 2017, 05:30:44 PM +0100
And so only people with it can join? I'd say remove it until nearer the race personally.

I'd like to change to the Audi but don't have an issue if we dont.

AC 1.14.1 is out just now  ;D

I'll be giving the new cars a go this evening if I can.

EDIT; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuWaPaGJrjQ
Seems the ai made a huuuuge leap in the 1.14 update. Might have to try an offline race for the first time ever  ;D

Post by: Mark J on May 19, 2017, 09:44:02 PM +0100
how does new content actually work? can you join without the new stuff, ie see it on track but your personally not able to choose that car naturally? or just totally blocked saying 'server contains content you do not have' or similar?  I always get the new dlc so never been faced with that problem  :)

You can't join if you don't have all the content. Should be a better solution letting people without the content be able to join ( especially for newcomer ). But I also always buy DLC straight off the bat. Some great cars for the price of a few beers, I'll drink abit less one evening then ;D


Title: Re: UKAC Season 3 Blancpain - Round 3 -Misano - May 24
Post by: Mark J on May 19, 2017, 10:07:18 PM +0100
Haha my thoughts exactly  ;D

By yes they should still let you join, it would create more customers to buy it after seeing a certain car or track in action.

Another update to AC yesterday evening, so I got the message: "Checksum failed" and kicked out by the server. Please update when you have some time ;).
During the first days after an update release is always the same. This game is NEVER "Ready to race"  ;D ;D ;D
Thank you ;)

I've discovered that acservermanager is screwed on my machine, it's not properly creating the files one needs to load on to the server proper - I keep getting access is denied errors or folder is not empty (not that it tells me which folder that might be)

Z4 works..... Nissan doesn't. Not tried the rest

Another Saturday afternoon wasted when I've better things to be doing  >:(

I probably will be sticking with the Ferrari anyway lol. Audi is good, and clearly quick but both here and silverstone have showed its not so benign as I'd hoped.

Pleased to say I'm back online  :) A good rant at BT got them on the case quicker and an engineer found a fault at my connection to their cabinet. Went from a measly 2mbs to 27mbs !  :o slight improvement :D

Hmm, improved my pb by 1.4 secs and felt pleased until I noticed all the faster guys times were on mediums  :'(  I just cannot switch on the front tyres on the porker with meds  >:( so I am about 1+secs slower on them per lap  :helpsmilie:  I cant stiffen the front up or it just wont turn in, (as I found at Silverstone) only thing I can think of is adding more front camber to put some heat into the tyre.  :-\

Like this little track though, good fun. I think we might have to allow using the red border areas as part of the track or its just going to be too tight with 20+ GT cars hurtling into the corners.

Welcome Tim, you need to pick a car and a skin. Send a PM with these, along with your Steam ID, to Mark J and he'll add you to the drivers file ready for Wednesday. Earlier you can do this the better in case of issues.

Slowly dialing my car in. Needed to learn the track first so happy with a starting time of 1.40. Will spent the next 2 days lapping like crazy to get the track fully locked into my head. Certainly some nice corners here.

Best sounding engine...Cough 'flat six'  ;D

Actually a Ferrari or Matra v12 is prob best ever  ;)

Welcome Justin :)

BRM V16 with Blower.
Also partial to the recordings of the Weslake V12 I've heard too. Or the Daytona out of GumBall Rally  ;D
VQ's can sound nice too though  ;)

Quick note for everyone, just for in case you suffer from this fault also.

Recently AVG and Avast (Maybe more, I've only seen these mentioned so far) have started adding ACS.exe to their respective virus vaults after an update going out in the last week(ish).
This will cause anyone running the game in 64bit to be unable to load any track/car, although the UI and launcher will function normally.

To fix you can either force the game to run 32bit in the options or just allow acs.exe out of your vault (I added an exception on mine also to be doubly safe). I've just run ACS in it's entirety through malwarebytes as a just-incase-avast-has-a-point measure but it has come up clean  :)

Looks like I'm bringing up the rear again - still stuck in the 1.39's with the Lambo.
Can't seem to work out the setup for this like I did with the Z4 last time around  :(

I doubt it. I'm in the mid 1:40s! No idea where there could be another 3 seconds in it! Setup and balance feel good too.

