Please confirm from the below list I know it is worth putting the server on. This time I intend to use a whitelist to keep the riff raff out who might induce jumpstarts and cores lol.

We will use the saved tyre and qualifying results data so we will have a little warm up then straight into the race.

I don't think it will work because you do not have a qualifying time already but I will see what I can do.

I will need your race number

We all have the same issue :P

As it was my first race in 6 years I forgot how the procedure is at start of the race. So I am in warmup and it is now over, when the race is going to start do we get a notice to go to track from the garage/pits or what? Or do we just ggo to track and wait?

Sorry but its been a long time I am a noobie again lol

Hi Napalm,
Bambino: #95

Thanks!  ;)

The reset after the fall is a big improvement in my opinion.

Since Beta 7 there has not been ONE moan about respawning and causing the pack to crash. Some will argue that if you fall its tough luck but I am more compromising than that.

I think it is still a work in progress and can be finer tweaked (allow the rider behind to be closer before locking out a respawn in particular) but ultimately having respawn where the bike ends up, being the best result (may not eve be possible who knows) as discussed and finally proposed in depth here  (http://forum.piboso.com/index.php?topic=2584.0).

I fell from 2nd place yesterday and had to wait ages for the whole pack to pass and I just had to tell myself its my own bloody fault for crashing! But the urge to Rage-quit was still quite strong lol!

If you can respawn where the bike crashes (like real ish) that would still be our preferred solution I reckon.

I got kinda stressed out worrying about being in the way and taking other riders down by not being able to respawn and then if I did it would be in front of some poor sod? It should not be so much a time issue but a placement one, just respawn on the side of the track and not in the middle of the riding line lol.

Hi DD,

at the end of Warmup (when the last bike on track has completed their final lap not when the timer reaches 0) everyone is returned to the pits.

The session then changes to PRE RACE and that is the time to check you have your race setup on and get to the grid. Pre Race only lasts 2 minutes so don't hang around.

The 2 minute timer (before the lights come on) may not expire if everyone is ready to go (last man formed up on grid). So keep concentrating and focus on the lights at all times.

Hope this helps keep asking questions it is a good reminder for us all  :)

DD

This did used to happen but sometimes the edge of the track is the racing line and KABOOM!

discussed much  ;)

Edit: Oh and it s not a time issue as such now it is a vicinity issue which mean you really cannot spawn into anyone so no worries.

Fearing someone may hit your downed bike is natural but happens IRL so Im happy with that. Besides we can all see it now and don't fear it will suddenly jump to a different position  ::)

Thanks for the info Nick

Thanks to you ALL for getting me started back into online racing. I had a great time even with the issues, but you guys are great.

DD

No worries, ultimately I think we are all bonded together by the undying desire to make this game work. ;D

I can try to make it tonight for sure!

Good!

---

We can  do some practice starts on the GPBOC 2 server too if anyone wants to. Just come about 8.30CET and we will do some.

The going to track from pits problem is one I posted about many moons ago with the idea of adding a noise (klaxon, siren etc) to warn you to get out there before it starts. Not sure if Piboso implemented it or not, as someone always seemed to hear it, but I never did.
If anyone does hear it please mention it on the forum.

He did! There is a klaxon and it makes me jump out of my friggin chair sometimes!

But I didn't notice it so much until I turned the bike engine noises down (allowing me to turn the general volume up!)

I have just discovered that if using the RESUME function on a server then if someone has core.exe on the grid they WILL NOT be able to rejoin.

With this in mind (not much chance of no-one having core) we would be better to have a little 15 minute qualify tonight before the race and not use this function. Shame but until core is fixed .......

Back to the simple stuff lol.

1st post updated with program

Does this mean we get fresh tires or still whats left from the first session?

