Should not be a problem, not had a core while testing with Nick, Nick had one when getting online but that was it, then we did a good solid test without problems :)
Was weird is on the last hairpin but right in the middle of the frickin track!!!
DD
Not had that issue online. Weird thing Beta8 is SO much more stable online when it comes to track issues, only once in a while we experience core hells online like at the weekends race. Hopefully wednesday will be problem free, otherwise something weird is going on with GPB!
Norisring? GP125? I'm ;D
#92
Grooveski #20
Both races. :)
No skin required here. I'll run Fenati's bike if that's ok - it's in my colour already. :D
#5 ;)
I see the Dorna watchdogs are out in force. Sticking between the yellow lines will be hard enough in practice but I just know those big juicy corner cutting gaps are going to start looking real tempting if I'm behind someone in a race.
I generally hate street circuits but the yellow line buffer seems to take the edge off this one.
....and must admit, I'm dying to try Macau just because it was forbidden fruit in GP500(wayyy too high a poly count).
Know I could try it any time but I'm an online junkie, only really practice when there's a race date set. :)
Im not whitelisted, help?
Im in
Bambino #95
I can enter server? :-X
Whoops sorry boys overlooked the white list setting.
Now open for everyone ::)

Edit i will use same as S80 skin
I can not get this lil fooker to go faster. I tried so many ratios and it just wont move its ass like I want???? Any suggestions on gear ratio would help, nobody was online to ask

DD
I've used the default setup and i've done 54,9...keep pushing man! this track have only four corners, you can't go wrong ;D
Val I tried default and all ratios its either I got acceleration but no top end on the straights or I can get top end and it is like a slug of the line. I tried everything inbetween, I am just not finding the sweetspot lol. And flour dont work like on a fat woman bro.
DD
Need time to try the track :'(
Track is real sweet and easy but great fun. Its the bloody gearbox for me lol.
DD
I tried all sorts, seem to get the same lap time! Currently on 16/37. If you try keep the revs 12k to 13.5k you should be about right.
And check all wheely and traction aids are off ;)
WTF are aids dude lol. How dare you insinuate I use such poo thingies lol.
Its the last 2 gears I cant get right lol If you all keep it around 110 I am ok but after that she takes forever to get over 125
Will try it with a bigger hammer that normally works.
DD
EDIT: SORRY MMA I forgot to say I will try to attend today and Sunday. Thanks

Oh yeah true! Totally forgot! Burgess kept my notepad with all the setup changes and lap times we made. It is a true pleasure working with Jeremy, such a great guy and very experienced :P
Edit: hopefully Burgess will make it to Noisring again tonight, he was a bit busy, but if he do i feel postive i can improve even more :D
Any tips against a folding front?
Quote from: Boerenlater on April 27, 2016, 03:32:44 PM
Any tips against a folding front?
Very difficult issue to give tips on for the 125 default bikes, as it is almost impossible to identify why the folds happened, i had tested to go to extremes earlier on other tracks to prevent it, but didn't really help no matter what i did. But with Default setup at Noisring i didn't have too big problems, few in chicane, but was very managable :)
i don't race from long...is this a good pace?

That's what i call a shitload of laps!!! i will for sure get a fight tonight haha!
I would also say keep the setup default as much as possible, just tweak the drivetrain. We found suspension setting much different from standard caused more folds.
Failing that.... be smoother on everyone control (seriously), don't lean so much, avoid changing direction and changing acceleration at the same time and er slow down a bit lol.
full o good ideas me.
I hate these bikes, too easy lose the front and the onboard model is very ugly ;D

Sorry! :-\ :)

Absolutely agree, what a fun event!! had a horrible practice, but all of a sudden in QP it went much better :D Pole, 2 race wins and 2 fastest laps, is that what you call hat-trick? :D
And what a start in race 2 Matty! Side by side into, midcorner and out of 1st corner, then also into 2nd corner and then i got the lead :D
Thanks for a great event guys!!! Thanks Nick for organizing and MMA for keeping server going for training :)