I'm going to now change to the new Audi if thats ok?

Bit of a dilemma with the new car as two drivers have said they aren't getting the new dlc  :-\ Guess we will have to stay with the current car set for now.

Majority rules as far as i'm concerned.. sick of having new content to use and isn't just because some tight arse doesn't wanna spend equivalent of a pint and packed of crisps...

if they don't want to pay, fine, they don't race.. its not like they wont get it in future..

Hmm I may have to defer to Pete and Dave on this one as although I plan this series it's not my website to dictate people buying dlc  :-\  Wouldn't be such an issue if we had it before the series started. However I did say from the off that people would be able to use the new car when it became available. (As long as half the grid didn't migrate).
The voting was 15-2 in favour of getting the dlc so really the two should decide to get it or not race.

Problem also, is now that any car changes have to be made on race day and that relies on me and Pete having time to do it.
Is anyone planning on wanting the Audi?

With a lot of cheating I can do 1:39s now. Don't like how much kerb you need to take as you're basically off the circuit for quite a few of the corners without penalty. :-\

I have the DLC but I really don't think you should be changing a series half way through. There is no big need to do so. There is an Audi already, it's VERY similar to the new one, so really why does it need to be included half way through? If it were 5 new cars then maybe, but 1 car that's basically the same as another, it's just pointless imho. Just my two pennies worth.

I think for this race its too late to make a decision so stick with the original car choices. This gives the two who dont have the DLC another week to decide on what they want to do.

It's an Audi, it's a GT3, tbh all the GT3s are pretty similar really. Slightly different characteristics but they are all inherently very similar, that's why they are so closely matched. My test drive of the new Audi indicated to me that it feels just like the old one. I doubt I could tell the difference if you selected the car for me and told me not to look before entering. It's like the Pepsi-CocaCola challenge only with Audis ;D. Maybe your senses are way more honed than mine. Do you have audi-tingling super senses and an Audiman cape?  ;)

It's a hard choice to make, personally I have the DLC but would not like to see people not racing because for whatever reason they don't have it. It has been a long time since Wednesday night racing has been so well attended and to loose racers because of it seems a bit pointless. Just finish the series as it started and then introduce the new content as and when. Need bigger grids not fewer.  Just my opinion, Bob.

What a dumb reaction, really shows your true self (also shown on your onboard Road America video). I stated why I won't be buying the DLC, and nowhere did I say it's because of money.

I'm fine with any decision being made about the DLC, I've been waiting with practice for a decision to be made, because I don't want to waste my time.

I agree with this personally.

Plus we aren't 'halfway through the season' we are only on the 3rd round of 10  :P so plenty of racing left to include the shiny new Audi. I've asked a couple of times if anyone is going to use it but no definitive answers.
If it was a 2017 version of the pork I would definitely be forcing it in  ;D

Regarding track limits here, we can use the red zones as part of the circuit as they do in the real series. But don't put the car any wider than the red zones. Capito tutti?  :)

Bit of fail on Kunos' part not having a method of seeing but not driving DLC tbh, even the method used in Forza 3 & 4 was better (Any car from a pack you don't have appeared as a black VW Bora - quite funny if it was in the place of a GT1/prototype  ;D )

I really enjoyed this race, awesome battle with Maikel during the first laps (battle = me trying to hold him back even though he was way faster, but still, very fun !) ..then I had a crash with Felix Simoes (?), who in my opinion divebombed a little bit into a corner ang crashed into me.. I guess he acknoledged it and gave me back the position, which was very fair and I thank him fot that...but still with the crash I've got some damage on the rear wing that combined whit the worn tires made the car a nightmare to drive, so I made a couple of little mistakes and continuos corrections which resulted in a 8th position.
Still very fun race!

Not quite sure what to make of that race. Made a decent start and kept it clean and found myself in 9th I think. Had a little race with FMG but he had more pace and got past. I then had a great long race keeping Bob behind but with about 7 laps to go, I saw Simon closing. So far, whenever Simon comes on the scene he always passes me so I knew it was time to put my foot down and I pulled a nice gap to them. However, with Bob dropping back Simon still closed. On the last lap we touched and I spun out. No idea who's fault but if mine then apologies. This then put me into the clutches of Bob again and exiting the last corner, he got a better run and his Nissan out dragged me to the line by .200 of a second  >:( I ended up finishing a disapointing 12th after what was an epic race.

