Nope but is a new project, for now is only a beginning ... we'll see how it goes :)

So far I am using my Croft setup for Mantorp and it seems fine. So same gearing about 14/38 on the 2 stroke.
having a few laps now before Motogp

Server 1 - Best laps can be found filtering the Best Lap website http://gp-bikes.motonline-france.com/bestlaps.php
(http://i64.tinypic.com/maxcuc.jpg)

Server 2 - MMA is keeping it live to check your timings in the session

My top tip for Mantorp - Avoid the kerbs at all cost. Bloody car kerbs lol.

I'll sit this one out.

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo   :'(

thats shame boerelater

I will probably leave the servers open for anyone to join tonight due to the low numbers.

So Matty, load up your fingers with !Eject rounds should any 'disturbances' join  ;)

well well well, just had 4 laps with the 2st (none with 4st) so far, and steadily got pace down and felt quite good with the bike, only one crash on the out lap :)

Update: did 3 laps (1 out, 2 flying) on the 4st too (couldn't connect to server) pace felt really good and what a track with this bike, a lot of fun! really looking forward for tonight :)

Couldn't connect to server sounds ominous??  Unless you tried to join just as it was auto rebooting itself? Or in a race with MMA lol. I see it did reboot itself after 24 hours (its what I have set) so maybe/hopefully that was it.

Race had started lol ;) so no worries

Hoping CDX will try and join us for the race tonight so here is his skin pack with S80, AGV Helmet and Suit.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/j3tbnjtfqj9oky0/CDX%20Skins.rar?dl=0 (https://www.dropbox.com/s/j3tbnjtfqj9oky0/CDX%20Skins.rar?dl=0)

And as he is me team matey I needed to alter mine a wee bit for the S80

https://www.dropbox.com/s/i95vz49mb30u2j8/S80%20IAS%20Racing%20DD.pnt?dl=0 (https://www.dropbox.com/s/i95vz49mb30u2j8/S80%20IAS%20Racing%20DD.pnt?dl=0)

Hope its in time.

Still not had a bloody chance to practice.  :'( :'( :'(

DD

I'm uploading the pack now so no more skins please :)

Got it Sire matty.

I have had no practice but hope we get to battle it out a bit again.

DD

Sorry chaps unable to make race tonight pushed for time but enjoy.

Hi everyone, I'd like to join if it's not too late.

Never raced online before, I'm sorry if I'm going things wrong, I'll try to not get in the way too much. Is #81 ok?

Hi mate yes good to have you - club rules in force.. expect you wont have time to read them all so here are the basics:
1. Minimum chat in qually and races pls
2. 3 restarts maximum at Race start so don't jump start/know what causes jumps.
3. Take it easy first lap.

;D

Ok, thanks! :)

Here is a link of me racing Mantorp IRL on a 125GP Honda back in 2010. Or well, as long as it lasted in the tricky weather.

I had wet tyres on and it was just dripping a bit, so tyres was too hot and track was little slippy and BOOM, i went down!

Sorry you had such a bad evening Meyer, next time mate,  for me it was a good one for a change! Thanks to everyone for coming.  :)

Congrats to Nuovaic and Nick for the wins tonight... Well done guys! Your getting too fast Nick... SLOW DOWN! Hehe!  ;D 8)

I had a decent race tonight... all happy here with two third places considering I didn't get any practice in accept for maybe a couple of laps mid week. So yeah I'm pleased.  ;D 8)
A special mention for Meyer for slowing down and allowing me to pass him after he collided with me going into the second corner. Good on you matey. Thank you!  ;) 8)

Thank you to Nick the MMA and Matty for another great event. Well done!  ;D 8)

Next up Paul Ricard on the 500's? I hope? ;D

Whatever you decide is good enough by me.  ;) 8)

Hawk.

Do we have a NDS version mate? I will check tomorrow I just don't remember seeing one.  But yes I think it is time for your choice.
After that we better have Matty's before he goes 2 stroke mad. :o 

Anyone can make a bike and track suggestion for future races I will program them in.  Hopefully a few more bikes will turn up soon too  :)

Sorry Nick, there is no NDS version of Paul Ricard.... Maybe we should choose another track? How's about Aragon.... It's been a while since we've raced there too.  ;D

Hawk.

Works for me Hawk!

I love Aragon layout but I am really, really bad there for some reason lol. Time to put an old fairing on and some crash mushrooms. ::)

I get a lot of core crashes on Aragon so its hard for me to practice on faster bikes being new to this. If you do it can there be a server up for practice to see if it cores too?

