2nd GTPlanet Formula 1 World Championship (Finished - Season Over!)

[mofongo273]

I apologize to those who crashed into me after T3. I got hit on the back twice but this time it was my fault. For some reason, I had a "gear box problem" so I didn't have speed to get out of the way after T3 quickly. I've never had that problem before while playing online. Have anyone of you?

 

[DaddyVDUB]

Manual or Auto? What kind of problem.

Manual or Auto? What kind of problem.

I drive Manual. My car got stocked in 5th. gear, so after slowing down to go around T3, I couldn't shift down to get off the corner quicker.

 

[DaddyVDUB]

Mayby just gremlins,I had a couple of issues with throttle cutting in and out last night.

@ Formulanone...I have done many races at Magny-cours Have'nt ever seen a scoring glitch have you personally seen this?

 

[mofongo273]

For all F1 fans specially in the North America: US will finally have a F1 team. The official launch will be tomorrow Tuesday at 1:00 pm US Eastern on Speed Channel.

Yeah that was me, I tried to avoid you, but I couldn't avoid anyone last night for some reason. . I barely tapped Vdub going into T3/4 on the 1st lap and my wheel snapped off like it was held on by a toothpick. Then had 3 or 4 more random collisions with. Disaster. I qualied 4th and was running 1:12 flats too. Oh well on to Indy.

None so far on my part.

 

[mofongo273]

If none one had a "gear box problem" or had never had that kind of problem, I will start to look into my 3 years old wheel. It acted funny once in the pass while playing F1CE, so I'm assuming it will get worst

Yep I have encountered the gears getting stuck as well, has happened a handful of times though. The way to get round it is, to either completely stop and then move on, but if that doesn't work you will have to crash into a wall and respawn 👎

 

[Kakundoo]

Damn! Indianapolis next, I don't like this track very much .
So a lot of practice will probably be needed here tbh, so I need to know if it will be wet or dry (and if wet, what type of rain lol).
Hopefully I will do well as I seem to be on a bit of a roll, having 4 second places in a row and the my first win and a lot of those were at tracks I didn't like, like Catalunya, so I will never say die!

 

[Ardius]

Will be updating within the hour, going to sort out the tables, etc first. But before that, I need to have some tea.

Good to know. This time, Sumpi (my teammate) helped me with the respawn option, hit hit me so hard that rear wing and right side tires were all over the place. Thanks

 

[Ardius]

Updated the tables, congragulations to Kak for his first win, DaddyVDUB for his jump to 4th and RACECAR for great 3rd win and a jump to the front of the NTSC championship. Also, a proper welcome and congragulations to kingmart1n for a podium place on his introductory race.

Both Jordan and Lofus continue to dominate their respective tables, and the legendary fishfash has finally been overtaken by Kakundoo and Shaggy Alonso - though of course, this wasn't helped by his broken PS3, hope he can get it replaced to at least finish the championship.

 

[Nicksfix]

I just remembered that Magny Cours also has the possibility of the 'lap glitch'.

I am unaware of a glitch at Magny Cours , of course I think we were all unaware of a glitch at Silverstone as well , and it hit us.

THOUGHT , we are all aware that the F1CE servers are going offline on on 5/12/09 , right ?

What are the chances that the server maintenanance is down right now as we speak ( due to going offline ) , hence causing the " unknown glitch " at Silverstone , and possibly more to come , is this at all possible ? Strange incident occured to me at last nights practice at Montreal before the race , the game lagged out on me , which caused the Duck to rear me twice on practice runs , very un-Duck like for him to do that , and I generally have a great connection ( hard wired , no wireless ) , I thought it was strange , it may have been something on my end , not 100 % sure , but it made me wonder about the server issue. Any ideas ? could servers be acting up ?

I do what I can for the team.

I never saw you, haha. I always look ahead on that corner, spotting my turn in, and next thing it was an explosion of parts. Was actually a pretty intense wreck.

Happened to me on Saturday, otherwise I would'nt have said anything. :/

I've had a lot of 'interesting stuff happen lately: Races automatically finishing themselves after one lap, lag that has lasted the entire race (the game looks cool in slow motion, but two-minute+ lap times..), frozen rooms after the race ends (moreso than usual), etc. Perhaps you're on to something there, Nicksfix.. all I know is something's not right.

Sounds likely though I hope you're wrong, if you're right and the problems increase, we will sadly have to call an end to the championship early or attempt to rush the final few races, it depends on how bad the glitches and issues get.

 

[Kakundoo]

Yeah I noticed a slight lag issue lately, every so often, there is a lap where it halts and adds a second on your time.

Been having gear sticking issues for a few weeks. The RPMs also stick at some low revs. I think its the G25 shifter. What wheel is everyone else using that is experiencing these sticking issues? You have to come to a complete stop which normally clears it up.

 

[Nicksfix]

Well I am glad to hear that I am not the only one seeing this glitch thing randomely coming and going at tracks that are not known for it , lets just pursue it and see what happens. I have to agree with Ardius , if the glitch thing gets out of control , unfortunately , we may have to pull the plug on the season , as it will only cause more problems than we need.

Lets keep an eye open guys , THANKS

 

[Sumpington]

we may have to pull the plug on the season ,

 

[FastDuck]

ive had issues with getting stuck in different gears mainly under hard down shifting like you said i have to come to a complete stop thats why Z got away from me

 

[Biggles]

I have occasionally encountered a problem with gears skipping a gear eg. going from 4th to 6th (using G25). I always assumed that this was a random "equipment malfunction" programmed within the game.
