I don't think there is anything wrong. It looks as though you have both a Trainer loaded and the Trainer enabled. I have two virtual crash test dummies riding along with me when I have both the check box enabled and a file loaded. If I remove the file and leave Trainer enabled there is just one rider.

Post by: uberslug on January 21, 2018, 02:04:39 PM
First off, let me reiterate that I think 'Trainer Mode' is %^$&#*@ AWESOME!

After doing more than 100 laps of various tracks since this time yesterday, I have come to the conclusion that I must learn how to go faster than my Trainer so I can see where I am going. If I am slightly slower than my trainer then I can't see at all since he intentionally blocks my view [I find his behavior to be quite rude as he is always barging up the inside when I turn in the slightest bit late, passing through me as if I wasn't there, and out braking me if I back off the slightest bit early].

@PiBoSo, your work on the trainer is fantastic. If, however, you could find it in your heart to make the trainer more 'Casper' like when he is less than a certain distance away [say one bike length ahead and one width to the side] it would be greatly appreciated.

Also, is it possible to share trainer files so the likes of Wimp and Manu could run SuperBike Schools?

Looking great thanks Pib!

Quick question - which files should I copy across in order to keep my view settings/controller settings/Max HUD settings etc?

The files ("calib" - controller calibration, "controls" - key bindings, "profile" - graphics settings, aids, view and so on) are in your (documents/piboso/gpbikes/profile/"your profile name"/)

I would recommend that you open the your previous file with "notepad" and the new one and copy/paste over the corresponding settings. If you just copy the entire file you might screw things up if there are changes made from the previous version. Another thing (and I learned this the hard way) if you have disconnected your controller and then reconnect it, windows can assign a new "name" for it and that can be different from the previous name. Example from the "calib" file:

5

59387840-B3D0-11E4-8001-444553540000
SideWinder Force Feedback Wheel (USB)

{

PS: Maxhub is not Piboso thing, since it's a 3rd party plugin made by the brilliant HornetMaX". But you will find the the settings file in (documents/piboso/gpbikes/), but you have to wait until Max had time to update the plugin to GPB 13.

PS2: I always back up my old install and then make a clean one. Then I copy over the setting from the previous one.

ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP OF THE ORIGINAL FILES! That way if you mess up, you can always revert back to files that are working properly.

Cheers,

/David "Gonzo" Boda #46

I ended up copying the files in the Docs/Piboso/GP Bikes folder but going on what you've just said David I think i'll drop the v13 files back in and just find the settings you mentioned. Thanks again...LOVING trainer mode! Even if he does get in the way a bit  :o 8)

Love the trainer thank you Piboso for the lastest update.
The 2 trainers on track at once is great,a stroke of genius if you meant to do it.
You have just invented the best AI ever can I have 2 more or 4 more bikes and then we have a offline 
race with riders at the same level as you , the closes racing ever.
Just a thought when you crash would it be possible for the ghost to carry on with the same lap when you go past the next check point
instead off waiting until you cross the finish line.
Thanks for all your hard work.

Today's NAFPRA race went off [pretty much] without a hitch.

Restarting Practice caused me to start on the track with a lap time of 1.64 seconds and a lap count of somewhere around -356857085. Seemed odd, but, okay.

Minimal bouncing at the Starting Grid.

I don't think anyone was DSQd when going to the grid.

In both races the Race Leader did not win [miscounting of laps for the leader].

I had a few instances where my pit board was not showing up until lap three or four.

Riders joining while others were on the track did not seem to cause any freezing issues.

Will try another race next weekend.

Can we swap Trainer files with each other so we could ride against another rider, one who is wimp fast lol?

Can other bike trainers be used ie: A GP500 trainer file while on same track but with a Moto3?

When initialising (L/R) rider lean, the butt now moves away from neutral position before the torso/head does.
This is a pic from beta12 (both riders are leaning slightly left):

The trainer will always keep track of your best lap on that specific bike on that specific track. To remove it you need to go to Documents>Piboso>gpbikes>profile>trainers. In there you can see all the autosaved training file laps, which are all your fastest laps. If you delete the file there it will be gone in game and you will have no time set as a ghost.

Post by: doubledragoncc on January 24, 2018, 02:13:19 PM
Can the trainer be set so you could collide with it, ie make it so you MUST go round it or crash. This would help teach avoidance and how to be aware of others on track?

Not easy I think. For example, what happens when you cross the line and the trainer appears at more or less the same position where you are ?
Title: Re: GP Bikes beta13
Post by: teeds on January 24, 2018, 04:06:54 PM
And the trainer will not react, to say a move up the inside, and will just wipe you out, not like real racing at all and probably most annoying. Only well coded AI will do this job.

As is found in many other ghosts in other racing games, and as has been asked for, it would help to have optional transparency based on distance and a ghost lead/trail time setting.

Post by: speedfr on January 24, 2018, 09:57:15 PM
To add my 2cents to this story of the Ghost Rider since the trainer is out (beta 13) i think that Teeds idea of optional transparancy for those who wants is a good idea.

And what DD actually wants is AI pilot i guess.
But a good AI is hard and lots of work to develop. That always been a main Achilles' heel on every sim game.
As HornetMax said, if we go close enough to the last position passing the line, it will result in a big crash of the pilot, the trainer continuing is lap as recorded.
And, groove stuff is there for that, when you want to work a track, you gonna pass exactly at the same place on each curve/corner (at least trying to) in order to repeat and obviously upgrade your time.
So, if the trainer which is me on my best lap, is bugging me on the exact place i want to go, it's not a trainer anymore, it's a riders that compete with me, not the same objective and, imho, that was not Piboso idea.

