Sure thing.

I really wish I had a capture card and a good PC, but my Sony Bloggie will record in 720 HD. I can get videos to come out better quality if I turn off all the lights and crank the volume on the TV. Unfortunately I didn't do either of those for the first videos, but will do that tonight when I record a few more.

Hey you guys!!!

Check out this topic started by Turbo over at the Official FMSC Website. It a good chance for everyone to chime in with their suggestions about how to improve the series for Season 3. Wardez and I have already contributed some pretty good ideas and it would be nice to have some feedback from everyone.

Thanks in advance!!!!

So I finally signed up for the site, and for some reason, it messed a bunch of stuff, and ontop of it using my real name as my user name (steve), all of my location and birthday settings, etc. were messed up.

weird...

 

[CodeRedR51]

Yeah the site is a bit weird sometimes. It's actually been working a lot better lately.

 

[lapierre4]

I will be running the last race in the GT Class if it's possible, which I'm really looking forward to!

Hey guys, check this out. We made the front page of the FM website again!

The GT points difference is wrong, will have to have Keith fix that.

[Wardez]

That's awesome!

Really legit. press there 👍

Also, to run it by you again. I made an IRC room for the series. Can we please make it mandatory to be in it before the race? It can be joined in a web browser pretty easily, and can be passworded.

 

[BlackIce90]

GT-R series anyone? Wish I had one in real life. If I had one, I would sell GT5 because I would get all the racing my little heart desires from that one car.

Guy in the video are extremely lucky nobody pulled out in front of them.

What exactly is IRC, how do I get to it, and will it lag down the connection?

 

[SAMHAIN85]

IRC is a chat program, internet relay chat. Used to use it all the time when I played CS a lot to look for scrims. It hardly takes up any resources so I doubt you will lag from it.

I used to use mIRC to download ridiculous amounts of terrible music all for the bargain price of free.99. 👍

 

[CodeRedR51]

Got another video uploaded to the site. Better quality this time, although it's a bit dark. I have another one, but for some reason YouTube won't give me the embed code yet...

 

[SAMHAIN85]

^^

 

[CodeRedR51]

Damn you I wanted them to go to the website!

 

[Wardez]

and hey RT, you know I have an HD capture box right? (HD PVR)

What are you trying to record and upload? Let me know if there's a specific race or moment you want recorded and I can record and upload.

I know. I don't have a specific list, just posting things I remember that happened recently. I'd like to get some 1-2 lap battles for the lead up if I could remember them.

Edit: Is there anyone left in here that ran the B-Room race at Grand Valley East Reverse that still has the replay?

 

[Schadenfreude13]

Hey Turbo, have the points/standings been updated yet? I just noticed I wasn't on the spec class table...

Fixed. I have to manually enter your name on the totals sheet after I input the race results, or you won't show up. Guess I forgot to do that. Should be correct now.

No worries. Thanks!

 

[CodeRedR51]

Think I'm going to make this weekends race a little more interesting by offering a prize to the driver that wins the race, but hasn't won a race so far this season. Spice it up a bit.

Edit: DONE.

@RT- if you're looking for a great site to link your series to for exposure and what-not, try gt5racecentral.com. they let you link your series there as well as linking your points and registration. with the new site isn't that overkill though?

 

[CodeRedR51]

with the new site isn't that overkill though?

Considering my plans, I don't think so. It's easy to set up and maintain, no big deal.

 

[Wardez]

Heed my good word; come up with a generic wide use pitch in the form of a paragraph describing the series, how to sign up and the link and post it in every single link I place here.

Every site I link to should give us a warm welcome. Especially Race Department and InsideSimRacing. Each link links to the part of the website or forum that's most appropriate to post a thread inviting people to join.

iRacing just opened up a racing league mini-site but you need to have a league in iRacing in order to get on the list. That would give us TONS of exposure. A lot of my buddies on the iR forums do play GT5 on occasion so no they won't be snobs about it. I can run a casual mini-FMSC league in iRacing on the side to get us a ticket onto the list.

But anyway, posting in the following links might even make FMSC too popular. There's no telling exactly what sort of reaction will get but if it's anything like what I hope then we're in for a flood.

and if you don't feel like making accounts on every site just let me know. I have accounts on most of them. 👍

The only site on your list that I am registered at is Miata.net. I'm also registered at Club Roadster which might be another good one. They had a Forza series that slowly died off, so not sure how well we will do over there.

FYI, made a color change to both my cars:

outlaw4rc (outlaw4rc) - '89 - Starmist Blue / Starmist Crimson
