I've all but given up on even trying to race the 1600 on public servers. It's numpty hell out there.

As much as I'd like to for old times sake, I simply cant go back to driving LFS now.:sorry:

Dont want to sound like a snob, but netKar is really not for keyboard/joypad users.

They may be supported, but it's complete waste of time plying this with anything other than a wheel.

It's main selling point is it's amazing 'feel' Without that it's a complete waste of time. Your missing out on what it's all about.

Quote from Chrisuu01 :

What is that sticky wall problem like it sucks you in like they did sometimes in GT1 and 2?

Yup, Kunos changed the wall physics and it's caused a problem with addon tracks. Still waiting for an answer on how to solve it.. It's a pain in the butt. ( not that you should be touching the walls anyway )

Swift thread title editing there fella

Quote from three_jump :

this seems to be finally fixed in 1.1, at least i had no probs with my g27.

and no problem here with my DFGT..

You've got the minimum and maximum travel settings on your brake as the same value That's why it doesn't work.

Dont know why it doesnt display properly, but the right hand box is SET MAX and the left it SET MIN

Press your brake full and hit set max, release it and hit set min.

Quote from Rudy van Buren :

all i can say about 1.1 is that imo its the best ive ever driven, ffb , setups, everything is so acurate.

only thing what misses for me are real tracks, but apart from that a new addiction has just begon...

Always nice to hear comments like that from real life racers

Quote from three_jump :

Is it just me or is the sound (loudness) difference between engine and tires a bit off? (I'm refering to the video link posted above)

The tire volume in the replays is well overdone. All sounds can be adjusted in game though

Quote from 5haz :

Having quite a bit of trouble with the latest version, very wierd shadow bug and my PC reboots after synchronising with an online server, are these well known bugs? Can't find anything on them.

Sorry, not heard of those ones... Shadow bug could well be a driver issue, but as for PC rebooting...no idea. Not seen that reported anywhere.

Quote from NightShift :

My impression is the english speaking nKp community is broken down on several different boards. While doing my searches I counted at least 4 or 5 different ones, and there are probably more.

If all these people somehow brought most or all of their netKar related discussion on DI I imagine things would become better.

I agree, but the problem is when RSC was the main forum for the English speaking community there was never any input from the devs unless a new version was released, then he appeared for a week and was never heard of again until the next release. Meanwhile he continued to post in Italian at DI.

I think the English speaking community gave up on communication with the Devs.

The English speaking forum is pretty dead at DI for that reason i suspect, and there is still very little input in that section from the devs, yet the Italian section is full of stuff we just dont understand, and the various translation sites are pretty useless.

Quite frankly the English speakers seem to feel they have been shunned by the team, so we tend to gather at GPC, R2P and Race Department and our team sites where we can only speculate on news and glean whatever info we can based on rubbish translations. It's far from ideal. If there had been an official English forum at DI from day 1, with some decent communication from the devs, we probably wouldn't be in the fractured state we are today.

Better still, forget the 1600 altogether and get the 1800 out. It's amazing

Suggestion for TigerClw...

Install the Formula Armaroli mod
Install Virtua_LM's Mid Ohio
Install Realfeel
Try again.

If you come back and tell me LFS is better then i know you're just a fanboy.

Quote from TigerClw :

rFactor is probably the worst game i ever played. Even Need for Speed is easier and more intresting. Thats all there is to say. Comparing it to LFS is like comparing a rusty tractor to a brand new Ferrari.

Ignorance is bliss, so they say.

Problem solved. Thanks for the quick response!

Is there anyone that could host the netKar Pro v1.1 final package on an FTP, even just for one day.

A league I'm running in needs a direct download as their server wont download from any of the free filehosting sites.

Any help would be appreciated.

Simraceway can go f*** themselves.

Some of you obviously haven't seen the outrage they have caused in the modding community.

Go and do some research.

Quote from tristancliffe :

I'll play in the F3 car and see if he's got that going nicely.

Just don't use your old setups... They can cause weird physics anomalies.

I found I had to use very different setup parameters than previously. I'm interested to know if Kunos is headed in the right direction, as I know you weren't impressed with that aspect previously.

Either way, I love the way the cars feel now. Mainly been testing the F2000 and I have it feeling great now. Beautifully controllable, and unlike Mattesa I find it behaves completely naturally, and I don't suffer form the "snapping" that he talks about. Probably a setup/wheel setup thing.

Was meaning docs

Just gonna have to wait I'm afraid...or jump in feet first and hope you can swim

Quote from DieKolkrabe :

Any progress with the track editor?

What progress would you like ? It's there and it works..just no documentation to tell you how to use it

Hopefully one of my teamates at Lastplace or Jaap will release a guide soon. Cant say when though.

The main work still has to be done in 3ds Max. The KOFLite tool is just really for the final stuff to get it into netKar. Our guy Juha worked most of it out himself iirc, so anyone with experience of this sort of stuff should be able to I reckon.

Quote from DieKolkrabe :

Which tracks work best?

Not got round to testing them yet. You will get an error if it's one of the ones with a problem, or so I've been told. You can still drive them apparently, but might get a teleport back to the pits if you come into contact with certain objects.

Spa seems fine... only addon track I've tried.

I should have a list of what works ok later.

Quote from troy :

It's on the official site now too.

http://www.netkar-pro.com/download.htm

Yup, and just to confirm, the Final is the same build as the RC, so if you've downloaded that there's no need to grab it again.


Most important is to remove the old netKar PRO folder in mydocuments before installing the RC/Final (AFTER BACKING UP YOU DRIVERS and LICENSE FOLDERS ) Some weird stuff will happen if you don't.

This is a fresh install, not a patch. Don't install it over a previous beta.

...and dont use old setups.


Some of the addon tracks have a problem. you can still use them but there are some objects that will cause an instant teleport back to the pits. Hopefully the fixes wont be to long.

Damn it's good.

Quote from Klutch :

Thoroughly enjoyed this video.

Do you have to work hard at being a complete retard or does it come naturally?
