That would probably reduce performance! Fullproc means it only uses ONE core, but uses it fully. Leaving your other 3 cores unused, at least for the game.. :)

They said rFactor 2 will use more cores properly though, so you've planned ahead..

Yeah, well I run in a league. I have noticed that for me, doing that set affinity doesn't help much. But yes, I did buy a quad-core processor in my new PC for rFactor 2.
 
Any news on that? I've seen release dates of Q4 2009, I presume that isn't happening, any news? I couldn't find much.
 
I'm thinking-a hotlap competition?

Someone could start a website (me probably), different classes of cars.

We will definitely have a focus track on a weekly or fortnightly basis, but you could submit a time whenever you wanted.

Yes/No/Maybe?
 
Any suggestions on how to set up the website?

Does anyone know enough html/css crap to format something nice?

And I will make a gmail account for the purposes of emailing your time and replay, just to make sure it's legal.

And I think if I can get a host with enough hard drive space, that setups will be postable, too.
 
I would be up for that! :D

I'm not really a pro on setting up websites... But I did start one up on webs.com and freeforums.org, simple and easy to use.
 
Maybe a forum could work...

EDIT:

I have decided a forum is the best way to do this. The board is located at gtphotlaps[dot]freesmfhosting[dot]com

If anyone has some kind of solution to host replays/setups, please let me know.

Moderators will be required, pm a resume.

If this works out well, do you think it will evolve into competitions where people can race against each other on some of the well known PC racesims? :)

Speaking of competitions one of the more well know races in the sim-racing community will take place this Saturday with the 12th running of the Bullrun 1000 hosted by TheUSPits. They'll be racing on a track that was converted from the Papyrus NASCAR 2003 race sim using a modified version of the NAGT carset.

2008 Bullrun 1000 Highlights


For this years race, they've given the track a rather different environmental setting - after snowy weather moved through the area where the track is located(a fictional town in Colorado).

The race will be webcast via PSR TV beginning Saturday afternoon at 1:00 pm EST (1800 GMT).

:cheers: Waggles, signed up.

I've got quite a few setups that can be used... Mostly V8Factor and FVRV8_09 though, a few for Endurance series also. Replay wise, heaps.... :lol:

I guess so, but I would have to draft in others. Basically, you would run your own series.

Please note however that I am still looking for a long-term free hosting solution, if you know any good ones, please feel free to shoot a pm.
 
My problems with that damn BMW have been solved by changing to a Leon TFSI (or is it TSFI?). I can actually be competitive now! Rockingham on Sunday, quite enjoying it, I love that fast double/triple left hander in Sector 2, just before the hard right in the middle of the circuit.
 
I have officially switched to a better host-no ads, more hard drive space, and you can attach setups to your post :)

If you wouldn't mind, please migrate to the new board at gtphotlaps[dot]tk

Thanks guys-and the first fortnightly competition is now up-you'll enjoy it.

I fear that if the current host continues to fail me in regards to their service, I may have to switch again :(

For the moment, use the http://gtphotlaps.freesmfhosting.com/index.php

Yeah, I noticed it has been unavailable for a few days now. :( Really need to have another go at that combo.... It's just so hard to nail a lap, well hard to even get it around the track! Haha :lol:

I saw cpp214 on the Lobby chat yesterday too, that was pretty cool. :D
 
I have just been notified by the old host that free hosting is no longer available :(

However, I have a replacement, all set up for you guys. Hopefully this host will work properly.

The new site is gtphotlaps[dot]co[dot]cc

That's no good.

Lets hope this one is the one then aye?
 
With that GTP Hot Laps board, I run rFactor 1.250 so I can play with a friend of mine who refuses to upgrade is. As a result, I don't plan on upgrading to 1.255, can I still run the hotlaps with you all?
 
Is there anyway to fix the force feedback of this game? I got the trial version and with FF active, if the wheel is not exactly centered it keeps either pushing to the left or to the right all the time, which is very annoying.

I have been testing my wheel with different sims since I got it last week. So far I've tried it with GTR 2, rFactor, Race 07 Demo, Race On Demo, STCC Demo, GTR Evolution Demo and Grid. GTR 2 has the best FF in my opinion, but the only game I'm having a problem with it is rFactor.

Also, I got the simraceway.com software but didn't use it yet. Do you guys use that program to get the rFactor mods?

I'm not sure, but try reversing the Force Feedback under the control settings.
I think it starts out with positive force feedback by default, but you have to adjust the slider to the left and make the force feedback negative.
Not really sure why they did it that way, but that's what I did.

Also, you can download the RealFeel plugin from rfactorcentral http://rfactorcentral.com/detail.cfm?ID=Real%20Feel%20FFB%20Plugin or other places as well.
It's a plugin designed to improve the overall forcefeedback with the G25--but it works for other wheels as well.

When you have that plugin, when you go out on the track to practice, you can really adjust the FFB so it's just how you like it. You just use the Ctrl key + the numberpad keys to make the adjustments. From time to time, I will get in a car, and the forcefeedback will feel just as you described above--it will pull to the left or right if not centered. With the RealFeel plugin, you can fix this immediately by hitting Ctrl + 8 on the numberpad, and it will reverse the FFB forces for you 👍 It's a really great tool to have.

And I do use use simraceway.com to download mods. The one-click install they have is pretty handy, although occasionally, I have had to manually install some mods anyway, because they wouldn't install properly. And there are some really good mods that they don't have, but for those, you can just go to rfactorcentral as Sharky pointed out, or just search for them and you will usually be able to find them somewhere.

EDIT: If you download the RealFeel plugin, you may want to plug a pair of headphones into your PC, because when you're out on track and you make the adjustments, it doesn't show up on your screen. There is a computerized voice that repeats the changes you have made. I guess you could probably hear it if you really crank the sound up, but I live in an apartment, and I don't want my neighbors to kill me :P

So I just put my headphones on for a second if I'm making adjustments. Of course, you can also feel the effects of the adjustments when you are driving. Sometimes I just drive really slowly around the track while I am making adjustments so I can feel them.
The great thing about RealFeel is that once you have the adjustments to your liking for a particular car, it automatically saves them in your profile 👍

Something totally bizarre. rFactor doesn't respond to the following keys correctly: [ ' = :confused:

These keys all come up as being "-EMPTY-" when I assign a function to them. Furthermore, ' and = don't work in the chat box(es), while [ maps to ] and ] maps to | - that is, the two square bracket buttons have been shifted right one keyboard button. Assigning ] to a function lists it as LF_BRKT, which is [, and using | comes up as RT_BRKT, which is ] :confused:

It is possibly a problem with the Windows keyboard layout? I'll go check if they work correctly under Vista (dual-boot), but I don't think they will... (edit: no, they didn't. Not even setting my keyboard to US helped)


Any ideas?

They'll be dedicated to commands or something.

Otherwise, it's your keyboard.

I'd like to make a button box, preferably as cheaply as possible-does anyone have an old gamepad that I could use? It has to be USB, though.

Just reminding everyone that there is ONE WEEK remaining of the PCC07 Nordschleife challenge, on gtphotlaps.co.cc
