UKPnG Season 7 British Touring Car - Ingliston - Aug 30

[BillThomas]

I had simular problems Bill. What I did was very simple, I just kept  trying. I didn't change anything, I just kept doing  the same thing over and over, and by attemp #25 I succeeded.

Stig

Thanks, will try again tomorrow then.

Funny little track. Could register a 0.58.661 on race fuel with the 970 offline.

No problems connecting to the lobby after simply a new login (not registration) last week,
but could not yet try to join because track not yet installed due to other UKGTR events.

Hope all will be fine on thursday.

This is running on the Pilsbierbude server as the Simbin server is currently off-line.

Set your lobby file to 91.121.102.7 and you should get in no probs and with no need to re-register etc.

Try to join BEFORE race night and if you have a problem, please post here BEFORE race night.

Help.  Probably me being thick but made change and still can't log into lobby.

You need to register first, not just try to join the lobby.

Button on right at top of page.

Hi Bill,

I had similar problems last night. Tried lost of times to logon but always got a generic error and I was on the point of giving up.

Just now I registered with a completely different name and password. Even filled in a email account and... it worked immediately!
Could see that the SRoU server was running Knockhill (??).

It looks like that the Pilsbier-server has some trouble with existing GTR2 lobby names (with the exception of our admin of course  )

Hope it will work.

ps. going to drive the 970 rally style so will probably end up in the trees..

Alex, the Knockhill event was started by me as I presumed it was a forthcoming event. However looking at the results I see that it has been and gone so I will close it down.

The Ingliston event doesn't always appear in the lobby (I don't know why not). I have just reset it and checked that it is in the lobby now.

Lazlow has posted in another thread that the Simbin server is now up and running.

With only two days to go before our race I'm hesitant to change again.

I would propose that we stick with the Pilsbierbude lobby for this event then change back to the Simbin lobby for the following races.

Thoughts please?

I think I'm on the wrong lobby. what do I do to get on right lobby?

[phspok]

IMHO if everyone can register and log in to the Pils lobby we should use that
and help those who can't to do so (as is happening) Simbin lobby will
probably go away before the Pils one does. We already lost the simbin
GTL lobby, it's only a matter of time before we lose the GTR2 one as well.

I'm just grumpy because I am doing a grand tour of England this week
and can't do any races.  

I am doing the Wokingham to Newcastle leg this afternoon/evening

Put 91.121.102.7 in your local_lobby file. Perhaps because I had done it
at some time in the past but mine just connected and let me in.

But you may need to register as a new lobby name ( I think I am up to "phspok2")
don't give it a password, and if it does the registration, you should then be able
to then just connect to the lobby. It may be that it will accept your GTL lobby
name or maybe not.

We need to know what you have done so far.

Grumpy and not entirely correct.

We do not currently use the Simbin GTL lobby. It's primarily for drivers who downloaded their GTL digitaly from Simbins site. We use the Altbierbude lobby for our GTL. However all of our GTR2 based events, including P&G have been on the Simbin lobby. I do not know why this is but it is.

Safe travel's Matt.

It's sorted now thanks Tony, confused by all the reference to different lobbys, my age y'no.    When change of LOCAL_IP_LOBBY File as directed didn't work    I thought (not having driven PnG for a while I'd missed a change to the LOCAL_IP_BACKUP_LOBBY File but of course it was only the perennial internet log-in problem.  Sorry for confusion I've caused, all's well that ends well.  Back to learning track now I've used up half my practice time. 

[phspok]

Uhhh. Ok, was not aware that the Simbin GTL lobby still existed, it went away and we
moved to the German Beer one. I had not realised that the Simbin one had every come back
I still think that it would be (mostly) better if we just used the GermanBeer lobby for everything
as long as they are happy with that. We did lose the Beer loby last year I think and missed a race
but I think it is likely to be around longer than a Simbin one, as it's run by enthusiasts rather
than a company who makes no money directly from it.

"GermanBeer lobby"

"GermanBeer lobby"

 

Bitter is better. 

[Wiltshire Tony]

Also Budweiser isn't really beer at all.
