UKGPL Season 39 (Autumn 2021) 1955 GP - Assen - Privateers - Oct 24

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.

What can possibly go wrong 

[Phil Thornton]

Thanks
I have the files unzipped , do you mean copy and paste them to the Assen track folder ?

Yes :-)

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 ?
 

Hi Bernie,
The Track Gap Freeze Fix Patch V.09 is here http://srmz.net/index.php?s=1d55bf5d3d0f891eb7da6c3f35d87a26&showtopic=14247 together with instructions on what to do with it.

Don't forget to tick the box in GEM for the 55mod.

Detailed Patch Instructions:

As usual, you can put the patch in the mod's physics directory, the mod physics' Options directory, or the GPLSecrets/GEM+/Options directory.  Delete the original mod .exe and check the patch in GEM+ to rebuild the mod .exe.

Freezes were caused by two separate issues.  The Track Gap Freeze Fix v.09 patch fixes both:

1.  Some tracks have gaps between the track segments.  This can cause GPL's code to freeze the sim when any player or AI chassis runs over them.
2.  The 69X mod has a faulty 23.xml file in its physics which can cause freezes in corners.

Important Note--The 66 F1 mod v1 included a small size version of the 23.xml.  This file can be identified by viewing its size as 2.94 KBs/3015 bytes.  The Track Gap Freeze Fix v.09 patch cannot patch this file and may cause further trouble so don't use the patch with the 66 F1 mod v1.  We highly recommend you download and install the 66 F1 mod v2 located here:

Might as well be written in Chinese !  "Delete the original mod.exe and check the patch in GEM+ to rebuild the mod.exe "

 I dont see any "mod.exe " in GEM + !!!

 "check the patch in GEM "

which patch does he mean here

Bernie

get the file "77K Track Gap Freeze Fix v.09.xml" 

and put it in the "GPLSecrets/GEM+/Options" directory.

This is where the 60fpsV2newmod.xml is

Now check it in GEM and start iGOR

[bernie]

Thanx Axel

I followed Evil's instructions and got the track working 

I see yours are the correct way to do it so will probably do that post race

Many thanks to all , for your help , it is much appreciated

Bernie,

if possible do it before the race - as Assen is a track that made this patch necessary

The possibility to get a freeze is zero after you installed it

Axel , dont think its a good idea to do pre race , I have the patch already in my Assen67 folder ,I have tested on & off line , no probs .

There is a chance if I changed things it could mess up .

Thanks anyway

Delete the original mod means delete the file gplc55.exe in the main GPL folder. 

 "check the patch in GEM "  means tick the box that says 77K Track Gap Freeze Fix V.09.

The Privateers server will be started at the later time: qualifying 21:15 UK time (GMT+1), race 22:00 UK time (GMT+1)

[Pete Bennett]

So sorry one and all. What a doofus! I made a risky move when I really should have known better. No need for moderation... I should not have made the risky move up the inside into the last bend. With a long race I should have waited my time and been patient. I was quicker than the Mercedes so it was just a case of waiting for the right moment. Sorry once again for wrecking your evening. I'm off to hang my head in shame and not drive GPL for a few days. Punishment indeed. Let's see what the Mods decide but this is ENTIRELY MY FAULT. Stupid, stupid, stupid boy 

[francesco]

I had the race in hand but the engine have abbandoned me.
Firdt time with the 55.

[Ricardo Valim da Silva]

I did a recovery run, due to the touch, I managed to find an opening up front only, I lost a lot of time. Here with good straights for mercedes and ferrari.
