GTP WRS-Online Event 2 : FXXza Irresistibile! - February 5, 2014

[RacingOtaku86]

Okay, I know the official practices are today, but I almost forgot that my college grad is tonight, so I can't make it to the NA practice. BUT, I notice the UK practice is in a few hours, and since I'm not racing in the UK time slot, can I come to that practice regardless?

Yes, for sure. Everyone is welcome to all practice slots even if they can't make any race. 👍

Signed up for EU, not expecting much from this race. A finish would be great!

Great. Hope to see some of you then. Also, will there be a post about the room number?

Hey is see you have DFGT if you want to, what are your options for the wheel?

Yeh whoever hosts it will post the room number.

What do you mean? I just put steering sensitivity on 2 and left everything else on default.

 

[WRP001]

The official TT results handicaps have been entered into the system so some drivers who outperformed their handicap have moved up in the registration tables.

Example: 65--1'41.047---EWeinbauer r=3.634 (d3/-0.763)

His event handicap was 0.763 lower than his registry handicap which moved him into D3 range (3.634) in the seeding for this event.

Note: If your TT lap was red flagged you don't get credit for your time and you fall back to your registry handicap.

Ok ty thats what i meant the force feedback i was just wondering what other people use

 

[Allibubba99]

Coming in!

Dang this combo is difficult. If this is your first WRS race just realize this is not typical. Please come to the event expecting some incident and mistakes and take them in stride. The car is a beast and bites you for the least little mistake.

 

[Siggers]

So I have performed all of the suggested steps (DMZ, opening ports) to improve my router but I am still getting "invisible drivers" with some people; the weird thing is some people who are invisible now were never invisible to me on GT5 and I could connect to them then without any problems. I have registered for tomorrow, but like last week if I just run the risk of causing incidents for others I won't compete and will just watch from the live stream.

It is. The practice race tonight showed that, with lots of off-track activity, especially in the first chicane on the first lap. The grid start didn't make it any less chaotic.

Got connection problems during the formation lap for the second race. After the first chicane I got rammed from behind by a car doing Mach I sideways, ended with the whole field bouncing around through the gravel trap. As I got back on track the field had pulled away but positions constantly changing. Got D/C:d before I caught up with the pack, and when trying to rejoin the room was full. Haven't had connection problems before, let's hope it doesn't happen tomorrow.

I just left the room, we ran about 5 races. I am glad I practiced running with others before tomorrow's race.

 

[GTP_DeathStar]

Some of those races made me feel like pylon. Getting ran over or shoved off to the side just to be ran over and put into a wall. I'm sure most of it has to do with the lot of us trying to ride the razors edge in the most traffic seen in the small amount of time driving this car going as fast as we are. Looking forward to practice tonight...if I can make it.

 

[pilmat]

Is there a room open?

Edit: found it, it's still the EU room.

 

[See23]

Stay off the grass!!!! two wheels out and it'll send ya for a loop!
That is one wide car (lousy lawnmower).

 

[LeftyWright69]

I wish there was a 3D3 room open

 

[skyline1683]

Wasn't happy with my TT result on this combo but I'm looking forward to the race as it's gonna be interesting to see over 8000bhp thundering down to the first chicane and what the result of that will be who knows.

 

[Eggstor]

Pilmat has one open - 1472-6118-3830-2746-3393 (yes, the EU room still lives).

Just started another race.

 

[pilmat]

Just left the room, there's still folks in there...

Ooooffff, this is going to be an "interesting" race tomorrow. I'll have to tape a note to my wheel as to when I can get off the SS, but although the RH a a good bit faster, they are quite different to drive. We'll just run this one for fun

Edit: autocorrect typos on my iPad

 

[Revoy]

Just a quick shot I thought was neat from practice earlier today.

Tried to replicate the tire choice bug real quick and didn't see it. Started on SS and Pitted and SS and RH were available. Did two more stops on the next laps and no issues. I didn't change any settings, just created the room and it worked.
