[DrKronin]

Hey DrKronin,

We should be able to get you set up in time. Make sure you have the cars needed for tonight's races, listed in the line up post. Do at least an oil change on the cars, breaking them in is better if you have time. You'll be racing in the SNAIL_Division3 lounge tonight.

I'll add you to the drivers list, you'll be starting in Division 3. If you can't make it on a Sunday, please be sure to give us at least 24 hours notice by posting in this forum, it makes things much simpler for us, thanks.

PSN friend requests will be sent to you from SNAIL_Division1, SNAIL_Division2 and SNAIL_Division3. Their lounges are where we race Sunday night and hold our various events. Here's a breakdown of the ways we use the different lounges.

During the week we run a number of different events feel free to jump in and partake!

The original post also has a lot of information regarding the league, commit it to memory

Welcome aboard and enjoy

Awesome, thanks! I'm breaking in the Miata right now. I may not have time to break in all 3 (I think practice is a bigger priority), but I'll read up on all those links, and I'll be there!

OOOooookkkkk!! That was a huge pain! After an hour of frustration, I think I have the whole pic thing wired These are from D3 last week...

 

[zer05ive]

I should be good to go tonight, probably starting the D3 Lounge around 9:40 pm EST.

Excellent! 👍

hey kcheeb, i'm not sure if my PM went through because I did it from my phone, but am I in D1 or D2 tonight?

 

[ExoSphere64]

I am on call for work tonight but I will be racing, but if for some reason I don't show or disappear for no reason that means I had to roll...

 

[kcheeb]

hey kcheeb, i'm not sure if my PM went through because I did it from my phone, but am I in D1 or D2 tonight?

Hey ck, sorry for the confusion. I did say you'd be in D2. I didn't make a note of it in the drivers list and I'm old Short term memory failure.

Race in D1 tonight, given the numbers it's better that you race there rather than dropping down.

My bad

Awesome reference, thanks! I've added a link to it at the bottom of the Prize C post. 👍

sorry for short notice, but I will not be able to attend tonight's races. I am stuck, working in this bleeping gravel pit, on an emergency conveyor belt break. Had I been suspecting the job to occur, I would have given notice earlier. Being that it's only 2 hrs from start, I know I won't be home in time

 

[Chiochan]

Great pic's Exo. I think that's my car peeking through in photo 4. I meant to post some but i haven't had time to do it. worked 10 hours today, wheew. If i am sloppy tonight I am sorry. I'm really tired, like delirious tired. Mabye i will need some tea or something. yea tea that is it.

Thanks! It was my first try at it. I will have to dabble with it as time comes my way and see if I can't do a little better!!

Real life sucks, hate it when it get's in the way!

Thanks for letting us know 👍

I'm doing some last minute practicing for tonight, and I'm wondering, do you guys recommend ABS or not? And if we don't use ABS, are we allowed to change the Brake Balance settings either in the settings menu or during the race?

I would like to eventually ween myself off ABS but without changing the balance the RX-8 is quite a handful. For tonight I'll either have ABS-1, or ABS-0 with different brake balance, depending on what's allowed/recommended.

Thanks guys, I'm excited for tonight! 👍

 

[Rallywagon]

I disc. Kensington Park has a nice course.

Rally, you live only an hour away. I'm in Rochester Hills. Maybe we could have a Michigan SANIL Meet-Up sometime.

I what?

Disc golf ds. Good times. Should come. I got an extra bag of discs you can use
Random. Hit me up in pm sometime. Kensington is my "home" course. But I know fire fights well, holly woods, the woods in
Lansing, I grew up in Waterford less then a mile from baycourt. And Waterford hill. Disc golf is my second passion, but I do a whole lot better at disc golf, I play more competitively.

We should do an MI snail scca solo day, meet up for some autocross.

Exotic, nice pics. However. For the record, I would like to state that #19 was in no way responsible for those white barricades you see strewn about the car.

 

[Rallywagon]

Oh, and I'm in d2 if anyone would like to join. Setting rules in 15.

I use ABS set to 1 on all my cars. I find ABS 0 is almost impossible to control, constant lock ups,.

Brake balance is the only thing you can change on the car. I use a few different settings, usually biased toward the front.

*Disclaimer* #19 was NOT responsible for the tough blocks in the track! Just used as a reference driver! I think they were there even before the race started!!

What you can do to help minimize connection and lag issues​

1) Reboot your isp's modem/router prior to joining your SNAIL_DivisionX lounge.
2) Reboot your PS3 prior to joining your SNAIL_Division lounge.
3) Clear your GT5 in game System Cache prior to joining your SNAIL_Division lounge.

Step 1 is not usually necessary. I've found when my modem is on for long periods and not rebooted, I get connection issues in almost every game I play online. If you've experienced connection issues in the past, it's not going to hurt.

 

[dsgerbc]

I find ABS 0 is almost impossible to control, constant lock ups,.

Try smth like zero for rear brake setting. And try it after tires warm up. It's actually pretty drivable, just not on the first lap of a typical gt5 race.

That should be doable, hopefully picking up a car for that soon.

 

[racefan78]

I might be late tonight, the family wants to do stuff for mothers day

What's smth?

 

[DrKronin]

What's smth?

I think it means "something"

 

[Handlebar]

D3 ready to roll!

 

[whatbadgerseat]

I'm at a mothers day function that's running late. I'll try to join in progress as soon as I can get home.

 

[dabneyd]

I'm not going to make it. Traffic is a Charlie foxtrot here.

 

[dylansan]

Well, this sucks.

I just couldn't stay connected to the room. Every time, 30 seconds in, I get disconnected. So frustrating.

I would say I would get it sorted for next time, but I don't even know what the problem is. And this was supposed to be my first race with you guys.

Did you clear your in game cache?

 

[dylansan]

Yes, several times. And I reset my router, quit the game, disconnected from PSN, etc.

The last time I tried just now I tried to watch the race and two of the cars were just sitting at the start line, then they disappeared and shortly afterwards I disconnected. This happened twice with the same two cars but I don't understand why as I cleared the cache and reset my router in between.

My NAT type was 2 when I checked before the race. I've had connection issues before but nothing this persistent.

This is depressing.

I'm not going to try connecting anymore tonight for fear of lagging the race. But I really need to get this figured out before next weekend.

Edit: It's DrKronin and bigbarnesbefast that I kept seeing stuck at the start. Maybe it's just them that I can't connect to. But either way, I've run out of things to try. I'm going to eat some icecream and cry about my unfulfilled dreams, or whatever people do.

That's too bad dylan, I feel for you.

Try joining in on some of the events during the week. It would also be good to try when DrKronin and bigbarnesbefast are in the rooms too.

 

[Handlebar]

Sorry to hear of your problems, Dylan.

I am retiring. Good racing, all.
