Brave words and I for one fervently, yes fervently hope Jaap ain't talking outta his ass again!

He is talking about a team...I thought the team is whole 1 person :g:

This is bit funny...

QuoteWhat happens after a new client connects is that the car and livery of this new driver will only be loaded when you are standing still (0 km/h). Then a â€˜Loading new car modelsâ€™ screen appears. Until that moment, the new car will display as a â€˜boxâ€™, similar to what has been seen in other simulators as well.

Doh, like where? :doh:

Other than that, it sounds quite good...physics wise :g:

Seriously netKar Pro has the best feel of anything I've used. (takes time to reflect) Better than LFS better than Simbin stuff and better than iRacing! If only they make it more 'accessable'
Have to use a wheel though! :norty:

I suggest you pull your NKPro server out from under your bed so you can fire it up as soon as the new version it is out. Looking forward to test it.

Sadly, it still will be 3(4) single seaters.
There is a few new tracks though.

Sounds almost too good. I guess I will have to take my first test drive with NKP soon.

Server standing by

From FAQ:

Q: I've turned on the engine several times, now it doesn't work anymore. What to do?
A: These kind of single seaters are equipped with a start engine and a small battery. If you battery too much, battery charge will exhaust. In this case, leave the track session and restart it.

:lmfao:

You need to turn on all the buttons on the dash board with your mouse, on one of the cars (i think its the fastest one FTarget ) there is a switch located behind the wheel on the right hand side, (cant really see it with the wheel on) abit hidden.

2 buttons to switch on the left, one on the right, then hit starter.

hope this helps

yeah sound very interesting, might be joining you

I knew it was going to be bad. And so it was. Theres just one gear in the demo and to get started you have to press K then Space and then K again before you can drive. Realistic? Or did I miss something? :woot2:

Ok, seriously, 1.02 did not convince me, but I'll try again once the 1.03 is out.

What the feck!? :blink: One gear? How can anybody test it with only one gear? Are you sure you just didn't know how to change gear or was the pit limiter on? :lmfao:

Try this Use your mouse to point to the relevant switch and click. Easy once you get your head round it. One gear? It's a sequential box and you must lift off the throttle to change.

Now go try again. :flirty:

Romus · September 24, 2008, 06:12:57 PM

I meant that I could not in 3 minutes figure it out how to change gears. Wheel paddles did not do anything even when using clutch. Clutch and paddles work ok in the controller options screen. Finally I could do it if I momentarily changed over to use keyboard as controller.

In my previous post I described the problem in a way my customers often describe their technical problems (Im a tech support engineer/system operator/tech trainer). I've gotten so tired of fiddling all the settings that I simply expect a quality product to be intuitive to use, and this one was not that. But with 1.0.3 I'll for sure have more patience. =)

Toddshooter · September 24, 2008, 06:33:16 PM

I feel your pain Romus.
The last time I installed this beasty I couldn't even get the engine started. About 6 months later I found a great step by step article about how to start the car and get out of the pits....but I fell asleep on the 10th page:g:

Maybe soon it will be better for my little brain.

Doorman · September 24, 2008, 06:57:59 PM

:roflmao: I hear you. First you need to have very little real life....
