ARCA Sim Racing

[Bram Hengeveld]

Getting hungry looking at that Burger King livery! Do you have them in Denny's outfit too?

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

I've talked to Ramon and he can take a look at integrating it. But since mrs. Wizard is expecting Baby 3.0 this week, i don't think we should expect it anywhere soon

In order to get things running he asked us to run timed laps on all tracks and at least one track we need to test all the brands on so he has enough data to do his magic!

 

[Maurice Hurkmans]

Another lefty reporting for duty

Beam me up Brammie

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Haha awesome, didnt even know you had Arca Maussie

 

[Maurice Hurkmans]

Haha awesome, didnt even know you had Arca Maussie

Surprise!!! Ill be kissing your bumper muwahahahahaha :rotfl:

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

@Zippy: will we see some fun reversed tracks in the future so we can go right too?

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Maurice, James and me will do some laps on the server to test, any one interested to join us?

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Bert joined as well

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Does anybody know which tracks have working lights in ARCA? So you can do a night race / time scaled event?

 

[Steven Palmer]

I'm sure I read they all support night racing :drool:

 

[James Johnson]

Not Fort Worth?

 

[The Sim Factory]

USA and Daytona currently I believe, Salem may also.

 

[Steven Palmer]

I use this as a guide to start building my own setup. It wasnt made for ARCA but some stuff does transfer.

Could you put the original file on as a download Gareth, I'd like to print that out. (the set up picture)

 

[Bert Van Waes]

I just tested them all:

-Salem
-Nashville Superspeedway
-Iowa Speedway
-Daytona
-USA INtl

The rest doesn't have working lights

Haha, i didn't read this was going down. I had some runs with Steven earlier this day on the server and thought i would have a go again. Lol, just at the moment you guys showed up, nice timing

I had alot of fun and these sessions convinced me of the quality of this sim. It's fantastic!!

Again, no ramming was there in the beginning. Tried to sneak on the inside and got paid by puttin 2 wheels on the flat and spun... You know...

Greets and tx for the fun evening, wich could have been a rather boring television night because these times money saving means not goin out anyway :s

:skywalker::skywalker:

 

[Bert Van Waes]

Tx, stupid me looked over this slider in the beginning:wink2:

The Burger King skin is nicknamed "Fast food" lol. Im currently working on a Subway skin loosely based on a Carl Edwards skin.

A night day to night race at daytona is awesome, I love it when the lights flicker on half way through the race!