I would be inclined to blame the track rather than GPB.... Something is obviously amiss on that track..... I'll take a look at the race data in TrackED and see if I can pinpoint anything. ;)
I presume we are using this track again on Sunday?
Anyway... I had a great little battle with DD..... He has improved a lot(have you been practicing DD! ;D )
Had fun, just the track and probably the bike let us down, but hey... It's the taking part that matters most. ;D 8)
Thanks for the race guys and congrats to the Podium, including DD for his 1st podium I believe? Nice one mate! ;D
Thanks to Nick, MMA and Matty for hosting and admin.... You guys do a great job under difficult circumstances! ;) 8)
See you guys at the next round on Sunday! Looking forward to it! 8)
Looking forward to seeing the replay..... anyone save it?
Hawk.
PS: As I said I'll have a look at the race data and see if I can sort some issues out if it's possible to do so for the next race. ;)
Hey I saw something tonight on the pitboard I have never seen before....
+1 Lap to the next rider!!! Not the leader the next rider! OMFG at least I saved fuel by doing 5 laps less.
The second race I got knocked off coming out of turn 1 then I did a double tap accidently on the gears and blew my engine.
Sheesh.
Well done all. If someone wants to explain to me how to check the timing lines etc I am wiling to learn if it isn't rocket science.
Thanks for coming everyone it was ...... OK ;D
I leave you with this turn 1 pic tho..spectating was very interesting....
(http://i68.tinypic.com/2eb9wqv.jpg)

Cheers ma dear :D
Thanks for that MMA fast work!
Yeh if anyone wants to contend the results thats fine by me it doesnt matter too much we know who the winner is and it isn't me lol.
well done to the podium and everyone for racing and in particular thanks everyone for no-one leaving before the end.
RESPEC!
Well done Meyer, another commanding performance. :)
Now I see why folk get annoyed with the lowsides on the 125. Thought I had a handle on them but in the race when there's a bike down your snap reaction is to back off a touch and you just can't get away with that.
...and man they're touchy on fresh tyres.
A pile up(thought I was through it then a bike appeared under my front wheel) and two lowsides in the first lap of the first race saw the blue flags out by laps 2. :-[
Second race avoided the carnage and was well placed then on I think the second lap lowsided at the last hairpin. Near wore out the respawn button while half the pack passed.
Then got on, totaly lost my cool, fell off trying to pull away and had to sit while the rest of the grid went passed too.
May sweary words spoken around that point. ;)
...and the blue flags were out again. ::)
I think that is correct, in race 2 I dont remember a overtaking on DD ;) Unfortunately in the race It shows me third, but I think it was a bug.
Groovi - hehe sounds much like my experience lol.
While I think the new respawn method is better than the old one it is soooo painful to sit in the track letting everyone go past especially when the next bike seems a long way away. ::) Dont fall off is the way but nigh on impossible for me.
Nick i found the problem (I watched the full race and I never cut the first corner...) ;D
Soon i put a video its a strange "lag-bug" or something like that.
Never see this :o

WOOHOO..................My first podium, feels great, had 2nd for a bit but lost it lol. No crashes at all in Race 2 and thanks to Grooveski for the setup, it was better for my hard braking I need at times lol.
I really enjoyed both races thanks Nick and Matty and MMA for all their time and hard work.
REALLY enjoyed trying to keep you behind Hawky, great fun, I have only ridden today really but did the most laps I ever have lol.
Shame about the new track being late but thank you very much Hawk for this new one. I a sure it will be even better on Sunday now.
Sorry to whoever it was that hit my back wheel in race 2 but I had to avoid that fallen rider.
See you Sunday guys, I am out for a first place now lol.
DD
Hawk maybe it was not a timing problem look here:
I recorded the entire last lap Race 2 but the "lag or bug" (i think it is just a huge lag) is to 0:47 in the final clip there is also the freecam for understand better what happen in the final corner lol
https://www.youtube.com/v/_WsW9fQMH40
Certainly some weird stuff going on tonight.
I did see that as in the video, bikes sat in position, juddering as I drove past, looked like race was over (thought it was) and guys just parked up.
Anyway, while the track problems are not good, the action really was. It was fun with so many bikes in close company, if you lost a battle with one rider, you gained another with the next one pretty quick. The only downside being if you crashed, but I think we all learnt from race 1 and race 2 was less crashes? Seemed to be. Must check the replay when I get home.
Also I was amazed at how quick everyone was, guess it was the easiest of tracks to learn so put most riders on a level playing field. Really good to see DD pushing hard too.
Top points to Meyer of course, although I expected him to crash more ;) and Valern with a fantastic pace.
See you guys Sunday. If you can handle the power!
Not sure I can, it's a really beast.
And thanks a bunch Hawk for looking at the track and updating, you are a star mate!
Thanks guys..... appreciated. ;) 8)
I'm pretty sure I know what the problem is, but it's not something that can be fixed quickly. We do have the original 3D source files but I've yet to have a look at them to see whether it's viable to sort the issue out or not. It would be a good project for someone who wishes to try their hand at updating a track for GPB.... Any takers? ;D
Hawk.
Hawk, I haven't a clue. But if I knew what to do I would love to help. But even then it could take forever. (I run a business, work away often, run a full rc bike national and international calendar and have 2 grand kids :P).
But when there's a free minute, if you can teach me what to do I'd appreciate it.
im run on sunday

