I'd like to join this event! No pitstop and a great car. Can't believe it! :-)

I won't likely be able to commit more time and races though... sorry guys.

So we could decide to do pit stops this season as per the original post - for tires only. Or not

Pitstop is optional and not mandatory for this race

People said that pitting during race did nothing, no new tires nor no refueling.

Windows 10, right click on what would have been the start button and choose (6 down from top for me) Network Connections
Then you can see your network connection, eg Network 2
Right click on that then click on properties at the bottom of the menu box
Double click on Internet Protocol Version 4 and it will bring up a box
click on button "use the following IP address"
fill in the boxes:
choose your network address eg 192.168.0.40
if you click in the next box down it should auto fill with 255.255.255.0
type in your Routers IP - often 192.168.0.1 as the gateway it's what you'd type to access it from your computer

Then click on "Use the following DNS server address" and type (this is the address of open DNS)
208.67.222.222 in the first box and
208.67.220.220 in the second box

Should end up being similar to this http://www.home-network-help.com/images/manual-set-ip.jpg

To undo it all just click on "obtain an address automatically" and all your typed in settings will vanish.

I had no internet access after altering those numbers , "DHCP not enabled" windows said :-\

I put some heavy wear on my tyres then did a pit stop , jacking is not as obvious as other historics but new tyres were fitted .

If you check fueling section garage setup you will see there is no option for a planned pitstop , its the same no matter which track you choose so it must be in the car model

I think it's better doing it in your router configuration. If you know how to enter inside, you can set a pre-defined ip address for your MAC address and also change your DNS addresses (some people use google dnss). I always keep my provider DNSs, but you can change them just for a test online and then bring them back to normal.

About setting a pre-defined ip address inside your local network, for me that's a must as I have a lot of devices inside the same LAN.

Yesterday, in a second test I did about 10 laps in a race fuel car (90+ liters).... and the car's performance wasn't that bad.
Tire degradation was within reasonable as long as you don't lock the front tires every corner. Rear tires seemed to stand stronger than the fronts thanks to their big size.

That's good to know, so in case of tire abuse, a flat spot or tire demanding tracks pitstops can be done.... and they're quick changing the tires so it must be taken into consideration as a part of race strategy.

I don't know if I do something wrong but I did same thing directly in my router and same thing happened, no internet access at all. Also tried the google DNS, no access. This was not the only problem, from the router I could not go back to the default "obtain ip automatically from isp", it told me I had to enter an ip adress to be able to obtain an dynamic ip adress LOL ;D No way out, I had to reset the router to factory defaults. Thank god that fixed it, so now I have internet again at least.. But wth is going on, maybe I should just give up? I mean I don't even know what I'm doing.

Just for fun, I had to try out if the reset had fixed the problem. Added a couple of AI's to the sr4l server but they disappeared after ~3 minutes Sad


RE: Sim Racers 4 Life - BT44 Season - Round 1 - Sao Paulo - gorgias1976 - 06-10-2016

try setting an infinte ping while you are driving in a test just like that one you did.
In a command line type something like "ping -t SR4L_server_ip_address > log.txt" (we need to know the servers IP)
Then, after the test check the log.txt file to see if packets were lost when the cars disappeared. At least we can check is the reason is a lost of communications with the server.

There's a way we can refuel during race in case we want to reconsider it and take back refueling.

Also, I've calculated a pitstop should get you lose around 25 sec (including tire changing + pitlane time lost). I haven't done the math to calculate wether it's worth doing it or not.

Maybe there is a fix for the freezes and hopefully for my teamy also. Please Paul look at this: http://isiforums.net/f/showthread.php?p=435434


RE: Sim Racers 4 Life - BT44 Season - Round 1 - Sao Paulo - gorgias1976 - 07-10-2016

About refueling, no refueling for this race, we will think about it for the next league event as I think it would be faster doing a pitstop refueling and changing tires than doing none.

can you postpone this for a week please - thanks :-X- its thanksgiving in my country , cant make it , gotta eat a turkey bird


RE: Sim Racers 4 Life - BT44 Season - Round 1 - Sao Paulo - gorgias1976 - 07-10-2016

Isn't thanksgiving the last thursday in october.
Anyway, I think It's rather late for a race change. You can join with an extra weight and some family spectating. :o

In Canada, it is the second Monday in October http://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/canada/thanksgiving-day
In the US it is the last Thursday in November.
Too much trivial info I suppose :Smile


RE: Sim Racers 4 Life - BT44 Season - Round 1 - Sao Paulo - gorgias1976 - 07-10-2016

No thanksgiving here in Europe (obviously), so I am a bit off in all of that.
