[Warren Dawes]

Yep, it all works fine Stu.

Only small error is the server name is "Race Dept. DB4's".

All the correct cars and track are there though.

 

[Stuart Thomson]

It's near enough

Thks for checking Warren :good:

 

[Gary Lennon]

Ive fallen out of the GTL loop a little bit lately and need some infos please:

From what i can gather all mods are being stripped out for now then put back one at a time and tested,so do i just delete all my mod car folders or are there other stray files in other folders that will leave messes?.
And i saw some talk of Mid Ohio for this event as well but only a link for Le Mas du Clos,is it all just on Le Mas now?.

Also sign me up please with Falcon,used it before at a club night and loved it :good:,cant think of 2nd car choice but i will look and copy someone soon .

 

[Stuart Thomson]

OK - mod stripouts are purely on the server end, G.

It wouldn't hurt for you to strip them all out and go again one at a time, but it's not mandatory (although Tusting had the same Abarth RCR-only selection problem that you had, so when re-installing that one, take extra care). Check the mod install and see what files are being put where beyond the Car folders

Mid Ohio - that bit will take too long to explain, so I'll just confirm that tonight is 2 Le Mas Du Clos races. Different car for each race.

Once you choose tonight, those 2 cars will be stripped out of your possible choices for the next TC65 full field event. If you miss that one, I will automatically strip the fastest & slowest cars from your available list. That last bit is not just you, it's everyone.

I'm keeping track of it here: http://forum.racedepartment.com/gt-legends/26408-tc65-usage-check-list.html

 

[Stuart Thomson]

I don't care about results. :yo:

I'm with Warren, results are for leagues, club races are for fun

Is the correct attitude, IMO. :good:

I'm only doing the Results site so people can get an idea of how the race was going around them, while they themselves might have been focused on their own personal battle.

 

[Carlos Diaz]

Even though the club races are for fun "mostly", a little healthy competition is still nice. And we LOVE that "Results" site Stu!! Thanks for cooking that up :good:

Also, I need to ask you about the right turn that has the white concrete in tonight's track.

If you can view the video in the link below and let me know if it's legal or not. Thanks!

[Stuart Thomson]

For club nights, just try to keep 2 wheels on the tarmac at all times. That'll be close enough. :good:

I won't be able to view that file before less than an hour before event start, so the above will be good enough for now.

Some cars will struggle to miss it (Falcon's, Stangs, Jags), but as long as no-one cuts too outrageously, we should all be OK. It's not really an overtaking place as there's a really slow corner straight after it. 2 wheels on the tarmac at all times will negate any questions there.

 

[Gary Lennon]

In Evo i found the tracks built in cut rule was ok for that turn,a cut like your vid clip would surely get a warning in Evo.I think the GTL club night spirit should see everyone at least "trying" not to take the piss too much there .

 

[Lee Downham]

If I can get the time off and all things installed and running then I might give this a bash tonight - never properly got into my GTL'ing, but lurved every event I did - so put me on the maybe list would yas Stuart mi ol mucker (if poss)??

 

[Stuart Thomson]

On as a possible, Lee :good:

 

[Stuart Thomson]

Make sure you read the threads about the new lobby and how to use it, Lee.

http://forum.racedepartment.com/gt-legends/24625-gtl-new-lobby-fix-definitive-rd-guide.html

Just so you're fully up to speed - I'm not having another last minute patch fest fiasco like last week. Up until the "official" start 20.00GMT, we'll try and help with questions.

After the official start, sorry, but we go to practice and start turning laps. I might check in with the board once or twice, but people should be prepared ahead of time. If you get it running, excellent :good: if not, no-one else should have to compromise their night.

It's the only real way to be fair, hope you understand.

 

[Lee Downham]

Ta mate ... was just wondering where all that luuurvely info was - had spotted sommat a while back with the lobbies and was just trying to resolve it alone.

... and don't worry, I won't ruin yer practise cos I knows you need it like (but not quite as much as do I!!)

 

[Stuart Thomson]

Tonight, the only things you need beyond a patched v1.1 and buy all cheat enabled game, is the track and two skinpacks - links all in the top thread. :good:

I'm driving the Falcon round a twisty track. There isn't enough practice in the world to be able to say I'm ready. :dance2:

 

[Lee Downham]

KK am sorted and on the lobby and can see loadsa servers but not the RD one ... is it up at the mo??

EDIT: looking at the exe file I am on 1.1, and I vaguely remember getting millions of dollars in the past so's that I can buy any car out there ... but still looking for the server.

 

[Stuart Thomson]

errr - it was earlier

RACEDEPT.COM DB4s it might be up there as

 

[Stuart Thomson]

I'm at work so can't check right now

 

[Amir Margalit]

just checked. no rd server.

 

[Stuart Thomson]

OK - I've asked the other server admins to check and to restart it if needed.

I'm leaving work now, will be home in about an hour.

I'm hopeful it'll be up before then.

 

[Lee Downham]

nice one ... ta and hopefully see you tonight :thumb:

 

[Stuart Thomson]

Server's up - I just joined it twice
