BTW Ironically I appear to have lost XHUD for this install?? Or is there a key that activates the display, that I am missing? Would like to get it working because I recall from the last time we drove these beasts that the % health diminishes rapidly during a race. Almost all other cars I finish a race on 90%+, but these were down on the 20% area at the flag Note Clive that you can adjust the rev limit on these cars, a lower setting will make the engine health last better & it makes little difference to the lap times. From the little practice I have done...engine longevity will probably not be an important parameter. Some extra armour plating might be more useful to protect me against barrier impacts. lol

Assuming I'm Steve ... Thanks Tony ! In the end knowing if I am going to be lapped will be simple: Do I see someone in the mirror ? Yes => it has to be a lapping car ! Actually I use XD, and should be able to keep track of how far back I am (the blue flag would just be a convenient way to be "awaken" when needed) Cheers Patrick

Hi there,
I just tried to do some practise-laps, but somethings seem to be slightly wrong. I got a "n.donnington.gdb-mismatch"-Message when I entered the server. Do I have to change/rewrite/correct the gdb-file to take part tomorrow?
thanks for your support

Hi Nobby, Donington is a standard GTL track and it's not called n.donnington. Here is a download link for the correct track http://www.mediafire.com/file/0bhd8uoy4kl3kpu/Donington.zip/filePut the track in your GTL locations folder and try it online please. EDIT: sorry my bad, the .gdb file is called ndonnington. Please replace your .gdb file with this one http://www.mediafire.com/file/77n9te5zhmt01a7/nDonington.zip/file (although the previous link will also contain a correct .gdb file). My guess is it's something added when used at Altbierbude (it usually is )

Okay, that could well be, that Altbierbude did change the track.gdb.
I´ve downloaded the fresh and clean gdb-file and replaced the old one. Now I´ll try again and will report here if there are any issues left.
Huge thanks for your very, VERY fast response and help! That´s marvelous! *bigthumbsup*

Actually now I've had time to think about it, the problem is probably with your .gdb having a different practice start time to the server version which I posted a note about earlier in this thread, so my bad (again).
So we may get more miss matches tomorrow night but it can be avoided if everyone sets their .gdb practice time from 06:00 to 10:00.

aha That explains the mismatch that I was getting too. off to hack around inside the .gdb file, this could be terminal if past episodes are anything to go by. Be afraid, be very afraid.

Okay, Problem is solved! Indeed it was the "wrong" practise start time! Just changed it to 10:00am and everything´s fine now! I am really looking forward for tomorrows event, even when I am a bit afraid about the first corner(s). It´s allways very tricky in a bunch of evenly matched cars to stay calm and keep the "overview" on all cars around. Nobby

As I see things ...I am always willing to help wherever I can with these issues, so if everyone waits and allows me to go first then I can confidently say that I will not be involved in any first corner incidents I cannot however offer similar guarantees for all the other corners over 30+ laps

After recent races it is more likely that we will hit you Ziu.
