Finished [FGTA - WGTC] [S2] Thanks for a great season! Merry Christmas everyone!

All details of driver grading is in the Drivers brief in post #2

 

FGTA ANNOUNCEMENT
​

As it it becoming difficult to keep all the drivers coming and going on the OP of the FGTA thread ([link] please also watch thread), we would like you all to complete this form to confirm your commitment to the FGTA as a driver, it will only take a few seconds to complete.

NO FGTA DRIVERS OR OFFICIALS HAVE BEEN AUTOMATICALLY ADDED, SO ALL MEMBERS WILL NEED TO DO THIS.

We hope you never do, but, if for any reason you wish to have your name removed from the FGTA list, please complete this form.

Many Thanks.

 

How are things coming Mikey? Can't wait to start your series. I think you'll run a great series

 

The testing is going well, little slow due to still finishing season 1, but we will be ready in time

 

That's good.. If you need any help with anything. Just let me know

 

As for car testing, we now have 7 drivers running the cars and inputting times and data onto the spreadsheet, so the cars will be sorted, nearly complete with the 1st phase and they are looking close, but they will be closer

 

Welcome to @RodeRuner1967 I have put you as a reserve for now, but I would guess there will be a full time space open up before long

 

I have had word from @HMilan21 does not think he will be able to fix the technical issues that have seen him pull out of season 1 before the start of this season

This does however mean the 1st reserve (not requested to be reserve) can move to a full time seat, this would be @GTP IWIN if you would rather be a reserve, please let me know.

of course you won't

 

Oh yay. New feature allows you to set a time limit for the race!

 

New feature?? Update?

 

1.07 update yesterday

 

So, anybody know, has anything been fixed this time?

Or have they just added more features to a broken game?

 

We I do know that once the GT5 servers close down the lag will reduce. As for the update some lobby setting changes and the BMW Vision GT is out.

 

So no, just added more things to go wrong into a game that doesn't work
At least this time some of the features are actually useful to most of the GT community, but all the bug's still exsist, except the one that cut into PD's profits

 

I think though by the end of the month the lag will reduce. Running two servers at the same time caused half of these problems.

 

Lag is fine, we don't have much of that in season 1, just DC's, but

Reports of fixed tyre glitch
https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/update-1-07.308836/page-4#post-9658664

 

And after some testing of our own I'm pretty sure we can say it's fixed, right Mikey? Very nice to have it fixed ahead of the season.

 

Yes, it does appear the tyre glitch is fixed

 

Yes, it does appear the tyre glitch is fixed

EDIT: FFS

 

I tested it too and it is definitely gone, sadly MR cars are still broken.

 

By broken I think you mean pretty damn challenging Definitely fun to drive them but takes huge skill to be consistent in a full race with them. Never going in too fast in to a corner and always braking in a straight line.. MR cars are definitely not made for me.

 

Yes this is true you can drive them but you can't push them like a FR and be as consistent, especially now that the tire glitch is gone. MR cars do not handle like that in real life either. I know some of you watch the WEC and TUDOR, the Audi's, BMW's, 458's, and 911's don't randomly over rotate in corners.

 

I just assumed all the drivers in those series are fantastic drivers who can handle that consistently ^^ (not really.. I think racing MR cars are misrepresented with this, probably accurate on cars like the stratos and some of the lotuses though )

 

Stratos isn't so bad if you add chassis reinforcement. Just remember to add a wing, flat floor, and of course the rally lights, because why not?

 

Not TUDOR, USCC.

 

Same thing, TUDOR is the sponsor.

 

Any update on car regs?

 

What we have so far is OK(ish) on average they are about 1 second apart, but some gaps were there, so we are about to adjust them a little, and with the new tyre model, we can really get to work on them, I don't expect them to be finalized any time soon, but want to have them done by the time grading is completed

EDIT: Also, welcome to @BEjamin our newest sign up, I have put you in as a reserve for now, if spaces open up, you are 4th inline to take that space

 

Is there a max number of drivers per car in each class?