PS I nervous lol

15min Qualify. Thats going to be intense :D

Just a little bit of controversy(well, maybe for some. Hehe)...... Is this an 18 lapper like yesterday,  or more this time?  ;D

Bring on the protests! Hehe   :o ;D

No seriously, I'm happy with another 18 lapper, but a 24 lapper would be good for me.... but maybe with the fragility of the servers right now we'd better air on caution and stick with the 18 laps?

I'll shut up now....  8) :-X

Sorry we lost you Adalgood it makes me sad but we have to stick by the rules.  :'(

Next time !

PS: I am out and spectating. My bike had turned into a crazy bucking bronco and it only worked down the pitlane  :( What with the stresses of getting here ha I sit and drink beer and valiums.

GREAT RERUN! never got into my 1.26 pace from yesterday, but a steady 1.27 pace when i got settled down after first few chaotic laps :D

We had some great first laps there Nick, stormin' trough the pack from behind :D but then you disappeared?  :o I picked up the pace and went on to catch up with the front runners :D GREAT RACE!

PS: was helped a little bit by some fast riders problems, so i could go for the win.

Thanks everybody for a great race!! and congrats to Toomes and Nuovaic for the podium and to Vin for the crazy race laptime :D

Very funny race! But I have no idea of my true position, unfortunately I had a "new" bug that I will show you (it's fun ...) and a lap not counted.

But good battles with all the drivers  ;D

thx Nick and all riders ;)

Didn't check them.
Had the impression I barely got into the low 27s. The last few laps were complete shit lol Couldn't control the wobble.

Anyway, nice race.
Looking forward to the next one.

Well you had fastest race lap of 1.26,3 :P that is what i mean haha :D so some crazy laps you must have had :)

Was a great race, mucho enjoyable. I also got terrible wobbles, not seen them before. Dont know what caused them.
Congrats to Meyer and Toomes, great job!

And Nick, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE RE-RUN!! was so pissed off at myself and the game yesterday when i got the jumpstart, after so many hours on the server and then it ends before the start haha!

Today it was much better even though my fucking Rookie mistake in the start! :D

Bad news I have no replays on my PC or on the server only 10mb worth today (about 4 minutes). If anyone has it please post a link and share your CORE REPLAY length setting. 
It recorded 1.4 Gigabytes yesterday and 10Mb today lol.

pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff    f

Thanks Nick for a nice event.  :)

Worst race ever for me haha, pretty rusty after months no riding. For sure im not one of the fast guys , but i've done it better before lol  ;D

Congrats to podium !  awesome fast laps guys.

Nick i was behind nuovaic in final lap  :o  but i think also vin my same problem  :-\

Thanks Nick for hosting and the hard work.

Thanks to all of you for the race. I learned a lot. I am sorry I slowed right down at lap 10 as I forgot to wear my glove for my right had due to an accident and ended up not having any feeling lol. Well it dont get more real lol, now I know how it is in a race online thanks to you all.

I have a hard time with other bikes around me, the motors are so loud it is a bit confusing, I guess you all got used to it by now though.

I cant roll me bloody cigs with me hand lol, tooo fookin funny. It actually feels like it is when I ride in real life so I actually like it!..................I know, I'm a sick puppy lol

Once again, thanks to you all for the bes fun I ever had in GP Bikes.

NOOOOOO! was looking forward for the race replay! :( DAMN! but yeah i don't think i ever passed neither Blacky or Vin with a lap?

I only got onboard live replay 16GB lol

DD

Wow!

Thanks for the event Nick. Was a lot of fun. Sorry to nuovaic for taking him out during a crucial part. :P. Blue flag was just bit confusing :O. I also got very bad wobbles towards the end though :/. I didn't get the chance to check my tyres but I don't think that could've been the issue as I had Hard/Hard.

