NetKar server

Quote from: Doorman;256810We've also got F2000 at Spa.

Is that a new version like 104 or something? On the server list it says 20 users. nKp normally only allows 15 in a race.

No, that's Ron beta testing a little app and finding a flaw

Still a max of 15 im afraid.

It's back to 15. Test complete.

The F1600 server is today on FULLMODE :norty: I have no idea what the experience is like so go with the flow people.

That's brave Ron

You have to treat it exactly as you would in real life.....

A few tips guys.
You can only load a new setup in the wait time between sessions. Load the set you wish to use in a track day session before joining the server.

In qual make sure you have enough fuel for your inlap as well as your hotlaps. You must drive back to your pit stall. DONT escape to the pits....long penalty.

If you click on something in the setup screen that takes a long time to change you can return it to its original value to stop the timer.

Never crash!

Warning. Full Mode makes iRacing look like it has arcade features:)

Thats something I have been looking forward to!

This is going to be a very interesting evening, and like Vobler, it's something
I've been waiting for. Looking forward to it.

It's not as scary as it sounds. Not if you're used to having no information except what you see on the road and on your pitboard. :norty: TAB assigned to a wheel button now looks like a good idea.

I see you are having loads of fun today on DMR server

I want some... Me at work :crying:

Get back to work! Stop bothering us while we're having fun. :lmfao:

Proper racing ! Thanks for going full mode Ron, i hope it will be a regular occurrence.

Nope, its not scary at all. You just treat it like you would if you were doing it for real

The rewrite of the collision code cant come soon enough though. That was an epic battle between Dave,Juha and myself until it came to an abrupt end when no bloody contact was made

It's weird.... on some servers (SRP for instance) i've had proper wheel to wheel contact and its been fine, on others you cant get within 10 inches of someone.

I'm not blaming the server in any way Ron, but its a bit weird. You seem to be able to get closer to people on higher bandwidth servers. May be purely coincidental though.

Doorman · January 06, 2009, 05:14:16 PM

It may be an idea to make Dead Men Racing 2 (more bandwidth than you can shake a stick at) a full mode server. For me, full mode is the only way. If it's a sim, let's SIM! :yahoo:
Leave the F1600 server in toy mode eh?

That server is only there until every dMr man that is going to, gets the full sim anyway

lovretta · January 06, 2009, 05:24:49 PM

Put them all in full mode

It may be a weapon against wreckers...

Stuart, nice laptime there. Setup maybe :norty: (maybe I will like it :narnar:)

No i ain't going back to work. NKP fault. Even tough I don't have it here it still occupies me :woot2:

Ill post it in the lastplace 1.03 test sets thread

You might want to lengthen the final gear ratio by one more click. It will easily do better than the time I've got so far with a bit of tweaking. You might need to change the steering ratio, its set up for a 270 degree wheel.

Quote from: Doorman;257484It may be an idea to make Dead Men Racing 2 (more bandwidth than you can shake a stick at

I see its still set up at 80KB/s though... (which according to the manual may be correct) How about a little experiment and up it a lot (say 300KB/s)if you have the bandwidth to spare

I see the SRP servers are set up at a ridiculous rate. If you went by the way the manual says then they must have the fattest pipe in Europe! ( I cant be arsed to do the maths but it looks wrong to me.) Yet things seem really smooth and i have been involved in no dodgy collisions on them. not with lowish ping racers anyway)

Gotta eat then i'll be on.
