Don't double post.




I'll be getting GT5 as soon as I can. It may not be on release, but wither way ,i'll still very much stick with this game. I'm sure all of us will, because this is a game that'll put up a fight with the fun factor, won't it? I don't think we'll hear anyone saying "can't make tonight, GT5's just too much fun!!!"
 
Ya i dont know why I double posted lol

SO GT5 as a prize is NOT something you would be interested in?

Hay Crash, you want ta trade????? I really like the Force India. I'm the Mercedes :(

I'll even throw in my every day driver, It came with the contract :lol:

Haha, that's a nice ride bro, but I must decline the downright crazy offer. The FORCE is with me. But, if the idea of teams is implemented, maybe we could work together and be the Force India Constructor since you like them so much? (Although I wouldn't mind being a part of a team named after a reject team or a lol team for a modern one, Fondmetal Team Malaysia comes to mind)

(Only if this was your ride

Errm, the date and time we had the race last week was good, although the phone rang TWICE while the race was going. Fuel Sim and Teams are a yes for me.

And I never got the videos uploaded because Blip.TV upload system wasn't liking what I was doing. I'll try it tonight after I finish some school work. Although the races were AWESOME for the Quality of the Capture.
 
WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW So I turn Tyre Sim off and im in 1st place by lap 3!!!!!!!! just wow lol And on lap 5 im 8secs ahead lol What a broken game lol This is on legend difficulty!!!
 
I don't think we should have any prizes in this championship. It should be all for fun and fun for all. Also, Crashbroke, don't take the Mercedes CLR, unless you want to fly...
 
I think I'm going to run a separate prize race then.

OMG!!!!!!! I WISH I WAS CAPTURING THAT!!!!! I have ZERO penalties or ANYTHING. Im running 1st, i go into pits to fix wing because im bored and had 30sec lead. 2 manage to get past me while im exiting. Then 1 more passes me case I spin for some weird reason. IM IN FORTH, CROSS THE FINISH LINE IN 4TH!!!!!! AND IT TELLS ME I GOT 11TH!!!!!! HAHAHAHAH OMG!!!! I am completely done with career WOW

So can I increase the difficulty mid-career or do I have to start fresh in Legend? Tempted.
 
Wow, your pretty much against all my ideas? Can you explain your reasonings?
 
You will be added to reserve list Hamilton. The spaces have been filled up. I will add your PSN and if there is a no-show within 10 mins of race, you will be added.
 
You have been added to reserve. You will most likely be added. Unfortunately Peter does not own the game, He may have to be put in reserve list. In my opinion that's the fair thing to do.


Is everyone ok with race being on the 10th around 1pm again?

So does anyone know why I had 90% power loss on lap 19 last race and after my last pit stop what could have caused my complete lack of acceleration, what setting could have caused that?

I would be if I knew I was racing, not trying to be difficult but if I get up at 4:30 am to wait for someone to pull out and then hopefully get a last minute invite...

To be fair I was in the original lineup and now I'm waiting for someone to drop out because I lost power to my house for 12 hours and couldn't take part. Just saying.
 
If that's 6pm GMT like last week then perfect for me grafpt.
P.S. Please can my flag be changed, i'm not Irish.
 
Actually, if I could just offer an opinion here, i think team racing could work!

This way, all the reserves and some other fortunate few could join in on the action as well. We could have back to back or simultanious race sundays. Basically, unless there are two guys who really want to be together, or on the same team etc, everyone who has chosen already gets a random team mate assigned from the next 12 to be confirmed!?

It would be really interesting this way. Obviously the quickest guys would still be winning races, but the constructors would factor in there too!


TEAM RACING FOR THE WIN!!! Make it so grafpt :D

The team idea COULD MAYBE work, IF another 12 people join, and those 12 people not be guaranteed to race and were ok with it -_-. Until then no. This is how racing events get all hey wire, because people just constantly throw out ideas, and nothing gets settled.

After running a test last night with Torc and crash, my conclusion is that the online play is broken when it comes to tires. Even when tire sim is off, you still get wear and feel your tires going out. We also ran one with is ON and why they chose to make tire wear = to how long the race is, is beyond me. So you run a 100% race option tires will prob last 17 laps or so? But you run a 3 lap race, tires LITERALLY wear during first lap.

Drumc0de- We will have a 24 hr confirmation before race. Yes you were in original series, but this is a complete refresh and as far as original one goes, you were a no show without a word of warning, nor did you add me on PSN.

DemonBlade- what flag do you want?

Grafpt - Union Jack please (same as Captain Roh and Jerry786)
Cheers

Did you get any punctures in last nights test? I want to do a couple of simulations before Sundays race so would useful to know if the rules are still as they are detailed in the OP.

Yup, with the pit bug fully active except when you change the pit lap, If I went in a lap before, the primes would go out on the LAST LAP! and if I went in a lap later, the options would go out that very next lap lol 30% is a very very very broken race length. I still really wish I had video of that ast one, I was forth crossing the finish line and it tells me im 11th lol I freaked.

I experienced something similar, but then found that 'braking assist' was turned on. :dopey:

Perhaps that was your issue?
 
^ Im thinking that might be why, I had that one once to see what it did...I don't know how anyone could drive with that on lol^
 
The power loss issue must be related to how you run your engine through the race. I had the same power loss issue in Sundays race but only about 100 yards from the line on my last lap. If you redline constantly fuel consumption is going to be increased and I think this may be one aspect of the game they have implemented quite well. Also consider the fuel map option when tuning. I'm sure it says something about the 'fast' engine setting which is again likely to have an impact on consumption. Will have a look at that tonight and let you know.

Just read the manual for the game and can't be bothered typing it all out, but read the 'Race Settings' section towards the back. Says some interesting things about fuel consumption and also how enabling tyre simulation allows punctures (so surely disabling this will mean no punctures?)
I'm sure I've also seen in the game it states that you will never run out of fuel completely but once it gets to it's 'lowest level' it will severly effect car performance.
Try it in qualifying, stay out for about 5 or 6 laps and the car will start to act up, not revving properly and general loss of power.

Demonblade - Cut out the double posting. Use the edit button if you wish to add something to a previous post and no one else has posted in the meantime. Thanks.
 
Thanks for the response to my engine issue. It is just hart breaking, but what is even more disturbing in that race is that I pited at the end of the 19th lap limping in and while I was in the pits the leader crossed the FL and basicly the race w/ over but the little red squair poped up with the 3min left deal. As I left the pits trying to get around and finish the race the thing would never come out of the pit limiter even when I was well on the track and going again. It just kept acting like I was in the pits.... :(

It sounds like the tyre wear is proportionate to race distance thats all. Personally, i've only raced online a few times and with full sim settings. Yes my tyres went off but I was able to manage it to the end of the race.

You cant go flat out start to finish i'm afraid, F1 is as much about strategy as it is break neck speed! All it takes is a little concentration with the throttle. Use the force people!
