in to win :P

if anyone is willing to share a good setup with me, i would be very grateful.  ;)
as much as i can see that this bike should love this track, i have an ideal time of 1m46s, but in practice i am struggling to crack 2'00min, too much crash boom bang.... ::)

edit - got one, and testing it now, cheers to vin!  8)

been doing a few laps on the A1 ring server, but my ping is drastically high - will have to forget online sessions until i sort some better bandwidth from a new ISP .... rather be late to the party, than spoil it for everyone else...  :P  ;D

Very admirable Bugsy.  Hope to see you online soon tho  ;)

Have moved you to the wildcard position rather than kick you off anyhooo. 

Might not be able to make it tonight..

Got some weird internet/pc problems i can't seem to figure out why it acts up.

Hope to see you tonight though! :)

Oh man I hope you make it bud.  ;)

reset your router

tested a lot of different setups and came to the conclusion that the gp800 is not a bike for me.
ill not start, sorry nick!

 But :'( you are in the top ten fastest JJ! 

Shame mate but if you don't like it that's how it is.  :(

I look forward to your FZ race  ;D

I did test to restart the router, didn't help.. seems to be some local problem from the company i think..

Maybe the company does not know the importance of you being at the race tonight.  >:(
I suggest shouting on the phone followed by crying and finally begging. :P

SERVER RESET, WHITELIST IN FORCE, UN-OFFICIAL PRACTICE BEGINS - 30 MINUTES TO OFFICIAL EVENT START


Oh and the sun has come out there  ;D

that crash was so obviously going to happen in the first lap at that hairpin



you just brake extra extra early on the first lap to not put the guys in front out of the race (also keeping in mind that you have probably a lot more fuel than usual).


but anyway, im not blaming anyone, hopefully the next races will be better.

3 jumpstarts while I didn't do anything  :-[

You should've stayed, there were two restarts.

just move a little bit back in your box before the start and you wont jumpstart.

nah, got better stuff to do.
kind of lost hope after that second corner....
plus restarts are always unfair for the leader(s).

Sorry it hit you, but they'd already called a restart.  :-[

You do not win the race at the first corner ...

Great first race of the season Nick  ;)

Great to be in the race, didn't see much from the back but it was fun anyway.  ;D
One of the restarts was due to me, caught by the pause after the reds are all lit up.
Sorry about that, I will know better next time.

Was having a lovely race in 2nd then of course one slip and the bike carries on down the hill for at least a full minute on its own.

KERRRAP!

>:(

still smiling  :) JUST.

What happened YAN????

Well done Fin, Matty and Teeds!  Awesome results!

---

and special congrats to Jester on his great first race - ridden like a pro.

---

Sorry Boeren I don't know what u did shame u couldn't make the test race yesterday where we did some practice starts. We will do some more try find out whats going on OK

---

People need to take part here in the club spirit which means including everyone in the racing, pro or noob. If you cant do that don't come.

I enjoyed very, pity that having the wrong setup, I had too much engine braking (I had to get used to me, lap after lap), and I am made fooled by Patrick and Nick the position  ;D

If you want to do a mini video of the race (I need the full replay)  ;D

I won my first race in GPBike.
Hurray now I need only a beer.
Congratulations to the podium and all driver to :)

You know you can change the engine braking while in race  ::)

A post race video would be great mate. Please get my moments of disaster in - the runaway bike and you spawning in front of me lol.

Will post up the replay after I have my cup of tea to calm down . :)

Really well done fin ! 1st win must be something special!

will not think that there was a slim chance it could of been me hehe

Quote from: Blackheart on July 19, 2015, 08:29:39 PMYou do not win the race at the first corner ...

Exactly, that's why you take it slow in the beginning.


I hate this track anyway, so it's ok.



Maybe put me as a wildcard, though. This is not really what I expected/hoped it to be.



Congrats finpower

Well what were you hoping/expecting? Maybe we can improve something?

Results will be posted once an anomaly is worked out for 2nd place

I am the first to go very quietly trying to avoid accidents at the beginning, Patrick (I think I still have to relate to the replay) made me fall immediately but not the race is damaged, these things happen when you are in many  ;D

@Nick i know I never use it, so I did not know that was key  ;D

Since it's been a long time that I've been in a race, I had the delusional imagination that proper ('realistic') races are possible now (after all the different championships).

Maybe if you actually would be out of the race after one crash, it would change things...


I appreciate and thank you for your work but I'm afraid there is nothing you can do.


...I'm probably just frustrated that races are basically still as chaotic as they've always been.