And if what Teeds wants, meaning a see-through trainer (as most of the software) that could become not transparent at all on a simple slider in Settings, everybody will be happy, no ?

As I said, my 2 cents... ;)

Bad idea if you ask me. Would ran you up the ass like a bulldozer because the ghost does not have situational awareness.

He said making AI is quite simple (fo his level of course) but the hardest thing is to make competitive fast AI, especially with gpbikes pure simulation system !

To add my 2cents to this story of the Ghost Rider since the trainer is out (beta 13) i think that Teeds idea of optional transparancy for those who wants is a good idea.

And what DD actually wants is AI pilot i guess.
But a good AI is hard and lots of work to develop. That always been a main Achilles' heel on every sim game.
As HornetMax said, if we go close enough to the last position passing the line, it will result in a big crash of the pilot, the trainer continuing is lap as recorded.
And, groove stuff is there for that, when you want to work a track, you gonna pass exactly at the same place on each curve/corner (at least trying to) in order to repeat and obviously upgrade your time.
So, if the trainer which is me on my best lap, is bugging me on the exact place i want to go, it's not a trainer anymore, it's a riders that compete with me, not the same objective and, imho, that was not Piboso idea.

And if what Teeds wants, meaning a see-through trainer (as most of the software) that could become not transparent at all on a simple slider in Settings, everybody will be happy, no ?

As I said, my 2 cents... ;)

Like I suggested here: http://forum.piboso.com/index.php?topic=5630.0 (http://forum.piboso.com/index.php?topic=5630.0)

Exactly.  ;)

But as far as i know, nobody ask for AI mate in GP Bikes.
And if we go to pure realism, there's no trainer as well as no ghost...

This is so wrong. I do not want AI!!! I want to practice against the trainers of real people from GPB community. I do not get to go online a practice much so this would help me get used to other riders styles.

I'm glad it's "so wrong" DD but i said "I guess" and that's what i understood from your words.

But, hey, don't get all shaky about it, it's a discussion and many thinks that this trainer should have the property to go from black to clear.
And one more time, it should satisfy everybody's whishes.

Anyway, developping a pertinent AI on GP Bikes will be very hard if we want to have something realistic ie having a human behavior.

About including in our own GP Bikes the trainer of somebody else, that is a good thing and as far as i understood, it's possible.

PEACE !!

I am wondering whether it makes sense to practice 'racing' against riders who are merely doing their best lap times. One will not learn very much about racing if the 'competitors' one is practicing against aren't reciprocating.

What a pain tried joining Jerez Moto 2 server and I have not got past the second corner without a core crash.
Have not had problems like this before guess I have to wait for the next update and try again.

No matter what I did to fix it, one of my six servers just would not allow anyone to connect without causing a core crash. The other five servers all worked just fine. I suspect I did something during the installation or the set up that has caused the issue. I don't think there is any reason to throw out the baby with the bath water when it comes to connecting to servers. Have you tried other servers and gotten the same results?

Constantly crash when trying to join any server, even w stock bikes. Totally reinstalling (incl. Registry cleaning); setting process priority to High; as Admin -- nothing helps.
Anyway i believe in Piboso, that now he will more concentrate on netcode (i believe the problem on the client side), while im fighting w myself on track :)

Liking the new 2d overlay in VR, I can now at least see when someone chats in the game now, can't read it but that's a HMD res issue. Trouble is Max's hud plugin now also disappears when the 2d overlay does. Anything I can change to fix this?

Also the start DQ bug now is fixed, nice one  ;D

Hi,
Thank you piboso for this new update.
I really like the trainer.
I installed the game today and try victoria and stock murasama, full tanks, hard tyres etc.
It was really good. After about 15 laps i try my old settings, 10liters, qualy tyres, higher top speed, and i noted that the bike became very unstable, not only at high speed that is normal with less fuel, but in curve the front viber until the fall, i never noted that thing before because i never ride full tank since many years. Perhaps qualy tyres are in the equation, i will do some test.
Thank you very much.

Just thought I'd post some server stats running Victoria with around 20 people. That's some serious upload spikes every few seconds, server bandwidth was on high -

We generally had no problems, the race ran well too, great to see.

When you add the slipper clutch dialogue to the garage for the next beta could you also add the dialogue required for steering damper set-up?

Yeah the racing we did the other night (01.02.18) was really good. A couple of moments of lag but nothing that stopped us racing

GPbikes has been really frustrating for me in the past, with cores, netcode and rideability. I missed the beta 12, but beta 13 has improved nicely compared to previous versions I used.

I was aware that you could ride on a wet track, but never knew it could rain as well ;D Don't know how long ago this was implemented, but just discovered it while riding offline ;)

The trainer is a nice addition to GPbikes, but when used for improving your laptimes, it would help me if the trainer turns into a ghost when riding close to it, so your view doesn't get blocked.

Personally one feature I would love to see even more is an opponent sound slider. The sound of other bikes in the vicinity is really loud, making it difficult to judge when to shift, or hear if the rear tire has grip under hard braking when you want to turn in. (This caused some problems for me last test races at victoria).

Besides that it would be nice if the dashboard is working in replays and that dynamic surface can be used on all the tracks without causing problems, that we don't need a LAA hack and that netcode gets even better and cores belong to the past :)

One question, is it possible to change replay camera's on a bike without causing problems going online?

Anyway, I really appreciate the development team/person and modders for the work that has been done and content that is created! For the first time in years I really enjoy GPbikes! Keep up the good work!
