Hi, i'm sorry to say that i'll retire from this race too. Too tired...

 

[Freddie Besems]

Tobias, Server is up. and i can see lots of other online games.

Further i cant be of any assistance

 

[Alessandro Gamberini]

When clicking onlinegame no servers show up :/ This is my first try of online racing with netkar...
Please help fast

check your firewall setting and give to nK...exe all rights needed

Freddie it seems your ping are high on our server, do you use a wireless connection ?

remember guys that high ping can give big issues in online game ....

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Anybody on RD teamspeak tonight?

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Weird every time i try to join the server doesn't ask for the password When trying to enter i get booted for not providing the correct password! Bug?

 

[Freddie Besems]

Alessandro,

i use not a wireless connexion, but i never get a message from windows 7 from my firewall, so maybe that is the problem.

when checking my firewall i dont see nkPro between it.

 

[Tobias Nyström]

Nice racing tonight, fun cars, but hard to drive.

Race one: everybody infront of me spunn, I got away infront, then you guys ran around me, fast! did take someone off and Im very sry, I lost control over the car. My car was fine, so I finished the race.
Race two: kaos in the start again, manage to drive around it again, I even was first for a little while Then after som laps I spunn the car. Found out that you can fix it and restart from the pit =P but when I spunn the second time I gave up, then the game hung

Questions:

* I had no clue what lap I was on, drov until the finish flag. How can I see that?
* Is there a virtual mirror, cuz ever time I was overtaken I was very surprised?

 

[Freddie Besems]

thx for joining and setting this race up.


This was my 2nd race and it seems that i have to solve some ping problems.

Anyone knows which ports have to be opened in my router/adsl modem i think that i need to change something in it.


a 1000 apologies if i caused any problems.

But it is awesome to drive and to play this pro-game.

 

[Alessandro Gamberini]

* I had no clue what lap I was on, drov until the finish flag. How can I see that?
* Is there a virtual mirror, cuz ever time I was overtaken I was very surprised?

1) yes, upper left, current lap over total lap
2) yes, in game go to setup >> view >> vmirror and enable it, deafult is off

thank you for coming
see you at next round

 

[Alessandro Gamberini]

ooooooooooooh gosh
race 1: start>>big lag>>crashed "into" a car just after T1>>my car became for a while an airplane :airplane: >> game is over
race 2: start>>all fine>>crashed like a maverick missile :airplane: on barrier at the top of eau rouge, I lost the right track path :damnit:>> race over again :zip:

that's it

see you guys at next club race

 

[Freddie Besems]

just was on another server, driving italia net 4. my ping they said was 110.


In practice mode i saw strange pings, but during the race session i saw all kind of pings around 100.


Maybe offtopic , but a quick sharing of info

what's track name ?

 

[Stuart Whitehead]

Questions:

The top bar or the pitboard ( i always just look at the pitboard)

a 1000 apologies if i caused any problems.

No problem Freddie, but you have to try and solve the problem. Your lagging car took me out when i was lapping you. I'd been very patient and waited until the back straight to lap you. I nearly had a heart attack when we had the collison

Thanks for hosting Allesandro.

Lets hope for cleaner driving next time. You cant win the race on lap 1 !

 

[Alessandro Gamberini]

Thanks for hosting Allesandro.

you have to thank Ramon for that, he sets up nK server
and also a big thanks to Bram, who let all of this possible
and finally me too to have seen two races as spectator, ooooooooooooooh gosh

 

[Tobias Kluge]

I really enjoyed this evening, this new 1.1 release changed a lot to a great sim. I was a bit overwhelmed with the new track and the car, have to relearn some habits which work in other simulations - so demanding and pleasing when you nailed a corner. :eek:

Anyone knows which ports have to be opened in my router/adsl modem i think that i need to change something in it.

Hi Freddie,

the standard port is 9500 (TCP and UDP) and should be registered in your router. The game should have full access through your Firewall too.

Big THX to Alessandro and RD for these events.

 

[Freddie Besems]

Alessandro, it was Prato. A track which is in the game.

 

[Alessandro Gamberini]

Alessandro, it was Prato. A track which is in the game.

next time we have to use a default track for sure !!
we must wait all new tracks fixed properly so Laguna Seca is postponed ....

Freddie, if you are on Windows 7 then go to control panel, Windows firewall, Allow a program or feature through windows firewall.

The list of programmes comes up, click "allow another program" A new box comes up, click BROWSE. Navigate to your main netkar folder and click nks.exe. Click open. Now nks.exe should be showing in the "add a program" window. Highlight it and click ADD. It should now be in the main list of allowed programmes in your windows firewall. make sure the two boxes next to it are ticked. That should be it.

Of course your OS is probably in French :tongue: I hope you can work it out from my instructions.

 

[Freddie Besems]

I already did it. only change also to public. So both blocks. Steam and Race 07 you dont need public. Also now my router/modem i opened the ports. but i have to do some tests if all is oke now.

thx for sharing information.
