It certainly wouldn't help the situation Dave

How come Martin?

 

[Martin Oconnor]

30 cars in 24 pit boxes doesn't seem right to me,With all the cars crashing in the pit boxes that can't help things

 

[Gijs van Elderen]

Don't you think that it would be more clear and would cause less

not at the moment Dino, we are still unsure if the problem is build or server, gijs has very kindly offered to have a look at our server, if it turns out it is a build problem then we will change build asap, until we find out for deffo theres no point as the same may happen with 910.

I've seen since a few day's Build 940 been tested by the ISI test team. So they are working hard on multiplayer issues.

But build 910 worked for you guys! So IMO: don't trow away that build yet! Some leagues reverted back or stayed with build 910.

So I think it's best for all of you to have 2 installs.
- 1 you know is working. (Your official league install.)
- and 1 with the newest build. For testing and to do club races at RD.

So you can do practice/test races in the newest build, discuss issues and fixes. And have a clear to go with the new build or switch back to the last known working situation at any moment!

Once the newest build has been proven stable. You can update your official league installs.

IMO: This is a save methode to run a league.

[Peter Decker]

I have now tried to set up backup-versions of all servers. If any of you guys could please try the two race servers out (new and old builds) and maybe run a lap or two with some AIs, it would be appreciated

 

[David Turnbull]

can't see your servers peter?

EDIT: i do now, all working good

 

[Martin Oconnor]

dam I didn't know it was sepang.thought it was aus ahhhhh

 

[David O'Reilly]

Guys,
With all the recent tech issues in the sim (here and elsewhere) and the various frustrations, I have a) not done a 910 install, and b) not prepared adequately for this race.
With apologies I will not attend.
I hope its a great race and Ill see you soon as multiplayer is stable in the next build?

 

[Kurt Kjellin]

Unfortunately I can not attend tonight's race in Malaysia Mr. flu has struck and my PB's is now on the temperature scale
Good luck everyone hope everything works and you will have a good race

 

[Richard Hill]

I have pulled something in my shoulder the other day. I will be there but I am just letting you know that I might not be able to do a full race distance as I tryed last night to do some practice for the first time here but I struggled to counter the twitches from the car. Is there a way that if I choose to start from the pits I can? Or do I have to not qualify to start at the back?

 

[April Dillon]

I'm not sure, Richard. I think it's possible to start from the pit lane by clicking 'drive' once the start lights have turned on, as that's how it worked in rF1. But it'd probably be safer to just not qualify, just in case it locks you out.

 

[Peter Decker]

@Richard Hill sorry to hear. I also believe as April that you better just not qualify - I happen to click DRIVE after the lights have been activated and always makes it to the grid right before green light.

Have you turned down the ffb?

 

[Richard Hill]

Thank you for the advise April and Peter
I will see how practice goes but I think I'll just not qualify just in case.
I tryed turning down the fab yesterday but it would be too dangerous for me to do that as I was all over the place.

 

[Dino Paolini]

I wanted to ask about something before I forget that stuff again:

Can we have some agreement on not using refueling during the season? Otherwise we would theoreticaly end up all doing just 2 or 3 completly identical stints in all the races eliminating a very interesting factor out of the races, which is the changing balance of the car during a long race.
Combining that with the already discussed bugginess in the case of this particular car, this is a rather logical thing to do imo.
Are others thinking that too?

 

[Richard Hill]

I personally thought that we all were not refuelling and that it had been sorted ages ago.
But I would like conformation too and I prefer not to refuel for the reasons above about the changing balance.

 

[April Dillon]

I think we've all agreed to not refuel about four times by this point for exactly those reasons.

 

[Tim McIver]

Dino is quite right, we have several times recommended against refueling but it has always included a 'refuel at own risk' clause. I think we should just ban it straight out. With things so tight at the front, taking the risk could decide a race. I think we should forgive anyone who has to refuel in the last 5 laps of the race though...

I say we consider it banned unless someone wants to make a strong case in this thread in the next day or so. Did anyone refuel today?

 

[Bob Luneski]

I have a slight break between contracts that will allow me to possibly make the China race and possibly one more. Questions:
1) Is the league already full?
2) Do you still run practice servers for F2?
3) Are you running on Race Department servers i.e. do I need to become a premium member to race?
