Hi guys.
Firstly here is the link to the live stream and video channel from me.
https://www.youtube.com/c/IASystemsComputerControls (https://www.youtube.com/c/IASystemsComputerControls)
I think it is time for me to add a little to the club as I am no good at modding or apps, the least I can do is help to make online racing in the club a bit more fun and also offer a server or two more to give a wider variety of events and relieve all the pressure form the fantastic Nick and MMA.
As many of you have read in other threads and also put up with my testing I will be doing live streaming of races and other events like bike release test etc etc. I will also be doing full 1080p 60FPS videos once the hardware is acquired.
I have to thank you all for your help and patience over the last week with my testing.
Now for something completely different!!!
In the news tonight..............
A generous donation of £40.00 was made to the future live streaming and new GPBOC servers by Napalm Nick!!!
The money will be spent on X-Split licensing and go towards an Elgato HD60 capture/stream box.
Nick has also offered to help with the setup of the new servers to ensure the incompetent yet willing DD von Frankenstein will not cock up all the club races.
Rumors have it that the ever encouragable DD will even attempt to find a counterpart to the amazing MMA in order that the club has a 24/7 server service.
Ladies beware of an old fart making promises of a career in the internet industry!!!
So, once again, thank you Nick for the generous donation and all your help. If any one else is willing to help out on this venture it would be very helpful to us all. Please PM me if you wish to help in any way.
I will be contacting Virgin Media in the morning to arrange an increase in my bandwidth for the servers.
DD
Thats very generous from both sides guys, thank you, but as is something we are all beneficiaries, if is there a way to donate to distribute spending among all (don't know how to say this, google translator) please let us know. I think 5€ each, is something we all can afford and we can even get some more money for beer and cigarettes ;D
Thanks Warlock
I am keeping the GPBOC funds on Paypal as it is the best way to receive donations and make payments
Any donations are very welcome. I will be keeping a full list of donations and payments that can be asked to view at anytime by you guys to make sure I am not buying beer with it lol (beer on the internet would be all warm and horrible lol) I will make a regular monthly post of all in and out payments.
If you wish to make a donation please send to paypal account doubledragoncc@yahoo.com.
I just got the first license for X-Split and it seems to be better than the free version for sure. I went for the premium account as it has no restrictions and can be used commercially, which if you think about it, promoting GPB is on that boundary, so we are covered whatever we do. It also has the possibility for custom plugins (MAX) which the other accounts dont. I only got the 1 month license to test in case it was not worth it. It automatically continues until I cancel it so we will see how it goes first. I tested it on Twitch and YouTube, Twitch seemed better but I have to go through my account settings to get it running right. You Tube is fine and makes automatic copies and can be viewed up to 4 hours previously if you join the stream late. Still have to figure that out for Twitch.
The video below is the YT test. Until I up my bandwidth, it will be 720p 30fps only. Towards the end you can see how much better it is in close up quality. I had no frame drops but this was not during a race. I will be doing extensive testing over the next days and hope with Nicks help to get a server up to hold races on and stream from.

Well it is time to hit the sack so I can get up early and get this Hs2 system done as I have delayed it for 2 days now(DD slaps own wrists)
I will update tomorrow.
DD
Ha ! Don't think I am that generous normally,
It is money found down the back of the Club bar sofas over the year which would normally go to a charity, so this year it has gone to another worthy <cough> charity and give something back to the people who lost it. I am confident it will be put to good use for everyone here.
Yes sorry about my wording there Nick it should have read:
The marvelous Napalm Nick came forward on behalf of the GPBOC and kindly donated £40 towards setup of new servers and live streaming of the GPBOC events.
As I remove my foot from my mouth, I shall leave to chase girlies Virgin Media about upping my bandwidth.
DD
BOOYAA!!!!
So.....................
I called Virgin Media and spoke to a dickhead first who did not understand me. After 20 mins explaining I had NO fault I want MORE bandwidth he put me through to a very nice lady. She instantly got me from 50MB/3MB to 100MB/100MB download/upload bandwidths for a £5.00 a month increase on my bill. What the hell its for our fun and enjoyment and I want to make sure the server is good for you guys and that streaming is better.
Here is a quick live stream test, using a gamepad watching 2 screens had its natural result of me on my ass a few times lol. I was riding slow to see the detail level at 1080p 30fps as my GTX670M is restricting me to x264 codec for streaming. Not the best codec but for now will have to do.
https://www.youtube.com/v/bJIahaNyLvY
Best watched on YT at 1080p
It is not perfect but an improvement on the last one!!! PLEASE let me know what you think. I need your input guys.
Oh and I am ordering a new HD for the server side for dedicated GPBOC use.
DD
So streaming a replay of yourself is pretty darned good. Just online stuff direct from server needs a test.
I can only select 720p max over at Youtube tho??
As an experiment would it be worth taking the last server replay and streaming that to see how it goes? Not sure there is any point in that other than for complete set of tests for comparison. But wouldn't want you getting bored and slacking off lol.
It is only for graphic quality to start with I tested for comparison. I have a LOT of tests to run.
I would rather go for 720p at higher quality but my GPU is a bitch. I am bound by x264 codec!!!! This is not the best for gaming, I need NVENC from Nvidea but my GPU is the one before they introduced it!!!
I will just keep playing around until it works lol. I need to test twitch and set that up too.. I am so new to all this lol.
Just doing me best guys.
DD
Hi guys.
So I upped the internet for the server and streaming, got the license for X-Split and ordered a Travelstar: Z7K500 500GB 7200rpm hard drive for the server. Its a nice fast drive from benchmark tests.
We are on our way at last. I will get the drive next week and install it all.
As soon as Nick sends me a care package on how to set it all up for GPBOC the RIGHT way I can start testing. I will need help with you guys test riding on the first server. I can not do 24/7 servers to start with but will do a close to it as I can. My lil laptop is my life lol.
DD
Lemme know when you are ready and away we can go. ;)
Thanks Nick.
I think I am gonna get this system for ISR done as I have delayed it for a couple of days and wanna ride too lol.
I need to organize my files and sort out stuff. Just tested internet speeds and get 95MB DL/ 6,27 UL so its a bit better but need to wait 24hours for it to be fully up to speed. I can only expect 10% of the 100MB for Upload speed according to Virgin. It is standard I think.
I really need like a step by step guide of what to do and how it works as I am confused that I have 2 versions of GPB on my system so do I have to run BOTH or just one for the server. Sorry but as I said not done this and need to be treated like a baby with it lol.
DD
Don't worry about it for now it will become clear. In effect you are running part of one copy for the dedi server and your own game on the other.
You could bypass this dedi stuff until you set up your permanent server and just use the in game server creator.
Depends if you want to take it on now or later.
Anyway get her bloody system built first ;)
x264 and nvenc are both encoders for the h.264 codec (nvenc is a hardware encoder built into nvidia GPUs, x264 is software running on your cpu).
really, the only advantage nvenc offers is less work for your CPU but since GP Bikes is not a very demanding game (especially not on your CPU), you should be fine either way.
mind posting a screenshot of your x264 settings?
oh and what CPU do you have? some newer ones might allow you to offload video encoding to it's integrated (low performance) GPU, although I really don't think that this is necessary.
Firstly
THANK YOU WARLOCK!!! Mr Warlock kindly contributed 10 Euros to the GPBOC funds for the new server and streaming. Thank you from us all kind sir.
Hi Vin. There is little to adjust for X-Split really just the bandwidth is critical and I use different ones for different resolutions. I am still testing so will post when I have something more concrete. I need to play with my Nvidea settings though for sure lol.
I have an i7 3610QM 2.3Ghz with turbo to 3.3Ghz
Here are test results in different resolution and fps plus kbs
First is what I think will be okay if I am riding as well. GPBikes is at 1080p and stream settings are:
720p 30fps 3800kbs
https://www.youtube.com/v/KXdbwHreuhM
Next might be best for races on other servers: 720p 60fps 4500kbs
https://www.youtube.com/v/mpY_9QDWb2c
And finally I think if I host a race and stream then...........1080p 30fps 5500kbs
https://www.youtube.com/v/O1OpvwrLm1Y
Not to bad when you look at the 1080p from a few days ago, the 720p is almost as good. I am learning, slowly but surely lol.
To promote GPB correctly we need the highest quality we can get so I will keep at it guys. Bigger hammers may be used!!!
In testing my internet I get permanent 100-105MB download speed and 5.9-6.6 upload speed.
I need to find a program that gives me the actual bandwidth speed GPB is using, most do the amount of data and not speed usage, any tips guys???
DD
They all look good to me DD.
As for your question about seeing GPB speeds I have no idea sorry :-[
Thanks Warlock!! 8)
For me, framerate>resolution, so I'd prefer 720p60 over 1080p30.
Looks like your getting it sorted DD.... It looks good to me mate! ;D 8)
Hawk
Thanks guys I feel like a kid back at school lol
DD
NEWSFLASH!!!
Yet another concerned citizen, the famous Mr. Dibu of the GPBOC community has just made a generous donation of 20.00 Euros towards new servers and the live streaming channel.
It looks like the future of quality online racing is looking up for the GPBOC
Stay tuned for the GPBOC News Channel coming to you on YouTube soon
8) Thanks Dibu.
Bring on the News!
Okay something is funny tonight. Half the time I get bad gateway trying to navigate the forum and my server shows in the list then it dont then it does????
Sorry guys it is only testing at the mo and I SUCK at it
I am being tutored by Nick and he will get me up to speed soon. Please no more whippings Nick I am trying sir
DD
Okay....................
So I had a core after about an hour and not sure why, but noticed a few things.
1st The bikes seemed very stable compared to other times I have been online. The were not hopping all over the place and for the most part seemed perfectly normal as if it was not online at all?
2nd Without changing a thing, my server will not show all the time in the server list online. With the same bike/track/all settings it sometimes appears in the list and sometimes not. Nick and I tried to sort it out but I could not find a reason at all for this. Any ideas?
3rd Due to only 6.25 solid upload speeds 720p is a must. My internet speeds go up in a few months to 150MB/150MB so should give a solid 10MB upload no problem and then we can do 1080p streaming from the server.
Here are the few stream tests. We had the 916 from H and Blacky's NR750 at Spa.
https://www.youtube.com/v/Q03xKlc2GXE
GPB cored and booted everyone, sorry guys. Then did a short one with the 750 only
https://www.youtube.com/v/0L2bHOXZ_Jo
Please remember this is all WIP and just testing. Things will get much better.
DD
I reckon so far, streaming from the server (in effect) is having a much better result. Proof will be when we have 10+ riders so it can be compared with Snetterton.
Yeh both the forum and the Master Server are experiencing problems. At this time the Master server is down (I reckon you broke it DD so I am afraid it is probably whip time again - and not the Angel Delight type).
As for the spurious World server creation you are treading new ground really with using it so much. It seems to me that swopping details occurs some kind of time penalty for the master server to release the old one and take on and propagate the new.
Everything at the mercy of the Master server again. I no like it :(
Yeah I wondered about a time issue but 24 hours is too long lol
DD
Hi DD.
How did the live streaming go mate? Not heard anything since the end of tonights race. Hope all went well? ;) 8)
Were you able to save the replay? I'd love to watch it. ;D 8)
Hawk.
Hi guys and sorry Hawk I said about the bad luck on the race stream in Peters thread. YouTube did not make a backup for whatever reason. I have sent a report to YT to find out why.
So.................................The new server drive just turned up so I am going to be busy sorting this all out.
Will report back as soon as I have news.
DD
Hi guys.
I will have a server GPBOC4 up for a bit if anyone can test it please. It is Nicks last GP500 on Snetterton 200 as we needed his ini to get things going.
Please let me know if any problems and how the ping and other things are for you.
Thanks guys
DD
There now for a few laps.
Stable and smooth, ping 43 - 45 (Leeds UK) But on my own ::)
Thanks nuovaic, I NEED imput from you guys.
GUYS.....................\i can not test a server on my own, YOU have to ride on the different tests to make sure there are no bike mismatch or other problems. I am running BikeMod 1.75 only at the moment but can and will add other bike mods too. I also do not have all tracks yet as I want to run those that function the best and look the best for streaming reasons to promote GPB.
IF YOU DONT USE AND TEST the server, HOW can I know it is working for you? PLEASE help me help YOU.
THANKS
DD
connecting works fine, running a solid 30 ms on your server.
Nice track choice ;)
edit: dont know if mentioned yet but you are kind of hard to understand while onboard on a bike
Hi DD
It would surely be better to organise a certain day and time for the live stream server tests? Why not post(same as an event page) to say that you will test the live stream at 8pm that night or whenever with the event countdown timer there on the page? That way you give time for people to see the post and arrange to be there and the benefit is that your likely get a lot of riders on the track at once which is what you surely need to test the live stream properly? :)
Just a thought. ;) 8)
Hawk.

