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.
(3) The AI control should be turned off so that you have control of the car at all times, including pitting. Your player file should therefore read
Autopit="0"
Force Autopit Off="1" // Forces autopit always off
No AI Control="1" // AI never has control over car
If you still finding pitting problematic, experience tells us that its less to do with positioning and more to do with approach speed. A slow approach to pit crew chief has proved most reliable.

Special Notes: None.

Server is still showing Monza. I didn't take the liberty of changing it.
I had already 2 versions of RIverside, so deleted them and installed from this link
I assumed my version was bad as it didn't show it in the lobby  ::)

Monza is running until tomorrow pm to allow driver's to test their Renault 5 download.

Correct Riverside is called RiversideGTL in Locations folder and has two version's, Can-Am & Nascar.

When we used this track last September, (American Heavy Iron) there were modified 'gdb' files to prevent a premature event finish, do we need those again or are they now included in the download?

Well done Geoffers, it's a good job one of us has a working memory  ::)

I'll provide a fix download in the OP.

I may be doubtful for tonight's races. My Internet has been sketchy all day.

I hate to tell you guys but, I have invested in new hardware  ;D

Don't panic or leave the country, it is only a new monitor.....but it is 43" & 4K  :tt1: :tt1: :drool: :drool:

I have it hooked up and working ( it's a bit bigger than my old one!!) but I have a small question about Xhud? I cannot seem to enlarge the graphic that shows tyre wear etc. I had a dig around in the .ini file and tried tweaking a few settings but nothing appears to change the size to something readable?? At the moment I will have to get out of my seat and walk across to that side of the monitor and put my nose against the screen to read how worn my tyres are!!!  :-\

Does anyone know which parameter I alter in the .ini file to maybe double the size of the HUD display?

In the .ini file change this

; MoTeC HUD Scale
; Note: Only the MoTeC-Display can manually be scaled.
; Everything else is scaled automatically according to your screen resolution
; If the MoTeC display is set to tab-mode, the other info is also scaled (Session-Info/Standings)
; Value given in percentage
; 100(%) Scale = 1024x768 = 1:1 = No Transformation
; 0 = Disable scaling
Scale=200

Play around with that bold figure until you get something to your liking.

Bigger the number, bigger the HUD display.

No race for me today.  Funeral to go to.  Gotta show up, really like Riverside Nascar but you gotta do what you gotta do.  See you all Wedn. at a track I'm haveing trouble getting my head wrapped around.  Need more practice tonight and Tues.

Wow Clive 42 inch monitor!!!  That would scare the "H" out of me.............

Blimey, the rear end of my Cobra is going to look huge in that.  :P

I'm hoping that actually it is my Cobra that will be so huge that no-one can get past me !!….and yes Bob it IS scary big!!!!! :o :eek: :eek:

It was actually an impulse buy, when our local discount store ( Lidl ) offered an LG 43" x 4K screen for half normal retail price on Sunday. TBH I was planning on upgrading/upscaling my 23" monitor over Xmas, but my sights were more on the 30"-36" range. I was seduced by the price and big numbers lol !!  ::)

Not my finest hour of racing :-\

Race 1 I finished Matt's chances, and in Race 2 I caught Erling and Tony...so I left the track in disgrace.

My only excuse is that the gaps look bigger on this monitor  ::)

You didn't impact on me Clive. Must of been someone else?
