nice one Pete, just about to try it...after a 4hour drive back from Yorkshire  :P

seems to work fine  :)

I connected to the server last night, after the f1 race. And I connected just now, no changes to AC in between. The file I un-rared into AC is Zandvoort_36pits_AC1.16.rar.

that's the correct one Syd  :)

I removed all the confusing posts about track versions for anyone looking on here close to the race.  :)

Just use the track link in post 1...unrar it to your assetto corsa main folder, it will path correctly to the sub-folders on its own.

I am having trouble opening the track attachment, I think I came across this problem before (something to do with the program I was using to unpack it). anyone got any ideas?

7zip is a free program that will open rar files.

https://www.7-zip.org/download.html

Yes or you need a new version of Win-rar as I did.

M'eh i use a really old un-licensed version...still works!

Practise servers been a bit quiet so far... :(  catch me if you can ;D

B'ah you could have put a bit more effort in to beating my time jeff...only 5 laps  :P  git  ;D

I just cut the track whenever I am slower, those aren't counted, so it looks like I did it within a few laps  ;) :angel:

I can't say for sure. But I will try to join this race. If possible I'd like to reserve the red alfa romeo I used the last time :)

I will get you added to the drivers list Felix, thought you were on there already.

Provisional driver list for tomorrows race:-

1) MJ - Alfa #36
2) Postal - Alfa #38
3) Baikal - Subaru #111

You are only a 100th of a second faster, I can live with that  ;D

I don't need more, you'll fall off the track when I approach you anyway  ;D.

All jokes apart, it's really good to see such close laptimes.

Err.. what server?

I am not having any luck extracting the track files. I have downloaded the 7zip program. I can open other *.rar files ok, just cant open this one. Could anyone put them on drop box for me?

here you go, I converted it to a zip file and put it in my dropbox:-

Thanks MJ, opened up ok

Are we supposed to replace the existing ks_zandvoort folder with the new one or just add the contents of the new one?

It won't replace anything, just add another version of the track.

ooh nfsw is the first man in the 43's  :o  had hoped too last night but i only improved by a whisker  ::)

There is a small chance my connection to the world will be fixed in time for the race   :jumpjoy:



And..... no.. :(

Hi guys! Local UK time was changed? 1 hour later than usualy?
Jeff please pm me a setup. I am not done any laps before.

Sorry, won't be there again. Have a good one.

Our clocks went backwards an hour, so one hour earlier than you are used too  :-\

Hi.I like to drive TypeR #13 on next race,if its possible.

Had a few nice battles in the first race, but then in the second I got spun around on lap 2 or 3 and the whole field went by. After that I didn't feel like continuing. It's the first time this season I gave up on a race, but in almost every race I have been hit from behind, usually by a faster driver not being patient/misjudging my braking point at one of the first harder braking corners while following.

Grrr Sutol you swine, you quit the server near end of the race and caused a big lag pause that put me in the wall from a hard earned 5th  :gun_bandana:

Great couple of races other than that, shame to finish my second race in such a disappointing way with only 30 secs to go. Lost 6 places due to that with bent steering  :'(

Superb first race after qualifying 3rd  :o and finished 4th after a race long chase of nsfw nose to tail. I actually think he was holding me up  :o :P

Race 2 wasn't as great, that rascal nsfw changed lanes in the braking zone at t1 and I was run onto the sandy verge  :taz: and lost a few places. Then drove like a demon battling past several good drivers to get to 5th after a great duel with Fabri again  :fencing:  just as I was thinking 'nice haul of points tonight' Sutol quit and it all went horribly wrong as I got a big screen pause and rift freeze, next thing my car was in the barrier with bent steering and I lost all those spots from a big gaggle of cars.  :'(

Great racing again, tough track to pass on unless someone makes a mistake  8)

Great second race again. It took many laps to try and overtake nfsw and Stefan. I tried everything to make him nervous, but he wouldn't budge and like MJ says, it's very hard to overtake here without a mistake.
In the end I was gaining on FMG and Kimi and just like all the previous races, I wished the 2nd races were longer  ;D.



And guess who was right behind you again ;)?

 ;D Probably my best 2 races for a while, didn't get shunted off, didn't shunt anyone off, and didn't finish last. Result  :clap: :clap:

For sure, I think so too
I really hate zandvoort, especially turn 10&11 (I think they are called Renaultbocht and Vodafonebocht)
For me both races were an unenjoyable strain. I was lucky that overtaking here is quite hard. Happy that it's over ;D


Sorry for that, didn't notice it during the race :(

My Replay (https://www.dropbox.com/s/7vvaqiej7nxlh3i/tcr_honda_type_r_equal%40ks_zandvoort-zandvoort_36_20181031222351?dl=0)

My car was terrible to drive. Maybe I wrong something in setup.

Mark, you were really unlucky!  :(

That was a race to forget. Really enjoyed the circuit, but threw it off the track in race 1 avoiding people ahead of me. Fought my way back to 13th or something. Race 2, didn't get back in time and started a lap and a half down. Couldn't be bothered. Can we really not have a bigger gap between races? I had a technical issue that needed resolving and it didn't take long and still race was already 3 mins in! Basically a pointless night for me, which is annoying as I liked Zandvoort in this car.