Thanks Kerazo, what do you mean hard to understand onboard, in a video?
@Hawk and ALL
THIS is for SERVER tests not streaming, it is for me to provide YOU with new servers to ride on!!!I cant do 24/7 but will try to run 8AM to 1AM everyday. I need to test that the Bikemod 1.75 I have is okay and tracks work too.
DD
i watched your streams on youtube and you sound very quiet compared to the bike ( while watching onboard )
Ah, yes l knocked my mike but it was a test and not worried about it but will be fine in actual streams. Thanks for the heads up though
DD
Ah! Okay mate..... Sorry for the misunderstanding.... I thought it was for your live streaming testing.... Okedoke DD, got the message.... Server Testing only. ;D 8)
Hawk.
I will also throw in some live stream testing but it is not important yet. Servers for club comes first lol
DD
Getting NO input from you guys means I do not know if the server is okay!!!
I can NOT provide a good steady server if you dont let me know if it is working for you or not. This is where YOU have to do something if you want to race online.
Thanks to any reports you guys can make. A location and ping would help me too.
DD
Sorry DD..... I'll try and get online to test your server later this evening. GPBOC 4 right? ;)
Hawk.
Thanks Hawk.
I dont mean to sound a dick but if nobody uses it why am I and Nick trying to give you guys more? We have plans to give more chiose of events and stable servers for you all to use. We cant test them YOU guys have to and tell me I cocked up something or you are noe happy with it, I can not read your minds, ................POINT lol................gotta add my saying lol
Thanks for the help guys
DD
The server seems to be working good DD..... I'm getting a ping of 44(UK) and I had no problems connecting. Not a lot else I can say. We really need to hold an event to really stress it. :)
Hawk.
Thanks Hawk.
I have been literally sitting watching the server window and know who goes on it but get no data more than that. I think it is a solid server but as you say need to race on it.
I am too new to say I will organize a race just yet as I also have more to do and want to get it right. If someone wishes to hold a friendly race I can set it for what they want for now. I just need to ensure it is stable first, get other poo out of the way and then once I have cocked up the first few races it should be all good and dandy.
DD
Why don't you set it up the same as GPBOC1 for Sundays race. I can admin it if you like. That way the bike and server are tested. I can keep GPBOC1 on standby should something awful happen (but it won't).
Good idea but a bit short notice for folks really. I have still got some tracks and bikes I need to make sure work on it too. Dont want folks having bike mismatch and shit going on lol.
There is no rush and I far rather it be a good experience than one full of frustration and problems.
I am not the type to do half baked cakes lol.
Whats a week after all?
DD
OK Delia keep yer pinney on. Besides if there's any baking to be done it sounds like Blackheart is doing that.
Maybe he bakes the winners cake. ;)
I am sure Blacky can bake a good one lol.
Just want the guys to have as problem free a time as I can give bro. I know how frustrating it can be with bad servers lol.
DD
EDIT: You know that port problem I was having, it turned out to be that the shortcut I made kept port 10510 even if I changed the actual Server Start to 10520 or 10509 it only worked if I clicked the Server start directly then I cottoned on it was only when I started the server with the shortcut I could not ride too. A defo Windows error. You have to change both the actual start program info AND the shortcuts or delete the shortcut then have another one!!!
Weird.
Yep, I was lucky to find it. I will make sure I keep an eye on it for the future. Wonder if it is only Windows 10 that does it?
DD
If you want people too come too you're server make it the GPOC1 server for a while ?
That way they have too use it, and you can test it, see how it performs ?
Just thinking out loud.
Peter, thanks for the idea but that is Nicks server. The servers have their order and should stay that way really. In the end, certain servers can then be designated for certain types of racing, practice and maybe a learners server to help the shy guys, I used to be one and know how it is.
Right now people need to practice for the race so its not important. There is no rush.
DD

DD
I think you hit hit the head on the nail there DD.
It must be an intimidating step for some to join a race with seasoned riders. I do feel sorry for those that try and then fall foul of the starting procedure (mainly lining up on grid and not moving). It would be nice to have a server just for these guys to practice race procedure and etiquette. Maybe set a certain time (say Friday 8pm UK) advertise on forum for wannabe racers to practice and then some of the regular guys can pop in and go through it all with them.
We need more racers!
This would fit in nicely with the 'initiation program' already talked about in little detail for new riders.
People must understand that every time a new rider comes to a race it brings huge risk to the enjoyment of others from not understanding the ethos and procedures and maybe even race craft. A quick bit of guidance beforehand would of been something I would of taken.
I think it is why many dont race online. It also means those who are very serious about practice with good riders will not be hindered.
The more we can offer to encourage new people online the better it will get.
DD
Had a few laps test, ping stayed nice and low, just as on Nicks servers.
No problems getting on or anything, so seem to work well, will be good to see how it works when more are online at same time :)
Thanks Meyer good to know bro.
DD
Hi guys so this week from Thursday is a bit of a pain as I am having new windows fitted in my flat and it will cause havoc in my lil shithole lol. I will not be able to hard wire my internet to the computer as the cable will be in the way and dont want it to be a problem. As I will be wifi only I can not guarantee the best bandwidth. If it is too bad let me know.
I love The challenge of the corkscrew and its great to test new bikes lol.........................
So Duke it out at Laguna Seca between the 916 and the NR750.....................
Get ready to eat my gravelrash baby!!!
DD
Edit: I am in a painting mood and need to have some chill time so I might make up some club type paint set: Tell me your favorite color and number and it would make streaming a lot easier for such events. Thanks guys just trying to improve the personal side of GPB for us.
For a bike or suit big boy?
YELLOW, HOT (MEYER) PINK, BLACK! :D and you know the number ;)

