Rally-Dry Gravel Mix - Mon 31st May & Tues 1st June 2010

[Steve Emmons]

I'm a maybe... Just need to try/test each stage at least once.

I'll take the Lancer if no one else wants it. The tinting is so dark in cockpit view I feel like I'm driving at dusk. Guess I could try another camera though...

I have most of the stuff working now, but for some reason I can't get authenticated on the rs website. Will post a question to them shortly to see if we can get it sorted out.

Steve, I'll put you on the list. Do you want the USA timeslot? (Or maybe even the US X one?)

Surprisingly, we have already filled the 12 cars I allocated (never had 12 starters before ), but if others want to join, I'll add another of each car type. Of course, that would mean that those already chosen may be able to negotiate car swaps.

 

[Steve Emmons]

Warren, I'll take the EU slot (19:00 GMT Monday). If more than one person signs up for the same slot do we all start at the same time, e.g. 19:00? This is all new to me...

Also, what damage settings should I be using?

 

[Warren Dawes]

Pleae Note: Additional cars are now added to the list due to higher sign-ups.

If anyone wants to "negotiate" a car change to those now available, please let me know.

Yes Steve, all those driving in the same timeslot eg. Europe one, will all race at the same time. You won't see the other cars on the track in real time, but their results will show with yours at the end of each stage.

Also, what damage settings should I be using?

The damage settings are always listed in the sign-up post. This one is "Reduced" which is what we normally use.

Check this tutorial: http://www.racedepartment.com/richard-burns-rally/20031-using-rsrbr-2009-rsrbr-2010-mod.html

Everyone drives simultaneously, independent of each other. I like to wait and see how everyone did after each stage, but you can just drive one stage after the other, and forget everyone else exists .
The damage is set on the server side.

There was an... incident... while I was trying out the Skoda today...

I reckon they deserve every hit we give them!

If you want the 307, Steve, I am willing to swap...

Let me check it out tomorrow. Thanks! The only other car I've driven to date is the Suburu.

No need to swap with another driver at this stage, check the sign-up list, there is an additional car in each slot now, if anyone wants to grab one of those.

Done. :thumb:
The Citroen guys have approached me to drive your car, so you never know. :wink:

A rookie question...
I noticed that some of the stages are (Gravel, Good, Day) and some are (Normal, Good, Day). What's the difference between "Normal" and "Gravel".

Rookie here as well. I think the "Gravel" stands for gravel mod, since those stages are not gravel by default. England and Japan are gravel by default, and they have "Normal".

Basically, in this case, probably none for some of the Stages.
France is tarmac, and Finland is snow by default, so obviously gravel is very different. But for England and Japan, which are "normally" gravel, I think it should be identical. I think the road surface may "look" slightly different though, not sure.

It saddens me to say this but, I hate the Pug! Any chance of grabbing the last Skoda?

You're a wimp Cam, :tongue: , but I've traded your Pug in on the Skoda. :wink:

 

[Steve Emmons]

I noticed in the tutorial that the Chrono Manager options are checked and under the Display section Chrono Manager is also checked.

It sounds like Chrono Manager is the app that stores the results in the online datasebase so I'm assuming that we should have our settings be the same?

Thanks...

 

[Senad Subasic]

Results are compiled manually, no idea what the Chrono thingy is.
