Sat hosting

I want to be optimistic but there's a very good chance my sat hosting and running in any series could be ending.....we bid out summer shifts this thurs, and with the wife on mat leave I can finally bid a normal shift and get back on days for the first time in 3 yrs :) before returning in the winter :(

so ill let u all know thurs... If it does happen would anyone be interested in picking up the hosting duties to keep the btcc series going and other events ?

cheers

Arse...Though I am happy for you, as I'm sure that working days will give you more time with your family. Well we know my bandwidth isn't up to it, so unless someone else gives it a go that is 2O2R on a hiatus as far a league racing is concerned.

my internet is poop....I've looked at hosting services but the only one I have found that supports Race07 was very expensive.  I've seem some cheaper ones for rFactor however.  I'll keep looking for a solution!

Mate I did the same when we first started this forum, no cheap solutions out there. I may be able to get one of the guys over at GBR to get of us out of this hole, but for the sake of simplicaty we may need to switch to rF1 There is a passable BTCC mod for rF1 that has cars and tracks, as they are also testing rF2 we may be able to piggyback a euro series onto that... thoughts?

Well luckily for u crappy euro Internet guys I ended up with the same shitty shift :(

iam gonna revisit the btcc rf1 mod and compare the 2....it will more than likely remain on r07 as I've found out of the thousands of rf1 mods available there are very few quality ones, reason being in the hope of drawing more interest

Hey I have crappy Canadian internet (I don't know how you got good stuff!).

 

sorry about the shift :(

 

I found a hosting place for Race 07 that is 99 cents a slot - just going to check it out some more (make sure no hidden costs and easy management) and I still still may rent it for us if it stays cheap :)

On one hand...Arse, sorry mate. On the other Yay smiley Yeah stick with 07 mate, no need to switch. The mod I was looking at is okay the 2011 BTCC by the DLT Modding team but I prefer the R07 version.

Out of curiosity does everyone one have rf1? I've been working with a btcc mod and have everything working properly and best off all I have all the proper track configurations and iam really enjoying it :). Another reason for switching and I hate to say it....there's barely anyone still running r07 so if we want to attract more racers to our community I believe the smart move for the future is going to rf1. I also wanna progress my skills and get comfortable with just 1 sim rather than jumping around in multiple ones relearning every time. Iam sure a few gbr guys might show some interest as well by doing this. Another positive is the tire wear will play a huge part and will break down quicker if u push lap after lap and I can get proper ballast working :) Let me know and ill post a dl

I just hit up another person on reddit this morning about joining us.  So if the 2 guys I chatted up this week join that means we are getting a decent size grid and maybe we can talk some of the GBR guys into joining us too. I know oldslowfred joined us for a few races, perhaps tony diamond and some others will show up too.

Sounds good m8 ! 

Sounds like a pain in the ass to switch but it just makes sense for the future growth of this community....there's very few left playing r07 and if we wanna potential fill our grids I feel this is the best option :)

I love r07 for there touring cars, graphics and sound but we currently have 5 ft racers if 2 or more miss a race it makes for a pretty dull race and really makes the point, ballasts etc system quit pointless and a waste of time trying to organize.

Whatever is best for the league is great with me.  So if we decide to switch to rFactor, that will work.

do u want a grid with 5 people or run a series with the potential of more and expand our 5 man community?  I am open to suggestions :)

3 guys from gbr have responded to the idea of switching games.......

a few more reasons of switching is ai can be added and be competitive on all the tracks ive tested......good for small grid turnouts, we can increase tire wear to x2 to make things even more interesting, and if iam absent someone else could pick up the hosting duties :)

@ neverender yup 1ish mt r07

I know it's just endless downloads, several games bought and god knows how many hours spent sorting out steam fuckups and one series out of it. Ah well, what mod are we running, please let it be the one I already have by DLT

My steam r07 is all messed up as well for tomorrow we just need the btcc 2011 mod we tested the other week .

as for rf1 btcc a few more gbr guys have shown interest and u might already have the btcc 2011 mod that I was working with before when we thought of the switch...it just need 2 plr. Sound adjustments and 2 different tracks and your good to go!

when I get home later ill post a google drive with the mod in it for everyone and instructions on the sound file tweak 

with the switch we could possibly have 10+ entrants on a good day.....still need to MSG paradox, total and snappy I think they would be interested as well

Sounds like the one I have then, I seem to remember it having a sound file tweak addon in the folder. I couldn't believe it when Steam did it again, I have Race 07 all over the place, the new install fails to pick up any of the addons which is unforgivable. Fortunately it didn't see fit to delete the one that takes forever to load but at least has all the addons installed.
