It's signing in just fine for me but I'm getting stuck on "connecting to PS3"
Never had this problem before.
Any suggestions?

I'm going to try rebooting the PS3.

Edit: rebooting the PS3 worked, the grinder is grinding once more. Fantastic.

Interesting find Yonis. I'd love to play El Capitan again, but in HD!

While the HD is great but to someone who hated the GT5 driving physics and FFB and love the ones in GT5, being able to drive on track like the El Capitan or my all time fave, Apricot Hill will be like a cherry on an already scrumptious cake.
 
Hey guys. I am getting the starting race to race ended loop and no races are starting. I have 1 of 6 drivers in use using the USA server. Any ideas?

Exit the Remote Race mode on your PS3 and then enter it again, making sure you're still signed into PSN. If that doesn't work, right-click the Widget, select Widget Preferences > Advanced, and reduce the number of concurrent threads and/or increase the driver reservation delay.

Thanks Yonis, that worked!
 
I have been adding several new friends to widget race, but for some reason the widget isn't updating my friend list so I can't add the new folks to the rotation. How long does it usually take for it to updating new friends?

PS. Love the widget, btw. TY! ;)

Go to the GT.com site and log off, then log back in. If you can see your new friends there, the widget will also see them to use.
 
I just have a question about the highlighted portion around the race progress bar.

I would guess that the darker blue might have something to do with how close I am to getting a B-Spec level up, but I have no idea what the lighter blue could be. The individual driver's experience?

Any clarification on this would be much appreciated.

Ah, so it is PSN and the Gran Turismo sites that are dragging their butts in updating my friend lists then! Thanks Jafo! :)

The ring represents your progress on your way to the next B-spec level. The brighter section on the left represents the amount of experience you have saved on your console, and the dimmer portion represents how much experience has been earned by your B-Spec drivers. When the bar is filled up by the dimmer portion, it means that you will level up the next time you receive rewards from your drivers.
 
got a ? about picking the race ID

this is what it says in post 1:
"Adds a hidden setting which lets you pick which race ID you want to use.

Put preferences.preferredRace.value = id; in the debug window, where id is the ID of the race you want to run.
Here is a list of race IDs.
Race IDs can be found in the source of the Remote Race page where you're selecting an event.
To clear the setting, use preferences.preferredRace.value = 0; in the debug window."

So since there is no debug window anymore I have to enable logging and put the preferences.preferredRace.value = id (5569 for US leman right?) in there?
 
Back on the widget as well with 6/6 shared. PS3 rebooted, cache flushed, everything seems A-OK so far. Hopefully folks repopulate since they all come up "..." for me right now.
 
Hey guys just got the widget up n running again, UK server set to Le Sarthe and has been running all good with no problems. Dam this is a good widget lol!
 
Installed and already running. 👍 I didn't like how it started before I could select the drivers to always use, maybe I set the preference in the wrong order. I have it set now. Kudos 👍 The interface is very professional and provides all information in a small meter. You've outdone yourself. :bowdown:
 
I only recieved that temporary error once, it appeared as though it timed out. I been auto-grinding since I restarted the widget and cleared my cache. 👍
 
can anyone telll me why when I have 3 friends, each with 6 drivers who are not been raced does the widget pick just one of my friends and race his 6 drivers only, ignoring the other friends and their drivers? My settings are to always race the 3 friends and concurrent threads set to 4 anddriver delay set to 0. It does not always happen by when it does it is very annoying since the race could be full up earning everyone concerned more money and xp points.
On checking the log it says........

Server refused to reserve dodgydave1970's driver even though it said it was free.
Server refused to reserve A_Major_Rash's driver even though it said it was free.

Any thoughts anyone???

Still a great widget though:tup:

Set the delay to like 10 or 15, it will give the server time to react.
I've had the same problem, and setting the delay seemed to fix it.

Kind of a odd error I just got. Reloaded the widget and it seams to be running fine now.

Hi Yonis,
I am having an issue where one of my friends is not having any of their drivers included in the race. I have them listed as "always use" under manage drivers tab and next to their name it simply comes up with a "?" where there should be a "6" for the number of that players drivers...? :nervous: Any help would be appreciated as I owe this person quite a few races in return for running my Bobs. :)

The "?" means that when the Widget tried to get a list of their drivers, the server said you guys aren't friends. The full error is below:
You cannot view the My Home pages of players who are not your friends.
If you wish to view this player's My Home page, you'll need to send them a friend request from your PlayStation®3 system. Once they have accepted your request, you will be able to sign in here again and view their My Home page.

If you are still seeing this screen despite you and the other person both having agreed to a friend request, it is possible that the other person has not logged on to Gran Turismo 5's online services since agreeing to the request.
You will be able to visit the other person's My Home page a short while after they next log on to Gran Turismo 5's online services.

You can verify this by trying to view their profile on gran-turismo.com after signing in there.

Thank-you for your quick response. I will give it a go. Cheers. 👍
Also, thank-you! This widget is amazing, it's so easy! :)
