Great idea about passing the hosting around everyone...đź‘Ť

I have set up a Q&A thread here to see if anyone can shed some light on what was going on last night. I am confused about the whole host/internet connection thing???? :ill:



I have also set up a social group here..called fun racers... .....join up...only members can access the discussion board....hopefully membership can grow and we can build up a good sized group of people to regularly race with. We can use space this to chat as well as the public forums if we want.

I loved running with you all as you all are top notch opponents! I personally had a great time running with you all
 
I read a post about server latency and somehow the lowest bandwidth played a factor into who shows up in the rooms...ill try to find it...
 
Top marks for last night guys.......that was the best racing i've ever had đź‘Ť

Count me in again for the 4WD challenge.
I really liked racing with you guys :D

I went on to race in the open lounge. What an anticlimax after having such fun with well behaving people. I much prefer racing amongst "friends", and have made a slot in my calendar every Monday night for the coming months ;-)
 
I already know what car I'm gonna pick when I'm to host an even :dopey:*GIGGLES AND SQUIRMS WITH ANTICIPATION*:P
 
Everyone swap PSNs then if we get a bit of 'lounge trouble' next week we can change lounges to see if that helps...though it did get better after the first race.

The other option is to set up a room in the open lobby...it might work better...I just post a room number and you join.. it would mean 'strangers' coming in to the room which could be a good or bad thing....might trial that idea on the Sunday to see how it works..

You mean like if someone has problems with the lounge, we can change to someone else´s?

Very nice, I still have my old 40gb, it's become quite cluttered. lol
 
Made a lot of money recently selling my Eye of Judgment cards (PS3 game.. look it up) and have recently bought with the proceeds...DFGT wheel...great...Wheelstandpro...brilliant...2nd PS3 (160GB...minor cock up...should have gone 320GB)...oh and a trip to Sheffield to watch a couple of sessions of the World Snooker World Finals first round with me mates....just had enough of having to delete stuff every time I wanted to install a new game...the old lady (40GB PS3) has lasted over 2 and a half years and I didn't want to suddenly have the YLOD...she is in the bedroom and long may she live..đź‘Ť

Aye, I've heard of EoJ. I'm surprised you were able to get all that from the proceeds of selling all of your EoJ cards....Starting to wish I had joined in when it was still new. lol

Welcome to the group mkel...I assure you that you are in the right place..on Sunday I am setting up a room in the open lobby to see if that works better than through the private lounge. The races will be 2 laps and the grid positions will be reversed for the next race to give everyone a chance. I will post the room number here around 830pm on Sunday.

On Monday the 10 lap race grid order is decided by a pre qualifying round. It's not anymore serious but the best driver of the week will surely be victorious. Then we are doing some 1 lap sprints, again reverse grid order for those who want to stay on, giving the slower drivers (i.e. me a small chance to win the odd race :) )

You are welcome to either or both of these nights.

The following week CSSdk will host and as host decides the track and the car/tyres we all use. The format for the races will also be decided by the host. We will rotate the host every 1/2 weeks.

Add me and any others on the race list (in green in first post) and see you online soon.

Cheers DJ
 
Hi DJ.
Just finished B spec and fed up with grinding A spec. So time to try out online racing.
Been looking for a group that will allow driving line as i feel helps me drive better (always outbreak myself). Which can sometimes lead to bumps/shunts which are not meant on purpose. and spend most of my time apologising...lol.

"average clean driver" - driving line ON, ABS=1, TCS=1 Rest off.

Have headset but not used it yet.
Maybe join in. If poss?

Just as Madwi said, You'll fit right in. Man, I'm surprised how much this little group has grown. I can't wait for Monday to roll around!

Yeah 4 of us last night in my lounge, some good racing.

Still a few issues, I would like to iron out:

1. Drivers invisible to each other...could be incompatibility between internet connections of drivers in the race, but I had that problem last week on some races and others it was fine....so could be just a certain combination of drivers creates this problem. Others have said that this is a new issue maybe related to the latest update 1.07...and with 1.08 probably arriving sooner rather than later cos of the credit glitch 200 lap thingy..that hopefully will get fixed.

2. Drivers getting booted mid-race...could be a local connection issue for that driver or problems with amount of traffic on the servers.

There were no issues with drivers unable to enter my lounge last night but the speed of the host connection must still play a part in all of this. KWAK mentioned that you can determine you internet speed by looking in one of the menus (not nat type as thats to do with how well the chat support will work) so see if you can dig it out...maybe we will have to use the person with the fastest connection to host races...let's see..

I am going to run the practice night in the open lobby so will post a room number around 8.30pm....just go to open lobby, type in the number in the search box and you should be there...but not tried this myself yet. It maybe that doing it this way will cause less problems. I will fix the ownership of the room so I can boot any 'idiots' but people who seem pretty cool can stay. However if you can't get in because the room is full (unlikely) just message me and I will boot out a couple of 'imposters :)' so you can get in...most people won't like the restrictions on the room...car/driving aids on..anyway..

I have a great photo from last night...which I am still working on posting..save..copy to memory stick..download to photobucket than upload to gtp...right??? It shows CSSdk (Chris) flying through the air in a battle for first with KWAK (Dave), with me tucked in behind closely in 3rd....piti nowhere to be seen..:sly:...what made me laugh was the damage to the sides of all the cars...not the best advertisement for clean racing..:lol::lol:

I think all this effort is worth it so we can find the best method of racing so we all have the most fun...it is good fun isn't it....I was inches from my first win last night...:ouch:
