I won't be racing tonight, got to pick up the gf from work again at 9:30pm so you can all start without me. See you all next week at Indy.:)

The spa video is now done, hoping I caught most of the action. I'll get it uploaded tonight. :)
 
Took a nap , trying to recover from waking up early for f1 . Going to eat some dinner and then head online for a final 2 hrs of practice .
 
Sorry I wasted everyone's time tonight.

No problem, Its not your fault PD can't make this game work after so many years.


I hope we can try this next week again. I think we can try a other host. Who's internet is the best for host the race?
 
It's not your fault Erik. There are plenty of ways we can work around this.

I wish you good luck with that, I've worked so much to get this to work and it keeps slap my face. Somewhere I have to give up or I go mental.

It have been crappy ever since I installed the SSD drive, my system is very stable and super fast, but maybe it doesn't speak very well with the rest of you guys. I could try change back to the slow hard drive again.

But I doubt a hard drive have anything to do with it.

But everything I've tested so far doesn't work and when I hear people say they don't have to do the easy things to do in our op because they didn't have to before I just don't see why I should keep try to make it work.

When I think about it. It did happen when I entered the pit and the game was about to load up the screen where I can select tyres and amount of fuel.

(finding my screw driver and starts the process of changing back to the old drive.. )

And for the record, if we finished this race I would have been incompatible as a steward. It wasn't really dirty, but everyone around me have started to take advantage of me being careful to avoid accidents. I think I will have to go out a lot more overaggressive and just take the penalty I deserve ;) Sitting on second to last because I have some sort of racing conduct isn't fun for 1 hour.
 
not ur fault erik, these things just happen.. i might not be here for a month but i will update u guys on it when I'm leaving..
 
Yeh Erik definetely not your fault , these things happen .

See you all next week , it was looking to be a classic.

F1 tomorrow McLaren 1 2 I say :)

Thats exactly how I felt for ssr5 and spa. sorry for what I did. It was my mistake divebombing you and I wouldve taken the penalty. I got pushed off and I was already angry. It was an oops :dunce:
 
It always sucks when someone 'bad drives' you as I like to call it .

Passing is part of racing but there is a time and place for everything on track .

I thought Immortal was too aggressive at the start I was on the inside and he still tried to come on the inside I closed the door and he went on the grass still tried to pass and all of this was at the start of the race . The result could have been worse he hit me and I hit pro persian we all went wide , its a miracle how we still stayed in the top 3 .

Well none of that matters now , we will race this one over next week . Let's all try to keep it cleaner and respect our competitors as it should be .

Its F1 time now on tv

I hope we can try this next week again. I think we can try a other host. Who's internet is the best for host the race?

Just have to ask. Did my internet drop? did TeamSpeak go down or did I sign off PSN. No to all above. This has nothing to do with internet, but with something else. We could test different hosts for decades and have the same amount of progress PD have.

Whats the answer, I really don't know. But best internet to host, that actually put a smile on my face. Ignorance is bliss. Just to inform you, the same kind of connection I have is used to host game server for a lot of PC games. Guess if you only think about internet it's the perfect connection

But like I said it could have been that I mounted a SSD hard drive to my PS3, could be it messes up the ps3 because it doesn't like it or it could make it communicate with others in a pore way. Problems occurred after I mounted it and I already replaced it with the old one because even though I gave up on this I still want to make it work. I guess you can call me a addict. And the fact that I hate to lose since network is my kind of thing.

Or it could be that someone ignore our rules about doing the most of your internet by opening up ports to PSN in their router. When we were in the private lounge there was lots of problems with loading bars and I couldn't see a lot of people there. And when I hosted a fixed ownership room all those had problems getting in. Everyone I could see in the private lounge just joined and they where in. So it could be that the lobby couldn't figure out everything anymore and decided to close itself. I noticed Troylee already disconnected and he also had a hard time entering the room in the first place.

But this kind of rooms should be playable even for NAT3 users, so "fake" NAT2 users should be allowed in. And every time a random guy join he gets in. No one is getting kicked out without me doing so.
So I was thinking. Since you guys join my lobby through the Community tab and not through the open lobby lounge it might be that the game goes through the same things it does when joining a private lounge. So what if I posted the room number and everyone used that to join. It should be worth a try. If some people still have problems to join a fixed ownership room we all should actually focus on getting this fixed during the week.
I know it's not as facilitated as just press the yellow icon. But seeing people getting auto booted from this kind of room tells me something is wrong

Ok from now on whenever im racing I offer myself as a host.
Worked for spa so I have no reason to believe it worn't work elsewhere.
Good you have the believe man, it seemed to work for the first 5 times I hosted as well and when you host the ping was pretty unstable, could you at least add a cable next time? I have a cable because I don't want to be interfered with any other radio signals in my home. If I'm going to play online I would hate to be interfered of your radio signals.
It really felt like I was on wireless, and I don't like that.

Actually you heard Netherdragon said it. It's a lot of sorry people on track today. And almost every time I heard a sorry I was hit by someone. So you might understand my irritation. And your dive wasn't really a divebombing, I gave you a pretty narrow area there. But you went for a gap that didn't exist and since I was a bit angry already for being taking advantage of for making sure everyone around me can do what ever they feel like I might have slammed the door. No replay so nothing to discuss, I just stated my unhappiness about it.
It all started into first corner when a blue NSX thought he had un natrual brakes and decided that the standard braking point would be good enough hit me so hard I bounced into Skengdigi and left me with a damaged car I had to take into the Mercedes area on cold tyres losing valuable chance of attacking or defending anything. Also more people went for gaps they had no chance to complete and it only held me up because they made me go sideways instead of racing.

So my "thank you" to you might not been called for, but I guess you felt a bit guilty as you replied to it.

Just to inform everyone who might feel a bit guilty. Race is to be raced again and we all have a chance to improve. Both on speed and cleanness. And one more thing. Ports forwarding. I offer to help anyone asking for it, but I need to know what kind of router your on. Google would be my way of figuring that out so it would be accessible for anyone. Also the owner, but I still can guide you through it.

I'm actually running off cable, cant even get enough wireless signal stable enough to stay connected online in my room, let alone host off that...

I could run through some settings on my router to see if there is anything I've missed that may be causing lag for others. Didn't seem particularly bad on my end when I hosted, but that being said that could have been as I was the host.
 
We are getting close to Easter and the 7th of April is Easter Saturday I would like to propose that we skip racing this day.
No matter what we decide I'm going to skip it no matter what. I spent all my Saturdays with you guys and this weekend I'm going to spend with family.
