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.
(4) Driver lists can be found on the Championship standings page (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=LM2R&group=318&theme=5)

Special Notes: Some of the cars have a "Modern Compound" tyre choice. Can I ask that all drivers do not use these tyres please.

Ferrari 312P ginsters?

Not the '79 Kayalami then  :'(

Tis

I've asked Dave to modernise the link.

 :thumbup1:

For those who can't wait http://www.gamefront.com/files/20435890/Kyalami79_GTL_1_0.zip

You're the boss Mike. Trust its a good motor :)

Track link now fully functioning  :)

New sounds available for the Ferrari 312P here http://www.nogripracing.com/details.php?filenr=32763

I'm working in New York City monday so I will not be able to race with you guys.

Mike, I think it's about time you designed a portable wheel/pedal rucksack thing that you can take with you

Bugger :'( Just had a quick blast in the 312 and its a great choice.

Top track, ta Tony.

I have an extra wheel and pedal set (Logitech G25), but I doubt the office would be too keen on my interupting their day with a bash on the track. On the other hand, I could possibly get others into racing. Anything other than work during the work day can be interesting and most probably more exciting than actually working.

Does this include all B16 variants or just cars 16, 74 and 77?

All the Chevrons e.g. Ford, Cosworth and BMW but not Mazda

Can't connect to server/lobby >:( Anything I can do?

same here

And here. :(

phew, I tought I was the only one..

Must have gone down!  :(

Can we connect using Direct IP?

Switch to Simbin lobby?

 :surrender: ?

tried direct IP and it still wants me to "Log In"
then times out

Tony is restarting our server

The Altbierbuden lobby and most of their gameservers are offline

http://www.altbierbude.de/

link how to play w/o lobby does not work :(

Only thing I can think of is to switch to Simbin lobby but somebody has to explain how??

I was in the server with Tony,Sqter and Bill... Jumped out to restart... Now I can't get to lobby :(...  Hope it clears up soon..

Not enough time.

Sorry but I cannot get the lobby to pick up our game so I'm guessing were shagged

I'll keep trying uptil 20.40 the I'll cancel

Thanks Tony will hang on a while.

Tony, is it possible to start out server in "normal"  host mode so people can go direct IP?
I've never tried it other than with my own kit

Not just me then! :)

I wonder how long we've been using this temp lobby, if it's like the 1st/2nd birthday... & something has expired :-\

Looks like the Pilsbierbude GTR2 is down too, but it looks like there are a couple of the Altbierbude servers running now  :-\

I'll try again then

Still down >:(.. I guess that's it then :'(..

Yeah, I'm calling this one Cancelled.

Sorry guys  :( :'(

It happens Tony. Thanks for sticking it out. Try again next time ;).

Thanks Tony, a pity but such is life. See you folks, hopefully, in a couple of weeks.  On coach tour all next week - Harz Mountains.  ;D

Ah well
I had a look to see if I could start our server in game mode and just "host" a race. but it wants a CD in the drive......
Perhaps we could fix that for future occasions?

Thanks for trying Tony and have a nice hols Bill  :)

GTR2 is up and running.. Practice sever as well.. Going for some F-1 practice at Paul Ricard, Cheers

Thanks Tony and Matt.

Maybe an idea to switch back to the original Simbin server?

or perhaps the Altbierbude Leute had a beer too many at the 24hrs Nordschleife yesterday  ;)

Isn't the Simbin server controlled by Simbin tho? Will they let us host events on it?

if anyone is still here, perhaps see if you can do a test connect to my server at
109.158.195.22

I think I opened the ports

Sorry, does not work for me..

OK thanks for trying Alex, I probably have the wrong ports open.
I wil shut it down

Thanks for trying Tony, cyu all next time :)

The cars not run at this cancelled event have been moved on to the next race so there will be a larger choice than usual.
