UKGTL Season 15 Fifties Endurance - Schottenring - Oct 26

[Wiltshire Tony]

Tony, time of day for the race is shown as 04:00.  Just wanted to verify that it isn't a 'printing error' ?   

Cheers,
Erling

Early morning start for this one

[Geoffers]

 I have had my suspicions for some time, but this confirms it, TONY IS A SADIST

It's hard enough to know where you are going in broad daylight

Yup, preserving one's headlights should be top priority - it's pretty dark in places at 04:00.. 

Cheers,

hi

it´s a very nice track, real good looking............
but, i want see it at this racetime.
much more worth, I did test offline, 15 drivers, race start 4:OO.................FPS 18....................
ok, no way for me to do this race without bringing others in danger due to my FPS

perhaps a change to middle of day?
(night race on small track would be ok)

greets hayman

No probs Hayman. The last thing I want to do is hinder drivers joining us. I'll set time of day to 14:00.

Not tried 04:00 yet, but on my i5 with a decent Nvidia card it gets stuttery with all those trees in daylight

[Wiltshire Tony]

Flippin 'eck your a tough crowd to please 

I'd suggest turning shadows down a tad

[Bob M.]

Thanks for the change Tony.  I too got a little stuttering in daylight but turned down the settings and it mostly went away.  Still a little going around those 2  sharp turns on the cobblestone streets, but a little stuttering is better than a crash in the dark IMHO................

Edit:  I do like the challenge of a night race though.  We used to do them in the old Mini league a couple times a season.  And we have a Mini series coming up---Hint---Hint.

See you all at the track

6:05 best time so far, still haven't got all the sections sorted, but I am not going to go much faster than that.
Tried all the cars. Took 10 goes to complete a lap in the Aston, the Mazzer is too slow in the corners, and eats tyres
like a rabid dog. The Jag is oddly rather nice here, and quite quick, the 350 Ferri is not nice and the 250 is the easiest to drive
though the Jag is not much harder.

Oh, and I have learned how to get out of one the ditches that I kept falling into

Hi guys, back from my holiday and thought that maybe I should take a lap or two around this circuit before Monday's race.

So downloaded the track and fired up GTL.
Everything fine, select track ( Scottenring 67) and watch the "loading" bar creep across the bottom of the screen.
Get to 95% loaded and it stops??
Ctrl-alt-del and "GTL has stopped responding" message.??

Maybe d/load was corrupted?
delete track file and new download.
install and check that track file is in " Game Data/Locations...all OK

fire up GTL
95% loaded and it stops again.

Now tried this 3 times, anyone got any clues???

Even tried with different cars, just in case, but no joy.

[Wiltshire Tony]

Clocks change in UK from BST to GMT.

Non UK Drivers should check how this effects them locally.

I have found that tracks generally load ok but bad car mods cause crashes. But as we have used the same cars all season I don't think that can be the cause. I'm struggling to think of what might be causing this track not to load.

Can you try this. Set up for an offline race but select no opponents. You will be the only car in this race. See if the track loads now. If it does, try again with another car.
