@Yonis

Thank you very much or this widget. Runs great on my mac and is now keeping my bob's nicely busy :)

Just check back like 2 pages on the thread...message board courtesy rules say I should say that in an angry way but I won't.

Next time check the thread a little before asking a question 5000 people have already asked.

That looks awesome Yonis. It will solve the problem of not wanting to delete online racing friends, but only wanting to remote those people who host. Fantastic.

Cool, I'm in the "ALWAYS USE" section. :sly:
 
Slightly off topic but will i need to delete the cache for both my PSN accounts? I have a second account for running all my drivers on my main account.

And I'm the randomly use section. Even though I'm not among yonis PSN-friends. Don't mind it though...

And once again: Thank you very much for a great widget, yonis!

I've only been using this for a couple of days (👍👍👍), but I'm already exited by this future update.
 
That's amazing Yonis!
I haven't used this app. yet, but I'm gonna start that soon!

But why oh why must you 'never use' the only Belgian guy in your list :o ;)
Not that it's me but meh :p

I'm not either. It's just a bunch of random PSN's who have been active on this thread. Still cool though ;)

EDIT: Top avatar. Day of the Tentacle was a fun game.

OT:
I kind of figured that.
Thanks. Yes, it's a classic game I will always love.
 
This tool is absolutely amazing sir, we are all extremely grateful to have you in this community. I am definitely looking forward to the next update! 👍
 
I'm afraid I'm still having issues with v.1.1.1. Lots of errors last night.
v.0.9 was more stable but still hiccuped once in a while.

Yonis, hope you saw my post where I detailed a lot of the errors.

Really appreciate all of your hard work.
Thanks
 
Sonia, do you still need those updates? I have all of them archived.
 
Updates for what sorry?

I echo this. Does this store the driver data locally or download every time you load the app?

If it is local. How does it refresh if you gain/remove friends?
 
v.1.1.1 - Same again. :( Any feedback appreciated.

I tried version 1.1.1 yesterday but it could not login. Reverted to 0.9 and all is well.

And to round it out, v1.0 has been running perfectly for just a few hours short of 2 days straight without issue. 👍

Strangely, v.1.0 has just started new races twice without error for me too. Thought I'd give it a shot since its' predecessor and successor don't want to play.
 
1.1 is the only one I've had problems with, 1.1.1 running ok here on my mac..
 
my 1.1 has been going good, but yesterday it's been getting stuck on reserve drivers, i restart and it works another few races
 
i am using 1.1.1 as i write this and it has been fine
 
v.1.0 has been running for me for approx. 2hrs without any problems.
 
Works fine...when u have friends atleast, I think the problems come in when u have no friends or no drivers available but other then that thumbs up YO...
 
So, I guess we can no longer donate to yonis?