Congrats to Meyer for the  win.... Nice one mate!  8)

I had a hit and miss type of race, some good consistent stages and then the bike suddenly started acting like a bucking bronco and I slid off six or seven times. I tried to be clever and made some last minute gambles with the setup that upset the balance of the bike, silly me! Lol  ::)

Anyway I had a good race overall and DD graciously let me through, several times as it happens(due to me crashing about 800 yards after overtaking him. He must've thought "What the hells he doing!?". Hehe). Anyway, thanks for that DD it helped me a lot to catch up on time again.  ;)

But yeah.... I really enjoyed that, and my 6th pos(I think it was?) is good enough for an old coot like me for now in the presence of a lot of great riders.   ;D 8)

My apologies to PeterV, I'm sure I knocked him of when I got out of shape going into the 1st corner a few laps into the race but I'm not sure? I know I touched your back end as I skittles through the corner on my arse, but not sure if I actually knocked you off? My apologies anyway mate.  ;) 8)

Anyway, I really enjoyed that! Thanks guys, and thanks to Nick and the "Clerk of the Course" for keeping her eye on our activities.  ;D

Looking forward to more events for sure..... The more I ride with beta 8 the more and more I'm liking it!  ;D 8)

Hawk.

Damn bad news no replay :( my bug was very strange and never happened.

I try to explain, the bike remained on the ground but kept rotating very fast as if the gas was completely open, so for 30-40 seconds. I see a similar video with two bikes hooked, if I find it understand better   :(

Congrats to Meyer and nuoviac good racing guys, had terrible trouble with violent shaking in last part of race. After being over taken by Meyer decided to chase him down but terrible shakes but not in the first part of race.
Could it be my setup was not good for later part of race?

Thanks for a good race mate! was so sure i lost it when i crashed after passing you first time haha :D

I think it might be setup related, i got small problems as bike got lighter and tyres more worn, but found a way to ride around it, changed lines little towards the end and changed my acc and braking a bit too, to fit the lighter bike on worn tyres :)

Not seen the replay as yet.... But sounds like the camera caught me good in the act, eh? Hehe.  ;D 8)

Thanks for the replay Peter and sorry I smack you at race end, I didnt know the race was over and was not expecting you to be nearly standing still lol

DD

Unfortunately in peter replay there is a little 'lag, but works!

Who want to see a preview of the century bug, watch the start of the second lap (I was in the first position) even with a clear track I could not reset the bike as you see, only when the bike slowed down I managed to get back on track :( It 'was fun anyway!  ;D

Just like the video i showed! ;D

But that is strange! Must have been frustrating! I get so impatient waiting for riders to go by, waiting for that must be even worse!

Yep Meyer!  >:(

Among other things have fallen into very stupid way, touching the curb, I'm pretty sure the tires are worn in this bug, because it was really difficult to ride, going around 1:29 / 1:30 struggling a lot. But as I said I enjoyed it, the important thing is to finish the race!  ;D

Really good race that!

Most fun ive had in ages ;D

Congratz to Meyer. Good win mate after yesterday :P

And a huge thanks to nick for putting on the event. :D

I watched the replay again (and again...), me and vin have 1 lap not counted, the final results should be this:

1: Meyer12
2: Toomes
3: Vin97
4: nuovaic (I had overtaking he ... but on lap 21  ;D)
5: Blackheart
6: Hawk (award fair play, he waited a rider after a collision losing many positions)
7: Matty01215 (yes there is a "L" in your nickname but where is?  :'( )
8: PeterV
9: Boerenlater
10: Dareaper
11: Warlock
12: IASystems

Hope this helps, I'll have to update my signature with "f ** k the lap-bug"  ;D Congratulations to everyone!

Yes, but just on replay (maybe lag) I see u on track ;)

what is going on with the replays in beta8, though??

the netcode changes should have made them less laggy/buggy....

