D3 scoring done -
Congratulations to CallMeMike/ @Adramike (you know... Mike) for tonight's win. We were missing some of our stars, but the few who made it enjoyed a very fun and close night of racing! Kudos as well to our little band of brothers for pulling together to fill the jobs and make the night happen, especially @Raw10_2u and @JamCar0ne.
Not sure about the "star" part but I'm certainly one of the regulars.. Was planning to race last night but had a last minute emergency to deal with. Glad it went smooth and you all had fun. 👍 Hope to make it next week.
 
Yes, I was comparing the Pro vs. Standard. The biggest thing I noticed was that rough edges during gameplay smoothed out. I'm not sure of and nor do I care if it's the console or not, but things appeared much smoother and clearly defined. The road surfaces appear to transition from one type of texture to another much more realistically as well. Not much but enough that you immediately notice it.

But do you notice any difference with a 720 or 1080 tv?
 
@GTLehman I noticed that you have uploaded a set of replays. I need to ask that you upload them again. The set you uploaded has the file names changed. The PS3 will not read those files as replays due to the changing of the name. When uploaded, they need to be left with the original file name that starts with BCS or whatever it is.

It would be nice if we could change file names to identify races but the PS3 just won't recognize the file. The nice thing is that the gallery in the game will show the title of the room when the replay was created.

Also, could you please upload the next batch into the specific folder for your division.

Thank you. You can consider the deadline to upload met as you did get a full set of replays in before the deadline. If you're at work or something and can't get to it today, later tonight will be just fine.

Thanks for the help JL - I have rezipped the original files, but in Google the folders are greyed out and it tells me I don't have permission to edit.

Yes, you are one of the regulars I was talking about Paddy. I was really looking forward to chasing you down in the uccello di fuoco again and see if I could actually PASS you this time!

The round that received the most elimination votes was:
Round 3 - Lexus IS F Touring Car '07 (Racing: Hard) at Autumn Ring / Forward (5 laps)
Therefore the entire combo has been dropped from next week's line-up. Since @msgt-sd wins Prize A, he gets to choose an entirely new car and track combo to replace it.

The round that received the second most elimination votes was:
Round 1 - Pontiac Firebird Trans Am '78 (Sports: Hard) at Circuito di Roma / Forward (8 laps)
This means either the car or the track will be replaced for next week's line-up. Since @nmcp1 gets Prize B, he has the option to freeze the car or the track, or he can give that option to the Prize C winner. If he gives the freeze away, then he gets to decide what car or track replaces the part of the combo that is left unfrozen by the Prize C winner.

Prize C goes to @TEX36 so he gets whichever option the Prize B winner does not select.

Preliminary prize winners, please don't announce your prize selection until all incident reports have been filed and it has been confirmed that you don't have any penalties. It's also recommended that you review the SNAIL combo history and other data on our car and track history so that you can get an idea how many times we've raced each car and track. Please remember that originality is always appreciated, so picking cars and tracks that we've never raced is a plus (but not required). What's more important is that you thoroughly test any combo that you are considering before making it your official selection. For example, any car you select should not hit its rev limiter at any point during a race (even in the draft).

IMPORTANT: When posting your Prize A or Prize B selection, please list the complete in-game name of the car and/or track you are selecting. For example, if you want to select the Amuse Superlegara for your car, post "Amuse Nismo 380 RS Superlagara". If you want to select Monza for a track, post "Autodromo Nazionale Monza". This makes it much easier for the lineup to be updated accurately and also prevents confusing other league members as to which car or track you are selecting. Also, please be sure to list the PP and HP (after oil change) of any car you select.

Car Selection Guidelines
See Section 3 of the SNAIL OLR, Policies and Guidelines.

Great selection! I've really been hoping someone would choose the GTR. Sould be a great night between this and the T/A.

And you can paint it !!

I can already tell you that it looks great in avocado green...
 
Hey guys... Have we got any events outside of GT going on? I think we used to have a Pcars thing going on. I finally got my pedals figured out (still need to build a proper mount for them, but they are currently usable) and picked up Dirt Rally, Pcars and AC. Looking through the links it seems the Pcars league died. Or, is there a league that some of you guys are a part of that do any of these for the PC?

Yes. PITS is running strong on Project CARS.
 
Guys I need some help here. I've been using a Turtle Beach PX4 headset, and every time I use it I can clearly hear chat, and the sound is great, however, when I try to talk or answer someone, nobody hears me! I'm not the most tech savoy guy, so I'm not sure if this issue is related to my headset, or possibly my internet connection? I am hard wired and don't know the exact speeds but download is about 9-10 Mbps and not sure on upload.

Our first race of a new season starts tomorrow night. Stop on by and have some fun.

We're still waiting for the private lobbies in AC. Word on the street is that the lobbies are going to be focused on structured league play, so here's to hoping everything works out for them and us.

What we've been doing is using the PS4 party chat to communicate with one another, decide on a race (predetermined by AC) and all fill that room. But the more you add, the higher your room climbs on the participation list ( the more racers you have in one room, the higher that room moves on the list) and when other racers outside of your group start mucking up the waters the more difficult it is to have a clean race.

I think USERID has a group set up already that he can add you to the notification list and we could shoot you a party notice and race alerts. I'll add you to my list and shoot you messages when we get together.

I'm starting on PC, just got Assetto and Automobilista, but I'm not at home, so haven't really played.
Once I'm back, I'll be trying it out. Just the sheer volume of available mods is staggering...

I've got a PX22 and have experienced the same problem intermittently lately. Sometimes reseating my witres helps, but sometimes I have to stick the mike in my mouth so I'm not completely sure if the headset has an issue or it's just me. Mine was purchased as a factory refurbished unit.
