(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. Special Notes: None

Commented to Tony regarding Chat in our race meetings, either we had fast typers or people were using TeamSpeak. (I have used it in an AC chat room with Picnic and Spanner but have no experience of using it in online racing - had problems with AC.) Contacted Tony who has used it but was not impressed, he suggested I discuss with Picnic.
Regarding use in racing Picnic raised a number of points:-
- Sound levels, can you hear someone speaking over the engine/game sounds? - Use of a PTT (Push to Talk) button, if people use voice activation you often end up opening the mic when swearing as you fall off, clear your thought etc. It's also possible that the game volume triggers the voice activation, always best to use a specific button. This is easy to map to a button on your wheel so no real excuses. - Distraction - some people don't like to race with it because it can cause interruptions to your train of thought. If you watch F1 I'm sure you'll have heard F1 drivers telling the pit crews not to talk in braking zones etc.
Anybody used TeamSpeak and have an opinion on its usefulness? Is it worth giving it a try?

I've never used TeamSpeak. Even in real life driving I'm one of those people who find it difficult to talk and drive at the same time. I wouldn't mind other drivers using it though, as long as I had the option to mute it all my end, so to speak. I would perhaps use it during practice sessions.

Hi Bill used Teamspeak years ago with GPL group LOPEN good drivers but races were all about fun, half way through race the leader would call green and the slow drivers would come to the front and fast guys to rear, lots of info/tips and friendly banter during race over Teamspeak. With GTL drivers very competitive it could be a downer for me as have enough probs just concentrating on driving the cars. Some drivers might love it but to be any use i think all drivers in race need to use it. Just my opinion.

There is a regular group of us who use TS at RaceConnect. It can be useful for warning others when there is a crash, for sharing setup tips, for generally discussing racing/racecraft etc. One potential problem is that I have crashed on more than one occasion when laughing so much when someone makes a wisecrack ! You can easily mute your mic or headphones if you want to.

I've used TS in some GPL races with the ADC. Not too keen on it. It's a great distraction and I need to concentrate as best I can. I've since binned it.

@ Hayman3131 - tested server and I load the Merc fine. It's not the standard Merc but a special LM55 Merc. Read the download install instructions and let the installer do it's stuff. You also need sounds from another Merc download. That is also explained in the download instructions. The LM55 Merc lives here on your PC. Teams/GTC-65/Mercedes 300SL/SL_LM55 and there are three cars No's 53, 54 & 55.