That was a great race again. Managed 3rd in qualifying sitting between all those Lambo's  8)
Though the Nissan seems terrible at starts as I lose about 3 spots the first 100 meters everytime. Had fun with a nice close battle with Pagin for a few laps, going side by side through most of the corners, after that I was behind Felix who spun out a few laps later unfortunately.
After that it was just me trying to get close to the herd of Lambo's up front with another Lambo on my heels.
Is there any track were the Lambo isn't good at ?  ;D

Oh, and did anyone managed to save a good replay? I tried to load mine but it crashes once it gets to "loading car 2"  ???

Good fun that - I've finally started making some progress on the Lambo!
Had a great battle with Michael (linus) in the first 5 or so laps and then got away a bit - towards the end I caught up with some of the faster guys and had a good fight trying to re-catch Pag (I forget your real name!) during the last 5 laps.

Wierdly despite the game saving the replay with a new auto save feature I can't actually load the stupid thing - It crashes back out as soon as car 2 starts to load on the race and Qually session  ???
Loads fine for the session imediatly after the race though.
Who was car 2 in the server list? I'm wondering if I'm missing a skin or something?

My fasted lap got taken away from me in qually by the game, eventhough it was withing MJ's rules  :P. Still was able to do another decent lap, I think only 2/1000 infront of Maikel.

Had an iffy start with a double upshift for some reason, but luckily the guys behind also had an average start.

Gavino already blasted away while I was mowing on my cold tyres. Had fun battles with Massimo and Matteo. Massimo overtook me on the outside of the backstraight, as I had to lift off not to have the risk of understeering into him. Still that move hurt man  ;D.
Last half of the race had a lot of ding dong battles with Matteo. I was running wing 7, and that cost me too much on the straights, as they would just get alongside me easily.

Fun race, but to start 2nd and finish 4th isn't really a good result, but I just can't keep up the VDA guys  :D.

Grats Gavino, no idea how you make that Lambo go so fast  :o

Oh, and did anyone managed to save a good replay? I tried to load mine but it crashes once it gets to "loading car 2"  ???

Same here  ::)

Frustrating night for me  :(. Really cheeses me off when I put everything into practise before the event and qually to get myself as good a grid slot as possible at a track like this only to get whacked off track on lap flipping one  ::) >:(. Probably a good job the replay didn't work or I would dish penalties for lap 1 contact.

Qualified 10th behind the alien gang (and Michael! Who pipped me by 2/10ths - which I lost in just a bad exit on the final corner-d'oh!)
Got a decent start albeit jostled by a few mercs in t1&2 but kept my place right round to the final hairpin where I was clattered from behind and dropped to about 17th  :taz:
This was a nightmare as meant I dropped behind the no practisers! And with this track so hard to pass I was getting very frustrated losing so much time behind much slower cars.
Eventually I re caught Pete and apex who were having a real ding dong and when a car sized gap opened up between them I went for it. Knew it was risky at 3 abreast but Thought I had pulled it off until I went to brake and got clipped at the same time on my rear quarter. Don't know what happened to Pete but he quit soon after  :-\ hope it wasn't as a result of that.
Then had a cracking battle with Ecks merc that lasted quite a few laps until I got him with a sweet exit out of t4 to move up into 14th. Then chased Spanners Ferrari for a few laps steadily closing. He too defended well for a few laps until he got a wobbler at the fast 2nd right at the back of circuit.
Upto a dismal 13th I caught bob and Linus having a tussle but didn't have time to take advantage as the race ended.
Great track and cars, just a needless frustrating result after the disco at Silverstone  :( should have been a top 10 finish on pace.

Strange as it also doesn't load the qualify session, but it does load the 2 minutes of the next practise session where everyone was still chilling in chat for a little bit after the race :-\

I've just checked my skins and I have them all. I wonder if anyone on the AC forum has had a similar issue. Will be well annoyed if we lose this replay as I have every one so far and the battle with Bob and FMG was epic.

car 2 is Simon Gymer aka Shark. He and Pete are both using the same skin so I wonder if that might cause the replay problem? Though not sure why it might  :-\

edit..oh I see a known fault has been found, ignore me  :P

Also a shame there is no replay as sounds like there were many great fights throughout.  :'(

Baikal also reported beforehand. Hopefully they will get it fixed asap and make it backwards compatible.

