Track and cars changed to Spa, the track is not the Spa 67 one as apart from eau rouge the 67 version is completely different and very long, so it's the Spa 88 that F1 used.

Be aware that the Spa track variant has been changed. Link updated in first post.

Nice version. :) Can't see that it's any shorter than '67 though. :g:
EDIT: Assumed the '67 version was the one I put in 'Tracks you'll need' It's the same one. :doh:

That's what I said.....wasn't it? :D

Err... yes it is :whistle: If you dl the 67 track you won't recognise 90% of the track, or at least I didn't as I was only a :baby2: when it was in use. I thought it would fit the era of the cars when I suggested the track but it's a bit boring to look at and mostly straights.

Does anyone ever race on the dMr server, by the way? I don't think I've ever seen anyone on :g: Seems to me everyone just waits for Doorz' Friday events :D

Yes I do/have. I keep looking there but like you say it's usually empty so I don't join. Also I got a bit fed up with seeing just Bathurts for a couple of weeks but it looks like there might be a more varied track selection now so I'll try again. I usually have a look around 6-7ish. Hopefully I'll see you and a few more from now on :thumb:

Post by: obsolum on July 27, 2009, 10:00:11 AM
Yeah, Bathurst was getting a bit boring, althought it's a terrific track. I also wouldn't mind a different selection of cars now and then, but I guess if there's never anyone on the server there's no use in changing it.

I'll take the Mustang out on Spa tonight :)

As it's not the main racing sim we race, it wont get changed as often, if you're wanting a change then post up with your wishes and they will come true.

Quote from: XLR8;284099Yes I do/have. I keep looking there but like you say it's usually empty so I don't join.

There's the paradox, if you don't join then no one else will as everyone is looking for a server with someone in it.

There's only so many laps you can do by yourself before it gets tiresome, though. I just did practice, quali, warmup and race by myself, waited for the session to restart and then waited a bit more for people to join but no luck.

Post by: Lameduck on July 27, 2009, 09:23:54 PM
I've been on twice tonight, and only met one soul (Mark). Every time I connected I was discoed before I could complete a lap.:sad:

I left, changed cars and tried to rejoin Mark but the server had disappeared from the listing and despite several refresh attempts I still couldnt join. When the server finally came up I was told "Session Closed" :taz:

Decided to have an early night.
(Great racing on LFS earlier though :D)
Title: dMr HistoriX Server
Post by: XLR8 on July 28, 2009, 08:14:11 AM
I did wonder when you disappeared, I thought maybe you'd gone to change car but then you didn't return. I didn't get disco'd so maybe the issue was at your end this time? I don't think I've ever had a problem with the DMR server myself.
A shame we didn't get a race in though. Oh well I'll keep trying, especially in this weather, which isn't even nice enough to sit outside the pub in the height of summer :sad:

Great word Jamin :thumbup:
And I think you're right. Maybe the admin can set the server to have a few AI running all the time to sucker people in :D

fyi - this game server is not listed in our server overview on the forum

edit: is this server even live?

edit2: found it!
Title: dMr HistoriX Server
Post by: Lameduck on August 31, 2009, 07:09:24 PM
For some unfathomable reason you have to refresh the connections list a few times before it pops up. Weird. :g:

I must have been lucky recently then. I have managed to have a couple of two car races round SPA :lmfao:

I am joining this server now, if anyone fancy a race, feel free to join me :)

edit: hm, cant make the server work...
Title: Server still up?
Post by: Toddshooter on November 18, 2009, 04:01:14 PM
Hey Guys

 Is your rFactor server still up? If so would it be possible to set it to one car only?
 This way its close racing no matter who joins? Just a thought...would love to get some great Cortina action or Alfa racing going!!!!

 Thanks Todd

Quick question, what's the port the server is listening to/running at/whatever?

Good question :g:

I've just checked and we don't specify a port on the config or startup.
Title: dMr HistoriX Server
Post by: obsolum on February 14, 2010, 05:54:55 PM
So I'm guessing it's just the default port rFactor uses then.

Thanks Oldie.

Anyone still racing rFactor here? Boogle and I are racing it quite often and would love some action packed races with you guys.:D

 iRacing has stolen most of our team for the time being:) I'm sure its just until their money runs out and their wives divorce them. They will be back:norty:
Title: dMr HistoriX Server
Post by: Lameduck on February 18, 2010, 03:58:16 PM
Sorry, I'm enjoying LFS too much :D
Haven't used rFactor for the past 6 months or so.
Title: dMr HistoriX Server
Post by: Seany on February 18, 2010, 07:15:50 PM
I mostly just have a bash of it offline now and again.  I check over at Ron's place to see if there any rFactor going on, but iRacing and Netkar are the sims of choice at the moment.

Where are you and Boogle racing?

Come on Todd, you know Finnglish is the place to look for rFactor action :) Although they're having a bit of an iRacing resurgance there at the moment as well.

As it happens, though, I've been working on an rF project that I'm waiting to go "live" with. Website and forum are up and running, I just don't have the money to rent a gameserver yet :sad: I've got lots of great ideas for club races and - once I get a big enough community going - league races. I'm really anxious to get it started but I'm afraid it'll have to wait until my financial situation is looking a bit better. Unless I run into a kind soul who's feeling generous... :D

In the meantime I'm still having a blast with the HistorX mod offline, trying all the cars and finding odd and interesting combos for future use on my server once I get it :) The weekly Caterham races over at RaceDepartment are an absolute joy as well, there's some magnificent racing to be had but I guess their hours aren't so Canadian-friendly.

Hi ,
i have been able to join the  dMr HistoriX Server it has goldenport circuit on it .
Does this ever change and does it have to be cotpit view only .
I like to race various mods on rfactor with my buddies ,does dmr have any other rfactor servers at all .
I know dmr members race live for speed mostly and i plan to race that too ,but would be great to be able to have some other circuits to race on rfactor server .

Is it possible to load different mods onto the server ,be great to have a server which is running a mod and a good selection of circuits for a fixed time .
This would give time to learn and race ,then perhaps onto other mods and tracks for the next month .
Any info would be great as i would like to support the dMr HistoriX Server rather than go race on other servers .

thanks in advance for any info

cheers essy

I didn't know the server was still up, if you let me know what tracks, cars and mods you want, we'll try to set it up for you.

We love the Historix Mod so that would be great to start of with all historix cars :)

Perhaps we could post tracks wanted in here ?

off the top me head Favourites

1.   Cadwell

2.  LagunaSeca

3.  Bathurst

4.  Mid Ohio with chicane

I'll also see about firing up the LFS demo server and set it to private so you and your mates can learn in peace, I may come on with you as I love the demo :thumb:

essy, can you post up the links to the tracks you want from http://www.rfactorcentral.com/ as there are different versions of the tracks you requested and the ones I have are old.

I've made a new topic for requests here: http://www.deadmen.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?33579-Tracks-cars-and-mods-requests so can you respond in that topic :thumb:
