UKAC Season 2 Porsche Cup - Imola - Feb 15

[FullMetalGasket]

I like the new tires - My setup that I made at the weekend appears slower now but the car moves around more.
I've also noticed they fixed the ABS and auto-clutch dash lights which is actually proving helpful already

Hi, not sure where to post this but a friend is currently trying to sign up and has tried for the past few days, but keeps receiving an error message for the forum.

Sorry Sam it's just too short notice as we have a full 24 in the entry list. I'm sure we can drop someone but it needs considered thought. We'll try for next week.

Just launching the server now, it'll be 17 laps based on the times in Stracker.

Yes Mark.
" So we can do it in future GP:
[SERVER]
bla bla bla
ALLOWED_TYRES_OUT=3

aaaand :
 [RACE]
NAME=Race
LAPS=68
ALLOWED_TYRES_OUT=4
WAIT_TIME=xxx
IS_OPEN=xxx
"
I'll repeat that it working good in 1.12 too .  In qualy we will have 3 wheels cutting control ( if more - the lap will be invalid)
In race we will have cutting control disabled ( 4 wheels out alowed) .   

Many thanks, worked really well...not

Pretty disappointed in what happened. Clearly there was an issue with the server which is why everybody disconnected after each session. I qualified 4th and had trouble reconnecting to the server and when the game finally allowed me back in I was a lap down. Thought as it was your mistake it would have been nice to wait for everybody who was in the lobby to reconnect before starting the race.

Yes. BUT. All was correct with lines cutting.. But blackflagged penaltyes was on. Its not a my problem man..  Videos downloading.  
Cut detection is a diffetent things here. IN AC we have a black flagged zones in tracks. Original AC Imola have many such zones. Its not turning off.  Just in 1.12 we have an option to change this penalty . But unfortunatelly it not was done.. Befor this we have to disable this in moded imola track and using it in leagues. But UKAC have the orig content.. With these f*** zones on.
Strange disconnects after the session was big surprize for me too. I have tested 1.12 server i my lan and all was ok.. May be UKAC server is not turned good for 1.12. I don't know guys.
And in final i got server disconnect when i was 4th... Second time in this champ.. I am in sorrow ..   I have dont remember these disconnects last 2 years..

[Mark J]

did you get blackflagged nfsw?

Soo...when I jokingly said 'now ive increased damage I bet I am first one into the wall'  I didn't mean I wanted someone to put me into it before T1  

That was not a pretty sight tonight gents   Probably the worst racing I have seen in a while, multiple contacts, cars flying off left right and centre, guys almost sitting on racing lines/apex entries (keep going! don't bloody stop in the track!!   )  I was knocked off 3 times and had to take avoiding action to miss cars numerous times. Not a good advert for our league. (Oscar if you are reading its not this bad normally!)

Apologies to anyone who got caught out at race start after the mass disco. I wanted to delay the start but don't have control over that side of it.

I'll put it down to the perfect storm of new car model, new tyres and the server crashing between each session (We need to test that sharpish in case its something we had wrong) plus lethal kerbs, as all combined to destroy our focus, though some clearly had not done a lap before this eve and caused chaos.

In the end I had some great racing with Spanner and FMG but definitely a race to forget.  

Well done Maikel and podium for rising above the storm  

[Simon Gymer]

Mark, please make sure you raise incident reports for anything that needs investigating to educate and penalize (where necessary).

[Thomas Blackett]

Hi Guys, more than happy to get second this eve as I didn't feel comfortable in the car at all after the update. What little setup I managed to do before the was wiped out with getting disconnected. All on my own again as Maikel was on fire. Just keep on track and get to the finish.

[nfsw55]

Yeah Mark,
got that "slow down for five seconds or drive slower than 35 km/h" penatly twice during the race. Once for avoiding someone at Acque Minerali and once for going wide at the second chicane.

Better tell Mark everything he needs to know BEFORE the race and not just the half truth next time, Baikal

[Linus27]

Well, I did say we would get lots of incidents I'm not crazy fast but I am consistant but I was spinning and running wide a lot earlier in testing which is not my usual style. I just think the cars are now more realistic and need more focus and patience. It's how it should be, it shouldn't be as easy as it was before the update. Just going to take a but of adjustment to get used to.

Anyway, the race. Qualified a lovely 5the or so and made a great start and found myself in 3rd. Felt comfortable and ran about half the race in this position. However, I ran wide at Aqua Minerale and rather than come straight back on the track with a slightly blinded view, I thought I would play it safe and run around the outside to blend back in on the run up the hill. However the stupid cut track detection thought I was cutting the track and slowed me down. This then cost me two places Why oh why are we running this stupid cut track system. Nobody here is cheating and it's so arcade and pointless. Felt like I was playing a Codemaster game Anyway, carried on and finally came home a decent 5th so a good result in the end despite the arcade cut track detection rubbish.

[Maikel K.]

Didn't notice the rest was having so many issues, though watching the replay I can see why. I thought the penalty system only worked on quali and was just off during the race. Saw a few slowing down dramatically so that default penalty system seems to be in ( which is complete rubbish for a race.... )

And the weird disco's. Don't know if it's just this server or an a bug in the new wait time between session stuff...  


Luckily the car felt great     Found it actually easier to keep consistent.

Oh well, hopefully everything goes allright next week at VIR.  
Interested to see how the new car handles around that track.

Glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. So ruins the racing and fun factor. Highly recommend it's turned off for the race.

Its a question to server admin. I am a new here and i can think that admins in familiar with corsa. Original AC content have many such things..
There is two way- use moded AC tracks or ( sinse 1.12) we can change the way of timed penaltyes. Just read a server docs. 
I know- Picnic is a good man and will did it. It's easy.

And a lesson why not to change things during a season .

And a lesson why not to change things during a season .

You are not right here. My cut detection future is NOT depends in blackflagged penalties in race. My future was effect in prac and qualy ( to control 3 wheels out) . Understand now?   And its worked properly here.  
Good new futures in game must to be implemented. 1.12 new BF future and my tweak is such thing. ) BUT.. All old pilots knows this Imola orig track issues.
BTW after my total server disconnect i connected again in race and rechecked that all it fine here. Here is this vid guys)
