Damn you're quick! Went for a pee and the links were up. *I was refreshing every minute, I reckon you were on 5 second refresh. :roflmao:

Yay! :D

Does this thing install on top of the previous version, or do I need to copy all the tracks, skins etc to the new version?

Wow that list of fixes really looks promising with attention to details.

Reminds me of lfs test patches..

Quote from: Gnomie;288735Yay! :D

New install.

Driver and licence folders need to be copied across to the nKPro folder in My Documents now.


Netcode has gone into fail mode.  Needs fixing quickly.  Was great in Beta 1

Abarth rocks!

Perhaps try inserting abarth into beta 1? :d
Maybe there is your quick-abarth-online-fix :)

Hey, :D First impressions are that the Abarth is amazing fun. It handles fantastic!

But is anyone else having crashes with the Abarth on connecting to a server? It just seems to stop on shadows.nko and if I tab out or do anything nks.exe crashes :( Gutting.

Actually on further testing, I realised I had changed the skin from default to something else, I changed it back to default and I can connect to servers now without a problem :D Yay!

What type of shifter does the Abarth have in real life? It uses the H-gate shifter automatically for me, but even with autoclutch disabled it still seems to be clutching by itself. So.. can it really have an H-gate which doesn't require manual clutch..? :g:

Indeed the Abarth rocks, really nice car to drive :yahoo:
I've also noticed a massive frame drop when driving the 500 abarth.

Did a little test at the new track.
My average FPS was about 40 lower then driving a F1600 :sideways:

Did one or two F2000 races and the netcode seems to work fine with that class, I think it has something to do with the 500 model, maybe needs some optimizing. :g:

 I think it was just the driving italia server... or some of the people on it that was the problem.   Raced of a few other servers and its been fine.

I just had my first race on Finnglish, but everyone else left except me and this other guy. Still it seemed pretty good :) Anyone online later?

Definitely! Going on about now. :)

I highly doubt it is so.
But if it did, it wouldn't be inovation. There was one model of twingo that had something called easy shifting or something like that - h shifter without clutch pedal or you were not required to press it in all situations. Also later mercedes introduced similar system in its a-class model.

*Sorry for off topic

Sorry to vent my frustration here, but is it me or are their a lot of bad apples that are new to nkp scene. I've already noticed it in races and in some degree on the RSC forums. :eyebrow: :sideways:

Did you guys noticed something?

I'm sad to say it's to be expected. What we need is to put on some full mode races. :norty: That makes the silly people stay away. :) Still no kicking facility. :rolleyes:

Not sure what the racing is normally like because in all honesty I mostly just raced solo :( But I have been online the last few days and noticed a lot of poor driving followed by disconnections. Which is quite annoying. Not seen anyone that intentionally wrecks though or anything along those lines, just a bit careless.

I think the Abarth brings out the yob in people. :) The usual nKP crowd are fine, as per usual, it's the new intake that's the trouble. :rolleyes: It'll calm down when the novelty's worn off

Looks like there is something wrong with your server. Cant connect to it. NKP crashes. Other servers I tried work. Car type on yours shows up as "iate".

I even had a race without a single issue. (except crash mentioned) Promising!

Edit: OK I see you are working on the server.

I can't connect to any server with people on it. (Empty servers work fine) I installed the beta2 update thingy today, so that should be fine. It just says "cannot connect" or something (the usual message) even when I try multiple times.

Oh well. :) I'll try again tomorrow.

It worked for me, I even got in to the Finnglish server, but decided to tweak my TrackIr 40 seconds before qual was finished and then I got locked out because race was starting....:sad:

Oh well. :) I'll try again tomorrow.

It was a config error that I couldn't see. Turned out it was caused by a little app I use for setting up the server. The 'little app' was updated and now everything is sweetness and light. :D

Nothing special just of movie of me having a great time in the Fiat :D

Another video of someone else having fun :D

Look mum, I'm in a movie!

Pity it's one where i don't win:sad:  Terrible vid. :lmfao:

 Had some good races that night. I only wish i had the Abarth set i now have...

In the latest beta at what RPM doe you guys shift in the F2000?
I've noticed that in some of the knockout tournament replay's the faster guys upshift faster then I do. (Especially in lower gears)

6500-6800 rpm

When the engine says 'enough already!' :norty:

Quote from: The Moose;2899336500-6800 rpm

Thanks.
Have to do my hotlap, not really feel like racing :blink:
Unfortunately the deadline is tonight :sideways:

When the red lights keep on blinking... right :roflmao:
