Quote from franky500 :

ok the extensions are showing as allowed, Can u try that and let me know.

nope, still cannot edit......

Thank again Franky. You set a fine example

Quote from (The Stig) :

I'm going to change my Webhost to 500servers.com but I'm now in doubts weither 500servers.com is going to cope ...

have you even gotten a pimple yet?

before this last move I could access all files from My PDA, now I cannot make any changes other than deleting info.
if I want to change a timed message in airio for instance, all I can do is delete the existing one, and not add or modify one......
any ldeas?

yes, I do need a hug.

thanks josh.also is it possible to input an event from last friday? I have all necessary info....no biggie if not possible.

is it necessary to have a ''league'' in order to utilize the database, or will you accept occasional one-off, well promoted big events that require registration to enter?it would also be beneficial to be able to advertise that the results from these events would be posted in the database......thanks,rsr.havoc

Quote from z-ro 8 :

alright anybody up for GT2's at SO1?Simple combo, CTRA restrictions imposed for us non aliens....Server [raceway33]GTR is currently set up this way.Maybe we could have a couple short races and a mini-enduro?I'll be on this afternoon, and maybe we can have enduro by 9 or 10 EST....

you even replied to it. and yet you were trolling instead of racing.
why complain if yer not gonna do something about it....

nvm. pointless to keep going.

Quote from bunder9999 :

don't ask me, it was sortof z-ro's idea... :hide:

Quote from logitekg25 :

enough with the chit chat, lets schedule some racing!! anyone up to making a website?

Quote from bunder9999 :

give me content, and sure.

ummmm. what? my idea?

i posted here, posted there, posted almost everywhere....only Danke and [CD]a-j showed up. why put forth the effort if all anyone does is talk about it?

Quote from bunder9999 :

sorry for the useless bump, but that's a hilarious analogy.

you should be racing not trolling

i hate the fox. and sorry didn't see ya join.....

Quote from bunder9999 :

what's wrong with the lfs forum then?

nothing, shut up and come race.

Quote from bunder9999 :

won't load for me and i can't be arsed to register to another forum if it did.

nvm,
just trying to get something going. if you "can't be arsed" then meh

Quote from easyed :

I can prolly make some evening races - sounds fun

Enlighten a noob - what are the CTRA restrictions for the GT2 cars??

noobs in the old CTRA servers were required to spend an ample amount of time in restricted GTR's before they were allowed to graduate to the full on white-knuckle monsters.

simply put, they used intake restrictions as such:
FZR 20%
XRR 25%
FXR 23%

can make for some great racing if youre not used to the big boy toys, or just suck like most of us.....

not sure if this info will help you Bob, but in 15 years of oval racing, we were restricted to mandatory open rear diffs in one of the divisions i built cars for, so we had to figure out how to apply upwards of 300 horsepower to the rearend, all the while maintaining minimal wheelspin and maximum forward momentum. not an easy thing to do, especially when required to use a bias-ply tire, which when heated grows like a pimple on prom night.

you need to take into consideration the amount of downward force applied to each tire contact patch(static weight), the difference in circumference between the rear tires (stagger) if any, the approx. radius of the turn, and the crossweight percentage change relative to the amount of static caster setup in front wheels.

an example, we were required to weigh no less than 3400 lbs., with a max. 54% left side, 49% max rear weight.
ideally, we would use the crossweight to load the left rear/right front tires, atempting to get as close to 1000 lbs of static weight on the left-rear. by doing this, and also by adjusting the pre-load using shims, we were able to manipulate an open rearend to act like a locked rearend, driving both wheels with what seemed nearly the same force. now had we not attempted to force so much static weight on the left rear, wheelspin would result, regardless of the amount of pre-load in the diff.

no this is not a mathematical answer, but maybe the example will help you reach your destination......

check this out.

post yer comments and suggestions in the thread

im ready to race so let's get goin'

Quote from bunder9999 :

i smell a fzr dominance coming...

I guess that depends on who shows up

alright anybody up for GT2's at SO1?Simple combo, CTRA restrictions imposed for us non aliens....Server [raceway33]GTR is currently set up this way.Maybe we could have a couple short races and a mini-enduro?I'll be on this afternoon, and maybe we can have enduro by 9 or 10 EST....

@goonie, hell yes. Fras' idea right?
@5-6-ACE, getting S2 also???
@MijnWraak: Creton!!!!!
@Alien: hahahahahahahaahahahahahahahaha
@bunder: yeah, less kiddies=better racing
@dadge: i can put up a section in the forum @www.raceway33.com......someone come up with a name for this section.

Since we are all spread out over umpteen servers at any given time, and several of us own said servers, maybe we can each host these nights. could open up the knowledge base of which servers and combos are available.
It seems many people frequent the same servers over and over just because that's what they are familiar with.
FM has 146,000 servers, bunder has at least one, RSR has one, i have two.....maybe do a combo-vote and a different server could host on a different week.......?????

As Goonie(and Fras) said, we are all fighting for the same drivers at any given day.....

my 2 cents....

Quote from EQ Worry :

Hm, I just checked the filter with following settings: SetupAbsAllow=false, SetupAbsForce=false and I was correctly spectated when using ABS, allowed to join without ABS...

hmm, something must be wrong with my file then, just tried exactly that and got nothing......grrr

yes i tried #2, but di not get spectated. even left server and rejoined without PW, same result.

not sure why this is not working properly. now that i think of it, i had same situation when attempting to exclude Abs.

Airio would not spectate for having ABS on unless i had cfg SetupAbsForce=true, and even then i could not join with or without ABS on.......

Quote from andRo. :

Hi, I have a question. Is it possible to configure for Airio so it would control whether TC is on or not? For ex. if its on, then Airio wouldn't let people to join?

Look in Airio.srv.txt for
CheckSetup=true
SetupTcAllow=false

you can temporarily test by joining server by joining with admin PW and type:
!cfg CheckSetup=true
!cfg SetupTcAllow=false

spaces and caps must be correct....


Edit: tested it, didn't seem to work correctly. may be a bug.
Maybe EQ can look into it.....

@ Worry. tried a few combinations of settings....does not seem to be working properly.
if CheckSetup=true:
if SetupTcForce=true, result=spectate whether TC is on or off
if SetupTcAllow=true, and SetupTcForce=true, result=spectate TC on or off
if SetupTcForce=false, and SetupTcAllow=false, result=allowed join TC on or off.....this should be the combo to spectate for TC on correct?

Quote from franky500 :

Everything is now ready.

Over the next couple of hours i will be stopping the old servers and starting everybodys new ones one by one. If your server is busy at the time, i will wait and do the changeover at a later time.

As of now please use http://500control.co.uk for making changes to your server(s)

thanks for making it right. and i for one am glad you spend time currecting the problem a.s.a.p. instead of checking your mail......

around 23:00GMT at the latest. and thank you!!!