DD

Not my races yesterday. Race 1, engine blew on lap 4! WHAT THE HELL?!  :o

Race two was just horrible, crashed into Hawk in 2nd corner, went out of next corner and crashed again and decided to wait for Hawk and let him pass since i did crash him earlier, sorry mate. and from then it just went downhill! had two laps without crashes and the rest was just horrible, i couldn't ride the bike at all, even i with the exact same setup in warmup didn't have any problems. So i had my first rage quit  ::)

The positive i can take with me, was my QP times and my pace in QP, which was not bad at all and almost no crashes, so very dissapointed in myself at race 2. At least i could stay and watch some good racing, enjoyed the Nuo/Nick fight in race 1.

Congratulations to Nuo for race 1 win and to Nick for Race 2 win! well done guys!

Just tried Aragon and no fun for me at all. No disrespect to the maker but it is not finished and it just gives my brain a great big GAME alert, it looks to much like a game and that takes out the enjoyment for me to start with. Sorry but I need at least a bit of backdrop and detail to make me feel more like I am not in a game. It might sound stupid as you will say it is all about the riding, but I dont FEEL like I am riding on a track due to the visuals and it just looks wrong to ME.

As I said, NO disrespect to the maker as I DO appreciate the work. I am just a finicky old git.

DD

Maybe another track then?

Correct DD, Aragon isn't finished. That's why it is only a version 0.85 and not a version 1.0.  ;)
It is a conversion and either myself or Janau will update and complete this track at some stage, but it's still a great track to race on in my opinion compared to a lot of other tracks in the database that are still not complete or the track surfaces are unrideable.  ;)

So far all we've done to Aragon is seal the major gaps(still a lot of small gaps still to seal yet) that were in this track causing core.exe crashes all the time(it's a heck of a lot better now for that) and smoothed out some terrible bumps in the track surface(probably needs a total track surface rebuild really to be honest).

But we're always glad to receive feedback, so what is it exactly that you'd like to see done to Aragon to make it better? Can you do a sort of "TODO" list of what you'd like added or improved upon.... That would be a great help because personally I love racing at Aragon, the track itself just has a continuity type of flow to it that allows a rider to get into a rhythm very easily, and I'd like to make this track good for the community.  ;D 8)

Hawk.
PS: I like finicky and I like perfectionism.  ;) 8)

HI Hawk,

Well its real simple dude. Naturally the ride and reduction of core crashes take a priority.

For me, as I have been spoiled by lovely graphics for racing as in PCars, Shift2 etc etc I REALLY need to feel immersed in the track and its surroundings. I know many are happy to say, "Yeah but its a great track" and it is, BUT and for me it is a big BUT, it is how my mind SCREAMS "GAME GAME GAME!!!' at me because it is bland, lacking in character. It is hard because of the tracks location. It is very sparse and needs the details to bring it to life.

I do hope I have in no way offended you guys, you have done such great work. It is ME just being the type of person that has never been able to just be satisfied with basics. Knowing what can be done I cant wait until you do more on it.

If it helps, when I look at NEW racing games like Automobilista I turn my nose up and walk away laughing. To me it is appalling in its standards and looks when you consider GTR2 looked 10 times better 10 years ago!!!

I am a FOOKIN finicky C*** to say the least.

As I said, the cores and riding come first, then maybe I will be a happy bunny, but this is a community and not a personal sim.

Thank you very much for your response to my first post on this, it show maturity and understanding both ways.

Luv you guys. Best community there is.

Agreed. This is all we've concentrated on up till now just to get the track out there. Believe me, if you'd have seen the state the track was in before version 0.85 you'd know how much better it is now as far as core.exe crashes than it was before. But yes, it still does indeed need a lot of work doing to seal up the gaps in the mesh it to bring it up to a reliable non track causing core.exe crash standard. But some of the gaps that were there before v0.85, you'd literally fall through them. Lol  ;D
Unfortunately we haven't got around to working on it since the last update(a long while ago now), but I may have a solution in converting a totally new track version of Aragon soon if I can get permissions. Let's see... Otherwise I'll work on this one to bring it up to standard.  ;)

You certainly have not offended me, and I'm sure Janau would feel the same when I say that any criticism is good for making improvements. In fact I personally welcome critics so long as they are justified, as is the case with this track simply because it is far from finished.  So no worries on that my friend. ;) 8)

Lol.... Totally agree with you Janau...... I also dream of being able to slow time down so I can do more each day.... Time passes SO fast when your focused on this sort of work.

