Bump!

Did.

I've been having this problem for quite some while now. It's not from the router, nor the ISP. I tried joining on my other PC, and it worked. What could be the problem? Please help me!

That site helped me alot.

As far as I remember, i let you through every time. You passed me two times. One time i braked because you just went to nowhere and i didn't want to end up like my team mate from GTS 1 , and the 2nd time i yielded for the same very reason.

And, by all means, you should have been the one to get cautious, not the ones arround you. Remember? You lagged, not us.

+1 for postponing for another weekend!

IS comes from my county's name (Iasi):
"IS 05TFU"
"IS 54TAN"
And i sometimes use this one (stolen): "Pro Noob"

Nice race! I must say i love the close battles these cars offer to guys like me!
Good job to the LX6 guys, they managed to get a good position, even though they started at the back of the grid (well, if we don't mind the time out one of them had).

Oh, and if anyone of you managed to get a full replay, could you please share it?

We really appreciate your effort!
But our names, in GTS Motorsport
Right ones were: Dan, Ady, Dominic, Gaby, Razvan-R
Thank you in advance!
Oh, and here is our GTS 24h Skin

Yeh, that is a known problem for MOMO.
But they will hold a while, and if you get new pots you won't have this problem ever again.
By the way, the MOMO force feedback and accuracy are a big deal for such a cheap wheel

Well, I hope I know what you're talking about.
I've had this wheel until a week ago or so. Worked just fine for it's money.
Here's a few tips on setting up the wheel properly:
In Logitech Profiler, at Force Feedback settings try to set the following values:
-Overall Effects Strength: 100
-Spring Effect Strength: 0
-Damper Effect Strength: 0
The last 2 settings are optional for most arcade games. LFS is a sim and it generates those movements by default.
Also inside LFS, try to set the wheel compensation at 1, this way you'll have much more accuracy on the first 3/4 of the wheel turn.
Your problem could also be caused by lag, so make sure you've got a decent FPS value
Oh, and also, evrytime you enter LFS try to spin the wheel from one end to another, as well as pushing the pedals to the end a few times. This calibrates the wheel inside LFS

Well, unfortunatelly, GTS 2 had a disconnect
Anyways, all the best for CR guys, maximum fair play!

Exactly, they had control. Not even the smile or playing the guitar wouldn't make it better for them, until my friend managed to sneak and run, that was it
The positive part though is the fact that i am somehow "immune" to the ones my age or slightly older now, considering that until now i had some doubts about taking control. Whatever doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. A cliche, but it fits just fine arround here

Quote from Becky Rose :

you only have the power of a citizens arrest in cases of high treason (for which I think we still have the death penalty).

Of course the only time an 'arrest' is any use is when you have the force to back it up, it doesn't confer any respect from other citizens and is an utterly useless power.

My response / reasoning to danger follows the following rough format.
1. Do not put self in dangerous situation.
2. Run
3. Intimidate
4. Violence
5. (in case of defeat) Preventative measures against recurrance if necessary.

In most cases a victim of a violent crime is targetted because they do not appear to pose a threat or potential for retaliation, giving the attacker free will to control the situation.

And that's all it is, a power play for control. By taking control and backing it up with confidence most potentially explosive situations can be resolved without violence. By letting an attacker remain in control and not escaping then some degree of violence is almost alwys guaranteed. Therefor running is safest, and being passive is not an option I wish to ever take again.

I have tied using the police as a preventative measure before but they're pretty useless.

Absolutelly right! In 99% of my conflict situation i've done stuff like that, worked all the time, no doubt. Those people had a bit of feelings, so this worked on them.
Well, this time, (considering it to be the other 1%) we tried to, but simply couldn't. We were literally surrounded, any move or attempt to touch the phone ment a big nudge from them and eventually some punches shared. I wish i could describe these guys better, but it's simply impossible, you have to live it and see it.
All the best

STF, obsolum you two were the closest to real life here, the only ones who got the point: these ppl wont scare easily. I bet u know the "Raw" kind of people i'm talking about. Balcanism!
Ofc, for the moment we'll keep away from that place, dont care how it sounds like, but i still mind for my teeth, i'm only 17, lol.
As for the baseball bats, not a good idea, because even if they are babuins with no brain that doesn't mean they can't learn by repetition (even dogs can do that). And by repeating robberies and burglaries they have caught some tactics, and they can easily confuse you, take your bat and u know what follows.

Lucky my friend running away pissed them off enough so they let us go

Edit: JPeace, even if i had a gun i wouldn't shoot him if he had my guitar in his hand, and trying to call the police was gonna mean pain. It was a small room, u know, 7 people inside it, no room for "silly stuff"

I'm gonna tell u what happened further.
We went to the police station, angy and scared (we could show it now, we were "free"), and, what a surprise, it was closed. That, ofcourse, left us in a bit of a shock. What were we supposed to do? Phone call, I say. Phone call we did.
"Hello, how may I help you?" - "Well some guys picked up on us in the train station, they kept us in there for almost an hour and then one of them hit a friend of mine" - "Ok, we'll send a crew to see what's up, Thank You" *hangs up*. Now tell me, what could be up after the whole mess was over? The fact that they hang up really bothered me, because i was realising i am afraid for my safety in my own neighbourghood and nobody would do anything! Sucks, ha?
Well, about the birbe, it is a real option arround here, but let's assume that we've taped the guys and we have all the proof of what they have done. We go to the police, we announce the event, the policemen call the guys who did this and in the best case, i repeat, IN THE BEST CASE they will get a little fine and will be left to get home and sleep peacefully.
How does that make me safer? No damn way, it actually gets the situation worse so i guess option #3 is the best one, since this is the only way to make things right, even tho it's kinda embarrassing and animalic.
The weapon option is a real one, so, after i told my dad about this i asked him to give me one of those paralising sprays, because when my "crew" is not arround (and i obviously cant win a fight with that man), i can use it for safety.
It kinda sucks how we get back in the jungle days.

