Ricky/Jonerz, you must have the wrong track, I see you trying get in.

Yeah, I tried to get in, had the wrong track. Can't make it back in tonight though, but I'll check you guys later.

How about every Sunday night into perpetuity?

Well got DQ'd from that last one... Saw the timer expire and went! Never done a standing start on rFactor before!
 
Zhuhai or something? I may call it quits, though I'm having a blast...your guys on for tomorrow or tuesday?

Gonna look for the track.
 
I can't find the track anywhere, calling it quits for tonight.

Thx for the fun racing guys, hope to see us all, and more, racing in the coming days.
 
Had a blast guys! Needed a break from iRacing and GT5, gotta figure out how to get a server up...

The timer is just the countdown to get onto the grid, when it hits zero the race start countdown begins.

Watched the replay of the Mid Ohio race, Stig and I were having a great battle up front. Initially thought he was planning on diving up the inside into turn 4 (first right-hander after back stretch) on lap 3(?), so left a ton of room on the inside, which he was unable to make use of. Think it was lap 4 when he passed me into turn 1, then on the final lap he rode the inside kerb of turn 9 a bit too hard and spun off into the wall. He probably would've won by 6-8s if that didn't happen :ouch:

Really fun racing with you guys, would love to do it again sometime soon. Wonder if any of the iRacing guys that have rFactor would be interested, as the more people the merrier.
 
Thanks for the great racing guys, I really enjoyed it (shame I couldn't stay on there for the second race, though) and I'll definitely be back tomorrow.

The car got a bit sideways under braking coming into turn 4, otherwise I would have tried to pass you there. I also thought I braked too late into turn two when I passed you, and I still can't believe I got away with it. I really should have backed off on the last lap instead of going flat out and making a noobish mistake.
 
I thought I was braking too early into turn 2, so I wouldn't say you were braking late!

You were loosing a lot of time there, I spun out trying not to hit you don't know if you broke hard because of the car in front but in that particular lap you braked more than what I anticipated...
It was some good times guys! Hope we can get a league going or at least set a good racing day!
 
GT1 and GT2 is what we ran. Only managed 3 races really, mostly because we didn't have the tracks the server called for. If we get a server going it will go faster and we can have more fun. Eventually I hope we can get one or more championships going.

I will likely be available tonight and tomorrow if any of you are interested, may use the same server(s), Enduracers, DRM or other series. Let me know.
 
Yeah that was great fun. I think we should look for a server with a little better ping. That one was all the way in Indonesia I think which explains the foreign tracks at the end of the night.

Btw very cool of you Jav keeping pace with me and stuff that was funny
 
Ok guys, GTP Petit LeMans this Sunday 1hr race!
What do you guys think?
I should be able to learn how to get a server up by then...
Let me know your thoughts to start a thread on the spot races forum!
 
Jav, provided I am not busy with friends who will be here for a visit, I will plan on being there. The idea sounds great.

I will add it may be more fun to have more/shorter races initially, like a mini championship of 4-6 races, especially given how twitchy Enduracers cars are. I went back and looked at the replays, man we were all spinning at one time or another hehe.

I'm not sure about a longer race.
Maybe two half hour races with tire wear, fuel usage, and time turned up a bit.
Definitely Enduracers again, maybe prototypes this time?
Also, which Road Atlanta? Link?
I think another thread would be good specifically for spot races.

I think that we should try Lime Rock since it's so much smaller and we have so few people. Would keep us together more. Pretty easy to learn also.
If you're all really up for a challenge we need to do a one lapper around the Targa Florio. :lol:

I'm up for a couple races tonight also.

I'll post a link tonight for the track! The Limerock version I have is missing a corner and it is actually on the rFactorcentral HOF lol!!
We can definitely do a Limerock race!!
Gatr go troll on the GTPFIA thread and get those guys here!!
 
Road Atlanta

I also like Assen for Enduracers, wide, fast and plenty of passing opportunity.

@ Gogarts and others, is it possible for you guys to use the same name in rF as you have in these forums? I get confused :P

It's not missing a corner, it's just an older version of the track.
The guy said he's working on an update for the newest version of the track ATM.
I'll troll the GTPFIA thread as well as the ALMS only if you do the same in the iRacing thread. :P

Thanks for the link. 👍
I was using the same name?
 
Two questions:
1) Which add-one do you guys have? Not cars/tracks, stuff like realfeel etc.
2) How can I turn up the steering resistance/turn off power steering?
 
Personally, I do not use real feel or Leo's FF, I find them a bit complicated to set up and can have mixed results. I am by no means an expert. I have researched several forums to find ways to tweak the built in rFactor force feedback. I have ultimately found a setting that, though far from perfect, I find to be very good. If you like, I would happily copy you the file, all you would have to do is insert your player name. Tips here.

In case you don't know them, com8 and carrera4 also make very, very nice tracks.
 
I went back to using the previous version of real feel. But some mods, like Enduracers, I just cant get to feel proper with it. Might remove real feel again. What a shame

Was that on the opening lap? For the first couple of laps I was basically still trying to get my eye in from practice/qualy; I haven't driven Enduracers much (especially with aids off - I only had auto-clutch active) so I was being a bit more cautious than I would otherwise be. Sincerest apologies if my being a bit too cautious affected your race.

In a car that's familiar to me I'd say I'm one of the latest of the late brakers :dopey:

No don't do that! Try and find that add on that combines leo ffb and reel feel, it basically uses one for low speed and the other for high speed. It's somewhere on this thread... It works great!!

Dont even worry about that! I had a blast running with you guys!!
