I was able to get GTL running with the mods, but I get the message "unable to connect to server" when I try and register for the muti-player racing ...any thoughts

Thanks

Sorry guys, my hard drive has died over the weekend, so will be missing for a while. I'm trying to get a few games running on my Laptop, but not sure if GTL will cope.

 

[Stuart Thomson]

Understood Warren, bad luck mate.

OK - server for this event is up, but I got a general error from the lobby this morning when I tried to test it, so I suspect the Bude were doing some maintenance.

If someone could check it later on and let me know how it looks for them, I'd appreciate it.

 

[Stuart Thomson]

OK, I'm not getting a response from a ping even, but my work firewall intercepts pings :doh:

It might be my connection at home, or it might be the lobby, but I can see a couple of people online using the bude viewer, which is better than earlier when all servers were totally empty.

 

[Glenn Morris]

Hey guys. I just jumped online to check for you.

Jumped into the lobby and then onto the server in the Corolla and I could connect, so I would assume that if I can, most (if not all) can.

Hope ya'll have a great race!

Cheers

Glenn

[Philip Brown]

Looks like that info worked, thanks Stuart.

I am a definite now, although I' ve spent a lot of time facing the wrong way in the Toyota!

 

[Stuart Thomson]

You will see tonight that you will have some company in the pirouetting Corolla, mate.

At the very least I'll be joining you.

I think most of us have found that you can drive the Toyota quickly, or you can drive it neatly, but never both at the same time.

 

[Amir Margalit]

will it be possible to make a race with the toyota only and the other race with only the nsu? i think that the nsu is much faster then the toyota .

 

[Arne Oestlund]

I must bow out tonight. Some obstacles have turned up making it impossible for me to drive tonight. I wish you all others a happy and glosious night with many duels and good driving.
Yours,
Arne

 

[Stuart Thomson]

OK Arne, understood.

Amir, I'm going to leave it as is, ie up to people's preference as to what order they want to race the cars. If we end up with just one person in an NSU against a field of Corollas (or vice versa), then I'll suggest switching, but I'm not going to impose an order.

 

[Sam J Simpson]

I know we're not really supposed to discuss laptimes but I'd be interested to know ballpark times or at least the difference between both cars Amir, I've tested both cars using the sets I posted in setup forum and I'm actually marginally quicker, by a few tenths, in the Corolla than the NSU on them.

Sign me up please!!!

I'll test my GTL on Windows 7...Hope no problem and a lot of fun!!!

See you

 

[Stuart Thomson]

And just to round it out, I've got them within 0.1 or 0.2 of each other, NSU slightly faster overall.

Probably about 2 sec behind Sam in both, mind you , but pretty close between the cars.

I do think that these two cars can magnify any setup issues or driving style idiosyncrasies, rather than being docile enough to mask them, or drive through them.

 

[Stuart Thomson]

Francesco - I will direct you here : http://www.racedepartment.com/gt-legends/25214-gtl-windows-7-a.html

as some of the other drivers have been having some issues with Win 7 - check that thread out, and post any issues you might have in there, please.

 

[Gary Lennon]