Yeah i had the same weird thing happen to me a few times, once in practice and QP and then once or twice in the races, very weird! Time stopped counting and then everyone stood still shaking a little.
Haha i even expected to crash more myself! I had set myself up to be happy if i could just go at least every 2nd lap without i would be happy lol! And yeah in Practice and Valern had amazing pace! What happened in races?
Thank you Hawk for looking into the track!
Yeh I saw that frozen lag too definitely a track problem but hey ho, we can live with it for a few fun races. I really need to start a little database with track vs known issues from now which people can also refer to for making championships etc.
Thanks to Hawk and Janau I am gradually learning more and more about track alterations and additions so will help out where I can.
Wil get the server updated to latest version later today - thanks Hawk! :)
Terrible race for me, I was more laying on the asphalt than on two wheels.
I am so looking forward to the race on the new version of the track. It was so frustrating all the quirks the last version had.
It has taken me 3 months of learning from my first ever real race in GPB to get a podium finish even if only 3rd, but it was not all my own doing. I owe that podium to you ALL for the help and patience you have had in my sorry assed riding lol. This was on a 125 so not a big triumph really but it still feels great. After a lifetime of never riding small bikes in games, it was CDX who showed me they can be fun and then racing with you guys got me the bug.
I thank you all for the time and help you have given me. This is what makes GPB what it is, the best community in the world. I wish to thank Piboso for giving us this sim, the modders for all the tracks, bikes, and apps, folks like Nick,Matty and MMA for the hosting of races and I guess old Bill Gates should get a mention as its a bloody Windows game lol. Had to chuckle thinking of that one but without him we would not have a place to race at all lol.
Well I look forward to the future of racing with you guys and hope we get the rest of the motorcycle gaming world to open their eyes and come join the fun.

EDIT: Oh and how many laps is the endurance race?

Nice speech after your first podium there mate!!
And the result was well deserved!! You sticked on the bike and that was what gave you the podium! You made it trough a race where almost no one else could!
You have come a far way from when you first started racing with us few months ago :)
Well done mate!!
Indeed a great job!
Race distance is, as of this moment, unknown. Some whisperings have the length in the region of 40+ laps but that cannot be confirmed or denied at this time. :o

Lots of fuel. Not because it is an endurance race but because the high fuel load keeps things more stable!
Apart from that only what I said before but then again I'm hardly a good advert for making a bike not fall over.

Apart from that only what I said before but then again I'm hardly a good advert for making a bike not fall over.
Well i used 6 liters and softies for last race and no problems :) but yes, more fuel temds to make this bike more stable :)
Also i think default is a great first option, you can test my setup when we are online together :)
I retire from the next race, I made clear in the videos thread that my final position in race 2 was 3th (This does not interest me but its a bug, and i want a real final ranking!) and I was almost insulted. :o
I checked it because I did not want it to happen again in the next race, so have fun.
EDIT: Add that to be called "bad loser" by DD is hilarious ... maybe i change my mind and I join just for lapped DD 3 times ... ::)