ok nice. dark blue, #8. if you feel like doing extra work, a sideways 8 on the sides of the fairing would be nice :D
Remember not to push too hard with NR750 0.6... or the engine will die ;D
Thanks vin. I will get bikes done in order of those who post the info. Will be as quick as possible. I am working on the design so it will be of most use to advertise Piboso and GPB in particular.
Can I use the GPBOC club logo from the suit? Is there a png or flie you can send me to make it better and easier to use?
Thanks guys.
DD
EDIT: I have been studying streaming settings and how to's and am getting better. I definitely need to get the Elgato HD60S(USB3.0) external box to make this as it should be. To advertise Piboso and GPB the steams must be of the highest quality but also be able to be viewed by the largest audience. Software alone can not do this. We will need hardware and the HD60S is the best and cheapest way to go. I will try to save as quickly as I can the money for it but any donations would really help.
Here is the info for those who dont know the product and the cheapest and safest price to date: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Elgato-Game-Capture-HD60-S-1080p-60-FPS-USB-3-0-BRAND-NEW-FREE-SHIPPING-/282043720299?hash=item41ab1da26b:g:VqsAAOSw9k5XPnTV (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Elgato-Game-Capture-HD60-S-1080p-60-FPS-USB-3-0-BRAND-NEW-FREE-SHIPPING-/282043720299?hash=item41ab1da26b:g:VqsAAOSw9k5XPnTV)
Please let me know your thoughts on this as it is a club purchase and those who support and donate have a right to a decision.
Thanks DD

The motor was not built by MotoGP Yamaha team was it Blacky? lol
DD
DD, is it the image quality or the stuttering that you want to improve?
Oh and by stuttering I mean dropping framerate, not lag.
Okay, I recon this is the best quality I will get with just software. It may seem fine to most of you but to advertise a product and really get the community to grow, we need it all spiffy and shiny with lots of bells and whistles lol.
For those interested, I actually dropped the bitrate DOWN!!! I went from 5000 bitrate/5000 buffer in OBS to 3500/3628 to cover the 128 bitrate for the audio that I did not know is not part os the setting and must be accounted for manually.
https://www.youtube.com/v/us6swngeroA
Settings were for 1080p @30fps 128bps/44Khz Audio

Both vin. By going to hardware capture via USB 3 it will improve lag, quality and the shiny bits too. It will also make it possible to have live chat with YT and Twatch viewers.

Sorry Meyer but it is single color for main color only as it would be tooooo much wrok and take tooooo long otherwise. I think you are HotPink though?
DD
Can you do a short 1080p test stream where the game takes up all of the screen?
Sure give me a bit.

But i want mixed! :( hahah Yellow or Hot pink? at least you can recognise me the easiest with HotPink :P
Ok you get hotpink as it is what I recognize you with now lol.
DD
What is that supposed to mean? Lol :P >:( ;D
Here ya go vin,
Same settings as before but GPB is a bugger with the mic. Will sort it for next race.

Btw, if you make me HotPink bikes, please make number yellow haha :D and i will then use your AGV HotPink Meyer and my HotPink IAS Racing Dainese suit :P
But the design will have a Yellow plate area for the numbers so yours will have to be black with yellow numbers ok
DD
PS: I forgot with the 916 from H it has a hundred bloody tga files to paint!!! this will take a bit longer than planned lol. I will do the basic design and when you say yeah I will make one for each bit by bit lol.
DD
Sounds good to me DD :)
And no worries, take your time :)
Everyone called Nick now? ;D
Hey DD anything that matches with my Mike-the-Bike Rig would be perfick!
(http://i67.tinypic.com/20fz5dw.jpg)
Did you just call me Nick there Meyer???? Anything to do with the new nickname you gave him, I used it at the last race lol. Shame the mic audio was poor lol
DD
EDIT: Listen you plonkas>>>>> Nick n Meyer...................... H made the 916 with so many separate paint files it takes 3 times as long to do a paint so basic colors for all unless you are real nice to me.................. Just kidding, you guys helped a lot so I will get your shit out the way first okay.
I do hope you weren't rude ??? lol.
DD - Did you see my post before your last one?
Yes Nick I saw it.....................rude? me? never ::)
DD
I do hear you about the colours - maybe the green is the best. British Racing Green of course. But yeh some orangey red spots would be nice to blend it hehehe! Choose and do what you can mate, only kidding, I have total faith in ya.
Haha it was after our testy time with Nickster i have written his name so many times and it just comes first when i write to someone lol :P
Well sorry DD!
@DD
Server stable and low ping of 25 - looking good
No cores to report despite me constantly throwing the bike into the scenery - need to learn this track :)
If you want a particular track to test online anytime just let me know.
I will be making a bike testing server too
DD
DD, how does it look when you turn the bitrate up a bit? Or can your internet connection not handle higher bitrates? If so, could you record a video offline at a higher bitrate and upload it to YouTube?
Anyway, I suspect that you won't get much better image quality from a dedicated capture device, YouTube's encoding settings are the problem.
Watch my Mugello video for comparison. The source video was lossless and it still kind of looks shit in the TV cam.
https://www.youtube.com/v/U-7jxkwy6S4
Of course, the framerate issues should be solved. Just to make sure: It is the framerate dropping and not your internet connection creating lag, right?
Lastly, when buying a capture device, you'd probably want to get one without a hardware encoder (or at least one that can be deactivated/bypassed). That way your choice of codec and settings are completely free and since it will only result in slightly higher CPU load, it should give you the same in-game performance.
Oh and btw, does OBS support H.265/HEVC video codec?
Hi Vin
I was only running half the bitrate I can for my internet. I just had it increased and it goes up again in a few month for free so I should have a steady 12-15MB upload speed. Right now it is only 6.2MB. I was trying to see how low I can run it for having bandwidth for the server too.
If I record with OBS, not stream the quality is far better. I will do a video but right now my flat is in bits for new window fitting so things are tight.
OBS has x264 quicksync and NVENC but my GPU can only run the x264 codec.
I have studied and spoken with a lot of people about the Elgato HD60S and it would improve things for quality and allow 60fps instead of 30 for 1080p. It would also free up my GPU a bit for me to ride lol. I like my 120fps in GPB when I can get it online with other riders lol. The HD60S is pure passthrough and USB3 not 2 on the normal HD60.
Dont forget I am on a laptop and certain things can not be done concerning video and audio due to how the motherboards are designed and limited in certain areas.
DD
ok, h.265 seems not relevant for streaming at the moment anyway.
forget the thing about capture devices with hardware encoders: there is only the blackmagic intensity shuttle with uncompressed capture and it doesn't support 1080p60 so the elgato hd60s is the best choice.
but don't expect the visual image quality to improve (much). you should increase the zoom (decrease field of view) of the TV cams instead. it will improve the image quality a lot.
I am not doing a thing with the TV cams that is for the track guys.
I did a 1080p @60fps and one at 30fps with higher bitrate. Bitrate is a funny fooker lol.
i am moving shit about so had no audio setup lol. Plus just installed newest Nvidea driver that just came out, last 2 were shite!!!
1080p 60fps:

1080p 30fps:
https://www.youtube.com/v/XwWD1AdzMnY
Need to keep playing lol.
DD
ok, i can do it for you but in the silverstone video you can already see how the quality is better in the "close-ups".
i don't think it gets much better than that on youtube.
only thing you could improve is making the game window bigger :D at least so that there is no empty space.
Don't zoom the cameras right in though cos in the stream we need to see the action not one bike!
DD - Can you setup GPBOC4 with MotoGP and Silverstone like GPBOC1 is if possible? I need to take mine down. It would be helpful to see if it all runs OK on yours or not. ???
yeah, right balance is important for races.
for qualy close-ups are fine IMO.
....or piboso gives us a way to keep the cam focussed on multiple bikes as long as they are close enough to each other.
Okay Nick will do it now.
DD
Thanks Buddy ;)
Its up, hope I set it up okay for you guys. Oh and it is nice and sunny lol
DD
Cool everyone has left mine now so it is down UFN thx ;)
PS I will ask MMA to sit on yours when she can
you remember the admin password?
DD
It looks like people going on it but then leaving?????
Can someone say if they have a problem please

Hi Guys,
I just remade the overlay for GPBOC streaming. I used some of your screenshots as they are brilliant and show how good GPB is. Please can I use your pics for this overlay.
(http://iasystems.tk/pics/gpb/New%20Stream%20Overlay.jpg)
Thanks to all for the pics. You think this is okay for the overlay???
DD
EDIT: Just added "All pictures are ingame screenshots" as it is something I think we all like to know when looking at a sim for the first time.
Had I not known about GpBikes if I stumbled across this on Youtube I would be reaching for my wallet like Clint at a gunfight.
Looks great DD! ;D 8)
Hawk.
Thanks guys.
I sent Pib a PM about putting the price on it too as it would really help being so low a price it would stop people thinking it costs the same as MotoGP and RIDE and they would be MORE interested and likely to spend the money, BUT as usual I get no replies from the big boss himself.
DD

I don't believe there is any legal reasons you cannot publish the price of an already published product price, so personally I'd just go ahead and put the price on it. If Pib objects then he only has himself to blame for not responding to your request. You can always remove it if he does object, but I cannot see any reason for any objections - after all it's free advertising right. ;) 8)
Hawk
Exactly Hawky and I do not understand him ignoring such a request. I know I use a bit of space for my ad on the overlay but it is clear this is for GPB and not me!!!
DD
PS I am happy to do it all just GPB but I dont see why I should.
ah much better
....and thanks for using my screenshot :D
Thanks for letting me use it vin
DD
EDIT: Anyone know if YouTube would be funny about a price for a product being shown? Legal shit?
nah
Okay I will give this one a try and see what happens.

nice race stream dd
only the ending needs a bit of tweaking :D
make race standings / podium / last lap more clear
dont know if this is possible with the current state of thegame
Enjoyed your live stream DD, though I could not see it at first.... Does it only start broadcasting the actual live stream 10 mins after actual start?
Just a shame so many riders cored out or couldn't connect to start with. 8 riders left from 24 is not good.
But I did really enjoy the show DD! Especially when Meyer started to catch up to the front guys rapidly! ;D
Well done DD... Your doing a great job considering the limits GPB puts on you to do this live streaming. Great stuff mate! ;D 8)

AHHH!! F'ing Hell mate! You wouldn't believe how much I was routing for ya! I really thought you were going to get back right up there with the front guys because you were lapping a lot quicker at that stage..... just a shame you left it too late in the race really, but if you had overheating tyre probs then not a lot more you could've done... But yeah it was good watching you reelling them all in mate! ;D 8)

Haha yeah, after first few laps it came, then i changed my riding about 6-7 lap and it all startet getting better haha :D but yeah, made a mistake on last lap which probably cost me 3rd place haha, anyways, i had a lot of fun seeing the other riders getting closer and with some great passes on my way :D my lap 2 pass on Tommaso was great! :D
@Vin i was on hards both front and rear, 2.20 both front and rear seemed to be best for me, the smoother you could be, the better it got to be honest. I changed my braking a bit earlier and throttle earlier but more gentle and that helped a lot on my tyres :)
2.2 on the hard front???
if i did that on the m1 i would have probably been unable to continue after lap 3 laps due to lowsides.
got lucky man, usually once the tyre is gone, it's gone.
Yeah front was not my problem, my setup seemed to be harder on rear.
I had a lot of problems in practice with hards, after few laps, lean would be less due to overheated tyres, but got it working for race, knew softs wouldn't last for me
Thanks guys.
SO SORRY, audio was fine then went POFF!!! and was shite, no idea why it just happened. I did not go out of the GPB window or touch a thing, onest m8 lol.
Well it was such a shame so many cored out, bummer.
Need lots of help from you guys as it is fooking hard to know who is who with different paints each week and 3 guys on same bike or someone changes bike at last minuet.
It is getting a bit better, a bit lol.
DD
ill stick to this paint combo now
Any chance the livestream replay on Youtube can be 720p capable? The current 360 res replay playback is too grainy by far DD. ;)
Hawk.
If you change the setting Hawky you can go right up to 1080p ;)
Ok, so I did not get to comment on the race as it is closed bummer.
Hawk, all videos are 1080p 30fps bro!!! Best watched on YT
https://www.youtube.com/v/K_MX4ntFIbU&t=4m54s
I am bushed so will say what I have to say about server rules in the morning.

Great job there! :)
I love your reaction at the 5 min mark :D :o
Once again mate, no map or info to know what is going on and my core during qually because I went to the replay window meant I did not want to do too much and get another core during the stream lol.
Audio fucked up anyways FFS.................................(sound of DD throwing toys!!!)
You rode well my friend. Congrats on the podium, better have saved me some champas lol

Yeah i know, i am waiting that too so you can have a map and see where the fights are :) i am not blaming you at all, just made some nice passes on a few guys this race, the MotoGP bikes are great for close racing, as they are stable and easy to pick up if a rider dives under you :)
Yeah, sadly it ruined the last part a bit, but sill great fun listening and watching!
Haha i have plenty left for you mate! Luckily it wasn't Pommac this time as we got in swedish and nordic championship!
As a norwegian friend/rival i was racing with said "det smaker piss!" (it tastes of pee) and then he gave it to a mechanic that liked the Pommac haha
LMAO
lol that was funny at the start ;D just a small correction not that it matters.. stowe corner at the end of hanger straight, not copse.. i only know this because iv'e had a BIG crash at copse corner on my road bike on a trackday :D Cool video nice one! 8)
I know where those corners are but sometimes it is hard to figure where the scene is coming from different cams or being in a different view.
I am new at this. Thats my excuse and I am sticking with it lol.
Thanks anyways BOBPPPPPPPPPPPP
Shame I didnt get to see more of you in the race bro. Had a few Black Adder voices to throw into the comments lol
DD
Well I really enjoyed that Live DD!
Was nice you following Kerazo and Thomaso. I was in pub on WiFi on phone watching, wife was talking, I was nodding, muttering come on Kerazo! She figured out I wasn't listening to her in the end and I missed a lot of the rest, but what I did see was ace Man! Good job.
Hahahaa man I wish I had had a phone that was youtube video capable with me tonight too. Maybe I could of enjoyed my first race off for a while glancing at that now and again, rather than reading snidey forum comments.
Glad you enjoyed it. Sorry about audio.
I am getting better but it is harder than you think to commentate live when you have no info and the riders are all on different bikes each week.
Thanks for the support and actually using the stream, made my night mate.

I didn't race DD, i pulled out, joined for practice but suffered some weird shit with my bike.. No grip at all, checked everything was all good. it seemed to be, thought the track/weather settings may have changed but nope.. i don't know what to say! that on top of connection lag i just lost enthusiasm for it tonight..
will take some time out from playing and try to learn how to paint bikes for a while. i will enjoy doing that but i found it hard last time (sorry matty) don't know much about different files and where to put stuff :-[ nevermind photoshop or gimp as i tried to use last time.

I nearly didn't watch it at all last night, couldn't find a link to the youtube channel on me phone. Eventually used the forum search, then searched through the threads while wifey was powdering her nose....Can you make the link a bit more accessible ? At least a link in the first post of this thread. It might get more people watching then.
Quality on phone was brilliant! The design around the video window looks cool, colourfull and professional. I had no trouble hearing you, sound was a good mix of bikes and commentator. At least until something went wrong and everything you said echo'd.
I can imagine who hard it is. I can see now that looking at one rider in 3rd or 4th will give you no info on the current leader, who's crashed, who's passed who etc. It's just a focus on one rider at a time. The main bit missing for me was rider positions. I just wanted a constant update on everyone's position, but I see now that would be impossible. When looking at a particular rider you can see his position in the info above, with best lap, current lap etc. Great info if you can see that, but I couldn't make it out on my phone.
Sound must have been realistic anyway, when the wife caught me she asked if I was watching motoGP. I said er, well, yes! And I was.
Lol! Nice report Nuo !
THanks for the kind words guys, after reading comments that it was "Boring" it helps.
I have a feeling it could be my Corsair Raptor headphones, lose wire? not sure so will be looking into it as not the first time it happened.
I will make a BIG link on first page Nuo thanks for pointing that out and giving me a good report on how it looks and sounds on a phone live, cool report thanks bro.
I am just waking up and after reading all the SHIT being said am wondering what I should say, as I do need to say something if I am going to be running races too.
Nick I hope you had a great drink buddy, you deserve a break m8.
Matty..........There is an olde wise English saying "FUCK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!" it is a bit like "WOOSAAA" but has a quicker healing to your soul and takes away some of the tension you feel. Maybe you should try this approach instead of being such a nice chappy. I find it very soothing.

Well BUGGER ME! Lol ;D
Does it take time for Youtube to convert it to 1080p then? I watched it again soon after your live broadcast and it would only allow 360 res.
Hawk.
@Hawk, yes it takes quite a time for YouTube to convert it even though it was a live stream. It depends on the length of the stream, just like uploading a video.
If you watch it live, it will be 1080p or anything you chose under that for your bandwidth.
This is why I need to get the Elgato as it help to make the process of streaming quicker via how it can compress the data to stream making it quicker in some technical wiz way and make the quality better to boot.
I need to make a video so I can explain a few things about what I need YOU guys to do to make the streams better. It is all about having the info to talk about and knowing who the hell who is lol.
More coming your way soon
DD
Just watched the stream recording to check out a few things and I figured that the mic echo from the start is because I am now actually facing a wall. Before I was in the middle of the room. I just had new windows fitted in the "Commentary Box" after waiting a year for the stupid landlord to get them fixed!!! No heating in UK is no fun lol.
I will need to play about a bit more as it was fine in testing, but during the race it sucked.
Still trying to figure this audio problem where it just goes to poo for no reason after some time in GPB. If I turn off GPB all other audio is fine. Maybe another new GPB bug on not. I need to find it quick lol
DD
Ello ello
So.............................back in testing mode
I have been forking about with Windows and OBS and think this is about right for volumes. Please tell me what you think, YOU are the ones watching and this is to get others into buying and riding in GPB.
I found that my mic was the issue(I am 99% sure lol) the problem may have been the hub it was plugged into, not really sure.
On the point of audio, GPB is over sensitive and will stop having any sound if anything happens outside of the sim. IE If I quickly unplug and then plug in my headphones it screws the sound totally, or make a swap from output device and it again loses any sound. I dont get this with any other games/sims? Any ideas?
So here is a quick test on volumes, I NEED your input please guys.
https://www.youtube.com/v/VYxtDTJWTeI
I did this in windowed mode, I do think it lost some quality, once again, need you feedback on this. Windowed mode makes it easier for me to use and control other programs without interrupting the stream when GPB closes the fullscreen down if I click on another screen.
Eventually I will get a proper mic and separate, smaller headphones to improve quality of sound.
Still in the early stages but we are getting there.
Thanks to all that give me feedback. This is for you guys and the future of GPB!!!
your voice vs bike volume seems fine to me.. can here some bass interference in my headphones but its quiet.. can't tell the difference between normal and windowed, all looks good to me! not as many bouncy bikes this time either ;)
Just watched on my Motorola Android tablet wireless in the garden in both windowed and full screen and it was perfect. Audio was clear, it didn't drown you out when onboard and it looked great. I assume using a replay file makes the smoothness even better.
I will have to compare your windowed mode against your full screen mode when back at the Uber PC
Maybe it is because of your new windows. They are 'Microsoft Windows' I assume?
Lol Nick!
I just played that on tablet, looked perfect to me. Same as last night on the phone.
Frame rate good, bikes clear. Sound balance is good, but as you say, when looking frm wheels it tends to drown you out. So to be safe, I would turn the bike volume down 10%. Its more important to hear you than the bikes!
Thanks guys.
Lol Nuo, thats the first time someone said they want to hear me over a bike hehe.
Still testing. Cant get rid of 15 sec delay from live to youboob its the same for the rest of the world I think lol.
DD
DD you can put the link to your live channel in your forum profile, signature :)
And indeed the quality is awesome in a smartphone. ;)
Quick thinking batman...........I mean Warlock...............DONE.....................Thanks for the tip bro
So here's a test at 45fps, reduced volumes and windowed.
https://www.youtube.com/v/sm_nUFsFR68
I think it looks a bit faster???
DD
EDIT: COCK, I still cant get rid of the hum???

Was an answer to Vin in the chat streaming ::)
@DD: I use speakers not headphones and I'm finding the bikes sound is perfect but you could do with just a bit more volume on the commentary channel so I can hear you clearly above the bike noise, especially when switching to the other views were the bike sound increases. Some of us are getting old f*ckers you know!! Hehe ;D ;D

I saw that now bro, no probs.
I will admit though I kinda bore myself lol. I need stuff to talk abou and with riders not always on the same bike like in real racing, it is very hard to know who is who, plus with a fast moving bike on screen you cant always read numbers and details if there are a few bikes very similar, same with helmets.
I am working on things to improve it and will be sharing soon.
NEW THREAD: Teamspeak will be up soon.
Blacky I need your bikes to have a streetbike series bro!!!
DD
audio mix and image quality is perfect, dd.
image quality will definitely not get better and there is barely any lag (as in framerate drops, not netcode stuff), as well which is what I am most happy about :D
i'd change the framerate from 45 to 48 (double-cinema). could you do a 1080p48 test video of some onboard replays to really see how fluid the motion is?
to be honest, i don't think the elgato is necessary after watching the video, at least for the video quality.
of course it will make the setup much easier to control and it will be much more reliable.
Thanks for the 48 tip Vin
Yes the Elgato is also for control, software and more that makes the streaming far better, it is a MUST have item to do this right.
DD
Will do a 1080 48 test on the new GPBOC5 server once setup in the morning
I have a 40" screen vin and I know the HD60S will improve the streaming quality big time. It means my GPU will not have to do 2 jobs and help the CPU too plus the software and direct YT connection will help. I have the software but cant use it. Great interface to work with.
GPBOC5 is up and running.
Is set up for H to test the 916A3 Online at the moment.
DD
5! Soon we will have enough server power to re-animate the long dead heroes of motorcycle history DD Von Frunkenschteen!
lol did you say that in your best Sean Connery accent lol
I want to get it so I have 4 servers for different types of racing and riding including mod bike test server.
When you move I seriously need a dedicated system but cant afford it right now but trying to sort something out via hackspace.
DD
yeah the elgato will definitely be the "clean" and more errorproof solution, although i'm really impressed with the quality you achieved with your current setup!
looking forward to lagfree 1080p60 streams :D
edit: where is the download for latest duc 916?
Okay so I am starting to feel bad about having to shut down the servers when I need to as I often need to reboot my PC due to working with software and hardware where it is really best to reboot. This is a bitch as it means the servers have to be shut down and if someone is on them it is bollocks for them.
My ASUS is expensive and all I have. I can not risk leaving it running 24/7 sorry. So I need to build a server system. It wont need a great graphics card and bells and whistles but it will need SATA for the HD and fast internet capabilities. I am trying all the people and places I know to see what I can do and thought that maybe it was worth asking you guys if you have parts laying about you dont use.
We already have a fast 500GB 7200RPM SATA HD, good internet connection that will be upgraded in a few months to 150/150. Now we need a dedicated home for the drive. I intend to run at least 4 servers for various race classes and types. I know how to build a fast PC ask Grimm. I have been doing it since the late 80,s.
I am in UK so really this is to UK guys because of shipping. Do any of you have old PC components that we can use to build a club server? This thing will need to run 24/7 365 lol
I fully intend to build a brand new system/s once I get the money. I have no problem spending money for the club if I have it. I really enjoy being able to do something as I am shit at modeling lol.
Thanks guys
DD
I was only thinking lately how annoying it is that this is happening now as I have a lot of parts but none of it is accessible anymore until after the great move (which fell through a couple of weeks back now in the process again).
Do you already have an OS to put on it?
Hey DD when I'm at home and I don't see your servers on, I can startup the server on my pc :)
I should be able to use the key from my laptop which had 7 home premium I think but I put 7 Ultimate on it and upgraded to 10 with the Ultimate key.
Just need to get a copy of home premium

I am partitioning the drive today for the future to run more servers. I ran 2 on the same partition yesterday but think its best to do each in its own partition, right NIck?
Both Will be up later

I might have an old nvidia GT8800 available. Shes old and used but defnetly a war horse and more than cabable as a graphics card for a server. (Ive got two actually and an unidentified as of yet ATI gpu but those are already earmarked)
Anything that gets a dedicated server up is good Nick. The 8800 is a hot running card so would need to be changed eventually. Nvidea is always better than ATI lol sorry personal tastes slipped out hehe
Hackspace has nothing at the moment but will keep looking. Gonna troll around local PC shops and see if I can scrounge some shit too lol. Maybe find a sponsor lol.
So what is the moving situation now?
DD
I like using different partitions to keep it clean and 'OCD tidy' for the various save folders and for keeping separate ports for good data flow but it is not essential.
Moving; Judging by the fact I have had to yet again stick a rocket under the solicitors ass, it is weeks away still.
An 8800 is still excessive for the server and won't even get used probably.
Well after todays shit from TS3 I am pissed off and gonna partition any way.
My Start menu programs stopped working so I checked, saw Windows had updated(I have auto update OFF but it dont fuckin work!!!) so I did a restore tothe point before, which uninstalled the 2nd server and still the same shit. So I went through what I had done and it turns out that having the TS3 overlay just turned on in TS3 stops the start menu programs from working, turn it off, they work WT FFS lol
SO gonna do a partition party, make some servers and test just to see how it is and how they are on one system. Thinking about it, I recon a 30GB per partition per server should work if kept clean. Right now each Server is 10GB in file size with bikes and tracks. What you think?
DD
shouldn't the 8800 also be fast enough for spectating races?
8800 is okay but eventually to spectate I prefer it from a separate computer.
I think with GPB being so temperamental it is best to leave it alone as much as possible lol
DD
GPBOC 4, 5 and 6 up for testing.
GPBOC5 Has the roadbikes with NR750, Ducati 916A1 AND 916A3 as they handle differently. If this is a problem for anyone let me know on Teamspeak3 Server IP: 82.43.148.211 password : yougetin
DD
Nice one DD. try to keep 10Gb free space per partition at all time as swop space. And beware the race results filling it up with old replays, classification info, and later ........RESUME files! ;)
Well we still have to go through all that yet lol.
But I have 20GB free per partition and can change the size if I need to
This is a hard week at the mo but next week can get on learning to hold races etc
Have ideas to reduce cores and keep all happy too
DD
COME ON GUYS!!!!
I can not read minds. YOU have to let me know what you want for bikes and tracks, I will try to cater for all but cant promise it.
There is an error on the WHATS ON thread as I will not run IOM on all 3 servers. I personally do not like the version graphically and will put it on 1 server only. If you wish a mix of bikes thats fine guys but not on 3 servers that is selfish to others.
I have left the 916A1 in the Road bikes as many prefer it to the A3 for handling. You need the NR750, 916A1 and A3 to get on the server.
DD
Whats On: Its just a note not to miss the IOM on TV ;D
Didn't think anyone read that anyway except us. ;)

Why not just use the "Open" category for bikes? That way people can ride whatever bike they wish to ride at the time. ;)
As far as tracks go:
- Silverstone
- Donington National
- Mallory Park
- Imola
- Croft
- A1 Ring
- Aragon
- Assen Dutch TT
- Brno
- Castle Comb
- Jerez
- Misano 03
- Snetterton 300
- Snetterton 200
- Spa-Francorchamps
- Monza
Hawk.
BAD idea to use OPEN as it means if you are missing one bike from what is on the server you can not ride Hawk!!!.
Not only that but IRL it is not good to mix certain bikes on certain tracks as it will be crash after crash and stress would happen.
Certain mixed groups like MotoGP and GP500 are fine. That is really the only type to just have on the server and leave it.Other mixes can be asked for.
Just giving a list of tracks dont help at all. It is rather a chore having to think for everyone. I feel I am not doing a good enough job and quite useless tbh
As I said I cant read minds, your the ones wanting to ride and know each other on the track so chat between each other a figure out what would make all happy and jump in the air with joy!!!
DD
Rossi Rule !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If a client has a bike missing that is on the server they cannot connect, period. Allowing bikes onto the server that are not in the bikeMOD Database is a very bad idea for this very reason because then people have to go searching for bikeMOD links on forum threads that are not in the bikeMOD database; so always best to stick only to the BikeMOD database version on servers to save client connection problems. That keeps everything standard with no problems of whether clients have the same bikes as on the servers. That was the main reason the BikeMOD database was founded so we finally got some organisation and common ground to avoid those kind of issues. ;)
As far as the open bike category - I can't see the problem because we used to always have the open bike category on servers with all sorts of bike on track at once and it wasn't a problem at all, really! It is dangerous in RL, but hey, were talking about a simulation here and no one is going to get hurt, no? Lol ;D
Tracks: I gave a list of good tracks so that you could possibly put them in a server track rotation list, or if you prefer just to put a different descent track up each week. Is that no help to you? I mean what do you want? Say what you want DD, because I've listed some good tracks there, what else can we do? Lol ;D
Hawk.
Indeed ROSSI does RULE!!!!! Hehe! ;D ;D
Hawky dont get me wrong bro, A list helps but there is more than one person wanting to ride, that is what I mean by input bro.
I want to keep one server to help get shy and new people used to racing online (GPBOC6) as I think it would help split server use and give new riders a chance to practice online where it is more stable than offline and maybe have a few guys help out there with tips, plus I think S80 on Imola would be a blast and good match for veterans too lol.
Obviously with real life MotoGP going on a server for that is always of interest I think so how about setting GPBOC for that kinda of regular venue to match the real races where tracks are good to ride?
I dont think I can handle too many servers but wanted to offer something for the modders to use too. I remember Blacky and H saying about size of the bikes data effecting fps online so thought it might have to offer something that can be used for testing and other class racing too.
As soon as I can build a dedicated server and my internet bandwidth gets increased( a month or so now with luck) I can run more servers for more classes and event.
I still have to learn to host a race yet lol.
DD
OPPS, oh well I started.
About Open Hawky.
No matter what way it is done even with the data base there are still many that dont have or want certain bikes and then there is a problem and they cant ride.
I will NOT run open because of that being a fact. I have discussed it with Nick and we both agree OPEN is not a good class to use.
You can not expect people to HAVE to install bikes on their system if they do not want to and it would lead to those people or someone that makes a mistake to having bike mismatch which leads to server owners having to spend/waste time looking for a problem that is not there.
DD

Well all I can say is "
good luck with that", because it's a fact that if the client doesn't have the bikes that the server has then the client cannot connect; this is why a
standard list of bikes(the bikMOD database) is a good thing -
it avoids connection problems due to missing bikes. And until Piboso can figure out how to allow connections without having to have all the same bikes installed that the server has installed then we have to deal with it. :)
But unless I'm misunderstanding you with the idea you have there for it, your always going to get people who cannot connect because they don't know what bikes are installed on your server. This was the problem we had years ago DD, and this is the problem that was solved with the bikeMOD database list of bikes; it's a place where everyone knows they can find the latest bikeMODs that are being used on the online servers.
I mean don't get me wrong DD..... I would love to only have the 2 stroke bikes installed and still be able to connect to a server that had 2 stroke and 4 stroke bikes installed, but at the moment that would not be possible. :)
I think your idea of installing the track(so long as it's a decent track surface) that is being used for the actual RL MotoGP events for that week is a great idea DD! Go for it mate!! ;D 8)
Hawk.
LOL Hawky yeah I think there be a wee bit of mis understanding bro hehe.
I try to list the bikes in the server name to let folks know what is needed to join.
I feel bad about having to shut down my laptop and close the servers around 12.30AM to 1 AM but I need sleep and so does my lappy lol.
THANKS TO THE GUYS FOR UNDERSTANDING WHEN I SAY I AM SHUTTING DOWN
I am trying my best to sort out a system for a dedicated 24/7 server service but aint got the spondoolies right now.
DD
Hi all, DD asked me to post that the server is down because his electricity is out. I think it's the whole block there.
Hope it gets sorted soon, DD!
Hi guys sorry but power on the whole block just upped and fuckered off NOT lol
Back up now so hope no more interruptions.
Thanks cdx for the post to tell you all I was not just down the pub and forgot you lol
DD
Thank You Mr Meyer for the £10 donation to the club
I also got a 5.55 euro come onto the account and no GPB name with it just the personal name "Stephan W*******" so if it is a club member please step forward?
DD
yes, that was me from my secondary paypal account.
...for the direct-lean bet :D
Thank you vin97 from all at GPBOC for the donation of 5.55 euros
DD
A very big thank you from the club to FINPOWER who donated a generous 40euros!!!
I can now start ordering parts to start building the dedicated server/live streaming system for GPBOC.
I am in the process of also contacting ASUS and seeing if we can get some sponsorship for advertising using ROG components.
I will naturally try other companies to see if I can get some funds for the club too.
DD
Hi guys
So its been a few stressful weeks but getting there lol
Server internet speed upgrade to 150MB/150MB coming on August 20th so should be better for riding and streaming.
I need to know what races you guys are interested in holding and when. We need to get regular races going again!!!
DD
Good to hear mate. 8)
Yeah... Good news! ;D 8)
Would be great to start regular Live-Streamed races again! I'm getting withdrawal symptoms here! Hehe! ;D 8)
Hawk.
I used some of the donation money to get an Excelvan BM8000 Mic, Mic boom and Pop Shield for commentary as the bloody Raptor Headset gets on my tits and the mic was shite. Vocals are clearer with no hiss or hum now.
I cant afford it yet but I will upgrade to 200/200 on the internet speed when I can. Its an extra tenna a month!!!
SO..........................WHAT is the next race to be guys.............I CANT fucking read minds!!!! ;D
DD
How's about a GP500 race at Assen! ;D
Full race distance... no crappy 10-15 lap sprint races please! :P ;D
Hawk.
PS: How's about wet weather too? Lol ;D
I'm in for a wet race on the 500s.
we could just make the fuel tank a little bigger, then full distance races will be no problem.
Test first. Didn't we find B8 had made wet almost impossible? What with what seems like all items not classified as 'track' surface now being far too slippery I thought we tried wet and gave it up lol.
Long time ago though so could of just been that day or track or bike combination. Testicles.

Come to think of it I do remember something about that Nick. :-\
It was so long ago I can't remember exactly(A senior moment). Lol ;D
Sounds like a test is needed to make sure a wet track is okay and if a full tank will do the full race distance. ;)
Hawk.
OKay so lets be practical.........................
GPB is NOT stable yet. To start with. The higher the number of bikes. laps and if its raining will make the chance of core crashes rise. I want real race distance and wet races too BUT the netcode is not stable and it is a bitch to set up such a race to only spend the whole fricking evening with core crashes and folks then being pissed off for the next week and posting it all over the forum in 20 frickin different threads!!!
We HAVE to be realistic no matter WHAT we WANT we can ONLY get SO much!!!
As soon as rider numbers get over 16 or so it starts to raise the core chances significantly. So.........do we make it so we all suffer this shit time and time again or settle for a stable a fun race? If you want a full length wet race we need to keep the numbers down as wet alone could be a bitch on its own. We should use a track that has been recently updated or proved to be very stable and return good FPS with many riders on it.
How are the bikes on wet tyres? Are the 500's okay with wets, I dont know, or would the new MotoGP set be better? Just asking as there has been overheating on hard tyres before and not up to date on how things are?
Just trying to get it so everyone is thinking on the same level. CORE CRASH= FUCKED RACE
NO CORES= COOL FUN RACE!!!
@Hawky..............I know you have a fetish buddy its okay. I have learned to love the 500 2st as well and it would be cool IF wet tyres work?
If there is going to be a large number of riders then we could think of a 3 Split Race where first so many placeholders from first 2 races then fight it out in the 3rd. Reduces cores big time until Pib fixes netcode?
I am just throwing ideas to make it a coreless race for everyone.
@Modders..........Are there any planned updates of any bikes soon so as to ensure no confusion of having an update of a bike on race day and then some guys missing it and total mayhem happens?
I will set up GPBOC5 server for Wet with 500's on Assen Dutch TT_V0.7_NDS and you can try it out. Server is up.
DD
EDIT how many laps is full race distance on Assen? Not looked it up lol
Just saw the NSR500 2001 has NO wet tyres only softs??? 95 was okay. Did not check the MZ or MUZ?
I just had a look in the config file for Assen and it says 19 laps which is good as it's not too many laps.
As for using very recent updated bikemods on servers and connection problems due to riders not knowing what version bikes are on the servers: That's what the bikemod database was setup for so that everyone knows that if they have the bikemods from the bikemod database installed then they can connect to servers without any problems. So best for all server admins to just stick with what bikes are in the bikemod database as they have done in the past and problem solved. Simple. :)
Me asking for a wet race was just a hope, but a dry race would probably air on the side of caution to avoid any core.exe crash problems. I agree. ;)
As far as I can remember we've always enjoyed a pretty coreless race on Assen(apart from the usual risk which can never be accounted for until GPB v1.0 is released).
Number of riders: If I was you, I would keep the max number of riders down to 18 on a first come first serve basis on the sign-up event promotion page to reduce the chances of a core.exe crash fest.
Hawk.
18 sounds safe.
I PM'ed Manu about the NSR having wets, so its in his capable hands lol.
I will ask that riders make a final decision as to bike and paint and that all riders use their own number on a paint. If it is a factory paint I offer to add the number for them so we can stop having 40 fuckin Rossi's on the track!!! It wont take much to do it for 18 riders lol
DD
....+1 for the 500cc assen wet race
I agree Vin. I think it's great fun! ;D
It's does require a lot of throttle control to keep the rear-end from spinning out when exiting corners and using the gears sensibly to stop the rear from spinning...... Not sure whether that will attract more people to join the race or put more people off?
But yeah.... I think Piboso has got the wet tyres a little too slick for the wet conditions, I'm sure the tyres shouldn't be that slippy on wets?
But I've not encountered any server problems as yet.... Not had any core.exe crashes(fingers crossed! Lol).
Could do with a good few people on there all at once to stress test it though. :)
The Varase indicates that on a full tank it can do 23 laps, so no issues for that bike if we're doing only 19 laps. ;)
Hawk
My only issue is that I cant use my Rothmans 2001 NSR and I prefer its handling but waiting to hear from Manu. I want to try and get guys to all have their own numbers on the bikes even if I have to do the paints as I said. No biggy to do.
I will leave GPBOC5 as is but after Nick told me about track condition settings I might drop the wet to 50% and try different air temps to see if it makes things better.
DD
NSR500 2001 Wet Tyres!!!
Okay.................I am no modder BUT I thought about the fact you guys seem to want a wet 500 race but the NSR500 2001 has no wet tyres!! So...........I took the data from the 95's wet tyres and edited the 01's soft tyres to be exactly as them and it works. I can not edit the edf file for a visual change so I HAD to use the original soft file to do this and it works 100% but just looks like a slick.
Download and unzip the folder . Copy and paste the 4 files from the folder into your NSR500 2001 folder and hey presto you got wets for it.
Matty made it possible to have soft and wet tyres so he deserves the most credit.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/o3oootr594ndmqc/Honda_NSR500_2001_Wet_tyre_MOD.rar (http://www.mediafire.com/download/o3oootr594ndmqc/Honda_NSR500_2001_Wet_tyre_MOD.rar)
This means that you will get a bike mismatch if you do not do this so let me know as it is only fair guys who want to ride the 01 can.
DD
Does this mean you cannot select softs on the 2001?
This means that there are still ONLY softs for wet racing. If it is a dry race you would have to replace the mod files with the originals. This is a pain but only thing I could do for a wet race with the 2001. I am no modder so it was just a thinking outside the box solution.
If you put these files in you only have wet tyres!!!
DD
When i get home i will make the wet tyres seperate for people to use :)
If no one else get to it first :P
I know that the 95 and 01 use different edf fies so I did not want to furk around and worry about the looks. Who sees the tyre when riding lol. It works perfectly just a pain.
DD
The link above has been updated.
Thanks to Matty for making it possible to have soft and wet tyres on the 01 now.

Are those default WET Tyre grip settings for the updated wet tyres on the NSR 500 01 or custom ones with more wet grip? Just wondering if the NSR 500 01 now has a grip advantage over the other 500's still using the default wet grip tyres settings? Has anyone checked? :)
Hawk.
Exactly the same as 95.

Are all wet tyres the same though..... that is the question? Lol ;D
Hawk.
you'll probably be a bit slower with the 2001 nsr because the rear likes to slide more (most likely caused by the chassis stiffness).
there could be a top speed advantage, not sure about that one, should be easy to test.

AWW poor Hawky Wawky got no painty wainty :'(
Well I might find time and have to make you one wont l. Any idea on wot?

With the number 7 on of course, and you'll have to have a little bit of artistic license for painting the rear seat fairing too with the NSR not having the same amount of space to paint those go faster Yamaha stripes. ;D
Hawk.
PS: I don't know when your planning on having this race? But to save you work, if the race is scheduled for Sunday evenings then you'll have to count me out because we do bike testing with the CAWS team on Sunday evenings right now. :-\
Well at least the 01 the paint is not as hard to do as 95 with bloody split in the middle of the fairing top.
I will have a go as soon as I can.
As for race time...............that is what you guys need to talk about between yourselves to figure out when all can race. I know next sunday matty will be away from home, Hawky and CAWS are testing so figure for a Wednesday night race maybe?
I am real busy with all going on and can only do my best but you guys need to think a bit too. This is where you should be using the GPBOC Teamspeak server to actually chat about this sort of thing.
Teamspeak Server: Server IP: 82.43.148.211 user password : yougetin
Well I'm easy for any night except Sunday evenings for the foreseeable future. ;)
Hawk.
Like I said Hawkster, people need to actually speak up and say when they can race like you say as I cant fucking read minds lol ;D
I try to give as much as I can so guys can race but if they just sit there expecting me to make a decision only to get posts saying they cant race on that night I am not going to waste time setting a race and then having to change it all and feel like a dick.
Oh well, gives me more time to make your paint m8, but Yam paint on a Honda, seriously bro lol
DD
Any time next week for me. After that I'm outta here. ;)
Why don't you just go with Wednesday and make an advert.? Can always change the date if not enough plump up. People know the format and what to do to join. In a multi-cultural/lingual society simplicity is key, along with strong leadership from an awesome guy. :P
So you mean something like
Listen up bitches!!! We are racing on Wednesday night be there POINT!!!
or is that still too wuzzy? I mean I am not even sure some people can actually read and need pictures?
I am such a bitch at times.........................bite me!!!
All joking aside I know what you mean Nick, I just try to make as many happy as I can. Guess I need to change my gameplan lol.
DD
Hehe sommat like that, just needs a countdown. ;) Like your last race ad.
What do you mean about your outta here, I hope it mean vacation?

That's more like it mate! More of that attitude is what we want!!! Hehe! ;D
You can't please everyone and there will always be those that can't race on a certain day and time, so yeah, just set your time and day and lets do it. Those that can't make it then that's tuff, it's up to them to make time if they want to race...... The only exception to that would be if the majority wanted to change to a particular day and time, then you could make that change based on majority needs.
But for sure you'll never please everyone DD, as much as I know you'd love to help and please everyone as much as you can, but it don't work, it can't work..... So just let those few that say they can't ride at on that day or time reschedule for the benefit of the majority. That's life! ;D
Hawk.
Okay cool. I think its a bit short to have one this week so I am gonna go sit in the park, drink a beer and chill while I think some shit up.
Oh and...............................
BITCHES get on the servers and test the wet tyres out to make sure a wet race will work!!!
I dont wanna hear about you pussies getting wet and getting your bikes dirty either!!!
DD
(http://i.imgur.com/fDUynDk.jpg)
give it a few more days of testing different track conditions and setups.
other wet races will benefit from it, too.
Great idea vin and thanks for the help with the tests m8.

DD
No no now I have to ;D
Had some laps on the NSR on a Wet GPBOC5 - great fun. Hope this race goes ahead. :)
I saw you were on but have been busy. When can you race Nick as you said you were going away or something so you get to chose, besides its time you had fun right lol
DD
Well after weekend I am vacating yes, so tomorrow, Fri or Sat is about it for me. Too short notice now I guess but it doesn't matter I can catch you guys on the flip side, sometime. ;)
Well I can hold a race wednesday night but hardly anyone has been even trying it out???
Folks said we want wet race then nobody bothers to practice lol so........................................

