Do i need to change cars

Please stick with your Renault for this round Lancer - I'll think about it further after this round.


@Napalm_LT @AndreasR @rj5992 and @RagingBullLC are due to switch from the Opel to the Mercedes this round.

@IfAndOr @richroo @WiSchmo and Don Mejillone are due to switch from the Mercedes to the Opel this round.

Other drivers remain in their original cars.

I don't know if anyone else watched the final round of the BTCC on Sunday - if not, I won't spoil it by mentioning the result - I'll just say it was very exciting so well worth watching on the ITV Player or a highlights programme!

Pit stop and weather conditions for today's race?

Yay! Qualified 5th. Didn't survive the race, though. I'm not sure what happened. It seemed like somebody drove into me and then their car was perpendicular to mine and then we were both off the track.

P5 lost, a couple turns taken with the wrong speed and I'm at the back of the pack real quick.

Great battle with @John Wells and @Sick Cylinder!

@Sick Cylinder I punted you again lol So, sorry! I don't know what's going on here. I was (and always am) trying very hard not to do that

PS: I couldn't save the replay. PC2 would tell me that the size of the save was over 1GB and that's it was larger than it could deal with. Anybody saved it and can share it with me? I'd like to see what happened right after the start and how I ended up off the track.

 

[John Wells]

Great race ILIV, Sick, Rich

hit you on the first lap. Sorry Harsk, crashed in to you at Copse.

 

[IfAndOr]

That'll be the reason I bunted you at the chicane @richroo, I didn't quite have all my wheels on the ground.

You were generally a bit quicker than me even with all your misfortune so I thought you deserved your position back at the end. 👍

I couldn't save the replay.

You need to delete a few of your older replays to create some space. The save file limitations are a bit of a pain.


@Sick Cylinder - is there any chance I could swap to a BMW? The Opel is good but it doesn't feel too much different to the Merc. The Beemer is a little slower but is great fun to throw around. We could do with a few more RWDs on the grid and I'm really not in contention for a championship win!

I see. Thanks for letting me know.

I take it the save video file can be shared as well? I'd appreciate it if someone uploaded it to a shared DropBox folder.

 

[IfAndOr]

I take it the save video file can be shared as well?

Sort of, it's not quite straightforward. It's not a video file as such but data files that need to be loaded into PC2. If I get a chance I'll have a go this evening. (I think I saved it!)

As for hard drive space. Games are allowed 1gb of save data space on your hard drive. Each of Sick's 30 minute races takes over 200mb so combined with any pictures or set up data you may have you can only save about 4 replays!

 

[ILIV]

That sucks! I wasn't aware of that limit at all. If the original save file is not shareable, a YouTube upload would work as well. Thanks for helping @IfAndOr!

@ILIV For the replay follow these...

Spoiler: Instructions

Click on THIS to download the 2 files needed for the replay.

Then create a directory on a usb memory stick called

PS4\SAVEDATA\1200493d4af96728\CUSA04093

and place the downloaded files in there. Stick the stick into your PS4 and go to

settings / application saved data management / saved data on usb storage / copy to system storage /

and select the Pcars file on the memory stick.

This should copy it onto your PS4. You might need to delete some of your old replays first but since it's an external replay you might not. In theory you should now be able to play it within PC2.

The link expires in 1 weeks time. Good luck!

(I'm not sure if the 1200493d4af96728\CUSA04093 directories are required. Perhaps try it without first.)

I knew the two place penalty was gonna get me , don't even know how i got it . If that was the only incident i had more .think i passed you twice . good fun tho cheers

Unfortunately, PS4 couldn't recognize these files. Said there were no saved data on the USB stick.

Oh dear. I might take another look at the process later.

 

[rj5992]

Oh dear. I might take another look at the process later.

It might be the formatting on the memory stick...if I remember correctly the PS4 likes it to be FAT32 formatted.

 

[ILIV]

It is formatted correctly and the USB stick itself is recognized by PS4. I had successfully exported GTS screenshots before using this same stick. It just doesn't see the PC2 replay files.

Finally got MotoGP19, very good, sounds, tracks, bikes, photos Red Bull Rockies.

[John Wells]

Have look a this, great for PS4.

Looks great graphically. As a Londoner I really want to know if they're going to add DLC of random protestors coming up and gluing themselves to your train, just for that extra authenticity

Yes Paddington station, looks really great, so should be good to play.

 

[IfAndOr]

Yes Paddington station, looks really great

It is quite detailed. Here's a picture I merged from a few shots I took.

Had the game for about a year now.

 

[Sick Cylinder]

Guys - I won't be able to race this evening (Monday) due to an unusual problem (jammed / broken front door lock). I have asked @IfAndOr if he can Host - if not, then perhaps @John Wells can help.

Hope the meeting goes well!

 

[IfAndOr]

I have asked IfAndOr if he can Host

I'll probably be able to fill in. 👍
Guys, if I miss out any invites please give me a nudge on PSN, or send out any for me.

Thunder, blizzards and thick fog then.

 

[John Wells]

Thanks Paul, is it whats like to play, know theirs some BR Blue, engines that sound really good.
Went Paddington, a few times, to see 50s and HST lots smoke on start up.

 

[rj5992]

Thunder, blizzards and thick fog then.

At night

 

[IfAndOr]

At night

Don't want to make it too tricky. I might come up with a non damp setting tonight.

I am in control of the weather for both days at Oulton though!

whats like to play,

Not bad at all, if you like trains that is.
It can be quite complex to control if you want it to be - with all the safety systems activated etc. There are a few bugs and glitches but overall it's a decent experience. Especially on console, there's nothing else like it. Quite a good buy at the moment since you get 6 routes with the base game for £25 - which is the normal price of one add-on route!

 

[WiSchmo]

Hey guys, I won't be able to make it tonight

See you on Wednesday!

 

[AndreasR]

Results Silverstone Round 6 BTCC

Greetz Don and congrats to the podium !
