Definitely a setup file in there Myles, are you sure your virus checker is not deleting it or something?

[Dan Bayford]

If you can not see the setup in game you might need to toggle the 'Show Only Relevant' button. See screen shot. The reason for this is SpeedRacer7 might have been driving a skin from a different Car/Class group to you.

   


Please note all car skins/classes/years are all equal in this mod. Feel free to chose any. They are all the same.

Thanks DJ ill try tonight when I get home

Yep - got it this time. I wonder if I accidentally highlighted the file in the ZIp and deleted it!

[7th Samurai]

all cool then. let me know how it works for you.
curiously, i tried to copy a top setup from Live for Speed FBMW community and ops, on rF2 it drove like a shopping cart!

Well, I’m currently topping the times! I have made a couple of minor tweaks to (more) suit my style but fundamentally, the setup is yours.

It took me a while to ‘get’ the push-through-understeer approach as I normally aim for a very pointy front end and just manage the oversteer.

I might try to set the car up from scratch myself at some point but as I can’t do Sunday nights, it might be a while…

[Dan Bayford]

I tried it yesterday off line i was faster and the car felt really good to drive thanks very much for sharing im terrible at setting the car up I tend to make it slower with every click so sharing your set up is much appreciated

[DJCruicky]

12 laps each race tonight. Hope to see you all there.

first online race i took this week i couldn't start because of steam hick up, in second one the PC froze and now the wheel got disconnected. it probably means a wonderful next week

great comeback, David! you said 'close racing', but you were only playing with me, teasing in each race with hope i could pull away.

see you guys in 'California' next Sunday!

[Dan Bayford]

My game crashed at the start of qually back to desktop and when I tried to restart it said the game wasn't installed so I had to reinstall and just didn't have enough time to set up controller so it was a washout for me. Also a few times when changing up a gear it went down a gear very strange not sure what to try to sort it any ideas would be appreciated

[7th Samurai]

Dan, my default advices would be to check the temperatures of your processor and graphics card (if it's overheating, blow compressed air through venting system or reapply thermo paste in worse case), switch controller to another USB slot, check device manager for any hardware conflicts, monitor task manager for any interfering processes. always start an important race with a clean boot, come to pre-race warm-up early and just try to be zen when hardware goes haywire.

[7th Samurai]

rF2 (or any other racing sim) doesn't simulate mechanical failures too stringently (imho), so i interpret my hardware/software issues as real life car failures (which i can learn on). and if PC doesn't allow me to race safely anymore, i deem it as sponsor retreat due to something like a ban on tobacco advertisement or covid-19-induced recession.

[Beng Bandrover]

when will the server for Toban be up?

[DJCruicky]

I poked Fergy with a very long hot poker. He has it up and running now, cheers.
See you on the track soon.

[Fergy]

Haha

[DJCruicky]

10 laps per race tomorrow. Hope to see you all there.

[DJCruicky]

Thanks guys, it was fun.
Looks like JohnCook, Tobias, and MichelBougie were having a great battle in last race. Very gentleman racing. JohnC one tough cookie to overtake for the other 2 .
I was miles in front. I was missing Speedracer7 to battle with, he never showed . I ended up with 3 easy wins racing myself .

[Fergy]

Thanks for the running the show. Great car and track combo. Especially the tracks. A lot of fun. Sorry I couldn't join in.

Cheers,
Bryan

[7th Samurai]

apologies for missing the race. once again it would have been just a formality with no challenge from me to David. although my PB in practice looked competitive, there was zero consistency and rear tires would start burning in lap 6,. I feel ashamed to have chickened out in this unsportsmanlike way, but was in no shape for any battle. ... congratulations and awe to the best man! .. and hope to race you guys again!
