Texting duties completed for D5

I guess these things are bound to happen every once in a while... Last night @Neutty did a 1:21.071 on Lap 5, then on Lap 6 I did the exact same ''fastest lap''

 

[Neutty]

D1 Texting was a success.

Nic and I had an excellent battle at NGP for the 2nd race. That was a ton of fun.

So this is the second week now where my PS4 shuts itself off abruptly mid race and I have to restart it by pushing power twice. It then goes into a recovery mode and restarts. It only happens in GTsport. Any ideas? There isn’t much online about it so I guess I’ll just keep trying different things until it works.

I just reinitialized my PS4 per internet advice and now have hours upon hours ahead of me redownloading everything. The next step they call for would be to start in safe mode and rebuild the database. Then if all else fails tear it apart and clean it off. I hope I can get this figured out soon. At least pcars2 runs without a hitch so I can still race somewhere.

Do you have a PS4 amateur or pro? Asking because I have a pro but only have a 1080i tv. Have found it works best with GT Sport set for best quality(which I think is default) and the super-sampling (or whatever Sony calls it) is turned off. When I have GT Sport set to best frame rate, the game is jittery and when the sampling stuff turned on, the fan intermittently goes crazy. Just thinking maybe you have one of the modes set to a value that is pissing off your PS4 and it is shutting down from heat.

Fanatec CSL Elite PS4 users:
How well is the current firmware working on GT Sport? Any issues to be aware of?

Don't know what the current version of firmware is, and not certain how to tell what I have. But these numbers pop up when I turn the wheel on: 335 018 They seem to work well.

my face when i entered the lobby and found out that i missed the first rounds due the summer timing change at US....LOL.
all those hours training to be fast wasted.

It's not just the US, Canada does it as well.

Something about the further away from the equator you are, the less energy we consume if we have more daylight.

It's impossible to create more daylight by setting the clocks to a different hour. The sun still rises and sets as before.

its all my fault to be closer to the equator, shame on me.....

 

[Sean Renon]

We moved the clocks forward an hour, which means we get up when the sun is lower, and are at home in the afternoon/evening when the sun is higher.
We have essentially "moved" our schedules forward by and hour to make more effective use of the daylight, thus having to rely on lights less.

I never said we're creating more daylight - we're just shifting our normal operating hours to make more optimal use of the daylight.

its all my fault to be closer to the equator, shame on me.....

The further away from the equator you are the more you are affected by the sun going away sooner in the day during the winter.
Seriously, spend a day in Canada around December and it'll be pitch black by around 5:30pm and the sun won't come up until almost 7am the next morning.

Whereas in the summer it's light until almost 8:30pm. It's weird.

When daylight savings time was first proposed it was said that it would save energy. It actually wastes energy (source) along with disrupting the lives of hundreds of millions of people. All daylight savings time does is cause everyone to lose sleep (except Arizona) and cause @Noob01_lmdead (and others I'm sure) to miss the first races last night.

 

[JLBowler]

Daylight savings is great for those of us that enjoy outdoor activities. I'd much rather have sunlight into the late evening than at 5AM.

 

[Noob01_lmdead]

This wont happen if the earth were flat, as many people belive......

Yea, then it would not have been 5 o'clock somewhere, it would have been 5 o'clock everywhere!

Five o'clock everywhere sounds like a party to me. and the sun would be out.

That whole article is against DST, of course it's going to be a biased.

I would suggest reading something a little more impartial.

Confirms what the first article said. No energy is saved, and there are more accidents.

I don't think you actually read the article as there were examples of both energy savings and increased energy consumption.

 

[JLBowler]

I don't think you actually read the article as there were examples of both energy savings and increased energy consumption.

That's kind of what I was thinking. At least the article you posted took a look at both sides of the discussion and presented facts and research to support either way. Personally, I would like to see a move to the current daylight savings time as standard time and just keep it there.

 

[SAMHAIN85]

Looks like it was a close battle in most divisions last night. Well done guys.

I need a volunteer to screenshot the current standings for each division so I can get the standings thread updated. I wont have access to a computer for 2 weeks. I use the windows snipping tool to do it, so if you can please PM me them and I'll get it updated.
