Aha,  it looks as if the "sound files" are the issue.

LOL I thought I was playing safe by not adding anything to the car download.

Post if you still have probs. I'm in all afternoon and will check the forum often.

You cannot change your GTL for 2X fuel. This is managed by the server. Test online for fuel consumption figures.

Actually you can, but you have to edit your player (.PLR) file, using Wordpad or similar program.

If you scroll down, you'll find these parameters:

CURNT Fuel Consumption Multiplier="2"
PRACT Fuel Consumption Multiplier="2"
QUICK Fuel Consumption Multiplier="1"
FRACE Fuel Consumption Multiplier="1"
CHAMP Fuel Consumption Multiplier="1"
MULTI Fuel Consumption Multiplier="1"
RPLAY Fuel Consumption Multiplier="1"
CURNT Tire Wear Multiplier="4"
PRACT Tire Wear Multiplier="4"
QUICK Tire Wear Multiplier="1"
FRACE Tire Wear Multiplier="1"
CHAMP Tire Wear Multiplier="1"
MULTI Tire Wear Multiplier="1"
RPLAY Tire Wear Multiplier="1"

As you can see, both tyre wear and fuel consumption can be adjusted, for various events.  Mine above are modified for some of my offline testing.

Btw, I followed the sound recommendations when installing the Merc, and haven't had any problems (although it sounds just like the 300SL that comes standard with GTL)

Cheers,
Erling

Well I didn't know that! Good spot Erling. But do you have to set back to defaults on race night or can you leave the modifications in place?

EDIT: No I don't suppose you do, as Multiplayer has it's own line

I don't think so either.  When I began racing with you guys again, I had forgotten that my fuel multiplier was set to 2x. Couldn't get the indicated number of laps to match the 'no pitstop required' of the races, as in some of them, it looked to me like the race couldn't be completed without refuelling.  When I joined the online server however, I could suddenly do many more laps per liter, so it obviously ignored my modifications.

Cheers,
Erling

Hi Thanks for reply my bad Merc 53/54/55 work fine.

[Wiltshire Tony]

Lens flair can be turned off if it bothers you

Edit this line in your .plr file

Lens Flare in Cockpit View="1"

1 is on, 0 is off.

Tony, we use Vintage tyres for this event as in previous Seasons?

Either tyre Bill. Opinions vary about one being better than the other, so I'll leave it up to each individual to decide.

[Bill Grewcock]

Hello everyone ... I was told about this event by Ross Hawkey at RaceConnect and I couldn't resist the temptation to take part (long live GTL) 

I look forward to seeing y'all on track 

[Ross Hawkey]

Hi All.

Yes, I'll be at this one as well.

All 3 cars seem pretty evenly matched, so hopefully there'll be a mix of cars on the grid.

I've sent a couple of pm's around, so hopefully we might get a couple of new names join us for this one (Welcome Bill  ).

[Wiltshire Tony]

Hi Ross and welcome Bill.

We race GTL EVERY Monday night................just saying  

[EvilClive]

Welcome Ross and Bill.

Totally baffled here Tony.
 
I have deleted the track file then re-downloaded the circuit and the Merc 300 and the 380 as indicated, but the game crashes every time I try and run the Merc? It happens at the moment you would expect to be plonked into the initial screen after the track has finished loading.

The Aston and the Jag are no problem at all and I have done several laps in both, so I know that the track file and at least those 2 cars are fine.

You need to setup a trace file which will possibly give us a clue. If you have a desktop icon from which you fire up GTL please right click on it the choose properties.

After Target you will see a path to where your GTL is kept. Add this to the end of your target (just the stuff in BOLD text).

"E:\GT Legends\GTL.exe" -trace=1000  (note the space before the - )

Then start GTL as normal and after the crash go to Libraries/Documents/GTR/Userdata/Log_Dedicated. Here should be a file called trace.txt. Open in Notepad and cut and paste the content here so we can have a looksee.

It's a time thing.

I'd hoped to race in the WSC70 series here, but am busy elsewhere all too often.
