Quote from: Deetz;280401Baa, really annoying. Kept getting kicked, or server restart or something.

:ranting2:

It didn't seem like I was the only one, I also had the issue Obsolum had trying to connect.

Not a happy server.

I'm away for a few days but will try to get to the bottom of the issues when I get back (Oh well. They did warn me it was a pig

).

I tweaked the bandwidth allocations this morning (gave it more

and set the damage multiplier to 100%.

Let me have your feedback, folks.

Aye, I got disconnected a number of times as well and sometimes had to try reconnecting several times before I could get back in. When I got disconnected again in the second lap of the race I decided to call it a night.

Thanks Oldie, I'll give it a try later on and see how it goes.

Lameduck · June 25, 2009, 10:57:25 AM

Joined circuit OK and had a few laps without any problems (other than my driving). Server was in main listing and appeared stable. Will try again later when more folk are about, but thanks Oldie.

obsolum · June 26, 2009, 04:29:48 PM

I just did some laps with the AI (don't know who put them on but at least now you have some company

and everything seemed fine. Thanks Oldie.

Deetz · June 27, 2009, 12:41:28 AM

Had a few more problems with the server again today. There were about 12 people on, the race started and about 3/4 of the way through lap one, and all the other cars disappeared. Everyone experienced the same thing.

Re-starting the weekend didn't really fix things, until exit and re-join. The race restart with 4 or 5 people was ok, and the next race as well.

Cheers.

It kinda makes sense to get the thing stable first but ...

To all: I'm happy to put additional tracks up so let's have a list of the 10 tracks that you want to see on the server.

Spa: http://www.rfactorcentral.com/detail.cfm?ID=Spa-Francorchamps%201967

Bathurst: http://www.rfactorcentral.com/detail.cfm?ID=Bathurst%20ORSM

are my two please, of the cars we have at the moment, the mini isn't in the same class so needs replacing with something, I'm happy with the capri/escort so someone else who knows should suggest alternatives.

Seany · June 28, 2009, 08:46:05 PM

For my two tracks I would choose

Wanneroo(Barbagallo) http://www.rfactorcentral.com/detail.cfm?ID=Wanneroo

Le Mans http://www.rfactorcentral.com/detail.cfm?ID=Le%20Mans%201972-1986

Hey folks, well I have a suggestion... just a lil one, and its called

Thermalito ... http://www.rfactorcentral.com/detail.cfm?ID=Thermalito :woot2:
Oh I found a pretty cool video of it in action too .. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9pxP8_o17M heheh

This track is crazy fun, and it looks good too

And its decent with a sizable grid too. As for a car to go with the Escort.. hmm maybe the Abarth/Ferrari 250/Porsche 914?

One of those is bound to be similar performance wise. Though I can't remember exactly how they compare as I usually just race against the same type of car, but they can't be far off can they? :roflmao:

Isn't that a 'fictional' track? Surely there are enough 'real' tracks we can cut our teeth on. Looking at the vid, it seems to be composed of bits of other circuits, corkscrew of Leguna Seca, tunnel from Monaco etc. but good vid nevertheless

mattgirv · June 29, 2009, 03:34:55 PM

Yeah its kind of semi-fictional in a sense. There isn't actually a race course, but I'm pretty sure he based the layout around real roads around a dam that is there, in Thermalito.

Saw something he is working on that is a track based around the town centre of Liverpool... so it looks as if he basically is taking real life roads, and turning them into race tracks per say.

You are right there are ton of real tracks that can be used instead, wasn't sure whether that was what was being aimed for though.
