NICE ONE

So when's the 1.2 patch? Anyone....

Probably around 2007 going on how long it took to make 1.1

Cheers

Framerate hit is nowhere as noticable on my system as SCGT's FF.

No lap times recorded in qualifying
Calibration that doesn't as it did
Black flag after every lap in race
The straight at the Ring at about 500mph
Invisible cars for 3/4 of a lap
100 ($160) for a now redundant piece of FF technology.
Six different core ini files tried (Kindly sent from mates on GSB)
Two clean (full) installs
Nine months of addons now added off!
Six months of Beta testing and this is what comes of it
I'm impressed

Thanks Pappy.
GP3 here we come....Maybe one day

GRRRRR

Have you tried wiping GPL, reinstalling from fresh and applying the
patch? It seems like either something in your network configuration or
your GPL installation, probably something got messed up with an add-on
or tweak.

Cheers!

Guess you ain't heard the good news yet then....

Essentially BT get the monopoly until 2001 (start of), and then the
local loop will be unbundled and any company could run your ASDL link!

Say hello to a better Uk phone network - at last

I've had no troubles so far and am just waiting now to get an FF wheel!

Hi Paul,
I'm with you, on this one...
It seems everyone is over the moon about how good the FF effects are,
but for me, i was hoping for better on-line performances.
FF was never an issue for me, but better on-line play was, and that
seems to have been made worse for anyone with a latency figure in
excess of 400.  :(
I have tried every combination of Core.ini  file that i could attempt
to try with a small group of drivers here in Australia and so far, no
results have been up to the original version of GPL, as far as on-line
performance goes.
I am not talking about frame rate hits etc.  i am talking about,
warping, racing with invisible cars, constant disconnection problems,
black flags, no scoring, frame stuttering, slow downs,  speed ups  etc.
 etc.  etc.
I have yet to find a single person with a marginal latency figure that
is even slightly impressed with the on-line performance of the GPL 1.1
patch.
I am sure you will all say, "Well you should have a low latency", that
is fine for you American sim racers etc. but down here in Australia, a
good latency figure for us is in the region of 450  to 550, when we are
joining races out of Australia.
The point being,  that with the original GPL, it handled the higher
latency figures a lot better than the new version does.
"Yes", i have tried switching back to the original Synch method and
experimenting with all values of the: clock_adj_delay line, and the
best i have found for me is by using the old Synch method, with a delay
of 14 and using the old 3/84, instead of the new default of 2/84.
On another note, i find the steering response delayed now,  almost to
the point of being totally detached from the feeling of being even
slightly in control, all for the sake of having FF implemented.
I do not have a FF wheel, but the steering effects of a non-FF wheel,
now feel totally wrong.  IMO
The brakes and throttle also feel as though they have changed, not for
the better either..
It is now hard to lock up a brake, and the throttle is notchy and not
as linear as it was.  These are all my opinions, and may not be what
others are finding, but for me,  i much prefer the driving model of the
original GPL, and "No", it is not because of the ride height
restriction either, as i never did run LowRider setups anyway..
So, IMO,  the on-line play has took a major nose dive and the physics
feel all wrong, if your not using a FF wheel, if you are using a FF
wheel,  i hope you enjoy the experience,  i didn't...
Cheers,  have fun!!

I have no actual data to support this theory, but that hasn't stopped
anyone in r.a.s. before <G>

I think we have 2 things coming into play here.

1)  Folks who have had marginal connections to their hosts in the past.

2)  Hosts that have been marginal servers (i.e., maxed out CPU, allowing
more clients than their bandwidth can support, etc.).

The combination of the above 2 has caused many folks grief to no end
with the patch.

I also think that once we start using the VROC 2.0 servers for hosting
and connecting, some of the problems being experienced will go away.  As
it is, the majority of races being hosted are through the VROC 1.0
service which doesn't support some of the features included in the GPL
patch.
