Quote from theirishnoob :heres a video of me havinbg some fun testing my set-up

please note i use a keyboard so i can drive as good as i want to but i tryed

also anyone know a good video editing programme

You need to get this (it's free but you can only record 30secs at a time with the free version), then run the replay and record it using that program. Then you can use Windows Movie Maker to edit the clips you record.

Quote from Btoryo :NOPE!



Not sure anyone will get this without another pic or clue.

What country is it from?

Removed the hint. Wonder why?

The Hint was - 1541

It still gives me no clue to what the car is.

Another piece of the pic might help.

I would have to agree with Sam on this, sorry Becky, but if you are going to run a SS license system, I thinkthe MRT would have to be included. Also, it would have to come before the FOX because the FOX would not prepare you for the MRT, as Sam said. I understand it's a difficult car to handle but I think that any server, with a setup like the STCC, would be better off without people who are unwilling to learn and who just want to get into the fastest cars a quick as possible. I understand some people are already well able to handle these cars but I would imagine there was just as many people who could drive the UF1-XFG/XRG when they began their STCC license, but still had to go through the motions of getting their Silver license before progressing onto #2 server.

The way Sam suggests, to have an AX with a reduced number racers before actually getting on track, I think is a great idea. People who join the server will soon find out that it's not your normal server and learning to handle the car is the name of the game, NOT seeing who is the fastest/best driver.

Seperate for me also, as people have said, it's two different styles of driving. You would need to progress through each class (TBO, Single seater), not getting to the top of one class and automatically being top in the other class.

Great idea.

Yeah, maybe a celtic decal might work, to break up the black. I'm not sure about having the bumpers in the foam color but I'll give it a go and see how it looks. Cheers for that.

I thought that about the spoiler, I think I'll change it.

Cheers.

I wish I was that good, but to be honest, I'm not a fan of the skins that try to be something they are not.

Ok, N I K I, I have Sony Vegas 6 but I'd say it's similar to 7 so this is how I would do it. I'm still a noob to this program but here goes -

Attachment 1 - Click Media Generators tab, then select Text.

Attachment 2 - When you choose your text style and enter it into Video Overlay, a Video Event FX tab will open and in that window is where you type your text, then click the Placement tab, to put the text where you want. Then you can choose the effects the text has and other stuff too.

Hope that helps.

So it could be anything, with a Merc badge stuck onto it?

I though he was wrong because he didn't give what type of Merc.

We need another pic.

Is this even a Merc? I can't find any Mercs with that kind of grill... well one, a 1952 300SL but it's still different to the one in the pic. All other grills have horizontal bars, not vertical, like this pic.

Quote from mrodgers :In by opinion, that idea fails . It's due to the fact that many folks don't have all day for racing (jobs, family, you know the normal distractions). So, I log on and join midrace. It's difficult because I need to create a setup (Inferno sets for XRT are strickly drift sets for me, LOL). But, the field is spread out and I don't want to get in the way of anyone. So, I can't get some good continuous laps in. I'm shift-s'ing back to the garage after too short stints to make setup changes (I'm not a setup guru, I can't run 1 lap, make all the changes and have the perfect car). The race is over, I see that "oops, I am going to need more fuel for a full race." In the garage, add fuel, race is auto restarting, press join LAG!!!!!! Race starts, now I have the join button countdown. Great, I missed that race, but it gives me time to work on setup for 20 minutes before the field is spread out again. I work on setup for 20 minutes. I like it. The set feels good. The race ends. I am ready. I am waiting for the restart with the set I finally like. "End Race in 3... 2... 1..." Now it changes to a new track and I have to start all over again..... Eh? I'm going to bed instead.....

Ah man, you are going about it all wrong. You are trying to have a perfect setup to be competitive, which IMO, ain't gona happen untill you actually get some full races under your belt. Fiddling wit the setup wont help you get used to the car/track combo.

I would be the same as you, not good at setups yet!. But when I first joined the Silver & Gold server the only setup I used was Bobs Easy Race setup, with a couple of small changes, and that was for every track. Just to get the feel for the car, RB4, and the track rotation. One thing I did find hard, only because I use a mouse, was starting mid grid and having the decision whether to try to hold my postion or just pull off the racing line and let everyone by. I let everyone by for most of my races there but lately I have been getting braver and trying to hold postion, sometimes making a balls of it and having to do the ol' shift-s thing.

I have downloaded all the inferno sets for the RB4, and the majority of them only need a couple of changes to make the car easier to handle, for me anyway. One thing that's not easy with a mouse is making the tires last the long races.

0 points again.

20+ laps of FE Club, came 5th, 1 lap behind, got my PB too for that track, don't know if you give points for that?



Nobody else said anything about it so not sure if it's happening to everyone. This was my first full race today. I'll go for another race, see what happens.

Quote from Becky Rose :Question please, is it registering 0 points for every race now, or did the problem just effect one race?

Well I only ran a couple of races last night, the first one I got kicked when I crossed the finish line and the second was when it came up that I got no points. I should have raced again to see if it was a once off but it went up to 14 laps and my hand was sore from doing then 10 laps. I need a wheel.
U4IK ST8

Yeah I thought so, I realised Becky launched an emergency patch and thought this might have had something to do with it. Just posted here to let you know something was wrong.

It's not a big deal, to me anyway, not to get points. I enjoy the racing, license progression is a bonus.

I understand some issues still need to be sorted to get STCC into the 'next phase' and if not getting a couple of points is the consequence, well so be it. It will all be worth it in the end.

Cheers to all, for the help and work being put into the STCC, it's a great place to race, long may it last.

It was 10 laps, I finished on the same lap as the leaders, ~1min behind.

I'm not sure if something's up with the system but I just did 10 laps of Westhill, came 7th and wasn't lapped , and got 0 points? I'd usually get some points but got none this time round.

Ok...

It was never ment to be a personal attack of this racer. I was just amazed at the way this chap reacted to an accident! He was never crashed on purpose, but sought revenge for the rest of the race and the next. I just wanted to show people what went on in the race, clearer picture of what I saw, rather than just reading my post.

I appologise for making the replay public, I never thought of it as an personal attack. I didn't name him for that reason.

Quote from Viper93 :Please remove the replay U4IK ST8 If you have a problem with someone's driving please send it to the STCC server admins and using the STCC site for any questions. This is not the place for this.

Thanks,

Chris

PS mods could you be able to delete this thread please?

I've already sent it, I just wanted others to see it and see if they felt the same way.

What's the problem in showing a replay of a Platinum licensed racer wrecking someone else?
U4IK ST8
S3 licensed
Yeah ok, maybe once, but to continue to do it throughout the whole race and the next race?

@Jakg - I did and I think the recieving driver did also.
Platinum Wrecker?
U4IK ST8

Ok...

So, I was going to type up what I saw and what I thought about it but I decided to just attach the replay to see for yourselves and get your views on what happened.

This was crazy, I was racing on the Silver & Gold server on one of the small SO tracks(~14laps), and when I checked this chaps license he is a Platinum, which amazed me. I noticed him racing before and thought, on a few occassions, that his driving was very aggressive, pushing people through corners, diving down the inside line. And to see what I saw lastnight, well, I only ever saw this stuff on Demo servers. It starts from lap 8, keep your eye on the black and white XRT. I think both could have been abit more aware but lag was obviously the cause of the crash after that. Then the madness begins.

There wasn't many people racing so I don't think many actually saw what happened, but I feel this driving is not on, for the Silver and Gold server.

Just to add, it continued after this race, with the XRT driver actually taking the other guy out right from the start, putting him in the wall, more pitting and waiting to wreck, but I forgot to save that replay.