BTW, I was in the wrong car tonight. I was in the blue Merc instead of the red one I've had for the rest of the season. Sort it!  ;) :-* :P :angel:

I agree, this is the reason for failure . I am tested and singed to "tripple one" car number (111), should to be full winner in RL, P, Q and both R, but in fact, i am driving in a 112 skin each race. Looser's skin number with appropriate results  ;D But i hope that things will change to better irl and in racing , just wait  ::)
Thanks for the races guys, was fun this combo, a lot of fights, but in 2nd race 1st lap needs a more lucky in deeeeepest bumpy drift  ;D and have time to practice and car turning. :) FMG you are vision superman in your VR, Fabri was not so lucky here  ;D But i hope Fabri was still alive  ;D I had 75bb in 1st laps , but...  :'(
Happy for Bob, Jeff and Kimi! And for others who enjoyed races  :thumbup2:
Jeff, send me a set please. I still wants to find a secret of your increadible laptimes!  :detective: :D
It's interesting that in this car each track can need a whole setup rebuild for proper racing :)
 

I honestly have no idea how I avoided you in race 2, I watched the replay from loads of different angles last night and now have even less idea!
The view from Fabris' car is especially hard to understand  ;D

These setups were made for testing purpose at Silverstone. I wasn't sure if I wanted to to softer or stiffer with my Vallelunga setup, so I created these experimental setups. Weirdly enough tho, I was faster with both setups than my more normal Vallelunga set  ::).

I've used the stiffest version for Silverstone, Brands and Nurgurgring. Setups for Zandvoort never work on other tracks and vice versa for some reason, so I switched to the softest version for this.

Softest (https://www.dropbox.com/s/mm4ys5r1eeu467o/Type%20R%20TCR%20V2%20Softest.ini?dl=0)
Stiffest (https://www.dropbox.com/s/1bjkavayhcwvtqj/Type%20R%20TCR%20V2%20Stiffest.ini?dl=0)

It's just yours lucky reaction last moment, my big (140) inet ping + small lag  ;)
PS Thanks Jeff for setups  :)

No idea why Shark would suddenly be in a different skin car  ??? I never change the individual driver entries from race to race other than adding or removing a driver.

Glad to hear most people had a great race :) i'd never thought of this track as a hard to overtake place until last night, but in similar cars it is very tough. Even when nsfw was getting a bit wild under pressure and running wide etc i never had enough momentum behind him to shoot up the inside and the best overtaking place at T1 is fairly easy to cover off by putting your car mid track.

@nfsw no worries on race 2. You got a slightly better start (again! - can i have your clutch?!) but i was watching you alongside through my side window with the Rift but you moved to the left once you caught the cars ahead and the slight nerf was enough to punt me wide under braking.
Still had great fun trying to get back past Bob and Fabri  :) after a few robust encounters with Felix who got his elbows out a bit  ;)

It wall for nowt late on thanks to the lag pause crash anyway. Can i ask drivers to stay in server in future if near the end of the race? With fuller grids its obviously straining the bandwidth a bit. Ive had similar in the practise/qualifying with people keep jumping in and out of the server for whatever reasons.

If we thought this one tough to overtake, we have tight and twisty Magione next ! :surrender: 

These lags should not depend from pilots connecting-disconnecting. All must to be clear here.
BUT. Only one reason of such lags from server side was if the server have improved  frequency of clients poll. Additional, it may be added car slots. Each car slot have a CPU load here. In hard situations it can bring an overall lags. 
I dont know and not sure in final , what frequency was set for our server. If it was set to 25 ( for better repformance) , we can revert it to 18.

It's still at 25

Thanks for the info, Pete!
Incoming Magione has 18 slots. We need extended version again. So, to avoid lost sync possible problems you can revert server pull to 18hz. :)
BTW i dont have idea where to download extended slots  version of Magione for now.

Quick google search gave me this link:
https://www.vivaiocorseracing.it/wpdm-package/magioneosrw/

You guys probably know better than me if this version is compatible with the current Ac version.

hmm, didnt think about grid slots being a problem for the Kunos tracks, you would think they would all have more than 18.
We still had 19 last night which is nice this far into a season where normally you get a drop off.  :)

I could be more draconian on the driver entry list and ask that anyone who cant make it to let me know in advance and skin it back to 18, but that presumes only 18 want to drive!

Re, the server lag. It only happened when certain drivers quit the server so not sure why you think its not that? unless it was coincidental with someone having an off in the sand which also caused a minor ripple i noticed. I think Zandvoort is quite heavy scenery wise compared to say Magione so might have had an impact  :-\

I completely lost my front "spoiler".

Such kind  server sync behavieur we've saw and investigated in earlier AC when tested game opportunities. It's just an experience and practice i've done  :) Overall scenery\server hz  overload in summ will brings it. Client connects\disconnects it's a smallest things ( last limit) here . I am only talking that disabling exits-rejoing here will be nonsence when the more global problem exist  :) Server hz is very important here. 18 and 25hz compared like Nvidia 7800 old card to 1080 GTX  ;D Just believe me  :wetfish:

Same here.. Red.. 57 points in front. No full speed avail. Sorry for that.  :-[ IMHO- just a random road bump was shock and  disbalanced my car..

No problem.
Cold tyres and a oversteering.
