UKGPL Season 30 (2016) Historic Trophy (66) - Zandvoort - Sep 4

. . . . Maybe it's time to blacklist Zandvoort?

I guess that Martin's comment about Zandvoort is intended to highlight the myriad possibilities for a mas disco. If it is a hardware issue I don't think we can complain, as all of our servers are provided free by  our generous members.

I am not the person to ask about these tekky issues and some of you are far more aware than I am about the interwebnet etc. Am I to understand that we have no means of monitoring what causes these mass disconnects?
I can appreciate that a single disco could be at the client end of the connection, but when we have a whole race shut down on a track that is known to be solid, are there not some clues about what went wrong and where?

That was fun while it lasted. Tristan was driving the heck out of his car. I was enjoying watching it. He made me want to try the 2L Brabham on this track soon. I enjoyed it the one time I've driven it.

Tristan opened a gap quickly. It made me wonder if the 2L engine requires much less fuel. He got in the grass a little at one point and let me close that early gap. After a few laps and my tires were warm, I could keep pace with him. I'd lose a little time throughout the lap except when he slid wide, but I'd make most of it up on the straight. I was careful not to try too much since I don't have much experience with these cars yet. I was glad to keep up but there wasn't any reasonable way I could get closer for the first several laps.

Tristan who looked like he would take the BT11 / BRM home in first place.

Don't be so sure Billy. I didn't think I was having to drive as hard as Tristan. I wasn't sliding much like he was. I was getting closer just as the race ended. I was getting smoother too. And I'm not going to be easy to beat when I'm driving this consistently.

Lap 6: 1m27.206s
Lap 7: 1m27.228s
Lap 8: 1m27.019s
Lap 9: 1m27.009s
Lap 10: 1m26.896s

I was looking forward to the rest of the race. I was content to trail for the next third of the race, hoping to improve my driving, and then turn up the pressure for the last third.

I'm growing fond of this mod. It may be my second favorite F1 mod now. I think as I drive it more I'll grow to like it more than the 69X mod. That's unusual since I seem to prefer the higher powered cars most. The 67s will probably always be my overall favorites. I must be a prototype driver by nature though, because the GTs and 71 Can Ams remain my favorite mods.

Congrats to Tristan! That's was a good drive and I was very pleased to be able to stay close. I look forward to some more races in these cars.

I don't know much if any more than Clive. That's two in a row for me. I wonder if I could play a part in some problems. As we're spread further around the planet, it's seems connection problems would be more likely. At Brands I thought if latencies cause a problem, I should probably be one of the first dropped since I'm the furthest in distance from the server. I also wonder if I get a screen freeze from my computer could it cause others to be discoed when I am? My computer is prone to screen freezes at Bsarthe offline.

I usually have a latency of .180-.200. I rarely have trouble at that latency. I can drive close to other cars most of the time. I'm more careful with Doni and Dean since our signals traverse the Atlantic. I seem them warping occasionally so they must see me warping some too.

Looking for patterns is the only thing I know to do concerning software problems. Tris disappeared just before Panoramabocht. I turned the meters on as I got on the straight. My Q meter was very high. The other two didn't appear out of the ordinary. I drove almost to Tarzanbocht before I got the reconnect screen. I think others mentioned a different meter being unusual.

Thanks for the laugh Dean. My commiserations. Be careful Marco. We already have enough words, Dean doesn't need to be adding to the language.

And thanks to all of you. I hope we can keep getting more fun from this sim.

This mass disco had nothing to do with hard- or software problems of the server, it worked fine without any issues.
I do monitor it with open Hardware Monitor where I get a graph for the event with temps, clocks and load.

I even have checked my router for any issues, but there were no interrupts or issues at the time.

? it says that I "resurrected" and did not disconnect at all. ??

Well, when all other cars vanish and a few seconds later the screen goes black and you crash to desktop, I would consider that a disco?

From your server report it looks like the server thought we were all still there? which is puzzling.

[Cookie]

Yes, it seems there was a 5sec hole (gap) in the net.

[Marco Mercaldo]

Sorry guys anyone has the replay? being the cause of the zandvoort disaster , I'd like to see it...........however I have no doubt about the God logan judgments.......

I didn't say you were the cause of the either incident, but that YOU were the cause of MY involvement. The incident that caught you was cleared up, it was YOU deciding to drive straight onto the race line (against politeness, sportsmanship, and league rules) that ended MY race (after your brother ended Cookie's [and almost mine]).

........however I have no doubt about the God logan judgments.......

We're looking into it Tris. Stay tuned.

[DLogan]

This is going to be re-run, right?

[Robert Fleurke]

This is going to be re-run, right?

It's up to the div mods to re-schedule it, I'm not sure myself

It's confirmed there will be a re-run of this race, Phil will reschedule it.

[Piero Mercaldo]

Good news!
