UKPnG Season 2 - Shot Glass Challenge - Monaco (1979) - Mar 11

[Clive Loynes]

1:49.7 so far but don't get on too well with the Elan. 

Back end keeps letting go when I'm not expecting it.

Eat less beans Clive

Thanks for that sage advice Tony. 

Perhaps Mr Mestdag here could do with my extra portion, to make him regular!

[Hotkeys]

Hi there, i'm a newbie on this site , glad i found u guys.  Can I enter this race even if im not a regular?

My name in the game will be Rafael Mestdag.

Thanx and Cya!

I'm a newbie here myself Rafael, but if I'm not mistaking, you'll be welcome to join the races.
On raceday it works on a first come first serve basis.

Hi guys!
I tried with the Elan in Monaco, and I was surprised about the chance to race here without doing so much mistakes with the pad! I'm gonna race this one because I always liked this track! At the moment 1.53.0 for me with race fuel, but I can make at least a second better... probably my laptime limit will be a 51.5 with qualif fuel... or something like that... Hope to see someone of you for some training in the late evening.
Bye bye

Hi there,

After turning down every possible graphic option available I simply couldn't make Monaco playable on my equipment. Unless I can find a way to make it playable I won't be able to take part on this one. For the time being I'm not going to be there this time, sorry guys. 

PS: Apart from SPA, all of the default tracks run fine on my rig even with most graphic options on high in some cases. I guess the addon tracks are more detailed or something.

My rig: AMD [email protected] + 1Gb RAM + GeForce 5500 256Mb + old 160Gb IDE HD :-( on Windows XP Pro 

[Legzy]

My system's not great & I can confirm that Monaco is probably the lowest dos we'll see this season.

If someone wants to start a separate thread on setting to change to make PnG faster, I'll sticky it for ease of future access.

Hope we see you Thursday... Or at least the one after that if not

I'm not that much better off than you Rafael.
cpu is XP3200+ and my gfx card is a 7900GS and I do have 1.5Gb of RAM

I run in letterbox mode and have dropped to DirectX 8 at Legzy's suggestion when I had problems initially.

I run EnditAll and Gamebooster before launching PnG, including a defrag of the game folder.

Graphics options as low as possible and on 1680 x 1050 resolution

Hope that helps.

Guys, I've started a new thread on "how to improve your PnG FPS" right here, so that we can keep this thread for race related stuff

[Jeffrey]

Might be able to make this as long as I don't need to do a pitstop

[mr_oily]

Can't believe I'm going to miss this one *stamps feet*.

Be a good fellow and arrange this combo again some time Legz...or perhaps just accidentally swap it with Portimao, nobody will notice, trust me

You're getting on with it better than me Clive. I never go well at Monaco and at 1:51 so far, I don't expect much improvement on that.

Better not tell you that it's a 1:48.7 now.   

Thanks for helping to get my MoTeC working Tudor.  Still can't get the front shocks to go green.

not done a lap here yet, hope to get on later when the nightnurse kicks in from the wifes tea 

[goldtop]

MoTeC suspension readings are a complete waste of time in PnG Clive. Even on the softest spring/damper settings the histograms remain blue for all cars from what I've seen. Either the suspension on these old cars is not sophisticated enough, or more likely, the suspension parameters in PnG just don't translate to MoTeC readings. It's one of the things I'm hoping for in V.3, but I'm not holding my breath.

1:48.7

[Mark J]

only managed a half hour sesh last night. 1:50.1 so far. Elans a feisty little bugger around here. Any kind of over driving results in a mating session with the armco, so deep breaths and relax....

[pribeiro]

Monaco and Elans are not in my preference's box, it will be though then...