Were's your event promo page DD..... You need to post the event date and time or hardly anyone is likely to turn up. :P
I haven't practiced much because I'm so good I don't need practice! My nose is growing longer for some reason now! Hehe! ;D
But no seriously I'll be there if it's tomorrow too, but from what I've read here no one knows anything about when the race is going to be held(day or time)?? :-\
Hawk.
Hi Hawky I will get something up for tomorrow in a wee bit just got in and need a coffee. It has been a bit hectic by me and Matty's system has had priority due to me being me and wanting a few things better hehe.
I will set a race for 8PM UK time as thats normal time right? Will make it a sorta test race so Nick has a chance to race before he naffs off on VayKay. Will make full race distance 19 laps I was told and it will be pissing down!!! (Needs to stay wet or tyres overheat) And its 500's at Assen as requested.
DD
If I can remember how to do the timer that is lol

Well I've signed up for the race..... How's the bike paint coming on mate? ;D

Oh shit!!! I totally forgot Hawk. I am under some real stress right now so will try my best m8
DD
Hi guys.
So...........I took the plunge and upgraded the internet speeds for the GPBOC servers to 200MB/200MB.
This gives us a physical 210MB stable download speed and 12.5MB upload speed. Thats double the old speeds so the servers should be smoother for you guys.
It costs me an extra £15 a month so if anyone feels kind enough to help out with these additional cost it would be appreciated. It is not expected and I am willing to do what I can for you guys but I aint no millionaire lol.
Well I hope it makes things better for future racing and live streaming which will be resuming shortly.
Thanks to a sale to the Texas Police Dept I have ordered a new webcam and tripods for multi cam and more content in future videos and live streams. With the new BM8000 Excelvan Studio mic things should also sound a bit better.
Well let me know if there are any issues after this upgrade that is now in effect.
Have a great weekend guys
DD
Sorry for the server loss around 11PM guys. Had power go out for some reason.
DD
hi,
i have all the latest bikes, i can enter the moto2 server but not the motogp (GPBOC4), i'm not alone in this case, what can we do?
I have 1.4 of MotoGP and was working before. I will look into it. Make sure you have 11 MotoGP bikes and not 10 as the GP15 RS was missing from the pack before!!!

Thanks for saying
DD
It is the latest version of Misano: Misano 03 V0.8_NDS.................NOT v0.7
As the REAL racing is on GP track, I need too know if you guys want a server with it. All seem to ride on the v0.8 NDS which is the wrong direction, but if you want both I can make a server with the GP too???
Let me know
DD
It always bugged me why we on GP Bikes always seem to race on Misano in the old direction. :P
I just use the newest tracks but it is up to you guys to say what you want. I can only do my best BUT......................
I cant read minds!!!
;D

The old direction does flow better from corner to corner, even the riders agree with that..... I don't know why they changed the direction at all? Bloody FIM in their infinite wisdom again no doubt. ::) :P
Hawk.
Is there a race anyday soon for Misano ?
It will be a week or two before I start organizing races again but if anyone wishes to hold one they can PM me for Adnin password to control a server for a races.

Got it just send details for basic setup and you got the server

HI Guys and Gal (grT)
So I recently upgrades the internet to the highest speed possible in UK of 200/200 and it costs me an extra £15 a month making it £45 a month now and it is worth it if it means a better racing for all in GPB.
I dont expect any donations but when I receive one it really helps as I aint rich lol.
WELL......................................
A BIG THANK YOU TO FINPOWER FOR A WHOPPING 70EUROS!!!
This REALLY helped as this month it is really tight for me. It also means I will get the case for starting the dedicated 24/7 server for GPB. I will not build a cheap one as I want you guys to have the best and it is just not worth doing it and having problems.
Most of the profit from any sales on here go to this project too. I upgraded the system I use now as much as I can so now its time to get the dedicated system started.
Once again thank you very much from us all at GPBOC FINPOWER
DD
Can you guys please test all 3 servers to make sure I set them up okay
Thanks guys
DD
Hi guys
So you are probably wondering where the servers are, I have decided to restructure the server system.
I will now have each server dedicated to a certain class so that instead of having to update every server each time there is a bike or track update. This means each server will now only need the bikes in its class and the ONE track it is set to. This will mean less space for each server giving space for more servers and make downtime less per server.
I have to make all new partitions to create new drives for each server and want to test it all this weekend.
I will get it done asap and hope you understand it is to benefit you guys in the future of online racing in GPB.
I will list what server is for what class but they will have it in the server name ie: GPBOC1 MotoGP, GPBOC2 Moto2 etc etc
Thanks for your patience. Really ill so need to take my time not to fuck it up lol.
DD
thanks dd
So I have set up 8 servers to test. Let me know what NDS tracks you want for what class to test.
DD
Hello DD
I have a bike mismatch on GPBOC06, imola, CBR 600 CUP.
I just re-installed the bike and I cant see any update of it since october the 14th.
Am I the only one to have this issue ?? :-\
edit : I am able to enter other servers with this bike.
I used the last bikeMOD so should be no problems but maybe a Dl error so I will re install it and check
Thanks for the heads up
DD
I USed the bike from mattys database and it works for me fine just checked
Okay guys, tell me what tracks you want up so I can set up the servers for you.
DD
A BIG THANK YOU TO FINPOWER FOR A WHOPPING 100EUROS!!!
This REALLY helped as this month it is really tight for me again. It also means that I got help as I bought a cheap system to start having 24/7 servers.
Finpower, you get your own server to use for being the top donator to GPBOC!!! Just PM me with details of how you want it setup anytime and I will do it as soon as I see the PM. You naturally get full admin rights lol.
Once again than you so much for helping out to make GPB what it is.
DD
Very generous Fin! Wonderful that DD can get a 24/7 server for us all. :)
Only 3 servers up at the moment as the system needs to be tested first so get on and thrash it boys!!!
Another £350 needed to get it as it needs to be so getting there bit by bit, literally lol
DD
Is that for the Gold plated Mouse?
I just watched a race replay on my triple screen and it really blew my mind as there is so much of the track on show that the bikes in a battle are always in frame. Really changed the experience.
Thought of your streaming when I watched it. Streaming from 2,3,6 screens. Hmm yummy. Would make for a long thin picture for viewers unless they are multi but even so ....
Hi guys
So..........................I think I got the new server at least up and running but now YOU need to test them!!!
I am hopping between my 3 PC's to do other stuff but will keep an eye out for your feedback here or on a server in chat if I pop in
PLEASE remember, this is for YOUR enjoyment so the less feedback I get the less I can fix shit!!!
Hope this new system works out as it is purely for GPBOC. I will turn off all I can in windows to give as much juice to the servers as possible.
It is Win7 and all updating is turned off to just keep it happy lol.
Have at it boys!!!
DD
Super duper DD thanks.
What you need is a race on them, that's what you need ;D
its coming nick
PM for you too
DD
So guys......................
PLEASE test ALL my servers to see that they all work. I am making it so that each server covers a class to make updating simple and also will do custom mixed servers. NO OPEN servers as it causes too much problems with guys who dont have every bike!!!
I have also set up a RACE server on my new PC that has GAMEFAST and uses both my wifi and ethernet at the same time to increase
speed. I think it would be better to use it to host races leaving the normal server to you guys to naff about on and practice and have other races on. The GPBOC RACE server will be used to give the best performance for Championship racing. It also offers better streaming and recording as it has all the bells and furkin whistles in the ASUS software that ROG packs with the Maximus IX Code
Hope this year the racing is better. BUT I have a few things to ask of you all to make it better for riders and viewers alike.
PLEASE NO DEFAULT FURKIN PAINTS NO MORE!!!
This make riding and viewing bornig as watching paint dry!!! it looks naff and does no justice to the hard work so many do to give us all fantastic paints.
I will gladly do paint edits to put YOUR number on a paint so we dont have 20,000 Rossie's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NO RIDING THE WRONG WAY ON SERVERS-I WILL BAN YOU!!!
Think of others and not just your own fun.
Thanks to those few that have supported me as it cost more than you think to set up fast servers with internet connection costs as they are in UK.
My aim is to give us all a better experience in GPB and help spead the work of this fantastic sim.
So finally, thanky PIBOSO. You have made many live happier ones.
DD
Wow! Lots of servers there. One day I will have enough time to download and try all these lovely new bikes that are coming out :'(
Will test what I can but I am sure all will be fine and the real test is a race session ;)
Thanks for the servers dd but will the servers be 24/7 servers? Would love that :). also which server is the race server?
Really nice work there DD! Great job! ;D 8)
Will test as soon as I can mate. ;)
Hawk.
You old farts always bitch about your 500's so try them on the old Hock matet chops
DD
Its a good point, well made that will be my first test. (love that track - 1st person riding orgasmatron.)
1st person is the only way m8, look forward to racing soon
All those who scream about wanting GPB to be real and then they ride in 3rd person because they cant in 1st person!!!!!!! PUSSSIES!!!!
I will set up some 1st person view only races as I think those in 3rd person have too much of an advantage on many tracks and it is unrealistic.............
Right, got that off me chest at last
DD
awesome news looking forward to first person racing again! ;D
Thanks DD, 1rst person all the way. 8)
Thank you DD!!!! really nice to have a 1P server!!!
Who said anything about only ONE 1st person server lol
DD
hahahahah dd is a savage lol
Even though I tend to ride mostly in 3rd person view, I strongly believe that 1st person view riding is the way to go for ultimate realism and should by rights be the Blue-Riband Class of GPB race events(all other riding views should be classed as club racing in my opinion... a class for "newbie-riders" ).
So all credit to you DD for pushing 1st person view riding events... It's the way to go mate! ;D 8)
Hawk.
Good job DD.
You should label 1St person servers Sim and 3Rd person arcade!
Although I don't see any on the server list atm.
I am busy transfering data between PC's and need my band width today. Servers will be up later.
Putting them up during this will make them slow. Sorry but my work PC's take priority today. Once done will mean no problems in the future.