Don't be like that Blacky..... We all know the track is dodgy for timings and lap counts... I'm sure there are many other riders who could debate their final placing too but they accept what is given in the results because they realise it's only a fun race so it's no big deal. It's not like every track or race has this issue is it......
In a race like that the MMA would have to go through every rider to definitely resolve their true standings.... For a fun race like this it's just not worth the hassle mate. :)
So c'mon mate... Take a chill pill and let it drop like the rest of us have.. It's just a
fun race and there's no championship at stake.... It's not a big deal. ;) 8)

That's the spirit mate! Though the way DD is riding now I think you'll have a job acheiving that. Lol ;D
Hawk.
Ok i join... I am not very happy with some people :-X
Io was 4th if Nick does not break the engine, I admit it without any problem. ;D but "bad loser" its too much.
If DD beats me in the next race, so his podium was right. 8)
Quit your whining already. Your like a broken fuckin record. You got 3rd, you want me to beg fuckin forgiveness or something after you fucking attacked me for the system saying I was 3rd. And you really think telling me you now dislike me for it is gonna make it better and the world love BH. Get the fuck off my back. Its a fucking game!!!
Your worse than Lorenzo!!!
Dont start something you cant finish mate.
DD
Yep but i know that this is a game.. and you? :)
Now shut up, let's see who is the fastest on the track., because its a game... "bad loser"
what the fuck guys it's just a game take a chill pill
He did everything, I have only said that the ranking was incorrect. Maybe also for other riders.
Maybe because my English is not too good, but there was no malice in my posts...
Hmm seems I missed some stuff here.
while I catch up I just wanted to remind everyone that I am pretty sure the events that lead to engine failure are cumulative if not done by mistake.
By that I mean if I change down too many gears and engine breaks then that is my mistake.
But if the engine stops for no reason it may be because you have spent a lot of time during the race with revs in the red zone and it finally gives up.
So ....for an endurance race...gentleness each lap may prevail. :P

Im famous for destroying the engines (especially the 500) but with this little bike, helps a lot to use the max plugin, when the number is yellow change gear! ;D

DD, your chances are getting up for a race win in the endurance race with the smooth riding! :D
I am just going to enjoy racing with you all.
I think it was a shame what happened and the timing for the track was terrible.
BlackHeart was 3rd and he well deserved it, he crashed 6 times and still held his position, that means he was really riding hard, so he deserves the place and the respect for his riding.
DD
hi guys one little question: is it allowed to ride over the yellow line all the times? because there is no cancelled lap for this
I try to stay in the yellow lined area but after watching others cross it all the time I guess it is allowed but not sure.

Im crashed 2 times in the first lap and 2 in the rest of race, so are just 4... (maybe you have counted the replay freeze) anyway the podium does not make me happy because I have been lapped from Meyer and Valern... ;D

Unfortunately I can not find a setup for these bikes, I lose the front.
And play with the broken gamepad does not help, in race2 I hit a wall because the left stick was crazy, for now I fix it with a huge deadzone for the lean. :-\

Yes it seems we are allowed to race over the yellow lines, it does decrease the lap time quite a bit! Like DD I practiced inside the lines but on race day most were cutting, so followed suit. If all riders do the same, it makes it safer as you know where others are going to be on track.
Only thing I found is if you cut the last corner over the yellow line too much you get a missed lap. Cut a little bit and is ok. Where the demarcation line is I don't know.
So if you cut that last corner as much as you can every lap it puts you back a lap or and therefore a different place?
DD
Some recent times
(http://i67.tinypic.com/288tmog.jpg)
Also the server is now at 100% race distance which equals 47 laps. Please check your fuel consumption figures. Is it possible? :-*

Hmm, just tested and I was wrong, not that corner. I got a missed lap in 10 purposefully going over the lines, but cant find where (in practice no time is shown for that lap, just ----
More testing needed!
I try to always stay in between as it is meant to be but guess some like to get faster laps and not care about fairness lol. I will stick to between at least I know myself it is more realistic too.
DD
Oh great, now I feel like a cheater because I avoided downed riders in race 2. Cheers DD. ;)
Maybe I add these old tyres and bales here ;D

Not a bad idea NIck! Lol ;D
Lol! I remember when I first cut that corner I expected the bike to jump up on the kerbing but it just stayed level and smooth! I thought, OH!, now I know why some are going faster! Hehe. ;D
But no. Cutting the yellow lines should not have any effect on the lap times or lap count.

