• It will auto load Heat 2 I have no control over that.
• Events should be no longer than 50 minutes for both heats.
• I will set the timeout to 2 minutes after the first person has crossed the line.
• Teams will be allowed. (It will be the case of picking another driver to make the team up and I will do the points after the race).
• Events will be once every 2 weeks and start at 8.30pm UK time.
• This will be open to all Licensed Members.

Info I need from people interested in signing up
Do you want to allow all assists, or just set ones, if so what ones?
Driving/braking line will be turned on as I use it.

How do you want to handle connection issues?
I am thinking allow 10 minutes for connection issues, so that is 1 hour in total, but I would like to hear your ideas. I will open the lobby 10 / 15 minutes before the event starts.

Or maybe we could run full damage in the test event (15th Nov), as no points will be awarded for it, then decide?
I will see if I can test it sometime this week, with some AI.

Let me know what you think about the damage, should it be: Limited or Simulation, or should we try full damage (Simulation) in the test event?

Sounds good to assign Simulation damage (full) at the test event.

Hi Garry, please add me. I'm still not a professional but I will try

Yeah run damage for the test event. I think it should be on for the league. Slight knocks won't create too much havoc but it adds that extra element to the game.

So true Dan. :thumb:

 

[Gaz]

Steve, I have sent Marcel Campenaar a private message asking will they be joining.

 

[Gaz]

Ok, so we will have Full damage on for the test event, and then decide from there.

I agree Dan, I had forgot about damage, till Paulo said about it to be honest.

 

[Gaz]

This is what I will be driving. I am not that good on the art side.

 

[Dazmaniac]

What does everyone thing about full damage being on?

I'm sure I'm running my career with full damage enabled and it would have to be smash of almighty proportions to make the car undriveable. Have several heavy collisions and the gearbox begins to suffer and you get smoke coming from the exhaust, but general trading paint and door-to-door bumps should not have too greater an effect on your car.

I'm all for having full damage, make the experience as real as we can.

 

[Ryan Sylvester]

silly question, but are you guys taking pictures with cameras and then uploading them or is there a better way of doing it?

 

[Gaz]

I took the picture in Forza 4 then uploaded it to forzamotorsport.net
There is an option in the game to taje photos with the background you have

1. Go to Play Career
2. Cars / My Cars - Then find the car and get in it
3. Click on Cars in the menu
4. You should see take photo.

 

[Dan Smith]

You take the pictures in game.

If you then upload them to your Storefront, you can download them to your computer.

To get them on here you need a Flickr account or something similar. You copy the URL for the pictures and click on add image in the Quick Reply box, paste in the code and your picture should appear straight away.

 

[Ryan Sylvester]

[Chris Bell]

[Gaz]

Yes Chris, there is a total of 16 spots, 9 have been taken so far, so there is 7 spots available, at this time.
You can see the currect signup's and reserved numbers on the first post.

Any signup's in this post will be carried over to the signup post I will make over the weekend.

Ryan. On Flickr above your picture you will see "Share" click it and you will then see "Grab HTML/BBC code" click it and you see something like this

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/68208363@N05/6264817983/" title="Abarth 500 at Bernese Alps 01 by MysticV2, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6100/6264817983_b9b00efe77_z.jpg" width="640" height="360" alt="Abarth 500 at Bernese Alps 01"></a>

Now you copy all of this over to the add image button on RD, but make sure you delete everything except the text i've highlighted BOLD here.

Your picture should appear straight away.

Hope this helps!!

 

[Dan Smith]

WOW 10 drivers already! Hope we can get a full grid though. Things are looking great for the test event. Should be some great racing plus great replays.

 

[Gaz]

Yep, looking good so far, I to hope for a full grid.
