GTP WRS-Online (*GT6*): Event 118 : X-Bow Down Under - December 11

[gtpcaine]

Bah, I'm in for a long evening! Best so far is an '18! As seems common, its that downhill section that costs me. Usually the very first part as you go over the crest, I would say 4/5 laps I drop it over that

This will be fun if I can adjust to the over steer nature of the car when under hard braking. I think I have a fix for it but it's still in the research stage. I would think that we can't degrade the front tires to S2z so my choices are less. I didn't even know that when I stumbled into the lobby last night it was practice for our first organized event.

I'm thinking that my alter ego representation of my moniker will be updated to reflect a more WRS friendly representation of who I am

Has there been a determination on how our online persona can be correctly represented or is it that we have to re-figure out who in the H. E. double hockey sticks were racing with? I at least am familiar w/ the GTP_???? method. I still have two bullets left and I would like to get closer after I figure out how to unscrew my fun name

 

[Gravitron]

It can be whatever you like, Lefty, as long as it's not as questionable as your current name.

See my post here.

In the lobby, you can click the icon for member list and in there, you can see both in-game name and PSN id.

It was a bad play on words. Car is from Austria, track in Australia, and people commonly confuse the two, at least in 'Murica.

I realized that might be the case after I posted of course. Yes, the murkuns do get it wrong, they also seem to think I have a British accent.

Couldn't find any of the practice rooms when I went online last night so my guess is that my race is going to consist of (1) qualifying last (2) hitting the wall and spinning out somewhere on the downhill (3) desperately trying to keep from getting lapped before the finish.

Is there some better way to find the room other than show 'Friends Only'. That doesn't seem to work very well?

 

[Speedy6543]

Mostly for practice we will open an open lobby and post the room number here.
We need to do these open lobby practices untill that community tab opens up again.

I had to switch to reserve for the EU race because school is ending later than usual today.

You know what would be the most simple, but the most useful thing.

If you could make it "Entry by Room ID only". The only way you get in is via the ID manual entry thing. That way we could just post it in here and bam, people can join...but no matter I'll have the room open an hour before racing.

Also @Strop We are doing 3 short, 7 lapper sprint races for today's event, so unless something goes horribly wrong, you shouldn't get lapped

 

[Dano20]

I will be hosting both the EU race and the NA race for tomorrow. If anyone signed up does not have me as a friend, please send a request to me (GTP_oink) and I will accept it before the lobby opens tomorrow.

Sent you a fr oink

 

[oink83]

Sent you a fr oink

Lol you were already on my friends list? Anyway I accepted it. You might need to restart your game sometimes it doesn't show friends you have added whilst on the game.

The lobby is now open by the way. You can find it by selecting "friends only" in the lobby selection screen.

 

[Dano20]

It won't let me join it says room full even though there is only 5 of you.How weird

Hmm strange. You tried restarting the game?

Doing that now
Still doesn't work it also doesn't have any connections bars by the side that are lighted up

That is pretty odd, since there or 5 others in here. Frank just left and rejoined too no problem. You tried signing in/out of PSN?

 

[Dano20]

Will try that now
EDIT:still says the same thing gonna try an internet connection test now

 

[oink83]

If not I can try and remake the room I guess.

 

[Dano20]

If UPnP is not available does it matter cause it says that it is not available

Shouldn't matter hugely, what is your nat type?

 

[Dano20]

2 and it still says room full and I still don't have a connection bar

 

[oink83]

I really have no idea then. Paul also just joined with no problem so I can't understand what the problem is.

 

[Dano20]

Guess I can't race tonight then.
Ah well there is always next time

 

[Speedy6543]

Sorry to hear about your issues Dano. I have no clue what you could possibly try more than what you've done already to make it work.

Livestream is up! Will go full screen close to quali.

I have to make a speed run to finish the A license from the beginning because I forgot to level up the GTP account last night. Wish me luck.

Oh that is pretty unfortunate. Go Doodle you can do it!

Well we have 3 shorter races today, so if you finish and its past the hour, you can join in and start from the back of the next race

 

[Doodle]

Alright. Thanks.

 

[oink83]

OK we are starting for EU Quali now.

 

[Doodle]

One more race and the A licenses and then I can start
