K i have a few solutions but still a few unsolved....

determining the difference between ai and human......i found a skin pack for all 06/07/stcc used by 100mb clan we could use till someone can figure out how to do our own clan skins

http://www.nogripracing.com/details.php?filenr=28759

the other option is to download a skin that DOES NOT have a race 07 plate on front or back and assign a key to turn on your headlights

Mandatory pit can easily be added.....tire wear and fuel still trying to figure that out....EDIT tire wear a no go

i mentioned it would be nice to have a little longer break between races.....Solution/problem

we could host instead of using a dedicated server that way we could vote to move before the next session, but we would lose the ballast and i thought it made a huge difference in the cars handling and enjoyed the challenge......we could reset the dedicated server after the first session but we would lose or pole positions......personally i think we should leave it as is and once your finished race 1 go do what u need to.....i figure u have 3-5 mins before the grid countdown is finished

Another thing i noticed was during the race i found it very difficult to hear a few guys when they spoke.....iam not sure if it was do to the game or, mic volume pick up or simply the mic not being close enough to the mouth.....if guys can check their teamspeak setup settings and check there voice recognation and volume please that will eliminate a few possibilities :)

and yeas mel was in the race for about 5 laps so if you could change that to a 22nd place finish

Thanks for doing that points church :)

Personally I'd rather not have all the same skins.

Those 100MB skins would make ID easy, How do we all feel about those? I could hear most folk okay.

I felt the same way, just wanted guys opinions....I personally think a downloaded skin with a different bumper plate and lights on should be more than enough until we get a big enough field and dont need ai anymore.. Map a button for lights and player names so u can toggle them on and off.....the only on screen I use is the speedometer Church as for players cars Kurupt 07 lacetti Dongotti seat cupra Knight seat cupra Helios Honda accord Neverender lacetti Mel Honda accord or alfa not sure Not sure what oldslowfred was driving Cheers

Sodding players names refuses to show up for some reason on mine, but those skins being predominantly black would make id a piece of cake, and as you say it is only till we can ditch the AI.

Morning all. 

Just to confirm that I was rear ended in race two by a humun and suffered to much damage so retired.  Not mentioning no names but can we agree if anyone causes an accident tand takes someone out hen out of courtsey they slow down and let the driver retake his place even if they have to let other drivers through.

Also can we make it so that if you are racing then they have to be in the TS channel which will make it more fun.

Default for names above cars is the tab button.

Not sure about skins coz I have never used them.  Still keen on name prefix because if you use a mod called XD you have a ruuning order who is in frount and behind you with also how far away they are.

And I do agree the first meeting was a blast and am looking forward to the next one if RL lets me.

For some unkown reason Tab as default on mine changed driving view I mapped name tags to space bar but they to not show up...As for race incidents that is a tough call, maybe down the line we should elect race stewards to review incidents? I did ask that damage be reduced to 50% to avoid heavy damage early on, and as I was smashed off by the AI also causing bad damage though I could struggle on, I still think it is a good idea.

Just reviewed the race, you were hit by Dongetti. As I read the incident you had taken a wide line leaving the inside open, Dongetti took the tighter inside line, as you cut back in your rear end clipped Dongetti's front. I would read this as a racing incident. Please don't take this as criticism but had I been you I would have pitted and got repaired and raced on to get the best points I could. With another 27 laps to go anything could happen.

 

Edit...Of course I forgot that you may not have been able to get to the pits, so that being said ignore my last comment if that was the case smiley

Ok Knight like I said was not out to name drivers but the way I felt I was hit I was rear ended.  If I had clipped the other car I would have span but I was pushed on gathering speed.  But hey thats the joy of racing and as Arnie once said " I will be back",smiley

Well I appreciate the desire not to name and shame so to speak, and if there had been a case to answer I would have PM'd rather than posted, but as I say it was not a hit as much as a coming together with no real blame either way. and I have mapped the name tag to Tab and it now works...strange that it was not there in the first place but at least I will now know who is in front smiley

It also occurs that we should use our gamer tags rather than real names that would help with ID I have created my KnightofRedemption tag that I will be racing under in future for our races

Donnington is up next this sat! Key to quick lap here is mastering turn 1, turn 4 and the last chicane :) I will lower the damage to 50% and since I don't use name tags to identify can guys please map a button for headlights and turn them please! Simple solution and what they do in real world during multi class races :) Cheers

Sorry, once again, but I will be working on Saturday again (why do people have parties on Saturdays) so will have to miss this weeks race.  Got a feeling it is going to be like this for the rest of the year.

110  I'll try to fly the Honda flag while you're gone.  Hopefully you can make one soon.

I was really looking forward to racing with you guys again so will only be able to join now and then.  If this impacts on the points for the series then let me know so when I race I will pull over on the last lap and let the humans go pass so I will finish in a no point postion.

Bah, where's the dislike button!  Don't go pulling over for anyone.  103  If you're doing well, you've got every right to finish there.  It's no different if it's you or the AI.  If you got a shot at the win, you deserve the win!  Besides, you could still be running for manufacturer points.  161  I can appriciate the thought, but it's not required, nor should it be.

Ballast is making a huge difference in lap times about a 1 sec + from my average.....very noticeable in quick turns the car gets very unsettled and tricky to handle at points.....should make for a good race :).