Enjoyed that, although I got a drive thru for a jumped start
How are you supposed to start in this? This is the 3rd time running I have a jumped start penalty
which stopped me from having an even better race with people.
This time, I kept my foot on the brake while I put it into gear, every other sim I have ever done
lets you engage 1st with the clutch in and the car doesn't move, plainly I am missing something

What a race!
Started from the fifth position I had a great start and pulling the brake a bit I gained the third place immediately. At the Quercia corner with cold tyres I risked a bit pulling an hard braking again, touching slightly Jeffrey's car and waiting a bit to let him pass again. That costed me the third position but fortunately Jeffrey was able to maintain the second place.
Lap after lap Massimo was attacking Jeffrey in quite every corner with me adding to the party from time to time, then I went on the gravel at the exit of the Tramonto corner and I lost contact a bit with the duo. After 3 or 4 laps of hard battle Massimo passed Jeffrey on the outside of the "Curvone" with a kind of crazy manouvre :D, but it took me several laps to regain that 2 seconds of gap between me and Jeffrey.
Fortunately Jeffrey's tyres seemed a bit 'cooked' in the last laps, but I did struggle a lot to prevail on him, with a couple of 'caress' to his chassis before the 'good attempt'. I admit that I've been a bit too devoted to Jeffrey during this race :), but fortunately we both managed to avoid any major incident. It comes to my mind the touch at 250 km/h at the Curvone, but I completely misunderstood your intentions and I risked to cause a disaster, beeing very lucky not to lose the control of my Lambo and cause a spin to your car.
However, one of the best race of my 'career'. Thanks guys ;)

Massimo asks me to thank Jeffrey for the duel. Don't be afraid for the overtake, in his real life Massimo is even more crazy. :D

Gotta say this AMG is so slow in a straight line. All the cars bar the Z4 are way faster on the straights. Was expecting the Nissan to be fast on the straights, but even the McLaren easily pulled away from me even if I inches from the bumper on corner exit. I gotta feeling this is what I didn't like about the AMG last time I drove it.

There was a lot of bumping and barging on lap 1 including me and I knocked Jonzo at one point (sorry). He was then behind others so slowing to let them all past so he also get back past me meant I was right near the back and the rest of the race was catching back up again.

Quite a good circuit but if they are going to let you use all the red and green bits they may as well turn them into track, otherwise put big **** off kerbs on them.

I would love to see Kunos do a version of this track. Quite surprised they haven't to be honest considering its Italian and used in the Blancpain. I think it would be a very different looking and feeling track to this version we use.

I wish the were cooked, they were stone cold the whole race, much colder than during practice  :(. Guess I didn't push to the limit as much.,

It comes to my mind the touch at 250 km/h at the Curvone, but I completely misunderstood your intentions and I risked to cause a disaster, beeing very lucky not to lose the control of my Lambo and cause a spin to your car.

Didn't expect a late move in that corner, and once I am turned in, I am already holding on for dear life  :D. Was amazed to not see that turn into a huge crash, as I've seen low speed minor fender benders turn into big crashes. Guess AC's impact system is still a joke  :P.

Btw, do you have the new option autosave disabled ? It came with the new update and it's automatically turned on, but I think that might have been the reason why it didn't work for the most of us.

Guess that fixes the replay issues then  ;D

I made a little clip of the battle I had with Pagin. Still surprised we managed going side by side cleanly through the fast section at around 3 minutes  ;D

I guess the other driver who voted no was Gavino but when he noticed that he couldn't join the server he bought the dlc the day after. I would have voted no, cause I didn't see the need to introduce another Audi gt3 after the champ was already started, but having bought the Dlc immediately I simply voted that option in the poll.
I would regret if Jeffrey won't be able to join the subsequent races, especially if there are no more than 1 or 2 drivers interested to swap their car jumping into the new audi. So a good question should be: how many drivers are interested to change their car and jump on the new Audi?
Just my two cents.
