The game arrived yesturday, so i got abit of praccy in only an hour, but i managed to get round the track just...... in the mini  , the game is now 2% complete

Anyway i had alook online at dmw server and noticed u guys use manual gears and auto clutch (thank god for that)  So i need to praccy with manual gears , i dont have my steering wheel setup its to big, so ill have to get the feel on the keys

Anyway im just getting the 1.1 patch ,  u can have upto 36 players online omg.....

Can i pop on to the server ?  if im to noobish and get in the way ill leave

Of course you can come on the server, you're dMw ain'tcha? Get your wheel out, trust me, you'll need it. Tip: Practice in Professional mode, that's to say NO aids at all! Start as you mean to go on. It's a steep learning curve but you'll love it in the end.
/Lecture over  :blush:

Thanks ive downloaded the tracks now Doorman.

I have connected to the server, but after about a lap i keep losing connection to the host, does anyone know what might be causing this??  ive tried some other servers and i get the same thing, about 2-4 mins in i lose connection :S

I managed to get a full race in on 56k mode, but the next track we went to i lost connection again in the quals .  

Even tho i came 1min 25 behind the leader i was happy  dead last i came, i think i didnt see anyone after the 3rd lap  . Then i pushed to hard and ended up in the gravel alot

First off, well done for finishing the race. Given that you were using a keyboard! It has to be said that a lot of people would have given up. Good man.  

I'm not sure about the connection problem but try THIS THREAD on RSC.

Mr admin, your guide post needs updating.

On a side note, a couple of good races last night.I did enjoy the duel with Oldie, first time I've not panicked too much and held on.

Second highlight - screaming past Deetz, server legend, as he was stalled in the pit exit. I used the right line and just the right gear choice to whistle past..


his connection had timed out.

The guide is mine. I think the best would be if I edited that post and referred to another, which Ron could make, in which he lists all track currently on the server. Because this changes all the time, as we get tired of some and new come out. What do you think Ron?

Thanks Gents.

Right next one how do i get the damn throttle and brake to be on seperate pedals?

When i release the throttle the brake is then applied but i cant find an option to turn this off.
And my Driving Force Pro options i do not have "Pedals reported as Combined ticked" which was the first one i checked.

After you unticked it did you then setup the controls again? The split axes have other names, so when you enter the controls again it might help.

It wasn't originally ticked..

Also checked that the global settings in the profiler was not ticked.

When you set up the axes in the game, what are they called? R, Z or X,Y? (or something like that)

You'll be ok then I reckon. If you have that link handy you can do what Oldie does, if he hasn't got the track he nips out and gets it. Only takes a jiffy.


P.S. I didn't mean it. You'll bound to be rusty and WoWised now. Reactions get shot.  :ph34r:

[smite]

Finally sorted it.... i had to selct accel and brake on the right to seperate them.. Doh.

Had a quick play with the mini on the first track of the comp.... it was ok.

How far am i off times then Ron with this track? 41:45

Rust falls off at speed
