Why not put a list of all available tracks for people to vote for the three tracks the community want, and not just from a select few selected by you(I can do rhymes, too. Hehe). Do we live in a democracy or what? LOL 

[UPDATE:]

I have no idea how to start a poll, but imo the tracks that are most popular are :

Assen
Mugello NC
Paul Ricard
Magny Cours
Monza

And of course Victoria, but i have the feeling everyone is a bit done with that track

So maybe you can just choose 3 of those Dibu and we`ll be fine...

I agree with most of your choices there, JamoZ, but I personally would have included "Saint-Wests - Mugello and Catalunya". Although WIP tracks these are amongst the most rideable track surfaces we have.

PS: Victoria is still the best or equal best track there is for rideability and therefore should never be "done with" as a circuit to include.

UPDATE: "Misano" track is very good, too!

Thanks a million!

By the way, which software is best suited for making gp-bikes helmets, in your opinion?

I'm using Paint.net and MS Publisher but there must be better ways of doing this.

Thanks again,

Cheers

If you mean Helmet paints, then I suggest Photoshop.

A cheap alternative would be Gimp(Free) though I've never used this myself.

Thanks hawk, fixed!

Glad to help, JamoZ.

Just a report of what happened tonight while racing on the Hotlap Assen R6 server tonight.

I don't usually get core.exe crashes in a situation were I'm riding alone, but tonight I had two core.exe crashes, approx. between 21:00 - 22:00hrs GMT.

As I said, just thought I would report this, as I usually don't get many core.exe crashes but tonight seems very unstable for some reason?

Hope this helps.

[Update:]

Maybe the problem is Win7?? 

No. It's not windows 7. I use windows 7 and since beta4b I have not had so many Core.exe crashes. It is a well known problem(Bug), especially when many riders are on same server, and seems to be worse if you get people with high ping rates joining and exiting the server.

Not had core.exe crashes as bad as your saying though by a long way. Maybe before you connect to a server you should do a CClean of your system then restart your PC and internet router. Not really sure if it does help, but it seems to help my system not get so many Core.exe's.  But the general consensus is that the problem lies in the Net Code that controls multiplayer support

Your not trying to connect with a wireless internet connection, are you? That's a BIG NO NO for online gaming.

Update: You can also try unplugging peripheries except your Keyboard/Mouse and the Controller/s you are using and try that; Sometimes for some reason certain things connected to your PC can interfere with the operation of a program.
As a last resort try with just the Keyboard and Mouse connected; might be a problem with your controller.

Any idea to get more grip front wheel? I lose it a lot!

I'd rather say the steering ratio, this scooter should turn in a "handkerchief", on the contrary I seem it has the maneuverability of the 125, or am I wrong? please don't be upset but is the wheelbase correct?

I'm sure I saw the rider turn the steering wheel while cornering.... Surely this is incorrect while moving accept when moving very very slow?

One potentially silly question for dibu/Piboso: why do you have to have one separate hotlap server for each category 125, 500, 990 (without talking about the mods) ?

Ideally you should/could have a single hotlap (GPB) server, open to any category (ban scooters , of course ). Then the hotlap application should be able to categorize correctly the laptimes it receives, doesn't look hard.

I haven't any documentation of the Live Timing feature, so I cannot say for sure, but I may think that if Live Timing does not send the bike info to the hotlap app, then ...
But this could be easily solved and would make dibu's life a bit easier ...
If it does sent the info, then ...

MaX.

Snap, Max!..... Take a look at my post above. LOL

But dibu would need someone who can make a server script and database sql script to deal with the idea.

Dibu explains this in his post above.

Great minds think alike. Haha

Have a look at this thread: http://forum.piboso.com/index.php?topic=397.0 and try a clean reinstall.

Thank you for the explanation, dibu. If only "Random" would come back a help us out with this.... Here's hoping!

Hi JamoZ.

The above link is showing as, "The file you are trying to download is no longer available".

Just thought I'd let you know, mate.

New tracks avaliable in the link of the first post!! Zuera is a LunaPark for me ehehehe

Hi ALEale

I'll upload these tracks to the "Track Downloads" MEGA Database.

Thanks ALEale

In theory I'm all up for it, with one exception; I presume seeing as there is no 125cc Mod bike, the standard 125cc "hot lap Event" slot would be lost to the "Scooter"? That would be a shame as the 125cc hot lap event slot has only recently been included to help generate interest in the 125cc bike?

I think an ideal alternative, if it is possible, would be to just have one "hot lap Event" Server able to run all standard default bike and all Mod bikes then to separate the results into their required hot lap categories for the published internet hot lap results? Would it be possible for a server script to do this? Obviously some script work would be required to set this up(I think?), but once done, this would surely save a lot of proceeding time and work in hot lap server work administration?

I'm not saying this should be done... I'm just thinking out loud of some solutions for consideration.

Happy New Year to all you guys!

May 2014 bring GP Bikes V1.0 and many, many fantastic tracks, bike mods and race events for us all to enjoy!

Cheers guys! 

The max lean angle is automatically estimated by the "virtual rider" using the lateral grip the tyres can generate at the moment ( compound, temperature, wear, wet, groove, marbles and road banking are used as inputs ).

Very interesting. Was the other option (i.e. a fixed max lean and the rest left to the player with the stick) too difficult to handle for the player ?

MaX.

It would be great to have the option, especially for hardcore riders, but in reality I guess there has to be a line drawn somewhere between reality and simulation on a PC, right?
