maybe they have locked me out

Nope.

Our logs show plenty of download attempts by you, most of which failed, but it's not clear what went wrong. The errors are normally associated with problems at the browser end but I can't rule out a server issue.
The logs also show that you successfully downloaded the car at 03:17 UTC (a few minutes after post #23 above) but not the track. Did the file not get saved to disk?
Trying a different browser is certainly good advice and may help us to understand what's amiss.

Nothing is working. I am using Firefox and can download files from other sites (podcasts). So I don't know whats wrong, not going to give up though, just frustrated right now .

 

[Eric Neo]

Ok, sign me up please.

Have you tried Tony’s suggestion Luke?

They work fine for me? Did you try a different browser? just copy and paste these links into a browser

 

[Luke Maney]

I just downloaded Chrome (had Firefox), using an old old version of Internet Explorer. I am now able to download files from RD again. I have no idea why Firefox stopped working, so weird?

Thanks Tony, it was the browser.

 

[Luke Maney]

Chrome is so slow though when downloading, but at least it works.

 

[zAmboni]

Unless I fall asleep I will be there

Here is my setup, it is a modified version of the one Tim O'Glock posted a while ago. Had to add some wing and rear ARB so I could drive it . I change the radiator though, it gets too hot at the setting in the setup file.

Edit: Eric can't use it though

Just race this one and work it out with RD after the race

You have two accounts... That's the problem.
Please PM me and we can sort it out.

Bad luck I guess (But I don't believe in luck)? So its race time and I close down Teamspeak and exit the garage to the grid and start my Reynard (yeah right). Ignition on (check), starter button (nope...nothing). Oh crap! So this is a first for me in over 500 races, never have I been on the grid and couldn't start the engine. First my browser craps out and won't let me download the car and track mods, then I only have a few hours to practice (didn't find this race till late in the week because the calendar is inoperative), then I just sit there on the grid watching you guys follow the pace car around on my mini map. So I exited to the pits hopeing it would let me start from the pits but the green light didn't come on as you guys blasted by.

Oh well, at least I now know I can get up at 3am for a race

we thought your internet crapped it because you dropped from TS and was standing on the grid, we were waiting for you to get back in to the race so we could restart but you didn't come back to TS? did your TS not restart?

 

[zAmboni]

Too many friggin mistakes. Just kept losing the back end coming out of the slow corners. had to pit early because lost the nose cone, spin some more, forgot to turn off damage repair on second pit, there goes 20 or so sec...then miscalculated the amount of fuel I needed to add so I waited for eric to finish before I crossed the line

 

[Jamie]

Absolutely loved that combo. Very challenging but super rewarding. Can’t believe @Eric Neo could get 7.09 l/lap when I was at 7.58. Couldn’t compete with that kind of skill but had a great race long tussle with @Tony .
Thanks for the setup @Fred Locklear

No my internet was fine, I always drop off Teamspeak before the race starts. I couldn't start my car on the grid and you all rolled away for the warmup lap. I did a practice race after (offline) just to see if this issue cropped up again and...well in offline my engine is already running when I go go grid, so I shut it off, then couldn't start it back up? Ignition works but can't start it. So...must have something set wrong on my end?

You need to map controls for both Ignition and Starter, just in case. But my engine was running from the start, even online... Not sure if there is a preference to start with the engine off, I can't find it.

This is when TS comes handy; whenever someone has a problem, we can help him! And restart the race if needed. We didn't know what was happening to you; as Tony mentioned, we thought your internet dropped, and where ready to restart if you would have come back on TS within a few laps.

 

[Pappa_G_27]

So so so upset I missed the race. Moving house sucks and was about 30 minutes short of getting the rig setup after the move.

I do have the starter mapped as well ignition. And my motor was off when you guys were revving, so I must have something set wrong? I just redownload AMS for this race, so they must of changed something? Anyway I was off the pace of the front runners anyway, so better to park it than be a moving speed bump!

 

[Luke Maney]

I like the way you Aussies do things, so if you would let me know what's upcoming so I don't miss anything cool like this combo, it was superb and right up my alley (I just needed more time on track to find the speed needed to challenge you guys.).
