RASCAR NR2003 Nashville results and winter schedule changes

David G Fisher posted results from the RASCAR league's NR2003 Nashville race. League members talked about dropping the poorly attended truck races and moving to road courses with the Team Redline GTP mod, which was due at Christmas. The thread then turned into a long exchange about ATI Catalyst drivers, the Catalyst Control Center and its .NET requirement.

I tried to get into the server for the better part of an hour. And I kept getting a message saying "you aren't qualified" to join this server. As there was a race going on at the time I thought that is what was meant by that message. Then as I was about to leave, I notice my rankings. They have all been reset to zero. I know I have not played in almost a year, no computers in the cancer ward, something about interfering with their equipment or something, but I didn't think my ranks would be wiped. My account is the same one I have used since N4, possibly N3, not sure as I am old. But this really sucks. Now I have a question. Does my rank for other series transfer to the trucks? So if I have a 35 LPI in cup, will that transfer to the trucks and busch? Thank, Brit btgoss http://www.thecancerdiet.com

Too bad you couldn;t get in - we sure can use the extra driver. (fast_T couldnt get in either -> Larry's gonna sort that) We don't have any restrictions but I think you must have an LPI of at least 1. AFAIK there's no difference between cup and cts ratings. Hope you get thinks sorted out so you can join us on newyears day. We agreed yesterday we'd run Texas then and start the following week with GTP, if it is released of course. Dave will announce the tracks :) (Dave, maybe you can name the first 3 already ... ) cheers jurjen

I really don't know what tracks to schedule because I don't know what tracks and setups will be released with the mod. Shouldn't we schedule tracks (at least the first one) that the mod will contain a setup for so even if we go with open setups, at least the drivers will have a base to work with? The following would be the tracks I'd have at the top of the list right now, but maybe the mod will contain some nice ones too. Kyalami, Road Atlanta, Mosport, Riverside PWF, LeMans, Suzuka, Silverstone, Daytona RC. I posted a question at the GTP forum at RSC asking what tracks/setups were being released with the mod, but never got an answer before the forums went down last week. The only ones I know of for sure are Suzuka and Spa, but I remember reading awhile back that there are others. Only six more days. :-) -- David G Fisher

Since the truck races have had a low turnout, we discussed on TS dropping IRP, moving Texas up a week, and then starting the GTP races as long as the GTP mod is released as scheduled on Christmas day. We forget you aren't on TS sometimes. :-) Sorry about that James. -- David G Fisher

http://www.bhmotorsports.com/NR2003/GTP/screenshots The cars are supposed to be lighter, faster, have more downforce, and handle better than the TPTCC cars. Should be a lot of fun. :-) Ginger has been beta testing the mod for awhile now. -- David G Fisher

I guess you're right about the setup/track issue :) Maybe you can ask team redline directly : http://teamredline.co.uk/forums/viewforum.php?f=24 (never saw those nght shots before - that is looking AWESOME - lets schedule a night track :D ) cheers jurjen

Will the TPTCC Cars be useable ? I rather like the job Jurjen did on converting mine, and don't want to lose it. -Larry "David G Fisher" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Rats, I was inflicted with DGF syndrome this week :) After the game crashing out on me 3 times, it was time to give up for the week. I just spend the last 14 hours rebuilding my system from scratch in efforts to fix it. I NEVER had these issues until the 4.11 Catalysts came out. The 4.12's just made it worse. In the past, I've always run three separate WinXP boots on my system. One for Home Use, one for Racing, and one for Work. All the VPN stuff has made my Work boot someone complex in the comms department, so I always like to keep it a separate boot. Plus I didn't want all the scanners and other peripheral drivers in the way of gaming performance. However, when I built this Athlon64 3500 system a few months ago, I decided to try a single boot with 3 separate profiles instead. I never really like how that worked out, so this time I want back to the 3 separate XP installs/boot. It's a shitload of work to get done, but it's done :) As for the Catalysts, I STILL cannot get the 4.12's to work right. In-game _seems_ to have settled down, but for the life of me I cannot get that new Catalyst Control Center to work right. There are like 3 different places you can launch it, but the damned thing will NOT come up. This is after a fresh reload of the system with 4.12's ! I give up. On the gaming boot I went back to 4.10's with the Standard Control Panel. I have my fingers crossed. The Catalyst 4.11's and 4.12's, for me, have been a major step backwards in reliability. -Larry "David G Fisher" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Hmm, is this control center really necessary? I upgraded to a used 9800PRO last week (had a geforce ti4800SE before), and it's running just fine without the control center stuff. Or am I missing something? All the options I could want are available from within desktop->properties->advanced (cat 4.12, xp pro SP2) cheers, uwe -- GPG Fingerprint: 2E 13 20 22 9A 3F 63 7F 67 6F E9 B1 A8 36 A4 61
Yes. Since turnout is low for these truck races, it looks like we are going to run Texas and then get the GTP races going a week early (assuming the mod is released on schedule). -- David G Fisher "Larry" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:ZhQxd.8188$jn.6419@lakeread06... > Texas is NYD ?

