I had something similar happen, Christian. I managed to get it downloaded by tinkering with the network settings (bottom right corner of the server browser), but never really made sense of what the problem was. The main thing I did was turn the bandwidth up.

No, there are some issues with "get mod" (Vmod download). It's trail and error at the moment. Some times it works, some times it doesn't. Network settings should be 256kbs on the client side. Setting a higher number has no effect.

"Get Missing Content" is from external links and is not limited by the 256kbs.

Everything is fixed again. Get Mod is working again.

Get missing components might be slow with Nords 24h package.
A new download link is in the first post.

@Aleksi Kivelä

What are you trying to proof:
20 years of F1 evolution and a billion dollar development ... For nothing!

And:

06:44:494 ==> a world record!!!

Where is my 6.46.xxx with the Formula ISI, it has been effectively made, I know it ! Same for my 7.20.xxx with the F643, I can't see it: both must be recorded somewhere...
Is the server able to record my available laps in the FR 3.5, as a wrong time lap appears for me ?

Aleksi Kivelä · Jan 10, 2015

When I crack 7 minutes with the Ferrari 643, I might have another go with the F1 car.

I have to say I got a little bit addicted yesterday.

Only records time with steering wheels bud

No more nords server. Event closed? @Gijs van Elderen

@Aleksi Kivelä what confused me is why you were on 42 laps but stopped short to record a time, why not let it record the lap If you're going to get to 6.44 anyway.

Aleksi Kivelä · Jan 10, 2015

I don't quite understand your question but with the 643 I was going for a sub 7 minute time. I must have been so much slower than PB that I didn't think it was possible to catch up on the rest of the lap and decided to stop.

You did that 42 times though so why not complete the lap in whatever time and just keep completing laps while getting your time down. Obviously going on for fuel.

Most of the time the lap ended in a violent crash but you are right. It would have been better to slow down a little bit and make a full lap and then speed up again.

but you got your quick lap eventually

Gijs van Elderen · Jan 10, 2015

I've noticed that some lap times are missing in the live timing.

, I don't know why!
So, sorry about that. I can only note lap times that are picked up by the live timing.
It can be track related: the Nords 24h is a test version!

Server is down for major maintenance on this machine. It's for giving you guys a better service.

So i can't do an other Hotlap challenge next week.

What car do you want next hotlap challenge?