Well, we eventually came up to a decision. The "slapped" friend will testify at the police station and scare those guys. They have done nasty things before for sure, and police is a sure enemy, If they will act nicely, we will be nice on them and take our reclamation back, as long as they agree to stop (that's the whole point at the moment).
About the court option, nothing would change, the legal punishment for their infraction is just a fine. Overall, they did what..picked up of some 17 yr old guys and slapped one of them. That's how it sounds from outside! The psychological effect was the real one, and i dunno how to describe those guys. They're no ordinary "muscle packs", dressed nicelly and with golden chains at their neck. They're a bunch of Raw country men, 6 ft tall, ugly, smelly, dangerous, violent. If i was to make a comparison it would be with..dunno let's say an old russian horror movie

The thing that annoys me the most is the lack of attitude from some people, for example that train station keeper. That drove me really crazy and i swore to myself i'd take attitude at every little crap that happens in my field of view!

Well, today sth really nasty happened with my little group of friends.
We are 4 guys, 16-19 years, and today we decided to go in the train station, in that room and play guitar. The main reason was that the room has a wonderful resonance and the guitars sound crystal clear.
We did that, started playing (2 guitars on us). We had a bunch of song lyrics and tabs with us so we were prepared to spend some time arround there. Bit by bit, it turned dark. Couple of days ago some sick wierdos came in that same room and picked up on one of my friends because of his long hair. That was nothing (although they spitted on him!! they were 25+ years, heard rumours: 12 brothers, living out of the town, remotely, crazy ppl, used to being in prison)
That passed. For 2 days we stayed off the train station, but we said, wth, how can we be afraid at 300m from our homes, so we went on again.
As i was saying, it turned dark, and, bang, those same sick wierdos with killer's faces went in again. You should've seen my face on that.
The following moment, they ordered silence. I say they ORDERED not they told us to be quiet. I am still trying to figgure out, were those humans? Probably trying to impress, they threw the box from mah guitar onto the ground and threatened my "haired" friend with a "knife", wich, eventually turned out to be a lighter. Ofc, now that we knew what was about them, we were all pi$$ed and scared. What can 4 lil' guys do to 3 babuins with no brain? Well, almost nothing.
Afterwards, a friend wanted to leave. "You're not leaving anywhere!" Full Stop. "Gotta go get my guitar home, i'll be back" - "GET THE F ON THE SEAT!!". My friend found himself almost flying, being carried by the hand of one of those wierdos. They caught a so-called "hate" on that friend of mine. They were doing humiliating stuff to him, like "when i tell u to turn your head to the right, you do, got it?" - *no answer* - "Turn your head to the right!" - *no answer* - "DO IT!!", and he finally did turn his eyes a bit. The orgolio in him was raging, but he knew if he would start a fight, it wont be good.
They kept going, "torturing" us with various stuff. They were taking our guitars, pretending to hit us with them, they laughed, and so on. They asked for our phones, wich ofc we had to show them (or else..), and they ended by Ordering us to play. Eh, when that happened, the Train Station keeper (let's call him TSK) went inside and told us all to go out.. I came out last, the TSK was looking at me and i sliiiightly told him "He has my guitar!! Call the police!!", at wich he made a sign from his head, letting me know that he got it. Well, he might of got it, but he didnt call no police.
So here we were, outside the train station, surrounded by some wierdos. They then tried to get along with us, "let's go have a drink", stuff like that. Me says: "gotta go, homeworks and stuff..gotta get my guitar home", etc. Him:"Well, i guess i'll take your guitar then..". Ofc i had to say "Ok, i'll go". The brilliant thing about that was that one of my friends had the oportunity to get far enough to run. That was the key. The wierdos got a bit scared "Let's go home", "hand these fine guys the guitar", etc. Except for one of them who was pretenidng to shake hand with me and slapped (badly) one of my friends (the orgolious one) by surprise. They insisted us to shake hands, and they let us go.

Why i sayed all that, because, i am very curious what would happen with those 3 guys if they would do that in your country. If u weren't patient enough (understandably, lol) to read all that^^ i'll brief the brief: 4 wierdos badly picked up on as playing with us and trying to steal everything we had.

I'll tell u what happens to them in Romania, after u tell me so u can make the difference! Thanx for ure patience!


E: Did I type all that? 0_0

Oh, i see
Ty for the quick reply!

"The car is choosen by the first driver of each team doing his first lap on the qualify server."

Is this for the whole championship or for each race? For example, if i want to switch to FXR at the next race, is it possible?

Nice race everyone. I really loved the fair play of NGT's and LRF's.
I was wondering if I could get a .mpr for the whole race since i forgot to save it myself

Quote from JasonJ :

The BLANK OVERFLOW is because your PC has issues and crashes. I don't think this solution is what he needs.

Well, that's what I said in my post
And those issues might be caused by Windows issues, wich can be related to some unwanted processes, wich can be closed by ending explorer.exe's process tree.
You were 100% right in the post, but it's not necessary to put me to the wall.

Oh, and i think this was my last post over here, because people feel superior, and just like to flame.

Time outs: poor network, wich i guess it's not your case.
The blank overflow message apears to me when my pc freezes. After it recovers from the drop, i lose connection to host and the blank overflow message appears.
Here's what I do: Every time turn on my PC, i open task manager, go to processes and search for Explorer.exe; Right click on it, End Process Tree; After that, go to Applications, hit "New Task" and type "explorer.exe". After I do this, my PC doesn't freeze so often (still does sometimes, it's crappy)
Should work better now :P