Quote from: vin97 on February 23, 2016, 02:17:32 AM

Netcode changes ??,......... was there any ?   :P

This is why it is better to use the server replay where possible. You are watching this one from another riders perspective. If he lives in Timbuktoo then only himself and his near neighbours will be lag-less on the replay no matter who views it.  :)

Hopefully, now we understand the replay length setting has changed from bytes to Megabytes we can fix that  ::)

So here's my tale.
I had a good start (as usual, the one thing I'm good at) and because of clean riding I was in 4th place after the first couple of laps.
Then the usual mistakes came  ::) dropped back because of the wait time before the reset.
Still I had some good fights and I was only lapped at lap 10! Usually it's around 5 lol.
I remember Hawk waiting for a fallen player and signalling me to slow down but I chose to ignore it because it didn't have anything to do with me.

Maybe I'm getting better or beta8 is simply better but I did like the race.

The problem was electricity in my house. I dont hit anything.
Greetings and see you on track

So here's my tale.
I had a good start (as usual, the one thing I'm good at) and because of clean riding I was in 4th place after the first couple of laps.
Then the usual mistakes came  ::) dropped back because of the wait time before the reset.
Still I had some good fights and I was only lapped at lap 10! Usually it's around 5 lol.
I remember Hawk waiting for a fallen player and signalling me to slow down but I chose to ignore it because it didn't have anything to do with me.

Maybe I'm getting better or beta8 is simply better but I did like the race.

Appreciate the mention of my actions to wait for PeterV(who I'd collided with), but actually I was just raising my hand to other riders, who were still racing, that I was riding very slow while waiting for the fallen rider to catch and pass me, and to be cautious of that situation. But thanks anyway Boren.  ;) 8)

Hawk.
PS: Thanks to Blacky too for recognising the selfless act on my part... Appreciated and hope others would do the same should they unintentionally cause an accident.  ;) 8)

Well done Boeren very nice to hear you enjoyed it!

I saw you a lot as I kept chasing you, passing you and then falling off immediately haha  ;D

This does not REALLY belong here but seeing as other people also had to go through it in the race last night I just wanted to ask here.

The massive wobbling especially on the straight after CNR 1, seems excessive, doesn't it? I just tried the 500 for the first time in B8(Think I skipped the 500 in B7 aswell, like the GP1000), and it does it the same. Could it be purely setup issues? The way I am riding? Or is it irregular physics from the games part?

*Correction - It feels like it does it almost everywhere where you have to change direction slightly on a straight on the throttle.

Is it this?  I posted it in the B8 thread which is now gone. If you go to Hockenheim 79 you will quickly find out (I must try it also I had my fingers crossed it was cured/not so bad).

yes it's that kind of wobble.
watch my bike in the last 5 or 6 laps of the race. the wobble was absolutely uncontrollable (had to cut the throttle to prevent crashes on some straights).
they are worse than any wobbles i ever had in the previou beta and I'd say it's because the front is way too light in beta8.

when having enough fuel in the tank, it will stabilize the bike, which is why i was fooled into thinking my setup will be good for the race :D

p.s.: i think piboso should get some 'private test riders' for the next betas, preferably the fastest guys (so not me, wouldn't say no though :D), to properly test the bikes (without riding aids).
...or maybe just release new betas more often (even when there are only small changes) to make sure the physics modifications are going in the right direction.

Kind of explains why I did not recognise my bike in the race (20 Litres). It was bucking about so much I had to retire into the pits. On a plus side it is good to know fuel loads actually make a difference!

I will have to test at Hock again to be able to say if it is better or worse now,

Yes yes, exactly that. I find the Ducati it seems to be the most stable from all the bikes.

Yeh just tested and its exactly the same  :'(   and is a major turn off to me as far as this game goes.

Surely someone in PiB land tests these bikes don't they?  Crap.

I must agree Nick :/. It's so over-excessive that it takes away some of the experience. It DEF won't do that on a bike in real life... Not so constantly, or vigorously.

Anyway, I don't think that will keep me away from this game completely, even though it does suck... Race was fun, keen on next one :D

It makes me weary lol  :-\


Locking down this thread now boys.  ;)
