Does everyone forget that fact that in real life you have more control, feedback than in game? A mistake can more easily be avoided in real life than in gpbikes. Not to mention just crashes because of connection or some bugs, slick curbs, track edges... .

If we would implement the "1 crash and you're out" rule than nobody would be scoring points in championship races. Even if I ride carefull there is a 90% chance over a 20 lap race that i'll have that stupid crash where you clip the edge of a curb or maybe just a front tuck because you don't have any feedback and the amount of control that you have in real life.


I'm all for a penalisation system for crashes just not a drastic one as this one. I don't think it would have the desired effect.

I disagree. It is possible not to crash even in a long race, I've done it in almost all the official races I've taken part in. It is just a skill that needs to be developed (which, unfortunately, doesn't seem to be that relevant to most riders). Now, I realize that the "Crash and you're out" mode is extreme, and that we should find a middle ground. In this regard, the "Full crash" idea suggested by Piboso a couple of days ago seems fair to me.

But, just to reiterate, the idea that it's inevitable to go to the ground at least one in a race is questionable.

What? It is the worst idea ever...

Watch this! Some info because the vid its in italian:

I stand by my opinion. While it is true that in real life a crash doesn't necessarily mean the end of the race, that's what you usually get when you go to the ground.

I haven't taken part in a race recently, so I'm not going to comment the stability issues (i.e., core.exe and things like that) under heavy load. However, I think your comments on things that can be improved are spot on (and BTW, I love the "Crash and you're out" idea suggested by Hawk, I'd really like to see that in the future).

I had one just before qualifying and one after coming back to the pits after the race.

Nice race, congrats to Adalgood! I'm not sure who came in third, I got cored out as soon as I went to the pits after the checkered flag.

In general, online stability could be worse (and has been worse), but we're not quite there I'm afraid.

EDIT: where are my manners? Thanks a lot Peter!

I had the R6 yeah, it suddenly turned off. But fuel is not a concern, I just checked more carefully and the consumption is 0.6 L per lap apparently.

A heads up to the participants of tonight's race: I was doing a race simulation and I ran out of fuel three corners from the end of the 16th (last) lap. I wasn't doing anything silly so I guess we'll have to do a little of fuel management (I was full tank when I started).

EDIT: on second thought, I probably broke the engine. But that's another thing to keep into consideration!

SERVER IS DMZ (ALL PORTS OPENNED)

Ok, but I still can't get in...

I wonder what causes that error.

Ah this happens if the server doesn't not have all the ports opened correctly. If it doesn't then only people who have their own router ports open can join.

This is not easy or even possible for some people. Always should be done properly at the server router.

What ports should I open?

BRNO - connection Timeout already 

Yeah, me too.

Guys I'm having connection issues, I'm not sure I'll be able to race tonight.
