UKGPL Season 27 (2014) Historic Trophy (66) - Mont-Tremblant - Sep 23

[Ronniepeterson]

Grats to the podium of Tristan, Tommie and Iestyn.

The quality of my connection was also less than optimal and as I remember we have had issues here at UKGPL with this track and the 66 mod in the past.

Coming over the hill, once past Tommie and Rob quite quickly, this time it felt like a rear-ending of Ronnie was imminent, so I went left, caught the barrier, and lost it on the grass.. maybe if I was less frustrated, I could have saved it. Or been more patient..

  I saw you coming in my mirrors at Warp factor 9 and started to pray but am grateful you took avoiding action 

[Rainier]

I think Mr Martin "Maddog" Hunt  should be finally classified 9th for this race.
He was warping during all the race so he should have been temporarly disconnected. We fight during a great part of the race and he gave me a lot of stress

[BadBlood]

Took Bernie out on Lap 1 inadvertently. Haven't looked at the replay but I think I caught him out being cautious on the brakes.

Frame rates were terrible for me and my PC seems to have suddenly developed a glitch that means I am dropping to 25 fps. This makes the view so choppy that I get motion sick. Third race in a row where I have had to bail out. Pity, cos I was looking forward to battling for the wooden spoon with BD.

Wondered where you got to Paul , I deliberately chose to use only 2nd gear to give you a chance 

[bernie]

Sorry to be the mobile chicane again Iestyn I could see you were warping like a jelly on a plate so tried to give you as much room as possible . Your frustration is matched by mine , even more so as I just cant get the hang of this 66 mod , no idea how to set the cars up , I'm way too slow and getting way too old, blue flags waving have become a regular feature by now but looking on the bright side at least I get to give  give the rest of you boys some target practise !

Well done on the podium , great stuff  

Bernie, just can just copy over your 1965 Lotus setups to 1966, works out of the box! That what I did with my car anyway. I used a Mosport setup for the 1965 Lotus 33 for my 1966 Lotus 33 BRM. Just changed the gearing a bit, and pumped up the tires 1 psi. Make sure you pay attention to the tire pressure so it reads the same as default! It's the only thing that doesn't work out of the box all the time .

You can find your player folder at the following address:

C:\Sierra\GPL\players\Darwin__Bernie66\setups\

I copied a 1965 setup from my 1965 player's mosport setup folder, to my 1966 player's stjovite setup folder. I had to change the extention from the original .lo1 to .lq1 to get my 1966 Lotus 33 BRM to recognise the setup in game, but it worked. I think that when you want to use a 1965 Lotus setup for the 1966 Lotus 33 Climax that you were using, you have to change the extention from .lo1 to .lp1 .

Recap:

1.) Go to your 1965 player's mosport setup folder: C:\Sierra\GPL\players\Darwin__Bernie65\setups\mosport
2.) Copy your favorite Lotus setup (file extention .lo1)
3.) Go to your 1966 player's stjovite setup folder: C:\Sierra\GPL\players\Darwin__Bernie66\setups\stjovite
4.) Paste your favorite Lotus setup in this folder
5.) Rename the file extention from .lo1 to .lp1 (.lp1 for '66 Climax, .lq1 for '66 BRM)
6.) Drive .

You can find more setups at the GPLTD: http://gpltd.bcsims.com/?sbtd=mosport (Downloading a setup can take quite a while for some reason, perhaps one minute, patience is required )

I have to say the level of competition seems extremely high at the moment, so having a setup that you like is mandatory .

Amazing !  

Give the guy a life peerage of UKGPL or better , hows about "Freedom of Wigan England "  

Thanks for the ideas Tom , off now to find some 65 set up's and try them out on the 66's

[Doni Yourth]

My fps was good throughout but my latency bar was making like a yo-yo much of the time.  At one point, it went right to the top and I figured to be KO'd at any second.  Remarkably, my connection held and I managed a finish.  And a lucky one, too, as after a small error handing me a place, Andreas lit the rockets on his Lotus and made a real fight of it at the flag.  Good job, AG!

Grats on a fine win, TB!

Glad to help! Hope it works .

I recently tried out Direct 3D v2 and I wasn't getting enough FPS. It was harder to drive with choppy graphics. I switched back to Open GL V2, and it plays much smoother. I think that the component that slows things down on my PC is the slowish hard drive.

I wonder if turning off some of the Prib data would help your FPS?

Ho ho...
