Good. But you have mirrors as well right? And you see the moving needle in front of the panels for the suspension movement?

Rupe Wilson · Oct 24, 2012

oh yes its all working great, I did the plr thing to see the tyres also..
the number on the right side of the suspension display above the front wheel is mirrored though.. but i look at the needle moving between the lines not number...

Well, we were always running the same as the RD clock

If you mean if people in GB won't have to add 1 hour to the start time, then yes.

Rupe Wilson · Oct 27, 2012

Thanks Senad, im glad you know what I meant, got confused my self there

Jack Smith · Oct 29, 2012

Just an update. I plan on attending but there is a major hurricane approaching. Estimated 10 million to lose power in the New York area. Our part of NS is a possible target...so I will just have to wait and see what comes of it.

Anyone now how I get rid of the Garage sounds ?

I'm not sure how to remove them tbh. But either way they wont help with the problems you had with Teamspeak. There will still be a lot of feedback from the people talking and from the game sounds when you are driving. Unless you find a way to fix the issues with the mic I think it's better to just turn off the mic completely for now. You will still be able to hear us though. There's a button to mute your mic in Teamspeak:

Dmytro Botnarenko · Oct 29, 2012

Another way is to check a button voice-activation in "Options - Capture". I have one of the buttons on my steering wheel which activates my microphone.

Guys, personally me will be more a listener than speaker. As my speaking English is weaker than my poor writing English.

And I want to ask: will we have enough time for all of these without doubts interesting sections? Personally, I can offer is that if our training will be rather long, we could break it up into two different days. Unless of course, if it is convenient to Knut and others.

It should be possible to cover all of it, but it depends. If something needs more time and explanation/discussion we will use the time we need. It's the first time we do this type of event so we will see how it goes. I'm sure I will have a better idea after the event, and if there is enough interest we can run more of these.
