I'm having a bit of problems with the LM55 cars

I can't get them to appear where i choose which car to drive? The Ferrari 375 and Maserati 450s comes up but the rest do not.

I can see and buy the cars in Car Dealer but when i go to choose lets say the the Ferrari 250TR to drive, it's no where to be found.

 

[Rupe Wilson]

Where did you download them from...Hiroshi..
you know about the Altbeirbude thing ...
they could be clashing with another mod
do you have a lm55 folder outside the normal car folders classes

 

[Hiroshi Awazu]

I downloaded from Drivingitalia.net, i'll try No Grip and see if they work. My new clean install of GTL doesn't have any content from Bude' this time around,

Edit: yes i have a separate LM55 folder.

 

[Hiroshi Awazu]

I got things sorted out with the LM55 cars. The cars from No Grip worked

 

[Rupe Wilson]

Thanks Hiroshi is good to know these things when setting up events.

most of the time the car file has been changed
this is from the mini cooper tc65 class... its in this section that they become visible. im still learning how this all works,,,
classes="SIM_FULL, SIM_TC65, SIM_GTCTC65, SIM_GTC, SIM_AMINI, SIM_NOBRIT, SIM_TC65NOT, SIM_BRITISH, SIM_NIGHT, SIM_MASH, SIM_NOSHORT, SIM_NOLONG, SIM_NODARK"

I can't get on the Clubserver. I get the message "game not available, host may be running an updated version or mod.

I followed these instructions http://www.racedepartment.com/forum...ating-2nd-install-setting-up-gtl.63883/page-2 And use windows7

And I installed the mods needed from this thread http://www.racedepartment.com/forum...e-912-birmingham-usa-thu-23rd-may-2013.69496/

 

[Rupe Wilson]

ill look into it now.

 

[Rupe Wilson]

hi Bjorn Spierenburg im on the server now all seems ok that end,

• are you using a disc version
• the digital download version
• or the steam version

 

[Bjorn Spierenburg]

Sorry, forgot to tell I'm using the dvd version and a no cd exe

 

[Rupe Wilson]

ive just put up my server, Rupe test with default car and track
same password as RD see if you can join that

What is the version of the sim..

Did you install the patch found HERE to take it to 1.1

 

[Bjorn Spierenburg]

1.1.0.0 Udate from the link in the install guide.

 

[Rupe Wilson]

and it shows in game as 1.1

You can always use your online code to activate a free copy of the sim through steam

ill see if i can get any more info

 

[Bjorn Spierenburg]

Probably an install fault from the dvd, it also didn't show in the configuration in windows (don't if this is how it's cald, but where you can uninstall programs)

Downloading the steam version now and wish for the best

 

[Rupe Wilson]

GTlegends\Uninstal
in there there is a EXE to unistall the sim
Edit just realised what you meant

 

[Bjorn Spierenburg]

Working like a charm now

Tanks Rupe for the help

I tried joining the racedepartment server on a fresh install but it is says track not find, but it is a stock track

I think the RD Server may be set to the League track for tomorrow (Jarama 79). You need to have that track installed.

One of the quirks of GTL is that if you don't have the Server's track installed, it will show in the Lobby as a default track, which is not correct.

 

[Rupe Wilson]

We have 2 server s up one is for the league race and the other is for the Thursday club event details can be found Here

i'm trying to set a dedi server, i see the add-on tracks but i don't see the modded cars, i know in race 07 its create another kind of install of the game where you have to put the add-on how does it works for GTL ?

Modded cars are usually linked to a default car. When downloading a mod it usually says which default car it is linked to in Descriptions.

When setting up a server you need to add in the default car that the mod is linked to.

If mod description does not say which default car it is linked to, check the last line of the .CAR file of the mod, should say which car it is linked to.
