Hi everyone, today's race has been postponed as I haven't made the propper announcement. It would not be fair for everyone to have it arranged at the very last last minute.

All I can say is sorry for not being aware. This pandemic situation keeps me working home all day, many times not even knowing which day is today.
I had all my alarms on as always, but I was so sure this was the week off racing I deliberately ignored them.

Ok, all my apologies about that.
What will we do? -> Race at Italy gets postponed to next sunday June 14th. The following weekend it won't be the week off, and we will race Canada on June 21st

Oh dear.

Are we racing tomorrow and if we are can we have the race info please

Hi Guys some feedback for you on my experience with Steam .

As I stated in an earlier post the HD where all my RF2 files were stored failed on me , restoring it through Steam appeared very easy , I just reloaded RF2 and Steam downloaded all my files installed and verified them , in single player all my cars and tracks were available and things appeared to have gone well , but , on checking the contents of the packages folder it was empty , where the single player was getting its info I dont know .

The inventory manager showed all my cars / track etc as installed but the actual package was was shown as not there , this meant I could not uninstall or delete any car / track or mod .

I guessed that Steam must have misloaded so I uninstalled and went through the same again but got exactly the same result

I then decided uninstall everything and to just download the game only , nope Steam would not let me , it insisted on downloading all my files as well , figured this was to do with workshop so I unsubscribed from everything uninstalled and tried again , same thing happened it supposedly downloaded all my files , my next train of thought was there maybe a hidden record in Steam itself , couldnt find anything in the steam folders so decided to uninstall Steam , this I did , reinstalled and tried again , same thing happened .

No way could I install just the basic game or block the download of my files , fortunately the bad HD can be read for a few minutes at a time until it gets warm , so I have slowly managed to copy my files into the packages folder , once there the inventory manager can see and recognise they are there and I get control back , I can delete or uninstall again .

My recommendation based on this experience is you dont trust Steam , make your own backups to another disk , backup your packages folder and player files , I thought all my setups had gone but Steam did back those up .

Backup guys , my HD gave no warning symptoms it just rolled over and died , the HD is only 2 years old and was well ventilated , sods law my other older discs are all fine .

Hi all,

I don’t know if Bryan (Fergy) preferred to announce this, but he‘s currently asleep Down Under :p. He can elaborate a bit more when he wakes up

As the current (virtual) server is running on a now no longer supported Windows version, we are forced to upgrade the server. I have taken on the task of performing this migration. It’s quite a bit of work, I have limited spare time (even less now with my 5-year old full time at home lol), I’m not familiar with everything that’s currently set up, and we only have one week to do it before they remove the current server. Make that 2 days, as I was swamped with work the past week... :p

So what’s going to happen the next few days?

1) I am copying all essential data, so that at least nothing gets lost when the current server is wiped out of existence
2) I set up the new server to run rFactor, that we can continue to practice.
3) I set up the Live Timing that our laps continue to be stored.
4) I take down the site (forums) on Sunday evening or Monday morning and attempt to get it all running on the new server. Worst case this might take a few days, because the DNS also has to be re-pointed to the new server, and this can take up to 2 days to propagate around the world.
5) all the other crap that comes with reinstalling everything from scratch :p

Please bear with me while I undertake this bit of work. Don’t despair when the forums or servers go down and become unreachable for a while, everything is in safe hands (hum...)
