Re: The ARSE Series
aaahhhhh now i understand...i think. the game creates it... i think lol....so just create Pit Out & Pit In. I think the identifiers you are talking about are just the letter of each drivers name in game....irrespective of whether its your real name or a nick.

Re: The ARSE Series
Been doing a bit of practice for next week, got to say the track choices are excellent, I love the elevation changes of Brands and Snetterton is a compromise in setup with that long straight and tight hairpin and essess.
So far I am using the Braby BT11 Climax 2.7 and done PB's of 1:38.88 at Brands and 1:30.11 at Snett but can see I can still make up time in a lot of places & it probably isn't the fastest car to use at Snett. I have also done a 1:30.41 @ Snett in the Maserati with a set that is still a long way of being right for the circuit. It is a real drivers sim this GPL with huge consequences when you get it wrong but great rewards when you get it right.
I am using the new rasters while practicing and have activated the Digital Display Modifier with them and it works great, not sure if I will use them for Tue night as I like the gap readout in prib, so I may revert back to the old rasters for online racing. I have also setup a lot of the options in GPLshift, the look around feature is insane as I can now triple tap my look left/right buttons to get 45/85/122 degree views, I have also activated its messaging feature so I don't need to use GPLOMe

Re: The ARSE Series

Re: The ARSE Series
What a blast I had a ball last night with the 2 races being a stark contrast for me.
Firstly I would like to apologise for my over enthusiasm and subsequent turn 1 spin at Snett, damn cold tyres and not enough starting line to 1st turn practice before hand. Also sorry to whoever it was that got bumped by me in Turn 1 later in the race again I was doing a lot of drifting with the setup I had and didn't realise how much more room you need to give in GPL compared to the other sim I drive, but I guess that is the nature of a 10yr old sim.
Rest of the race was quite good with a nice braking duel into the hairpin which got the heart pounding. (Sorry I don't know who was who, still trying to work out how to identify drivers without pribluda).
Second race @ Brands I decided I needed to be a lot more careful and it paid off with my first podium in GPL. Made sure I just stayed consistent and on the black stuff while others succumbed to either vehicle failure or off track excursions.
Also a huge thanks to Dave, Neil & Rob (maybe one other, I can't remember?) for sticking around and explaining so many different aspects of GPL, it was much appreciated. Sorry if it kept you up for way longer than you wanted as I too lost track of time.
Hope to see you all next week.

Re: The ARSE Series
Hey Guys, Sorry I can't make it on Tuesday, it is the last day of the month for me so I will be busy downloading to get my max quota.
Its probably a good thing as I have struggled to get any practice in and last night I found out how hard that Mexico circuit really is.
by the way I noticed that the GPL Setup Manager in GEM+ allows custom diff ramp angles, do you guys have a view on their use, best settings and allow them to be used online?
See you the week after next hopefully.

Re: The ARSE Series
I agree with Speed. Unless you are an alien trying to squeeze the last hundredth out for a World Record, I reckon the diff. settings on offer are more than enough. Changing these settings won't find you a bulk amount of time, but can help with consistency. I just found a setting that works for me, 45/60/2, (but it is usually a bit too agressive for other non-aliens but I have an unusual driving style) and use it in every setup.

Re: The ARSE Series
Sorry I haven't fronted the last few weeks, been a bit busy and last night I just forgot. ![Doh :doh:](./images/smilies/doh.gif)
My suggestions for non-Papy tracks are Lulsgate, Zeltweg and Pacific Raceways.
The best racing I've been involved in in months was at Silverstone, although it's not a rank track for 66s.

Re: The ARSE Series
next week we'll be @ Albi & Monaco...the following week we'll be @ Leipzig & Monza.
suggestions noted Dave and will definately take them into consideration over the coming weeks![Smile :)](./images/smilies/smile.gif)
last nite was a blast even if it was only to have a laugh over norbs ....err....lets say ineptitude hehehehe
i'm sure that if he becomes a regular *cough cough* ( heaven forbid i've become a plebite ) or even a semi regular, he'll soon be up to speed![Smile :)](./images/smilies/smile.gif)

Re: The ARSE Series
I doubt I will become a regular. GPL is just too hard to get back to my old levels in a hurry. Plus, the net code sux arse compared to LFS. And I am downloading rFactor as well.Bluesman wrote:next week we'll be @ Albi & Monaco...the following week we'll be @ Leipzig & Monza.

rFactor is good Norbs but with so many mods it can get messy. Good online racing to be had in it though. I'm hanging for Prototype C so I can flog a Porsche 956 ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/smile.gif)

For anyone who wants a setup for the BT19 for Albi. Trail brakers will want to move the brake bias back a bit.

Re: The ARSE Series
If somebody saved the Monaco race last night, could they please check my fastest lap in the race as my computer chucked a wobbly on exit. I'm sure I did a 1:29.91 but it didn't save to my pla66.ini Thanks
