Spa Francorchamps

[Napalm Nick]

I remember the great Hawkster did some work on Spa for our Owners Club races earlier this year and it is a great track.

However, there is still a timing problem I believe to be on the 4th (last) sector. I just did 9 timed laps there and only 3 times were posted. I swear I never went wide/off track/ outside the racing limits there although a couple of them might have been falls that caused it but even so that leaves 4 or so laps unaccounted for.

and I cried a bit because one was my fastest lap for the Hotlap server 

Anyway I have got over it with some jelly and ice cream, and just wondered if someone with the suitable skills can add 'having a look at it' to their to-do list sometime please.

Thankee you lovely bunch.

In general, it's not a track issue, it's just the server going nuts. Restart the server, problem gone. For a while.

Are we sure though ?- I restarted the server just before I joined it this last time (because no hotlap data was being sent at all). After this reset data was sent again OK. There is something odd going on in that sector because sometimes a yellow flag is shown randomly too? Falls in the pits put you out on track at respawn and just funny little things like that.
And there was that cufuffle in the races where people (mainly SuperT) got shown blue flags constantly.
Shame because it is a great track and I am really keen to see how the B8 uphill/downhill/lean physics changes improve areas there (especially Eu Rouge  ))
Wish I knew more about this track stuff really hate to ask

I've double checked it Nick,  but I cannot see anything out of the ordinary. Maybe try using the NDS version as a comparison test to see if you get the same problems with the NDS version as you have been having with the current DS version your using on server.

OK mate will do.
Thanks for checking

Falls in the pits put you out on track

Uh, that's usually a sign something is wrong with the declaration of the pitlane (pit start/stop lines and/or object naming). Hawk ?

Yeah... Sorry. I didn't look at the surfaces definitions as I was concentrating on seeing if there was anything wrong with the timing or check markers..... Rushing I guess. Lol 

Just checked again...... The pit-lane surfaces have not been named correctly; pits and pit-lanes are currently being treated as main track surface.

I'll have to contact Janau about that because I think he is the only one with the source scene files? But I'll check out the database and see first.

Agree that something is amiss with lap timing even off line with spa as i have noticed it several times in the past

[janaucarre]

im on guys,  i rebuild some kerbs to,  will post it today,  i think about 1 or 2this afternoon

[Napalm Nick]

Wow Janau, thank you so much really appreciated.

Thanks also Hawk, Max and H and all.

work done,  export is working.
Changes:
pitin,  pitout,  race off,  renamed the pit roads
last kerb rebuild,  first and the famous S at the beginning are rebuild and two at the S after the long straight

Wow look forward to trying it Janau thank you!
I wait Hawker to release it! 

[janaucarre]

i forget to make little things so,  now it export,  i hope the last time today.
I noted problem to apply a texture on the road with the white line each sides,  so i applued a texture without and build white line. i hope i use the right format for it (16bits) if no another export will be done.

[Napalm Nick]

its all magicians work to me. 

But thanks!
