AC Classic cars @ Deutschlandring - Tuesday 4th January 2022

[HF2000]

I can only find two servers hosting Deutschlandring and neither are RD, is the server down or just unavailable @HF2000 ?

No, the practice server is now configured for today's race with the Panda. Tomorrow I will set up the server for next weeks event.

PRACTICE SERVER IS UP!

I'm not able to join the server - can anyone else get on?

 

[Shed 17]

Good afternoon Colin, yes, I have just given it a go and can get on the server.

 

[Mr. Malarkey]

EDIT: ACK! Never mind. I was using the sign-up password, not the log-on password. Duh.


I am having trouble logging on, as well. Going through CM, and I keep getting the message that the password is wrong. I am using the password from the very first post. Tried it with all caps, and with no caps. Neither one worked. (I am admittedly a newbie at this, so maybe I'm doing something wrong.)

Hi Michael,

Welcome!
Will you please also enter your real name on RaceDepartment? It's in your account/account details.
Thanks!

Fireworks all over the place in practice session online today!

Happy new year guys!

I just signed up at SGP. The password was a bit tough to find right under the map in the first post. Will it also be the race password for the server?

Here's my latest setup for the Lotus. It's nearly unchanged to the setup I made a year back for this similar event...

Hi Reik,

Using different passwords for server and sign up is also new to me but as I look at the configuration on s.gp I guess that to enter the server the standard password from last year is the one you need.

That's what it says on the sign up page on sgp.

Oh dear, I just noticed the real track location is only 55 km from my home! And even closer to the city I lived for 10 years (Dresden). The layout is still there due to use of open roads. So no doubt I'll have a drive around it sooner or later.

 

[Mr. Malarkey]

OK, I'm a newb at racing online. Never once done it before, but since this is one of my favorite track/car combos I'd really like to participate. I am also used to racing with some assists (I figure since I can't feel g-forces, etc, I'm allowed to have a LITTLE help!).

In my practice laps on the server, I've been putting in around

Spoiler

3:30

, sometimes closer to

Spoiler

3:20

, and I can rarely do a completely clean lap if I'm trying to set a "fast" time.

So, is that even close to being competitive? Or am I just going to be a rolling hazard? I don't want to take up a grid slot if I'm just going to cause headaches for everyone else.

Hi Michael,

I will answer you in a PM as we have a policy not to discuss lap times before the race. We don't want to discourage less experienced drivers as our events are for everyone as long as they drive clean and with respect to others.

 

[Alfred Wayne]

@Mr. Malarkey In my limited experience with this group, so long as you stay to your line and be predictable, there's no problem with not being the fastest and getting blue flags, especially in club races. Unless I've been doing it wrong and I've been quietly making rivals all over the track

But based on my early practice results, we'll most likely cross paths at some point during the race

I put spoiler tags on the times. If you want me to edit the post to take them out completely, let me know.

No it's ok, Michael.

Oh boy, those are some fast tin cans... Can't wait to crash every third corner! Count me in!

How do you use this file? Drop it on CM?
edit: nm, I tried to just simple copy and paste and that worked.

You have in your user/documents/assetto corsa/setups a map for every car/track. Just copy it in the Lotus49/Deutschlandring map.
