Season 39 – 1955 GP - PRIVATEERS – Round 4 – Assen
The fourth race in the 1955 Grand Prix series finds us at Assen in the Netherlands. Assen has a long history of motor racing. The first event, a motorcycle race, was held in 1925 on country roads through the villages of Rolde, Borger, Schoonloo and Grolloo. Between 1926 and 1954, the Dutch TT (Tourist Trophy) motorcycle race, was held on the Van Drenthe circuit. This was a 10.27 miles street circuit through De Haar, Barteldsbocht, Oude Tol, Hooghalen, Laaghalen and Laaghalerveen. In 1955 a new purpose built track was inaugurated which was shorter than the original but at 6.049 miles it was still a long track by modern standards. Over the years the track has been through numerous modifications which have changed its length each time. The 1967 version we are using tonight is 4.8 miles long. Although more famous for motorcycle racing, the track has been used for car racing (BOSS GP, Champ Car, DTM and several junior classes) but never for Formula 1.

The server is up on iGOR for testing. I've been advised that there may be an issue with the 55s on this track. Please install the no-freeze patch before you test the server and let me know if you experience any screen freezes.

It is the USA F1GP at Austin this weekend and as usual we have a clash of timing. Does anyone have an objection to delaying our race by 30mins to allow people to watch the F1 race if they wish to? The revised times would be: | Qualifying starts | = | 21:15 UK time - 45 minutes | | Race starts | = | ~ 22:00 UK time |

Screen freeze on every lap I tried so far , always at the same point on't cirquit Funny thing its OK with the 67 cars Is there any difference offline/online? Have you got the antifreeze-fix patch enabled for 1955 mod? Otherwise, maybe it's worth downloading the track again & reinstalling? (rename your current assen67 track folder first, just in case you need to go back for some reason). The EDIT 4 on the refereced track download page points to http://srmz.net/index.php?showtopic=9529&st=0 with an updated/fixed install package & sky update. |

Hi folks , Thanks for the replies . I have the no gaps patch installed if thats the one you refer to .
I get the freeze online or off . Its only with 55 mod which suggests the track D/L is OK otherwise why would it be fine with the 67 mod ?

Bernie, Those additional files are not standalone track installers. The assen67_GINfixUPDATE.7z is a compressed file (will need the free 7-zip utility from https://www.7-zip.org/) to open it. The resulting files are then copied to your existing \tracks\ assen67 folder. Once done, the sky.mip_CORRECTION.zip can be opened in a similar way (7-zip can also open .zip files, instead of using Windows explorer) & copy the sky.mip to the assen67 folder, overwriting the existing file. Before copying/replacing any files, you may want to make a backup of your original assen67 folder. If easier, someone can zip up their existing working assen67 track folder. You can then rename your current assen67 & re-create it. But yes - sometimes there just seems to be a lot of poking around required! Cheers, Dave. |

Hi Bernie,
as a fellow duracell powered simracer...and a computer dimbo, I think this is what you should do ( well I hope so coz it is what I have done.) Make sure that GPL is NOT running and that GEM/IGOR is also not running.
1) download the 2 zipped files from SRMZ as per the link that Phil provided.
2) unzip the GINFIXUPDATE to somewhere that you can see the results. It should show you a new folder Assen67 GINfixupdate
2b)unzip the Skyfix correction .mip and COPY that into the new folder. It should over write the existing Sky.mip
3) COPY all of the unzipped files in the new folder
4) Navigate to your Sierra/TRACKS directory and find the Assen67 folder.
5) Open the Assen 67 folder so that you can see all of the contents and PASTE the unzipped files onto that list, allowing to overwrite.
6) Close the Assen67 folder and restart GPL
Hope that works for you Bernie.
