Maybe your server dropped it? I'll host this week, no password. Let's see if we can get some more people in the race. Only two of us showed last week, and that's ridiculous. If people don't want to run, I'll stop wasting my time. At least against the AI I can turn down their skill so I don't have to run last all the time.

I just sent you a setup that I ran a 119.9 with. Hope it helps. You'll probably have to turn down the wheel lock setting though. Depends on how you have your controller set up within the game.

If someone could also send the tire sounds from GTR 2002, I might hear something before my tires let go. Right now there is zero audible feedback as I approach their limit. Thanks Larry

It was about a setup for barcelona actually. But anyways, I might not be able to make the race...just woke up to watch the F1 race and I'm tired as hell...I'll see how awake I am after the race. -Stuart Becktell "EldredP" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > >Are we going to be running at Spain this weekend?

I will be running this week, though I doubt I'll be anywhere close to the top guys in my jag. "Stuart Becktell" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:zeonc.230443$[email hidden]...

Hi Folks: Two minutes to RASF1 opening, and F1RST is displaying weird stuff. I'll see you if I can get a good re-install of F1RST. Larry

Mike P. at F1RST helped me load new registry values. Things look almost normal. I didn't have the green "F1RST" button at the upper left of the display. No profile, no fun. Larry

This was the last F1 race I host for a while. No password, and we only had about 8 drivers total. The server didn't cycle through sessions like it normally does. I'm not sure why. My best practice time was only a 1:30, a full 10 seconds slower than the leaders. One guy even asked if we all used wheels to drive, as he was using a keyboard. This guy ran a 1:23 - *seven* seconds faster than I could. Just great... In desperation, I switched TC to high for the race. That actually made me slower - I don't think I broke 1:40 at all. During one of the early laps, I get totally bulldozed by one of the random people named Yoda. As I was fuming about that, I tried to spin back the right way. I couldn't spin it enough(sounds like the RASCAR race), and I ended up crossing the track in front of Stuart, I think. Sorry, man... :-( It doesn't do me any good to run in these races anymore. I'm not getting any enjoyment out of them whatsoever. Since I can't schedule servers like N2k3, or set them for remote access like VROC, I won't be hosting anymore. Considering the low turnouts, someone on cable should be able to host no problem. I give up.

I looked at a replay of his and it was a LOT smoother then a keyboard can produce. I probably won't be running either. People were lagging all over the place, and this affected my frame rates too. At the start I couldn't get into first so I let off launch control...bad move, I moved forward a bit and had to pit to stop and go. This didn't really take and I was in six. Then I came out of turn 5 and hit you a couple times...next lap I had another one of the BS understeers that running online gives me, went wide on the exit of turn 5 and spun out. I decided to quit after that.

This guy ran a 1:23 - *seven* > seconds faster than I could. Just great... Hi Eldred: Nobody can blame you. I've spent the morning chatting with RC and Mike P. at F1RST, about setting up the registry and one F1RST window that won't display right. Nice folks, but not what I had planned for Sunday morning. I ran their registry fix, and now have only a minor problem on one F1RST's window. But I couldn't not have raced you folks today, because I couldn't select a profile. I can host 5 cars reasonably well on my old 600MHz dog. So I think someone with 5 times the compute horsepower and a good cable connection will be able to handle the small turnouts. But there was something nice about that fast connection. I hope you will participate on F1RST. I didn't get enough practice for Spain, about 40 laps. I was trying a Renault, to add some color to the field, and my best was a 1:31, lapping several seconds slower. I have zero audible feedback from the tires as they approach their limit, so I'm not able to push hard in the turns. Still waiting for a copy of the GTR 2002 tire sound file. I'm now at [email hidden] if anyone can part with it. If I have someone to race against I'll be there, but I don't have to tell you it's no fun racing by yourself, with only drivers 10 seconds faster lapping you for company. So I hope you continue to participate. > In desperation, I switched TC to high for the race. That actually made me > slower - I don't think I broke 1:40 at all.

I can have a lot of fun just racing multiplayer on F1C's Gamespy. But it is nice to race against you folks on a nice server with a good connection. Larry

Our Q times (1:20) were almost identical (you beat me), and then the race was extremely close for quite a few laps. A few seconds separated us before my pit stop. I pitted a lap before you (actually missed the pit entry a lap earlier and was scared I'd run out of gas), but on my out lap (your in lap), I got sideways (a little proud to say that was my only misstep of the race) at La Caixa on the cold tires. As I headed down the front straight, I saw you exiting the pits just ahead of me and said a few curse words to myself. :-) I went from 3 seconds up to 1 down. We were less than a second apart for a number of laps after that. Great stuff. At one point, you had a little understeer coming out of the last turn, and I pulled right up to your wing and into your draft. Waited as long as I could and then pulled out along side you for the pass. Held my breath, :-) and then braked hard for T1. Our wheels were *very* close in the replay, :-o but we made it through clean. We then had quite a few laps where we were again less than a second apart, until the last lap or so when you dropped back. Reminded of me of some races I've had with Neil in F1C. Lap after lap, less than a second apart in those rockets is just a #$%@*& blast. :-) I'm keeping that replay for awhile. Thanks for the great race! David G Fisher

Shit - I never even made the TC connection. Gawd, that makes it worse because it was avoidable...

I uploaded it here. http://home.comcast.net/~davegf/ 4.8 megs. First half of the race is basically Uwe steadily chipping away at my lead, but the really close racing begins at the 1100 second mark, shortly before we begin to pit. From that point on, F1C manages to superbly recreate (both for the drivers and a spectator of the replay) what I saw in the real Spanish F1 GP this morning. David G Fisher
