ohyeah, there are some mentions about replays and offering them on the webpage, but that's not possible automatically I'm afraid; dedicated hosts don't record them
i got a problem with the website results

every time i get a new PB it always puts me in the wrong position, usually down the list e.g. i got a 2:02.82 but it puts me in 20th position but i should be 12th

it also happened when i did a 2:03.xx and a 2:04.xx time, it puts in down the list
It clearly doesn't like you

No seriously, did you touch any of the hayballs? Maybe you got a penalty, and it is accounted for in the ranking (or some internal time), but the wrong, penaltyless time gets displayed here?
i don't think i hit anything, but it shows i got a faster time in the website
Same problem as Y-not.

On the website I am 42nd, while according to the time I should be 1st (kidding, 23rd I meant :P)
If the list on the server is full (24 drivers, I believe), it doesnt change anymore. Maybe, it has to do with this.


Btw, does anyone have a good set for this track (AutoX tracks in general) for XFG?
No, I'm not in that list either, but my position displays correctly.

My setup:
- Pretty stiff setup, with more ARB in the rear than front
- Relatively short gearing
- Very soft tyres (hybrids) @ 150kPa
- Front -6° camber
- Rear -3° camber
- Front toe in -1°
- Rear toe in -2°
- Clutch pack LSD @ 75%
- Brake balance @ 55%, iirc

That setup worked reasonably well for me yesterday, placing me 7th.

Alot depends on your driving, though. Generally speaking, always try to take the shortest route (read: hog the inner side of the curves as much as possible). Also limit drifting to a minimum, this saves you alot of time.
I'm the 24th and I have a much better time than the 23rd.

Edit: Seems to be fixed now
Quote from AndroidXP :- Very soft tyres (hybrids) @ 150kPa

the hybrids are faster than the regular road tires? That sounds counterintuitive to me. I only just got to work, and now I want to go home again already so I can try that out
Are people really stupid these days or just really stupid?

Actually I don't think they're faster after the patch, but equal to road normal tyres. The only difference that COULD be there would be quicker heatup, but I dunno how that should be happening.
Muahahah! 2nd place
BUG:
You can pit in and out while racing, which allows you to retry if you have made a crash. Havent tested if its actually recorded though, just been pitting in and out a bit
Victor's already working on it

Btw, even if you pit, the total time counter doesn't reset, so after 3 minutes total time you're booted to spectator. Directly speccing on pit would be better, though.
and there's also a 3 minute maximum after which you're auto-spectate, so constant pitting will get you out of the race eventually (without finishing)

but yes, i'll do the 'auto spectate after pitting' thing later on

oh wait, that's what android said

Yep - hybrids are 3.5-4.0 seconds quicker
AndroidXP you need break my friend 26 attempts at it should be topping the times by now
Quote from GrantR :Yep - hybrids are 3.5-4.0 seconds quicker

Strange, I immediately improved my best time by 1 second when I switched from hybrids to road normals.
The grip seems to be identical, the hybrids just slip a bit more when they have the most grip, and they heat up much quicker.

That it ture but i think it is better to have the backend to be a little loose into the tight section so it turns in a bit more
quick update - the autox host is open again after being closed for some hours today. Most issues have been solved now. Also the choice of the XR GT has been added. It's probably not faster than the XFG, but some may prefer to drive it.

Some special commands have been added :
!help - shows the following commands :
!rank [username] - show your or someone else's place in the rank
!queue - show the couple of racers next in line
!skip - skip your turn (when it's your turn)
!away - set yourself aside from racing - you will not be invited
!back - report yourself back in duty again

XRG laps wont be recorded on the website, it says "new pb blah blah" in the chat though

[EDIT]
auto spectate after 3 minutes didnt work for racer "blonde11", and he/she could vote end race.
Bleh, I was a rolling chicane earlier
ehm... does that mean 2 cars on the track at once?
Quote from ORION :XRG laps wont be recorded on the website, it says "new pb blah blah" in the chat though

because the laptime wasn't a pb. Remember it's 1 chart for all allowed cars. Not a chart for every car separately
