First up, sorry about the very short notice - I've been away for a chunk of the week so didn't realise tomorrow was free  :-[

As the thread title suggests these are possibles for next season's Am's/Pro's (I think we're rebranding but not 100% sure yet!).
I'm unaware of probs on the 76 version of Salzburg but as the 74 version had issues I need to check before inclusion ('74 version is now fixed so that's the backup).
Amaroo park is a wonderfully daft circuit that hosted Australian touring cars for years aswell as numerous other series and Motorcycle events - Based on video's I've seen it's not quite so bumpy, but it's still great fun!

Here's (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SF8oaqURlx8) the 1985 ATC race in full - Pt's 2 and 3 should appear in the links on the right, it's a great race  :)

Updates:
Amaroo park - none known of
Salzburgring - here (http://www.thomas-laechele.de/gpl/) - these look great and will work on either the 74 or 76 versions  :)

I'm getting paranoid of new tracks after the last two seasons. We seem to suffer from a lot of screen freeze problems, and even when we test a track and it looks fine, it bites at us later on. I'm a firm believer that it's not just the tracks that cause it, but something on the server side, as tracks who used to be OK are also risky now. It would be extremely demotivating if I lose yet another race due to screen freeze. It's a shame, because I love driving new tracks. I really wonder how come we never had screen freeze problems back in BREASTS when it was running in a more official manner and we ran A TON of addon tracks.

I shall give this one a miss - I need to get some praccy in for the britfun series that Badblood has organized.

I'm only planning on 3 new circuits this season H, one of which is new and has been run by lots of leagues recently. Salzburgring '74 was a known problem track but has apparently been successfully fixed, I'd prefere to run the '76 version though hence needing to test it, Amaroo has no known issues either - The rest are tried and tested at UKGPL  :)

That's the problem, Tim. We've had screen freezes here in UKGPL on tracks which were ran just fine in other leagues or by ourselves in the past. It's bothersome.

Just seen this Tim. Catch 22, there is a really intersting but morbid program on BB4 at 9.00 tomorrow focussing on the Grand Prix deaths of the 60's and 70's. But since you have gone to the trouble of finding some new tracks to test I will try and make it.

There's an inspired set of cameras for Amaroo, made by an incredibly talented, and modest chap, available from here : http://srmz.net/index.php?showtopic=2528&st=12

Useful for when you retire and stay to watch the rest of the race.  ;D

Wandered if it was the same crazed pooch  ;D
Havn't tried them yet, but will do so

Apart the last 66 race where I got freezed myself too and about it I have a suspect on server side, can you do a list of tracks where people suffered screen freeze so I can check them on T7 server?
Ciao

Only screen freeze I had on UKGPL was last summer, approaching C.Grande at  Monza in the 66`s. (dont recall which server we were on though)

I'll have you know, I've been reliably told, such apparatus is perfect for reliving future, past moments of glory! :P

Tim, both tracks installed on T7 server  ;)
Ciao

Ah, cheers Fulvio - I was litterally just firing the pc up to install them  ;D

Hope I'm still awake by 9, I've spent the day at a Marshalls training day at Castle Combe and am already feeling tired  :ninja:

 ;) been screen freeze a prob to anyone since we running my server for BREASTS ?

plz let me know , so I can check my server settings .
thx in advance

No, I didn't say that. I don't recall any recent screen freeze problems in BREASTS races. What I meant was we were running tracks back in the years of official BREASTS championship which were fine, yet caused screen freezes in the past few UKGPL seasons.

I really liked yesterday's test races, especially the Amaroo track. The chicane at Salzburg was tricky, but entertaining.

That's true  Hristo , I dont recall any freezes whatever during the old BREASTS days . although not sure about Ingliston ?

Seem to remember me getting frozen out there during 1 on line race , though even that could have been a server disco , my memory aint that good anymore  ::)



 

I was hoping to watch a replay of this.  Did the majority manage to survive a tight grid, and survive the 1st lap, unblemished? :angel:

Yeah, I think so. Tight grid is fine, as long as everyone is careful and respectful.

Being a bit lazy but that would be really useful. Can't see why tried and trusted ones would suddenly throw up issues, especially as we now have a rock solid server in T7_2 and, in theory, our internet connections are only getting better.
As to new new one's the div mods check them against the main lists and, if there's any doubt, we'll try them out. As you say H it's good to try a few new ones.
