Anyone mind posting a screenshot of the current chicane? It's no biggie if no one has one, but I figure it might be a good idea just so people reading the forums can see what's currently in place, since we have pictures of everything that was in place before this.

Thanks in advance if someone posts these

IMO, blocking the entire curb with tires and the exit line with that wall of tires is hell. Many times people have accidents due to hitting the tires on the exit line. Other times people take the exit line and obliterate the tires and cause hell for everyone else comming through the chicane. The tires on the curb shouldn't be there because curbs are drivable surfaces, they should be blocking the cut through the grass though.

Just my 2 cents

Edit: As you can see in the above screenshots, you can fit an entire car onto that curb... that's a lot of extra T1 space that's become much more hazardous.

Voted yes, but would like to see longer races. Though I completely understand why longer races may not be possible.

Thanks, Sam, Becky and the rest of the CTRA, for constantly caring about what your racers think

Nice pictures people!

Cut Chemist vs. Shortkut

Waiting on the CTRA server to switch tracks

Wondering if someone could render this if possible. I fussed around with trying to render, but I need a hell of a lot more practice and learning...

If possible, something like a garage background, or just a plain, dark background would work fine.

Thanks in advance if someone takes the time to do this

I hope I never meet you on the track Sam, you're already beating me on the forums. You're too quick! lol

Very cool, I like the look of the new bars. *EDIT* Thanks for the change from "Driver to Racer", just noticed lol

Either way, thanks! Very quick change, looks nice!

Curious on when the forum userbars will reflect the new logo?

Not that big a deal, but I use my userbar in other places and would like it to reflect the CTRA instead of STCC, since STCC is dead now

Thanks Becky, for your time and effort you put into the STCC, though I never raced with you, you'll be missed.

Thanks, Sam, and others, for helping to continue the 'system'. Many of us appreciate it.

I have the same deal everytime I hook the wheel up to play, but I just recalibrate before I race anyway. Never knew about that patch though, ty for that, Gunn

Yeah, Smoke Mod only works on S2


I'm not sure if that's true or not, but you should buy it anyway!

Wooooo

Auto-cancle would be ok (+1) . But I will miss the days of drafting behind 'grandpa' with his left blinker on and not a turn in sight

:hihi:

Quote from frokki :

I'd hunt a momo (red or black) from ebay - it's really the only option, and for £50 it's possible to get even a DFP . Buying a crap wheel is like vomiting in your dinner.

Trust me, it's best to wait until you have what you want, otherwise you'll just wind up spending more to replace the one you should of never bought in the first place. Be sure you at least get one that clamps to your desk and has pedals. Those 2 things should be the very least you expect from a wheel.

I personally use the Logitech Momo (black version [newest Momo]). You can find them online from $90-110 new and cheaper used.

Be warned though, with the topic of this thread, you might have everyone suggesting everything. So, it might be in your best interest to post what your price range is, then we can start some better suggestions from there

I know this isn't a picture, but I had the video already made. This wasn't intentional 2 wheels, I had wrecked early in the race and just did some practice laps after the pit, came in a tad too shallow and you'll see the result.

The vid is about 1min40sec long, slow motion from external and interior. Music is rather soothing also. Enjoy.

I'm done. Puttin the wheel in the closet and waiting for the next patch. I'm beyond pi**ed now.

Sorry if I wrecked you tonight, it was due to the awesome stutter BS.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! :bitehard:

Try regearing the car a bit to work more power to the lower gears (faster accel), this will keep the wheels spinning longer.

Try not to rely on the handbrake, use it more for situations where you might be overspeeding and need to slide earlier than usual, or if you're understearing into a corner you can use the handbrake to get the rear out.

What tire pressures are you using? The harder your tires, the easier it is to slide the car, but they also heat up faster.

Try using a locked differential. This puts equal amounts of power to both drive wheels and is usually easier to keep them spinning as you wont have one tire catch grip and slow your drift.

It would help if you could post a replay of your attempts though, that way someone can look at it and suggest a different method of drifting that particular corner. As is, I'm not sure which corner you're talking about. There's many smaller corners that you can drift with the XRG just fine, and the longer ones where you might get half way around the corner before regaining all grip.

Hope that helped a bit

Here's a site also to help with setups.

http://setupfield.teaminferno.hu/

You'll find a lot of people running setups from that site as well

Welcome aboard

lol, it's ok man

As for 56k, I'm hardly familiar with that anymore to be honest. I can't imagine why you'd have problems unless you were running a firewall and that was blocking UDP protocol.

I hate to be of completely no help here, but that's what it's lookin like. Sorry man, hopefully a 56ker or someone might know why that protocol would fail for you. Until then, best I can offer is make sure all drivers are up 2 date, your modem might be a Winmodem (software based) so make sure those drivers are new as possible. Do all window's updates and run a spyware app just in case. Best advice I can offer

Thanks, neighbor

Don't mean to rain on the parade here, but why not be more original and use some music from your own collection? Sure, it's nice to slap some plastic overplayed song on your video, but after a while, hearing the same song on so many videos gets old.

Just a suggestion though. If you don't have a collection of music, then I'm terribly sorry

Some info such as what OS you're using, NIC and connection type would help. Also, are you using a router?

No one can help you if they have no idea what you're using

If you don't know any of the above things, I would reccomend researching your type of computer (if mass produced) and try to come up with more info for those who can help you, to help you.