(http://i58.tinypic.com/10x6d5s.png) Set this up on your controller (I use d-pad) then you can change Modes and change mode levels - EB Engine Brake/ TC - Traction control etc etc..  Only on bikes fitted with it of course

Hahaha yes mate still the same   :P - there are many original members like yourself who I see have their spirits broken. Hopefully they can be revived! Maybe with B7 - don't expect too much then you wont get disappointed but you might get happily surprised!

My rule is to take the tools we have (bikes/tracks/racing etc) and just try to make the best of them for fun. Adapt and Overcome is the old Recon platoon saying. Besides I aint got time to bleed  ;)

Link to replay take, Nick thx as always  ;)

I do not know that he(it) it passed in 4 tours of the end. I had more than a minute early(ahead) of the second in most connection with the waiter(server), it's a pity I had a very good rhythm of running(race).

My English is terrible, but I did not understand anything  ;D

Yan Put the link to your helmet, (skin thread) pls for the race video  ;)

Yans game closed unexpectedly not even a core report just shut. I have it once or twice before but not in a race yet.

Unlucky for Yan, lucky for the rest of us hehehehe.

Sorry Yan I know you can laugh about it.  ;)

QuoteMalchanceux pour Yan chance , pour le reste d'entre nous hehehehe .

Désolé Yan je sais que vous pouvez rire. ;)

Looking at the replay, it was not counted the lap number 13 (no time scored) why I lost a position without being surpassed by no one ... this is a bug?  :o

EDIT: In lap later, they are added together (I think) ... wtf?

(click on pic for bigger)
(http://i59.tinypic.com/10377nr.png) (http://i59.tinypic.com/10377nr.png)

Yeah. Something was wrong with the counting. I was in fourth or fifth at the finish line, but did not overtake no one instead of blackie, but was in 8th position for most of the race.
@blackheart, sorry for the crash in first corner, but you did dive in it with a very strange line and cut me while I was already turned in, so there was not much to do for me. Thought for a moment I could get through, but hit then the last inch of your back wheel anyway...
For me all those restarts are very stressful, after third, did a lot of mistakes for 2 or 3 laps, lost confidence and, btw, should have practiced with full gas.  ::)

Anyway, was fun!

;D No problem Patrick, I made it so the first corner to leave space in the corner, but unfortunately you have tried to pass me on the other side  ;D

@Nick I edited the race ... and Nick OMG!!! I had no idea what had happened, The bike that was going to be alone for a very long time  >:(

I am almost glad to be crashed in last corner of the last lap, giving the position  ;D

When ready the video I put it here, I think earlier in the evening  ::)

EDIT: I explained myself badly, my position is right on arrival, but the replay will not understand anything  :o

Yeh ruined my race, particularly as I had practiced a lot and was quite strong (for me) there.  But then again serves me right for falling.

And yes Patrick I agree - having to restart upsets concentration a lot which is why I don't like to do it. But for me it is just too unfair for people to have done a lot of practice, come to the event and then not get a race because of what is essentially a bug. For now we must make as much fun as the 'tools' allow.  ;) I expect at least one restart per race so I am rarely disappointed and sometimes pleasantly surprised.

Nick you already have images with ranking qualifying and the race? So I put the right information in the video  :)

as a matter of interest, and still a while before i can watch the replay, what is a good lap time for this circuit?
while still struggling to tame the insane power of the Duke to get a good time in, i've so far managed a 1m48 with the RSA250, not a perfect lap, but i could keep that up for a race distance... i think  ;D

@Blackheart - there is a discrepancy with the positions mainly 2nd and 3rd. Maybe with some others too. I need to watch the replay today

@Capeofgoodhope - no idea for the 250 but if you use that motonline link I sent you you can look at average laptimes.

---

Observation of interest: All the Pre-event Practice was done at an Air temp of 24^oC, with track temperatures fluctuating 26-28^oC in Cloudy conditions.

For the race the clouds dispersed and a lot of sun was there, Air temperature remained at 24^oC whilst the black track tarmac rose to 37^oC. All stuff to check on race day in the Event Details panel and on screen. Big impact on tyre temperatures, pressures, and the 'feel' on track.

It's these little attention to detail in the game design that makes this a truly superb sim. We have a lot to be grateful for I think  8)

just checked it, cheers - need to shave off 3 seconds to claim top spot... challenge accepted!  8)

Nearly everyone had a strange first sector at least once (probably running wide turn 1 missed checkpoint).
See attachment.