Not at this time. You can dowload either the Control Center or Control panel of each driver so far. I was under the impression that the availability of the Control Panel version would cease at some point. I sure hope not. I'm starting to hate .Net. Not to mention the fact that it still amuses me to see some 500k utilities require a 22MB .net runtime to run :) Gotta love today's 'tight' programming! -Larry "Uwe Sch�rkamp" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I don't recall what it was. I do know it was Video related because one time when I got to the desktop there was a request to send a report to ATI. After the system rebuild, I ran about 2 hours online last night. So far so good! That's after I got rid of the 4.12's and put the 4.10's with the control panel back on. I don't know if the 4.12's would have been ok because I was never able to get the damned Catalyst Control Center to come up! The cursor would spin for about 4 seconds, then go back to normal with no launch. Since my problems started with the 4.11's, I decided to just go back to 4.10's with the control panel (on my racing boot), and be done with it. It works fine, and I'm not touching it again. Just for giggles I also replaced the stock Antec 380w supply that came with the Sonata case with a Neo 480 (one hell of a Power Supply). Probably didn't need it, but with an Athlon 3500, Radeon 9800 Pro, two Sony DRU-710A DVD Burners and two Seagare 160GB Sata Drives, as well as a Gig of RAM, I thought I might be pushing it with a 380 watt supply. I really dig the 120mm Fan design in this case (and the new Neo 480 uses a 120mm fan as well). It's damned near silent while pushing a ton of air at the same time. There are 3 120mm fans including the one in the supply. -Larry "Mitch_A" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:j3Yxd.909$[email hidden]...

;-) Apparently it's "integrated" in XP, but of course you're right, such a mega-download for a graphics driver is ridiculous. Cheers & happy holidays, uwe -- GPG Fingerprint: 2E 13 20 22 9A 3F 63 7F 67 6F E9 B1 A8 36 A4 61

Its such a non-isssue. I dont understand this complaint over and over Larry. .Net is nothing more than an evolution of VB and C++. Didnt you at some point have to install runtimes for VB? If it comes with Windows then its OK but if you have to add it its not? You can always go back to DOS cant you? I mean really all your complaining about is forward progress. Larry, how you ever got past a Black and White Zentith TV is beyond me and that you work in this industry your tude is even more surprising :) This industry is still in its infancy and I expect and want many changes before I kick. Mitch
Actually, .Net is still an add-on for XP. It was released after XP shipped. As for the problems with the Catalyst Control Center, I'm beginning to suspect it has been broken by a recent 'security fix' released for the .Net runtime. Can't prove it, but I think that's where the issues are coming from. -Larry "Uwe Sch�rkamp" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

As I've said over and over Mitch, but you fail to hear, I am hardly against change. I AM against change for the sake of change, and when that change provides no tangible benifit. -Larry "Mitch_A" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:E8Dyd.2135$[email hidden]...

Are you sure you have the .Net 1.1 fix Larry? I dont think it comes down on the windows update and the ATI CC is funky without it. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=262d25e3-f589-4842-8157-034d1e7cf3a3&displaylang=en Mitch

I _thought_ I did. I'll check it out. My Work and General boots still have the 4.12's with Control Center so I have a way to check. Windows Update does bring down a security update. I thought this was the latest. Maybe not! Thanks! -Larry "Mitch" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:e7Kyd.1881$[email hidden]...

Now that I see this, I'm pretty sure this is what I installed. If you install this, and then go to Windows Update, there is another patch that shows up. It doesn't show up until you install this though. -Larry "Mitch" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:e7Kyd.1881$[email hidden]...
