All members welcome. RUNNING ON THE SIMBIN OFFICIAL SERVER. READ POSTS BELOW FOR ALL DETAILSGrid/server capacity: 28 Practice: ~19:20 (60 mins) Qualifying: 20:20 (20 mins) Race: 20:40 (16 laps = ~40mins) Track: Istanbul Download thisCars allowed: Alfa Romeo GTA, Ford Mustang, Lotus Cortina This race will use the UKGTL Skin Pack 1.8.0.0. Time of Day Setting: 10:00 Start: STANDING Tyre wear: Normal Fuel consumption: Normal Server: simracing.org.uk WPC Password: see aboveNotes: (1) It's best if all drivers can make sure they are connected before the Qualifying session as drivers on track during qualifying will not see cars that join after they are on track until they go back to the garage. (2) Please make sure you are fully aware of the SimRacing.org.uk Rules. (3) The AI control should be turned off so that you have control of the car at all times, including pitting. Your player file should therefore read Autopit="0" Force Autopit Off="1" // Forces autopit always off No AI Control="1" // AI never has control over car If you still finding pitting problematic, experience tells us that its less to do with positioning and more to do with approach speed. A slow approach to pit crew chief has proved most reliable. (4) Driver lists can be found on the Championship standings pageSpecial Notes: None

Guy's, due to the problems we have been experiencing on Monday nights with these TMC events we are making some changes for this race as a test. Server wise I will be removing all mod cars not required for this race. This will not effect you and you need not do anything.
However we are taking a second step that will effect you so heads up! We will be running this race on the official Simbin lobby. To do this please follow the following instructions.
The digital version of GT-Legends is already set up to use the official lobby. If you are running a disc version of the game, you are still more than welcome to use the official GT-Legends lobby. To do this navigate to your local GT-Legends installation and locate a file called LOCAL_IP_LOBBY.txt. Open the file and edit the IP address to gtlsrv.race-game.com and save the file. (Be sure to back up your original files any time you choose to edit them.)
If after this edit you are unable to connect to the lobby and receive an error message, please return to the internet multiplayer connection screen and select 'Register', then register anew with the lobby before connecting again.
Probably best if you make a copy of your entire GTL install and call the copy something different to the original. Remember to create a new desktop shortcut for this copy as well. Then do the listed file change to the copy and you will have a GTL for Simbins lobby and a GTL for the Altbierbude lobby. Of course you don't have to do this, it's just a suggestion.
Any problems? Let us know. I'll post here when it's ready to be tested. NOW ACTIVE

Point of clarification Tony, I use the GTLDK version of GTL, what do I need to do?

Same as above Bill Thomas. Change the LOCAL_IP_LOBBY.txt after first backing it up. All this does is to tell GTL where to look for the lobby.

Have done as suggested and been on the SimBin lobby and a quick run to check all OK.
Any chance today or tomorrow to put one of our servers into the SimBin lobby to check it out?

Precisely that is on my "to do" list this weekend Bill Thomas now. I'll post when up and running.

My GTL "Master" has all the necessary bells and whistles to operate all cars etc in the Altbierbude lobby. I have the file LOCAL_IP_LOBBY.txt. in the root of GTL, but it may have been added as part of a "host hack" file which we at UKGTL added to get into the Altbierbude lobby. Tony should know.

My GTL came via Pelle as it was a "special" version that had no Starforce protection and would run on a Windows 7 OS. I also do have the Lobby.txt file so I can only assume that it was added at some time?

Pelle, how does your GTL know which lobby to go to?
If I remember correctly, after Altbierbude took over the old lobby, is no need for 'LOCAL_IP_LOBBY.txt' more...& you can just remove it. Edit:Looked just after, none of my GTL installations have 'LOCAL_IP_LOBBY.txt'...& they work fine Sometimes it can happen you must register to lobby again, but does not require you again to use the key & fill in email address.

Si if you don't add a lobby.txt how will your GTL know to go to Simbin and not Altbierbude?