@Blackheart - Provisional results are in the other attachment places need confirming I will also look today

I do not understand what is on my lap number 13  :o  3'12.943     ::)  I changed bikes and I took a bicycle?  ;D

Seriously I do not understand   ???

EDIT: Here's my lap 13  :o I sped up to do before, but you see that I never go out from the track

I am unable to select some riders in the replay - although I can see them the cameras wont lock them. It is oddness all around.
I just watched the whole race from teeds perspective on FREE and the following occurred:

T+10s - Matty leading from start Teeds 7th
T+4m30s - Teeds passes Matty 6th
T+6m25s - Matty passes Teeds 7th
T+9m58s - Teeds passes Matty 6th
T+10m 01s - Matty passes Teeds 7th
T+10.58 - Teeds passes Matty 6th
Teeds passes 2 fallers
T+18m 11s - Teeds passes me (remounting runaway bike fro 2nd grrr)4th
T+ 20m 20s - Teeds passes a faller
Yan drops out 2nd
T+25m - Teeds laps a Patrick 

Difficult to ascertain those positions but the facts say Teeds 2nd, Matty 3rd as I see it.
As usual 24 hours from yesterdays Race start to contend it  ;D

Great results either way.

Yeh don't worry Blackie most of us had a lap time like that the important thing is the lap was counted as a lap.  Probably this track needs looking at again for sector positions etc. The NC version (Dynamic) is probably more used and tested but we don't want any of that Dynamic-ness here do we (Meyer!) hehe

I had a 27 on my bike. But i doubt i was in 2nd.

No Teeds grabbed 2nd when Yan pulled out not when er lapping you  ;) Thanks I will amend my post a bit

However!  ;D

Here are the highlights of the first race of the season, have fun!  :P


P.S. The white Stoner (27) skin its FinPower  ;)

Sweet my favourite part 1.30-1.45 - fifteen seconds of 1st place glory. After that rear end slide I increased my TC from 2 to 3. Love how you can do that.

Also you see some of the Teeds/Matty battle.

But I must make a video with my runaway bike in to ease my broken heart hehe.

Thanks Blackheart  ;)

I did not put your bug, because it is the worst thing that can happen in a race, and this I think you would have won easily  ;)

I'm more than happy to accept 3rd. I did think that teeds had passed me. Well done mate :)

You are a super man Matty and 3rd is still an awesome result.  My podium time will come one day hehe.

Scroll down in the rider selector. Most riders are listed multiple times and only one works.


I wish replays would not be laggy so that we could actually have some proper onboard footage (from other riders).



And, yeah, the bike riding itself bug really needs to be fixed.

I know only in Germany is blocked, now I invent something  ;D

So, here's the download of my video for German users, the quality is slightly lower, I apologize, for the next races I will be more careful with soundtracks  :-[

Download: VIDEO LINK (https://www.dropbox.com/s/ewvliqp11y6ql0g/GP%20Bikes%20-%20GP800%20Championship%20-%20Round%201.mp4?dl=0)

hi guys
guess i'm still finding out more about the do's and dont's of this sim. after downloading the race replay yesterday, my game was crashing every time i tried to watch it. then i found that i now keep getting a data mismatch when trying to have any practice session with this profile.
changing to another profile sorted it, but does anyone know what the cause might be?
i have the latest club skin pack installed, so don't know what it could be....
sorry this isn't the ideal place to ask such stuff, but i thought seeing as it started with the race replay, lol.....  :P

That's odd CapeofDoom,
If it all works fine with a different profile (including the replay??) then nothing is wrong except the Profile in C/Documents/Piboso/Profiles.

If the problem started with the replay file where did you unpack and put it?

i unpacked it straight from my download folder into the game replays folder (in my case, inside the game folder)
now the funny thing is my next profile is doing the same thing, after changing the bike and skin, nothing to do with the replay this time. first sign is a huge fps drop while in the menu screen, i'm talking average 5 fps - and when i restart the game, and try to start a race, on the screen where it says 'connecting' it suddenly gives a data mismatch error.
i thought this was only an online error?
still trying things out, to see if i can see what's what...
meanwhile, back at the A1 Ring, i parked the 250 Aprilia in the back of the garage, and ventured out with the Ducati again, and my times are steadily improving, at last - man, the concentration levels required are insane, lol  ;D

Yes which is why my consistency is poor I have to build up concentration levels.  ::)

You could try rename Bike/Tracks/Rider folder then create new ones. Move stuff into them a bit at a time - I suggest leaving the paints until you have it working with all bikes and tracks then add in the bike/rider paints until you find error.

Just a quick suggestion.
