But anyway are these problems server or nK pro related?:g:

Can't we try racing on someone else server?
(just to stress test and look if it's server related)
Good idea, any takers?

I've just spent the lonliest hour of my life, well not quite, but damned close. I completed 29 laps of Prato and sat on the track just before the finish line and waited for and hour and five minutes to pass. I then crossed the line and was declared the winner! :yahoo:
 My theory goes like this. In the config file is an entry that says 'SESSION TIME' this was set at 30. presumably minutes. :g: I think, if I change that to 60 and see what happens. So, what did I prove? I proved that nKP can handle 30 lap races and that it didn't finish as soon as the hour+five was up! Any further forward? I'm not sure. I think that nKP doesn't accept the number of laps as being the defining factor in Race session and that session time plays it's part.
The tough part is getting people to give it another go.

The disconnect crap? I have a gut feeling that it's similar to LFS in that one bad connection screws it for those around him. I'm afraid that wireless may be a culprit. I don't know. :sad:

Good man, did you get your beers in first though :)

Would it be possible to set one of the servers that normally run throughout the week to the specs required for a full race session and leave it going all week?
That way people could join for pickup sessions and do a full length full mode race and see if there are any problems? I'd definitely give it a go.
It would be a real shame if we were forced to give up the Wednesday races, they were getting good.

Hi,

Congrat's about server investigations.

I just would like to explore all the way possible, I don't know if there is a link but in GPC league Jaap has collect all the skin from all driver's and all driver's have installed all skin in their NKPro folder.

Do we have to do the same here ?

So bad for yesterday, I really appreciate this kind of race, specially with the pitstop.

See you on next event.

Well thanks for sounding so cheerful. It very encouraging. :D You can download our team skins from the 'dMr Downloads' in the side bar. Yours is red and white isn't it. I saw it as you passed me. :)

let me know when the next race is taking place... i will be there :)

Concerning the session time setting, i think it's weird that with first two races nobody seems to have the problem with finishing to early.

Maybe the setting only has effect on "official" tracks because the first two races where at Montreal and Spa.... :g:

Actually the first race was at Aviano (several weeks ago) and we had a similar problem. It then went to last lake place then Montreal and then spa with no problems- you are right though.  It does seem that we have only had problems on official NetKar Pro tracks- This seems pretty blatant to me:  Three unofficial tracks had no problems and the two official tracks had the issue.

I know nothing about setting up servers so I’ll leave my investigation at that. :D

I will definitely carry on racing with you guys on Wednesdays though.  First off you all seem like a good bunch of fair and friendly guys.  Second when it works, the racing experience with NKP is excellent. Thirdly- the missus is out all Wednesday evening so conveniently I am shackle free.  I don’t get a lot of time for serious sim racing nowadays so I'll grasp any good opportunity to sharpen my driving skills in a competitive environment with both hands.

Doorman- I think I speak for us all when I say we appreciate all the time that you are dedicating to this- don’t loose faith with it just yet.

So doing the count 1 + 1 = no worries for the rest of the season. ;)

And yes, it's Great to have some organized action in nKP beside "a-bit-too-serious"* GPC. Please keep it going, at least lets see how it goes in Snetterton.

*No need for anyone to get offended. Just my opinion, I'm in it for fun.

In the light of some testing done by GPC tonight, the bandwidth setting seemed to make a difference. For Snetterton I've made the server bandwidth requirements 200 somethings as against 300 somethings :D I've also made the Race session not only 40 laps but 70 minutes as well. That would appear to cover all the bases....I hope. If this one goes tits up I have a cutthroat razer by my steering wheel. Listen out for gurgling sounds if you're on Ventrilo! :rolleyes:

No need to go that far. You can always fire up iRacing! There are some people waiting for you there...

Blimey, it didn't take long from a representative from the Church of iRacing to turn up and spread the gospel.:rolleyes: :sideways:
 At least when you've told the Jehovah's witnesses to **** off a couple of times they get the message. :lmfao:
 

 Lets hope we see a difference on Wednesday Ron :)
