Race 07 Caterham Roadsport Challenge - Zandvoort (Club) - Sep 22

BTW as much as I'd like to, I can't take the credit for coming up with this idea as that belongs to Tony 

  now I can't blame Goldtop if it all goes

This probably isn't the place to put this (and feel free to move it of course) but I'll ask anyway....

How do you set 'Quick Chat' options in Race07?  There doesn't seem to be anywhere to set it, unlike GTR2 and PnG in Multi-player Options.  I tried editing the .PLR file but doesn't seem to do anything.

Cheers

No problem Steve....

You need to access your plr from in game from Options > Open User Folder

Then go to UserData > [your profile name] > [your plr] open plr with notepad and quick chat settings are near the top.

To change the assigned keys go to Options > Control Settings and scroll down.

Hmm, doesn't want to play!  I'll try again.  Thanks

Should be able to join you for this.

During the odd Cat race at GBGPL, I was always reminded of Stiggies go in the 500  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tN6_xUL8j4 Not sure how accurate the sim is but Races Cats always bring a smile to my face, just like the Stigs I'd imagine. That realistic enough for me

What's quick chat?

I installed my GTR Evolution, selected the directx & online options... all seemed fine.
It got to a bit where I installed steam.... went well & I've created my account.

Err... now what?

There appears to be no new game installed.
I've logged into steam & it lists 735 servers, none are for Race07/GTREvo & none are called UKRace....

Is the game listed in your Steam library? It should be and you should be able to run it from there.

The steam version of the game needs to be downloaded from within steam. Then once thats done you can launch the game from steam and then all the online servers for it are under multiplayer like GTR2.
If I remember right, the game actually has to download twice one for the offline version and once for the online...

Hope that helps.

Hi all
Haven't turned a wheel for a week or so (too cream crackered with work) going to have a little practice tonight.
Just checked i can connect to the server OK , forgot we had the AI running thought we had some new guys and yes I did say hello 

You may want to have a go with this real time telemetry thing (looks good)  http://www.nogripracing.com/details.php?filenr=25143  at last i can give it a go myself.


                                                                        Cheers Ade

Ah, sorted quick chat out; have to join multiplayer first then its within the options after joining.  Editing the .PLR file, even from within the Sim never worked for me.

I've been downloading all evening & it's still not anywhere near... I doubt I'll have the thing installed let alone be ready to race

(thanks for the help thought chaps)

[goldtop]

A few of us on the server earlier this evening and all of us within a second or so of each other, so I hope this bodes well for some good close racing.

I had a problem joining during the quali session and I know some others experienced this. One of the settings on the server was the culprit and I've now fixed this. Obviously and as always, the advice is that it's best that all drivers try to get there before quali to avoid them being "invisible" to those already on track, but at least now you will be able to sneak in if you're late.

Please don't forget to leave feedback after the race, particularly with your thoughts on the AI cars.

....hope you manage to make it Legzy.

So far so good. Did a local install of Evo and Race07 off the DV, and it then went off for a couple
of hours downloading Race07 Steam install.
I seem to be missing something pace wise here. Maybe it's like GTR2 where I am just poor at it
I can just sneak under 1:10, best so far is 1:09.6. But others are doing 8's and even 7's if you
live down under (Cornwall) I did a setup which I can drive, but am struggling to get the best
compromise on brake balance,I either lock the fronts or the tail jumps out under braking.
Tried JR's setup briefly, seems good, though a little looser than what I had.
I love the way these cars feel, I have always been a fan of Race07, I think it's the best of the
Simbin bunch.

Mike Miller was kind enough to upload his setup for me last night, I'm sure he doesn't mind us all using.. I found it a lot of help, got me from 09s to 08s.
its in the online files part if you want to check it out.
