Moderator's Report

The race distance may have been too much for some, which can be the only explanation for the Waza 1-2-3 finish.

There were mutterings in the ranks of in-team fighting and the mention of somebody trying to stitch a kipper for some reason?

Surely the same can't happen at Monza - The Waza's graveyeard?

more about race distance:
I see even more people agree to the race distance being to long and I disagree so much. As I said before this has to do with personal preference and theres no right or wrong here. However,  if I add up all my practice time, the time spent in races would be completely dwarfed no matter if the races were 30 mins or 1 hr 30 mins. Ofc it s hard to keep concentration level up for a long time , but isn t that a major part of what formula 1 racing is about? some times one will have to do loads of racelaps alone too, but I think that also is part of the charm. Only the Americans need action all the time...I will end this by saying out moderatly load  "Hope the races will be longer next season " Smiley

If this was the only division (and league) that I was racing I won't mind even GP distances. I used to do MoG in the past, GP distance races, and it was OK as all my effort and focus was on that Championship. But it's a different matter when you race in a couple of divisions per league and then a couple of leagues at the same time. It all adds up you know.

If UKGPL drops all other divisions and focuses solely on a 65 Championship, personally I won't mind whatever distance, but that's not the case here.

And yet there's another factor - handicapping. If we were all put on equal terms I won't mind longer races as much as now, because I wouldn't need to exert myself additionally to compensate for a (slow) car's lack of power (or abundance of weight in other cases).

Overall it would be nice to have some sort of consistency in the divisions, not some which are much shorter than other, and some that have much less handicapping than other. That's in my opinion of course.

Cheers,

Just as a side note, I am working on getting a company ADSL2+ line (with Annex M if it's enabled by then) installed at my folk's place as a 2nd line, so that I can push a server and use it for my own benefit. If things go according to plan, I can get it set up as a server for UKGPL usage, but would need some testing pre-season. Again, this is pending everything going through, so no guarantees yet.

They can, however, put a server in tele-house in London on a dedicated 100Mbit line for my benefit at a certain price to myself. Would that be beneficial?

That would be a great help Jethro but the problem isn't download speed it is latency.  I'm not sure but I think contention ratio will have an effect which might be why our domestic connections suffer more from lag.  As far as I know domestic connections generally have a contention ration of 50:1 whereas commercial lines usually have a contention ratio of 20:1.  I'm not sure about commercial games servers but I suspect they are towards the 20:1 mark.  The speed of the PC isn't crucial compared to the line latency so a cheap or second hand PC should be OK as a server.  My server is a AMD Sempron 2800 and UKGPL_1 (when it was running) was a pentium III.  The problem with my server is the line not the PC itself.

We've been checking out a possibility of using a virtual server (cheaper than a dedicated physical machine) but it didn't have the performance we need.

If your line was a commercial rather than domestic (sounds like the one in Telehouse should be) I'm sure it would be a much better prospect!

The company I work for specialises in VoIP and provides lines dedicated to low latencies and as few hops as possible. I'm also very close to the exchange, so upload speeds won't be an issue in that respect.

I'm leaning more and more to getting a dedicated server for my usage in Telehouse. Nothing virtual, but I'd like GPL to run on Windows 2003. Smiley

Mike had a go at getting GPL running on 2003 server but he had one or two problems; so he didn't spend too much time on it because he already has a server running on XP Pro.  What he did find out is that it is not as straight forward as it is with XP.  However it is possible to do it because the T7 server Fulvio has been providing for us is a windows 2003 server.  Here is a quote from Fulvio describing how he remotely logs in to his server

Quote
Both T7 servers are running W2003 Server that it's more safe and reliable than XP. With it you have to adjust some settings in advanced options to give priority to application, if you don't GPL will run very slowly.
If you connect to the console via Vnc you can run GPL both in Software mode full screen and Opengl window. Sometime when you run in Opengl window you can loose the mouse, but you can resume sending the Alt-Ctrl-Canc command.
When you connect via Remote Desktop you can run GPL only in Opengl window and also in this way you loose the mouse but you can easily resume it reducing to icon and then resume the RD window.
On T7 server I have installed GEM+ and Igor and I can launch the dedicated server from Local Host in Igor or Remotely from my pc with Igor Listening.
