Hey James......


Butz and I were really bored of the CTRA servers last night and actually managed to jump into our UF1's for the first time since Patch Y was launched....


we even did some scooting around the rally xcross tracks.......





Was really fun, maybe it will be enpugh fun to get us trying to get season 2 of the MAy-Hem Cup together, along with some rally xross rounds or something similar.....

get up early and race before work/school/college

Reporting is the way to go...afterall like Sam says, its not just a 'reporting' that means you are trying to get people in trouble, its not that at all, you are trying to get people to see the error of thier ways and the reporting system does that.... people don't tend to get burnt at the stake immediately, they are normally 'educated' before someone gets the can of petrol

Quote from Bean0 :

SamH, I think you're reading it wrong.

From looking at Dru's race results, I see one race on FE3R with a UFR and it came dead last..only completing an out lap and one other.

I think he's saying that it appeared on CTRA scoreboard as a seperate class (SD Class) ?
Could the guy using UFBR restrictions on Race3 somehow spawn this extra class ?

This is EXACTLY what I'm saying

The guy finished dead last and he won a 'new created class' called SD

The car designation AFTER his name was UF-BR indicating he was running the present restriction for the Baby-R.

...thought you ought to know

Quick question/observation

Last night on Race 3 after one of the first races we had on FE3R

I was surprised to see that we had 3 different classes running and scoring

GT1

GT2

SD Class???????????

It was won by a guy in a UFBR car.... is this a glitch or a bug or is it a new thing that you've done, to seperate out the FWD GTR's?

Cheers,


Dru.

Hmm I have something similar. 121 International is oke but 14 th national ??.

Yup, they said Holland was so small it would be included with Belgium, and there are 13 of them better than you

Quote from The Moose :

Ohh, its all gone a bit pear shaped on Facebook.

My stats say..

Driver Ranking

National: 333
International: 2472


A rapid decline.

Pull your finger out Moose.... those sorts of rankings are usuallly only resevered for British tennis players

Quote from The Moose :

Whaddaya mean? Wasn't this 'proof' enough for you?

Thats not Moose - thats 'Captain Birdseye' scouring the globe for top quality Cod!

Nice 1 - added to favourites

Quote from tailing :

Maybe you could allow bronze drivers to drive the TBO class, they aren't that hard and it seems like a natural progression from race1 to me.

NO!!!!!!

its not the car thats hard to drive thats the problem...... its the standard of racer that needs to be promoted

Quote from Stang70Fastback :

I'm trying to make my first ever skin, and the main issue I'm having is getting the skin colors to line up where they should. Is there anyone who could spend 3 minutes just lining up the color-change between the A-Pillars and the fenders, and where the doors open up? If so, I'd really be grateful.

Master skinners has a skin pack that will include a mesh so you can line it up

Quote from Jakg :

Just a little note, never EVER compare GFX cards on technical specs (like Clock Speed, Pixel Pipelines etc).

Too right Jack, compare them on how good the picture is on the box


Gonna have a look into this over the weekend and see what sort of bargains are to be had


Of course, I colud just spend the money on a G25 and a 22" widescreen instead.... now theres a thought.....

that was quick Jack

Yes,

I've got the main PC for Gaming, but i'm liking the sound of this Dell.

At the mo my PC is a Duo Core E6600, 7600GT and 2 gig mem so I guess I'd have to upgrade the lappy alot to get that level right?


What about the options with Vista..... should i get it with vista then put XP on it or just get XP or just get vista?

Hey people,

I'm looking to get a laptop/notebook or whatever they are called.

However I've got no idea where to start.

I've got around £400 to spend on one and I'm wanting to get something that is practical and 'can' game but not neccessarily HAS to game... if you catch my drift.

Can anyone help me out,

I have no idea about what processor/make to get, as GFX are intergrated, i have no idea whats any good.

I guess I would be looking for 2 gig of memory and also, what are my options regarding XP or vista?

Cheers all and I appreciate any advise you give.

I'm specifically wanting to get one now as the sales are on still

for instance are these any good?

A great fund raiser passes away..

Quote from Jakg :

Erm, what?

Delgado WAS licensed and still seems to be, yet it says he's a demo racer on the forums...

Are you getting confused Jack?

Delgardo was the guys Demo account...

yesterday he was posting in the CTRA forum section and then his Delgardo username was 'demo' so when do yuo think it was actually 'licenced'?

Quote from nelson_trujillo :

So, Stuart, don't be so happy, enjoy the current rank for a while, we are still scoring points

So you ARE deliberately either not entering a race name or or entering a silly one

great decision that is ................

Quote from The Moose :

As you wish. Just seems a bit odd(and disappointing) that one of the top teams would virtually disappear overnight.

Not really,

Half the members have just decided they don't want to score Team points when on CTRA....


...lol so much for unity

Quote from nick5747 :

Hello Everybody Sorry to Interupt but i am willing to join a United Kingdom Racing Team If anybody would like me to join then pm me..

Please post more details about yourself, it's not your fault but there have been loads of posts like this before ......

Quote from StableX :

HR is still here, united and strong

Ok, so we get from this post that HR are still together, but half the team have decided to remove themselves from the CTRA points scoring system for HR,

then I guess we have a new top 3 then.


Congratulations to the new top 3! Good job allround

BTW. does this mean that the 'Congratulations HR for reaching 300,000 points' post is now invalid since their revised total is now closer to 120,000 ?

Dru

Personally I would also say that the differences are due to the drivers as well


It's horses for courses - the same as the GT1 versions - in some places the FZR rules, whilst in other places the XRR or FXR are king...


As a beta tester back in the summer they were pretty balanced... the only thing is now whether or not PAtch Y has changed things drastically??? from my point not really - the above statements are still true

@Dru, I've been trying to create an *efficient* way of displaying the first/last names in the connection list on the Servers page. Efficient being the key word, because that's causing the delay. At the moment, and until I've done this successfully, unfortunately we're stuck with the current naming system in those lists.

Thanks for the headsup Sam I can imagine its a devils own job

Quote from alexr76 :

I've noticed that HR team fall down to 10th position and that's no good .

what's happened mate?

regards
Alex

Odd situation, I've had a look and over the last couple of days a certain percentage of HR drivers have removed their first and last names from their 'My CTRA' Page.

This then results in the following to occur...

"Insufficient participation to rank
nationally or internationally*.

*First and Last names are required "

This means effectively they are not correctly registered into the CTRA-X system and as such they can not be properly affiliated to a points scoring team, therefore the individual drivers points can not be counted on the [HR] total.


If you look closely they now only have 8 registered drivers, they did before this have 17 i think.


When these drivers decide they want their points on the the CTRA system to count towards thier Team they can fill in the missing details, they will then be correctly registered and affiliated again and their Team points total will be reflected accordingly.



Hope this clears up for worries but look on the bright side - all the other teams around them are now a place higher