Cutting the first corner behind the red/white kerbing though is just unsportsmanlike and well, saaaaaad. ;)

Can the gaping surface chasm be closed Hawky? I cant figure out how to do it :-\ :'(
LOL Grooveski, I think avoiding downed bikes and cutting a corner are 2 separate things dude lol.
DD
Hawk has explained to me that the track mesh is so bad that gap cannot be closed without remaking the whole track surface which is a big job and requires track maker skills.
Don't worry about staying in between the yellow lines but I have added new obstacles at the two hairpins to prevent unsportsmanlike cutting.
So we will just run it Sunday and hope for the best. Its a fun event, try to have some. ;D
So when do we get the new track with obstacles?
DD
Hawk is adding it to the DB version and will let us know when it is ready
Quote from: doubledragoncc on April 29, 2016, 07:30:25 PM
So when do we get the new track with obstacles?
DD
Yeah, sorry guys, if it was just a case of closing that gap and re-exporting then it wouldn't be a problem, but I'm having to work from the original 3D source files which are in a terrible state and would require many full days of dedicated work to repair and put things right before export. It would be better to just start afresh and rebuild the circuit from scratch and I just haven't got the time available to do that as I'm involved in so many other projects right now, but maybe in the future unless someone else wants to do it as a track project? :)
@DD: The new track with the obstacle files will be available within half an hour.... I'll make the usual announcement via the "
Track Downloads" forum thread. ;)
You beat me to it Nick.... Your typing speed is definitely improving! Hehe! ;D

Christ this is going to be tight if its 50 laps :P
Thanks for that Boeren! Useful info!
Tyres should be ok then at 100% (47 laps)
Dunno bout fuel tho ??? at my current consumption I will need 14.1 litres!
Race length will be 44 laps I think. Will let the participants do the math. ;D
Will be a little tight on fuel maybe? I didn't chec much but what i could was around 40 laps + the loose so 40 and a bit laps with full tank
Yes it is very tight I didn't pluck the quantity from the air I made it tight so people have to think a bit :P I'm a bastard. :D

I know you are mate!! You hope i will run out and walk the last lap(s) 😉
45 min 13l of fuel....? impossible
around of 0.3l of fuel per lap....13 l of fuel is the max capacity of tank...i can make 43 laps on total....the time per lap can be around 55s ( i was maked 52,8 on trainning session and i can be constant on 53s ) in 10 min i do around of 12 laps....in 45 minuts i can make around of 56 laps....is impossible finish the race
change your setup then. Longer drivetrain maybe? Don't use the high revs as much etc etc.
Even 0.29 per lap means you will make it. That's only 0.01 to save. Easy
0,25 here
hehe nice well maybe you can take just 11 litre then!
I have not had time to test, i try now, I'm slow with these bikes, so maybe it helps to save fuel! ;D
Nick, remember people crash and that costs fuel too, if you make it too tight, a crash can mean you won't make it to the end :)
And also at the start it consumes a lot of fuel :P
Cool more stuff to figure into your strategy 8)
Anyway if no-one finishes it will be who got the furthest hehe
lol
I can easily ride in 54 all laps with 0.29 fuel... but with 1 crash 0.31 ::)

Just be gentle after a crash, no high revs, it will maybe cost a second but it will pay off in the end, little more coasting too and little more calm and smooth riding, i managed fine lap times with 0,28-0,29 consumption ever lap and with crash i had 0,30, but in my 20 lap test run (all in a row like a race) i did only one crash, so should be able to survive, otherwise the last teo laps will be a lot of coasting and half throttle :P

Sorry guys.
I have had high temps on my GPU for a few weeks but never this bad. Hit 81 degrees just being in the pits, so riding would have hit 90plus. It is an ASUS G75 laptop issue when they get a few years old and mine is running normally 16-20 hours a day.
I need to strip it and put new thermal paste on it so will be down for a week plus until I can get thermal paste and strip it down. No quick job not lol.
Hope you all had a great race and to be back up and running fully soon.
DD
Aye was fun, tricky to keep an eye on nearby bikes but loved it.
Well done Blacky
Phew a long race I have a sore stick thumb.
Usual story for me just fell too much I am useless. Was 5th the whole race it seems.
Well done to podium and Blackheart especially and thanks everyone for coming and staying!
Amazing race just 1 crash (but it was not my fault) all race i 54/55 battle with meyer for the first position... too funny! Matty perhaps had not realized that I was fighting for the first position and I found matty in front lol
But np problem mate ;D

