Hi guys !
Is the server up ?

Nevermind I was looking in GT3 --'

 

[Boukâh]

Fun races guys, thanks! I think I didn’t kill anyone (maybe some paintscraping here and there and some near misses ).

Did a small test race with a few of you a few weeks ago, also here at Donington. It’s great racing in ACC, still have to get used to some things, but I’ll learn that.

Pretty okay qualy, and in the races some nice battles. Still learning to race others (litlle more than a year, doing lots of AC races, fun as well!!)

Congrats to the podiums and thanks Michael for stitching it all together!

Thanks, see you soon!

>> I did have some huge freezes during practice, qualy and the races, quite scary, ‘cause I lost control. Anything I can do about that?

Thanks for hosting Michael. My internet died a few minutes before the start of practice and only came back just in time for the race so starting at the back was a bit daunting with no warm up or quali.

We'll see how the rest of the series goes, there seems to be a few gt3 drivers that are around the same pace as some of the cup drivers and it's making for some sketchy racing on the tighter tracks.

When you get a freeze or micro freeze it's usually during practice when a new drivers has joined and it loads their car. During the race you shouldn't get any of that, I didn't notice any anyway.

Okay, I’ll see if it has anything to do with that. Had a couple of cpu warnings as well. Not that much running in the background though… might have to fine tune a little for online racing in Acc…

Thanks!

I have since yesterday similar hick-ups, but also in single player mode. So it has in my case nothing to do with the server. Its simple... Windows :-(
May be I have to lower the gfx settings.

Anyone with a RX 6700 XT?

In please, GT3.

Hi Andrew,

this was a late, but not too late

Great race #1 but we missed you at race #2.
Why not win race #2 also?

Are you participating for the remaining three races?

Bestest
Michael

 

[McFlunch]

I had a lot of fun racing again with you guys ! Funny track, good mix between gt3's and cups, nice battles and fair racing !
Can't wait for the next one

 

[McFlunch]

Hi @mklengel ! Thanks again for hosting those races, without you I would not be enjoying ACC or SimRacing at all as open lobbies are often a pain in the *ss

Sorry to bother you with ideas like this, but do you think we will have the 2,4 hours of SPA one day ? I think @SwannyUK hosted this last year but I missed it

It would be awesome with GT3's and CUP's like the current Series, and why not with GT4's and even GT2's ( I don't know if it's possible or hard to host those kind of races ).

Anyway, can't wait for the following races of this Series and Bathurst on Saturday !

Cheers !

If there is a cry for 2,4h @ Spa, we can of course setup such a race. I would be in in a second The next longer race is 1,5h @ Silverstone in this series. Let's ask the other guys. If we get enough drivers, we should do it.

Yes, it would be nice to have such a race. Last time it was pretty awesome!

Please have a look here:

ACC - The Epic Endurance Race in Spa (Poll)

Just planning this race and want to clarify the optimal date. The race will last 2,4h and depending on the numbers will be possibly GT3 or Multiclass. https://www.racedepartment.com/threads/the-epic-endurance-race-with-gt3s-in-spa-tbd.269292/

Hi Bouke,

I had during multiplayer and single player sessions hick-ups (my PC, not me ). Yesterday I solved the problem. Solution: a reset of my gfx card configuration and the problems are gone.

Regards
Michael
