Hi Fabiano. Things were going ok and we had some great laps going. For some reason you car was jumping around and disappearing. Last turn, I saw you disappear and when you reappeared you were off track. I didn’t feel any contact. I certainly would have stopped if thought I ran you off. Sorry about what happened.
That's 100% Fabiano's connection issue I mentioned. Looks like it was going on and off the whole race then
Ernie, in the video of Frank I saw that it was my fault. I understeered towards you. Glad you didn't go off because at that moment I would have considered it a race incident and would not have waited. Congrats with your win. I had no change. You're becoming an alien with the Cayman.Was a boring race, so thanks to Han for livening it up, and teaching me the splash and dash works well for the Porsche GT4.
Bit marred by the second to last lap incident, just looked at the replay, really I was quite innocent really, almost, but Han had the worst stretch of road in racing history. First ran wide, then got all crossed up, lost a place, hit by a GT3 car, very naughty GT3 car, then got squashed by me in the corner.
To be fair to me, I find that easy to do,I was hit three times to the corner, and that GT3 car really caused most of it.
Great race, learnt something into the bargain.
Well done Podiums and a special thank you to Brian for the organisation.
No problem with the rolling start. generally no problem with the GT3 cars.
How nice! Thanks for providing this. That's really weird though, because, in theory, then I should see your cars kinda behaving in the same way, and I didn't see anything like that on this race. Then I guess that probably explains what happened on the lap 6 and last two laps.You can watch your replay if you have one. 33:30 time on mine which starts at one minute before the red lights out. Look out for other cars "jumping" unnaturally. I'm pretty sure it was on your end because the Z4 behind me was fine. Could be wireless connection jitter if you were using one
My POV:
Z4 POV:
Han's POV in the end of the race:
I think Demitri found the issue, and although I'm quite sure I had feedback from the wheel before I went off track, then probably the lag might have caused this. No worries at all.
I'll double check this here and actually ask for you guys on next race to give me feedback again in this regard. Thank you again!
Me too. Trust me, after I caused a crash for a mate couple of months ago due to lag (assuming it was a PC issue because I had sometimes the "99% CPU usage" message) I felt it was just right to upgrade my PC (actually I've ended up buying a new whole thing). So FPS is not a problem (running with 100+ fps in a 60Hz screen). And ping is normally lower than 50ms as well but it can be something intermitent in my network so will check that next time. Would appreciate any feedback on that regard.I always look at my Ping, it is on the main screen of all the race and setup screen next to your name, I also always have my FPS in the bottom right hand screen, although they are not linked it is quite often an indication of problems with your PC.
I have about 20 Ping, you can be at 50 - 100 and all should be okay, so for me if I see 50+ I sort of know by looking at everyone’s Ping if it is me or everyone else and then probably a server fault.

Independently from your FPS, your "PHYS_LATE" counter can be an issue. When the counter goes up, the physics calculation was not completed within the standard tick rate.
Thank you for this comprehensive explanation! Just learned something new.Independently from your FPS, your "PHYS_LATE" counter can be an issue. When the counter goes up, the physics calculation was not completed within the standard tick rate.
AC physics ticks and graphics frames aren't synchronized. The graphics engine simply draws whatever is currently in the "physics buffer" basically.
And when the physics buffer contains weird stuff or old stuff and then jumps to fresher and accurate stuff in the next graphics tick, you will see jumping around cars etc.
To check:
"Graphics stats" is a developer app but the more important "Render Stats" can be activated without setting dev apps to active.
Check your PHY and PHY_LATE values.

I would suggest that you replicate yesterday's race with an AI grid so Nurburgring GP, 20 AI, random GT3 + GT4 class.
Make yourself start last, activate the Render Stats app and do one full lap. Then check your PHY_LATE counter!
If it's below 200, it's fine. But it could also be like 5000 and that would be bad
I'll definitely give a try and will let you know how it went.
I'm trying to imagine how we're gonna do it for Nords and unless we use that 108 slots version with the grid moved all the way back to Dottinger I just can'tI really enjoyed that race last night. Had a great battle with Pat in the first stint. Couldn't find a way past his Cayman. Luckily he stopped for tyres so I gained a position with a nice gap. Had a nice battle with Taj in the second stint to get the bottom step of the podium at the finish.
Thanks to all who took part. I thought the rolling start went pretty well. It is on the safe side, but we'll see how it goes in the GT championship at the different tracks. See you next week
Easy. Sorting in-line through the first few turns and then start racing towards the Dunlop Kehre.
The thing is the track on the calendar is plain old Nords without the GP part, so no Dunlop Kehre for us.Easy. Sorting in-line through the first few turns and then start racing towards the Dunlop Kehre.
I don't see what could go wrong going downhill into a hairpin with a full grid
Oh.. Eh.. Well...
