Yes.

So we left and i reloaded the track on a trackday server. (DS version as NAFPRA but i have to learn how to turn the groove on, which NAFPRA does but i still haven't look at "how to do it"    )

Add  'groove_multiplier=20' to your 'profile.ini' file found at 'c:\users\uberslug\Documents\PiBoSo\GP Bikes\profiles\UberSlug\profile.ini' [replace uberslug with your username]. It will hasten groove creation.

Run a bunch of laps on the track you want to add a groove to [softer tires lay down rubber faster than harder tires but they all leave rubber on the surface].

If you added a groove to A1 Ring v2.2, go to 'c:\users\uberslug\Documents\PiBoSo\GP Bikes\profiles\UberSlug\tracks\A1 Ring v2.2\' [again, replace uberslug with your username].

You should find 'testing.grv' and 'testing.mrb'.

Copy and Paste them to your Server's Track Directory.

Rename them so their names match the track name exactly [in the case of A1 Ring v2.2] 'A1 Ring v2.2.grv' and 'A1 Ring v2.2.mrb' [*.grv is the groove file while *.mrb is the marbles file].

Restart the Server.

Your formula is correct, however, tire sizes are not exact.

Have you checked what width rim is being used?

Very nice circuit.

I agree that safety equipment on bikes and cars has, in general, allowed operators to lessen their skills [in the US fatalities continue to increase as bikes and cars get safer].

From a business perspective, safety equipment allows the stars to keep on drawing in the fee paying spectators when they [the competitors] get a bit exuberant and end up on the ground. I was a bit disappointed when Doohan didn't return to the San Marino GP Paddock at Imola [he retired instead and I had to settle with watching Criville win] after his horrendous crash at Jerez a number of rounds earlier. With the current level of safety equipment Doohan probably would have bounced back in a matter of hours.

Worked for five years at a large motorcycle dealership in the late 80s and early 90s. 80 percent of new to road riding buyers had no idea what they were getting themselves into when they wandered in off the street looking to buy a bike. The average number of miles ridden on 90 percent of the road bikes we sold was 2,000 [five years old] when they came back to sell them through our consignment program.

We used to run an ad hoc pool for the sports bikes buyers [Hurricane 600, VFR 700, CBR900RR, and Hurricane 1000]. A fellow employee bet that one customer wouldn't get a mile down the road before he crashed, the customer hit a parked car IN the parking lot. One year nine out of ten 600s came back for crash repair and we sold over 40 of them.

These types of safety devices are designed specifically for the members of society who don't have enough intelligence to keep from putting themselves in harm's way. The problem with these types of devices is that one can't fix stupid [phrase borrowed from a comedian].

Who do not possess MotoGP skills...

@Olaf: Solutions for 1 could be for Piboso to put an option(only settable by the server/event admin) in the server script so that if you crash then your out of the race. This will force riders to race more realistically instead of riding like a kamakazi rider all the time knowing that if they crash they can always respawn and carry on with the race.

This would be a welcome addition as there was at least one participant in the 20:00 CET race who took out two other participants in Marquez, not Lorenzo, style.

If the community wants people to continue to participate then something needs to be done about reckless and irresponsible hooliganism. In both races yesterday I was dead last off the line [on purpose] so if you recklessly crashed into me going into turn one in the second race you were behind me because you had crashed at least once already.

Nice work.

I don't think there is such a thing as a racing incident without anyone being at fault no?

Exactly, otherwise would be called accident.

There are no accidents, there is only negligence.

The problem is , i'm not defending lorenzo , i'm defending the POV of most of the professionnal of the motorbike saynig it was a racing incident , even dovi that suffer a lot from this crash. The second problem is , most of your arguments are , "U like Lorenzo hihihi" already say I'm a Biaggi fan and I don't know where the fuck this have to do with the incident we trying to state about , Am I wrong ?

It was a 'racing incident' which was the direct result of Lorenzo's actions even though race direction decided not to penalize him. The gravel on the track was also a 'racing incident', a direct result of Luthi's actions, and, to the best of my knowledge, did not draw a penalty from race direction even though it could have taken out all four of the leaders.

Of course , he could , if it was mower racing at 25km/h

Really? Your Lorenzo love is getting the best of you...

That's clearly why I'm angry , because it's not his fault at all , how could he see pedrosa please ? tell me

He easily could have seen someone coming if he had checked the racing line for occupants prior to returning to it.

Personnaly , I think , Lorenzo don't care about the Hawk opinion about this crash , as most of real rider statement say it is a race incident

One can be 'at fault' without there being malicious intent. If one backs out of a parking space into another vehicle one is deemed 'at fault' no matter how one tries to spin it to the authorities or the owner of the other vehicle. The only one of the three who was on the racing line was Pedrosa and it is very clear from all available angles that Lorenzo's actions led to the 'incident'.