Little more crashes for me and a hell of a lot of waiting for respawn, had amazing pace, 53 times pretty much all race! Just those stupid and annoying crashes. Losing front waiting for ages it felt like! was probably just 5-7 sec (but could have easily started without disturbing anyone) that cost me the win, anyways, fastest lap and great race leading quite a few laps after a QP i just couldn't get a good lap in.
Well not satisfied with the result, but it was a fun race anyways! :)

was fun.
unfortunately so little driver.

Great fun, i was going more or less well, until i respawned on top of a barrier >:( i went mad trying to get out of there lol....apart of 4 other crashes if i remember correctly

I did not get to practice much and only got in the low 56 mark so I would not have done to good, but could have had a fun time with Hawky lol.
I am not liking it right now, I cant even test my system for ISR and striping my laptop completely to re paste it is scarry work not lol.
Hope to see you guys soon.

To be honest I was working on the UV's for the 750GPX bike before rushing into the race at the last minute, and then when I fell off 3 times and had to wait SO long before it would let me respawn I thought "Fuck-it" I'd rather get back to working on those UV's rather than waste my time sat on my arse most of the time.... Sorry guys but Pib needs to get that respawn sorted properly rather than just going back to what it was before beta 6 rather a cheap fix in my opinion, if you can call it any attempt at a respawn fix. >:(
C'mon Pib! Get your finger out and sort this bike respawn debacle(meaning a complete failure) out properly, ie - let us edit the track min/max respawn line markers in TrackED for Christ's sake!! >:( ;)
Hawk.
Ouch my ears my ears! ;D
Agree Hawk, sorry you had a nightmare. Got most of us that did, bloody heckamabob!
Anyway hope you come for the next one. A week without pain....is a week wasted!

Sorry it's such a burden :P :-[
The only possibility (waiting a fix from Piboso) is use bigger tracks.
I have learned during practice to avoid the loss of the front with the 125s, my "trick" was; not immediately raise the bike after the curve, but gradually increase the gas, this made me slow down by 0.5-1 second, but with no risk of falling. In 44 laps my only fall was hitting a bike that was remained into trajectory in the chicane, can not be avoided, but fortunately I only lost 10 seconds :)

This is interesting! ;D
A good point Blackheart.
These races have made me much smoother still on the controls and the point you make about not lifting the bike so quick is THE fundamental problem in the engine so far.
Maybe if PiB can find the cure to the VR bodging every change in velocity (be that speed or direction) the sim is finished!.......well finished enough for us to move on to the next major problem at least!
I wonder if we have fed back enough about this one MAIN problem to PiB?????
Well done Blackheart! ;)
Sorry for the no-show guys. Was just setting up for the race when a pal phoned with freebie movie tickets and tempted me up and out the door.
I think this is one reason I am always a bit slower than you guys what BH said about throttle roll on. I use a real throttle so it is far slower to move then a thumb stick or trigger, whichever you guys use, so my throttle control is as on a real bike, it is far smother, plus as I use a steering system that requires 150mm of movement to your 5-10mm I have smoother steering. This means I will probably not get as fast as you guys due to the fact I am making realistic movements and not the ultra quick movements of a game-pad. I was really worried about it but to be honest, if I really flick my bars I can change direction as quickly but with no jerkiness.
If I TRY to use a game-pad, I wont make the first corner!!! lol
Back to your last race. I watched the replay as I fixed my laptop, no way I was gonna wait 2 weeks. So I spent my last money on Cool-Master E1 Thermal paste and tore my baby apart. am putting a thread up to show results. Opps off track again, so the race, brilliant riding guys. I was well impressed with how you all managed the first corner this time. Blacky you would have lapped me 5 times the way you rode mate lol. Thanks for the replay too. Nice to be able to watch a race even if you could not attend.
Look forward to the next race.
