Nope, don't even have that one installed. Tryin now with dedi server to recreate conditions.

To anyone with screenshot issues I heartily recommend Grabclipsave, it's a freeware screenie utility that'll resize them, save them in whatever format you want, rename them and has a lovely little camera shutter sound effect so you know it's taken the shot.

Kennett Ylitalo · Aug 9, 2009

Nope, it hasn't happen anymore. Tried with own server with multiple tracks and Zandvoort Club a dozen times. No adjustable splitter.. It was a rare bug..

Steve Emmons · Aug 9, 2009

Well, the freeze-up problem isn't resolved. At least for me... I had a freeze of about 10-15 seconds yesterday.

Niels Pedersen · Aug 9, 2009

Well, if you try to rename your controls setup, everytime you press "s" it makes 5 "s" in a row ...

Stefan Gunnersen · Aug 9, 2009

Don't know if any one has noticed yet, but GTR XD 2.0 and 2.01 (I guess) do not work with the new patch! Darn it!

Bram Hengeveld · Aug 9, 2009

Most of those add-on mods never work after a patch. The creators need to update some files to make them work again.

Stefan Gunnersen · Aug 9, 2009

Yeah, I have written to Yako, the author of the program - hope it is an easy fix!

Bram Hengeveld · Aug 9, 2009

Thanks Stefan,

Can somebody post here once there is an update for it:

Stefan Gunnersen · Aug 9, 2009

Sure - if I see it first - I probably don't, but I will not delete the notification email from this thread in my inbox so I will remember to check if it is posted anyway.

Niels Pedersen · Aug 9, 2009

Wow, this was a bad move SimBin, this update ruined the graphics on my system, now the cars look even more ugly than before, and the blackening while loading seems to take even longer that before, without the blackening .... -_-

mrkavanagh · Aug 9, 2009

this is bad

i have a league race tomorrow night and can't imagine racing without XD

Bram Hengeveld · Aug 9, 2009

Lol, i never use XD, motec or other extra add-on stuff and it drives okay. What can possibly go wrong with data that you actually don't really need to race anyway?

Bram trust me m8, these proggies are vital in sim racing imo. They act like our technical engineer giving us information which is very important. It is Sim Racing after all.

we run long races with ballast loads so i need to always know how much tires i have left. it plays a lot into my pit strategy

if you haven't race with it then you really can't make an informed decision on whether it would help you, right?

I have run many long races, both endurance and touringcars+ballast, but I never really felt I needed more info than the sim gives by default. Tyre/engine temps are shown in the cockpit on your led's, and tyre wear/fuel left is shown in the pitmenu which can be called manually at any time.

Maybe I should dig into the different tools available to see what else it's doing

Bram Hengeveld · Aug 10, 2009

Yup LED and pitboard will do.. The sign tyres are getting worn is my pit call

ronake · Aug 10, 2009

You can see how much the get Tyres worn via the pit menu board aswell.
Dont know which button it is default to see it during race, as I have reconfiguered it on my G25.

Jamie R · Aug 10, 2009

In real racing you don't get told how worn your tyres are surely? I don't get why it's important to know anyway, if they're going off, I'm pretty sure most drivers will notice by the fact they can't get the car to do what they need it to - which is the point in which you know they need changing. Or just use your laptimes to judge.
