UKGTL Season 17 1971 RAC British Saloon Car Cham - Goodwood - Aug 28

[Wiltshire Tony]

I remember doing a couple of races at Croft back in the dim & distant past where the track crashed after 10 - 12 laps. However the last time we used it at NG, about 12 months ago, it ran fine.

Was it this event Geoffers? http://www.nogripracing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=365208 . Thirty laps is pretty close to what we want to do. I could not find a results page so do not know if it managed to last for the full thirty laps or not?
I notice it was the 1.0 version used.

Yes that's the one Tony. Actually having said it ran fine, I don't think I took part as I think I went away on holiday that day! Let me check with Cap about it, will get back to you.

Ran another session this afternoon on the Croft 1:01 ( no updates).....just picked a car and noted the time that GTL loaded, then simply tried to keep clocking up the laps, rather than setting the timing screen alight.

I thought my woes had vanished when I reached 12 laps without any problems, so changed to one of the cars I used last time, and started the same process. Reached approx 8 laps and GTL crashed again. That was approx 30 mins after the track loaded the first time.
Tried another car and did a further 10 laps without probs.

I am running XP on a 2.3ghz machine with 2Gb ram...whatever that means

Which car was it Clive ? - would be interesting to find out if others also have problems with that particular car.

Cliveeeeeeeeeee the next time when you have write the track version put 1.01, when i read 1:01 I had a heart attack......I believed it was your fastest lap !!!!!!

[Erling G-P]

Thanks Erling. We thought that the fix might be for the older version of this track.

Any chance you could try the fix with this older track version (1.0)? http://www.nogripracing.com/details.php?filenr=871

If any one else wants to try it please do. Probably best to delete Croft from your locations folder before installing this older version. Don't forget to apply the "fix" too.

Just did a brief test of the old version and can confirm Roger's findings regarding pitstops - works without fix files, but not with them; just like the newer version.

Not even the Class A cars are that slow

Hi   not so good, just got a GTLegends has stopped working using old version Croft no fix, car used Ford Mustang Boss 302.

[EvilClive]

Ok...

The first 12 laps were with the Escort FVA. Next was the Escort 1300, then the Mustang and finally the Imp.

The FVA laps were fairly steady as I just wanted to keep it going to test the problems, at around 1:38/39 (Definitely not 1:01 Ziu!!).
Escort 1300 was a little slower and the sudden CTD ended that prematurely. Rebooted and tried the Mustang which was a real handful, and I never really got that car settled, so I changed.
The Imp was huge fun, but lacked power on the straights, although it was not as slow as I expected over a whole lap.

I was trying to remember which cars I was driving in the first session, and I believe it was the 2 x 1600 Escorts.

Guy's lets try a GTR2 Croft version. Download this http://www.mediafire.com/file/7505hz2svgjd5dc/90sCroft.zip and install into your locations folder.

Then download this into your GameData/Locations/Shared folder. http://www.mediafire.com/file/szxcnf46fzq31vv/shared.zip

I've done all the necessary modding to the track files and it works for me.

Please give it a go. The layout is almost, almost the same.

Just tested the GTL versions:

Croft V1.01 without fix: 13 lap race, 12cars, no CTD, pit stop working
Croft V1.0 without fix: 15 lap race, 12 cars, CTD in lap 2.
 
I'm a bit confused. So I stop testing the GTL version and try the GTR2 version offered.

Just ran a offline race with 13AI  in the Mini in the GTL version. Set up for 35L  I finished 5L down to the Capri Turbo's so only ran 30.  After the finish line was going around the chicanes  and  thegame crashed, was going to try to run 35 after the others pitted, but no go.  Hope we can get something  to work, will try the GTR2 track a little later.  Gotta get my ears to stop ringing first!!

Just checked, & I did do that race & it ran full distance.

GTR2 version should be OK, have raced on it on several occasions without problems.
