UKGTL Season 18 Auto Tuner Cup - Brands Hatch - Feb 19

[misnoimis]

I have just yesterday connected up my G25 again and will try to make this race on Monday. By coincidence it was this series the last time I raced. I fancy having another go and will make sure my spectacle case does not fall off the desk into the foot paddles this time.

I had a problem with the Imp and Sunbeams. They worked fine offline but online I got the message “car not available on server” so was unable to race one. I tried to go online with the Imps #131 & #171 yesterday but had the same problem. I have uninstalled the Imp Folder and downloaded and installed it again but still the same problem. I am stumped.    Any ideas anyone?

Did you install the Imp/Sunbeam manually from NoGrip (for example - like I did) or did you use the .exe supplied by UKGTL?

If I remember right the .exe does install the mod in an folder EXTRACARS whereas the download at NoGrip unpacked the mod to the folder
EXTRA CARS. So - if the mod is installed in the folder EXTRA CARS it cannot be found on the server.

Just checked the server and all Imps are present and working.

My Imps are in a folder called Extra Cars.

Ditto the server.

So I think Kurt has it the wrong way around  

EDIT: Just checked the UKGTL download and it does make a folder called Extra Cars (note the space between Extra and Cars)

Have you bought the cars you want to drive?

Also..............recently we discovered a problem if you have GTL.exe set to compatability mode. Right click GTL.exe and under Properties check that Compatability Mode is un-ticked.

Thanks Kurt and Tony. Answer to both responses.

Yes, I installed them manually, cut and pasted from New Install folder into Extra Cars Folder in GTL Teams folder in GTL Game DATA folder as usual. Never had this problem before.

[misnoimis]

Yes I have purchased the cars. Checked the GTL Application. Compatibility unticked. Tried again online. No joy.

I have two Extra cars folder.  The Imps are in the Extra cars with a space, the other one is just Extracars no space.  Maybe thats it........Works OK for me
  Sorry noticed you posted that already Tony!

What do you mean by "installed them manually?

Thank you guys. Just done a lap in the Imp online. You were both right. Have to eat now. Will explain what I did later.

Tony, I mean I cut and pasted them into the folder and did not use the installer.

[misnoimis]

The problem of the Imp no show is solved. Because I had cut and pasted the Imp folder into the “ExtraCars” folder and not a folder called” Extra (space) Cars” it was not recognised by the online server although it worked fine offline. This is what Kurt was getting at. I made a new folder and called it Extra Cars and cut and pasted the Imp folder into it. Then I went online and tried it. It didn’t work. Luckily I noticed I did now not own the car (which I had when in its previous folder) so I purchased it and tried again. It worked.     Thanks for your thoughts and advice Kurt and Tony + Bob. I hope to make it on Monday.

[Wiltshire Tony]

Yeah, you have to use the installer cos it's also used for the server install. If the two do not match you will get online errors.

Glad it's all resolved now

See you on Monday night

[Wiltshire Tony]

If anyone gets the chance......................

I would really appreciate getting some sample lap times for the Ford Anglia # 43.

Please pm me your lap times. I will not be publishing the results of this survey. This is just to determine whether I could change the Anglia's used for this series.

Thanks in advance

Tony

[Wiltshire Tony]

Thank you to everyone who has pm'd me a time for the Anglia #43, much appreciated.

If you still wish to submit a time please do.

Just to say that the #43 will NOT be available for this event but may appear in the future.
