rF2 BTCC 2022 @ Knockhill - Mon 27th February 2023 *Race Against unowned DLC*

[Monkey T]

Sign me up as maybe just in case, if I can make it I will be there.
Trying to close up the sewer system underneath my house.

 

[Jasje]

Why not! Sign me up as likely

 

[Steve Le Gallez]

I will hopefully be there tonight

 

[joecronk]

i will be there count me in !!

 

[Ingemar Petersson]

In please

 

[Lesley Buurlage]

I'm unable to get into the server, stating that i have missing content (aka all the cars apart from the focus and civic) and no option to manually install the mod, can only delete it

 

[max1966i]

Ok so I'm clearly too stupid for this to work...

I did not have any of the BTCC cars so opted for the recent 3 car pack to give me a bit of choice. At the same time I got the Brit track pack. On launching the game none of the content had downloaded which was strange so I've rectified that through the content tab in game, however..............

How do you enable the cars you don't own to play alongside those you do? When I launch the server it says I don't have all of the content, which is of course correct!!

Not sure if I'm in or out for tonight...

 

[Roy Magnes]

You go to "Content and settings" and "Manage content" there is a tab called "Store Content"

Find the BTCC cars in the list there and install them, and you should be good to go

 

[Smidgey]

Looks like I’ll be there for some but not all of tonight. Wife needs picking up at some point this evening now she’s decided to work late

As @Roy Magnes rightly points out, you have to install the cars you don't own, in the places he mentioned.

Final tag time. Who's up for this epic evening of fun?
You only need to own one BTCC car to enter tonight, but they are all awesome so I can highly recommend them!

I guess I should've made a guide

 

[Jan Larsen]

I should be able to make it, but I'm battling rf2 update system, server version mismatches and something 3rd.

 

[Jimlaad43]

Am I trying hard enough?

 

[Smidgey]

Cheers for the races all. Had an absolute blast tonight. Lost concentration towards the end which I'll put down to a combination of having been up since 5am and Knockhill being pretty intensive. Shift pattern at work is a bit all over the place next week or two but will definitely make some more rF2 races.

 

[Roy Magnes]

Awesome fun racing tonight, gentlemen! These cars has become so much more enjoyable with the new tyre model and all

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

Not a fan of the Hybrid system, it felt very weird with how quickly it got empty and didn't really recharge.

The cars&tyres now though. Wowzers!

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

Here some more detailed results from the three races. I found it easier to group them together, so click on the "races" tab, and then there are race 1, 2 and 3

Cheers for the racing lads, especially race 2 with Edward, that was close! As Ole I'm not a fan of the hybrid system as its far too complex and far too powerfull and not really needed in TC racing, but I did enjoy the challenge of trying to perfect the deployment. However, I do believe there's a bug in the system somewhere, I just cant prove it.