Hawk.

I know what you guys mean. I spend every day working to improve my systems. We all love the actual riding in GPB but also the work that makes it better.

I wonder where the bloody days go sometimes. Many dont appreciate the amount of work it takes to do anything when it comes to design and making stuff for such a sim.

You guys do great work and it is what helps make GPB what it is.

Why didnt they make days have 48 hours lol.

@ MMA: Is there any chance of stopping the limiting of tyres for practice sessions?

It's not limiting riders from practicing at all because they can practice offline if they run out of tyres.... Also, I'm sure it's deterring riders from coming online when they know they've used there tyres for that session. There's just no point in limiting tyres at all in my opinion, especially during practice sessions. ;) :)

Hawk.

Gargh no sense of adventure.....   Wanted to get it into peoples mindset ready for the 3 day events really but as the server-save and netcode still needs a tweak there's little point I suppose. Surely only the sad butt-hurts would practice offline then come to set fast laps? No-one enters into the spirit of things anymore......moan, ramble, sigh .... pfffff.........I Will remind her to turn it off for the next session.  ::)

I love Aragon but I don't know what it is with this track but I cannot ride it.  :( I just go round hoping the bike will not fall over randomly, like the track is made of ice. Has always been like this for me for some reason. I think the Stock1000 bikes were the only ones I felt some confidence with on this track and then because I practiced hard all week for the race (only to jumpstart and get booted in the race). Double pffffffff to it.

You are not alone mate! i never really seem to get the hang of good pace here on  any bike. I can do okay laps once in a while, but i crash so much and the front tends to just wash away much easier here.

Lol.... Sorry MMA, I think I've turned Nick into a grumpy old bear for the rest of the night. Hehe  ;D

I can see it working for the three day events, but certainly for single events especially during practice sessions I just don't see the point because it limits any practice time you can do. Personally I just find it a royal pain in the arse when I want to just set the bike up and get a feel for the track before race day.  :P :)

Thanks Nick!  ;) 8)

Hawk.
PS: I don't know what's wrong with you guys..... This is a great track with corners that flow from one to the other..... You need to find a consistent rhythm for this track...... Sounds to me like your attacking it to hard.... SLOW DOWN! ::) ;D
On second thoughts, NO! Keep going faster, try harder.... That way I'll I won't have to worry about beating you! Hehe  ;D ;D

I tried a few laps and have to agree on feel of it. It feels like less grip to the point I have massive understeer, its like the bike dont want to turn at all unless I'm riding DD pace lol.

I thought it was just me hehe, thank goodness.

I just cant enjoy it, sorry

DD

Yeh don't get me wrong it is a great track I love it! Seems harder now without the old Uphill/Downhill problem not helping to tighten the line through the last corner (not that I want that 'feature' back lol).

One place I really, really hate is turn 10 ish where that bump sends you into a lowside. Man that gets old real quick  >:(  I will keep trying at it but if I go any slower the race might last all week. Already the fast guys are into 1.52, seven seconds faster than my 'omg I stayed on all lap' time. I guess everyone has a nemesis track, and this is definitely mine.

Mind you I found a new car park at the bottom of the hill when I fell off (turn 9 ish) and the bike went through a barrier gap, over a cliff and down to the car park below.  Good news there is enough space for about 500 cars there and I didn't see one meter! ;D

All i can say is most of the problems of the track can be avoided with setup.
I couldn't even ride with default , and got faster and faster with setup. Also depends of style, i couldn't finish a lap with Meyers setup.

Ride height and swing arm pivot does a lot there. But a little line change towards inside can avoid it almost completely.
I can tell you , i've done a ton of laps yesterday  ;D

I cant find ANY servers???

DD

I think there is a problem right now, have same problem and have had it for few hours.

Thanks for confirming. I thought I was being a dumb ass again lol

DD

Usually the sign of Beta 9 on the way  ;D

I will try Aragon offline if someone just gives me the best ratio to use instead of hours on my ass. Pretty Please

DD

I can't mate I have no idea, besides having anything from me to do with Aragon is a huge step backwards lol. will open the next race sign-up page sooon.

PS: remember if you get lots of cores offline consider lowering your replay length (or ';' it out completely for a test).

There is the problem right there! I ain't got no style baby  :D

Thx for setup help Warlocky.

Hahhah everyone has an style, suicidal, smooth , aleatory..  :D 

Also quite stiff suspension but some rebound 6-8 helped me to keep the line
