rF1 Unofficial Winter Series

[Ron Squire]

Hello all

(Feel free to dislike while reading, mean after all that is what two drivers would do so)

since everyone (well nearly everyone) is fixed on the rF2 Winter Series, I thought i could give rF1 a good send-off, by hosting a 3 Round Winter Series on rF1, now i am not taking part in the racing, because i am only using Dedicated Server for this, all drivers from FSR and RD are welcome. if you want to practice on one of the tracks below then you can do it offline which is easier and ofcourse online (when server is up which is about 1 hour before the practice)

Mod: CTDPF1_2006 (http://www.ctdp.net/f1-2006.html)
Server: rF1 Winter Series
Password: fsr (lower case)

Rules: at least 1 Pit Stop during race, you must use both tyre compounds in both quali and race, setup is fixed to ensure that the setups are the sme, but will be tested for performance a day before the event by me which will be loaded on the server, Safety Car will be enabled however it will be Computer Controlled and that is all, just have fun.

[Ron Squire]

@Carlos Martín can you help me out with this

 

[Jimlaad43]

what is the problem now, its up and running as i can see here, cant see what the problem is

The problem is that no matter how many times I refresh, the server never appears for me.

 

[Ron Squire]

in your multiplayer.ini what is the number in the Line 'Concurrent Server Updates'

 

[Ron Squire]

if it is less than 100, you need to add another 0 on that for more servers to appear including mine

 

[Jimlaad43]

in your multiplayer.ini what is the number in the Line 'Concurrent Server Updates'

400

 

[Ron Squire]

ok put a greater number in there like 700 or 1000

 

[Jimlaad43]

Made it 1000, found the server and then "Join Timed Out"

 

[Ron Squire]

do the same thing that i said earlier

 

[Jimlaad43]

do the same thing that i said earlier

I have tried everything. I'm going to keep going until 12:15 before stopping.

 

[Ron Squire]

did you put in the password in High or low case

 

[Jimlaad43]

did you put in the password in High or low case

fsr

 

[Ron Squire]

actually i'll take out the password so it is easy access

 

[Ron Squire]

refresh and try it again

 

[Jimlaad43]

The password is not the problem. Open your "Support" folder in the rFactor Folder and read the "FirewallGuide.pdf". I'll wait for a bit longer for you to read it and do what it says.

 

[Ron Squire]

i have no firewall problem

The pdf says to go through there.

 

[Ron Squire]
