Nice from me but only because it would be better than what we have currently. Better still if the bike did not magically transport to another location and instead put the rider back on the bike wherever it stopped, leaving them to dig themselves out of whatever terrain the crash got them into or give approaching riders the better chance of determining a line that would avoid a collision if the bike did not leave the track for whatever reason.

Might be tempted when the miltiplayer is available, looks sweet. How sim or arcadey is it to drive Bob?

My mains power cut out out again about 13 laps in    was running alone and crashing lots though so no biggie 

Grats to the front runners and thanks to Nick for hosting.

I've been running it for months but recently changed the name from GPB_Open, thought it best as I was running fixed bike sets but it was open for all not for any bike. I'll be running other random tracks again once this champ is done.

Tis mine, I've been using it to do race runs and practice starts. Also maybe get some racing in to get used to things when we up the anti on race day 

Yea just caught up on yesterdays posts, curious stuff 

A few pics from earlier today at Wild Tracks Chippenham, was fun 






Some vid too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wETplXyaAtU

Did anyone who had the Insider Preview installed (using the activation key provided by MS at the time) get a free fully activated update to the real version as was 'promised'?

Was doing this at work and yes it seemed to go to activated and loose the evaluation label above the clock, not at work this week but will check again on Monday, didn't know this was going to happen tbh but this might explain the change.

Upgraded my Surface now too and it all seems fine.

The strange thing is that now everything seems back to normal. I read that Windows 8 causes this problem to many people. (100% usage hard disk) 

You botnet duties are over..... for now 

The FPS was fine for me, it ran well. Rear tyre started sliding all over the shop in the last 5 laps but I put that down to wrong tyre choice (I've no real idea or experience at changing things for different conditions). Early part of the race for me was good and beat my qualy time  , sorry to whoever was behind me when I got a tank slapper and crashed taking them out with me in the first few laps. I saved my replay but not sure how much it recorded yet.

Cheers for it Nick 

Spot on Max, I don't run the windows calibration normally but having done so the input bar now works fine, cheers 

When you say "my controller", is that your custom controller ? Is it DirectInput or XInput ?

Yes is my custom rig, no idea if it's X or direct input though TBH, guess I can find out when I get back home later if needed.

The steering bar is working fine but check out this video of me at stand still going full lock and then while moving, my controller is giving full lock in the game settings at this point. The plugin doesn't seem to match the game input. Are others getting different results with game pads or joysticks?

Max, tried your new version last night with the new steering input indicator. It works but didn't seem to show full travel, only moved about 25% for full travel of my controller, have I missed a setting maybe?

I've not tested much with lots of players but never seen my 4 year old i5 laptop pushed at all when 6 ish players are on, Nick may have some better stats with more players involved. I'd imagine the internet speed would be more of a concern when the numbers increase. I use a cable at all times with such things.
