RASETCC

Any final decision on the track for this Sunday? I think there may have been, but I can't find where I may have written it down, and it seems Google is a bit out of date recently, so searching there hasn't been its usual smooth sailing. Thanks, -- Darryl PS: Got TeamSpeak installed and the new micorophone seems to be working. I hope to try it all out on Sunday. (That ought to get my wife rolling her eyes even more than normal! <grin>)

What kind of times are you guys running? I need something to shoot for since Sat. night is the only time I will have to practice. With such a large track, we may spread out quickly (and not reach our goal of close racing) if we aren't running times that are fairly close.

Try to host a race - then select the LeMans track. It will say you don't have it and will start downloading it. Simple as that ;) As for lap times, I had to do a complete reformat and install yesterday so I lost the record of the laps I've done. 4:22 rings a bell but I really can't recall. Interestingly, if you go to race weekend and skip to race, as it fills in the qual speeds for the others it lists them as 1 minute something - wierd.

I just installed ETCC. The sense of speed is horribly lacking... What am I missing ? Radeon 9800 Pro @ 1024X78, 4xAA, 8xAF.

Cause the speed IS horribly lacking in these matchbox cars :) If you want the sense of speed then turn on max head movement in the ini. I don't recall what I changed in the ini but now the sense of speed in ETCC makes Papy TA look real tame :) It actually feels like a real suspension working below me.

Im down to the 4:30's but havent spent hardly any time there. Can't get enough of the 67 Sarthe track for Papy TA.

I've managed to get down to a 1:33. I still keep having flashbacks to the old GPL / TPTCC version of the track, which causes me no end of trouble at some of the corners. I would expect the fast guys to be safely down into the 1:24-26 range. (But will their tires (tyres) last? One can only hope not. LOL!!) -- Darryl

Uh... make that _4_ minutes plus, not _one_ minute. That's what comes of posting times immediately after running some laps at Road Atlanta. Those of us with really short attention spans forget how much longer LeMans is. <sigh> -- Darryl

I ran a couple of laps in the 3's with the fast setup last night. I've only done about 5 laps total, and only about 2 of them were all on-track :) That right-hander after the long straing is a sneaky bastard! -Larry "Darryl Johnson" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:2NVJb.224$[email hidden]...

A moot point, I'm afraid. Poor turnout (and poor driving on my part to eliminate myself on the first lap), meant that the race didn't take place. Thanks again to Uwe to pointing out the solution to my mirror problems. Although I usually spend time exploring options with new programs, I had never even glanced at that "Advanced Option" in the ETCC startup screen. Neil, sorry that I sounded blurred in the TeamSpeak chat. Was my voise blured, or was the mike picking up other sounds so that it was hard to hear my voice? I had tested my new mike in a recording applet on my computer and the recorded sound seemed pretty good. I could hear you reasonably well, and I could even make out the words. <g> I don't see why others would complain about your accent. What do you do so that TS recognizes your "I am going to speak now" keystroke while driving? When I had the sim in the foreground, I would press the designated key and speak, but apparently I was not coming through. It worked -- such as it was -- only when I had TS in the foreground. Not the best of days. But as they say: "Some days you get the bear; other days, the bear gets you." (You have to imagine a folksy, western drawl.) -- Darryl

ETCC not TPTCC :) Man o man were in acronym hell :)) I posted a test setup for TPTCC on the RSC forum. Fast will not make it race distance and we don't have an expert.

Sorry about making you guys restart. It was weird at the start, I saw the countdown, then nothing happened. I could shift and turn the wheel, but I had no gas pedal or I guess brake. When I tried to reconnect, I got nowhere. Nothing happened, I never could reconnect. -- Richard "ZZ" Busch Member: Screamers Racing League OAO CORS MARA TransAm RASCAR GPL Rank + 17.415 MoGPL Rank + 318.586 N2002 Rank + 7.695 TransAm Rank ??

Many of us use the Right Control Key as the trigger for TeamSpeak. Other keys seem to have trouble. YMMV. You can then map the Right Control Key to a wheel button as I do. "Darryl Johnson" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:NJYJb.738$[email hidden]...

Something important came up and I had to miss the race. Since everyone put in practice time, I'll join in if you guys decide to schedule it again.

Hope things are OK now Dave. I'm happy to run it again this Sunday or we could try Bathurst. Over to you guys. Regards "David G Fisher" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I _could_ use more time to work on a setup for Bathurst. (I'm bouncing badly around on several corners. Springs too soft?) And I never did get more than about half a lap in after the green at LeMans. On the other hand, LM is a _little_ bit boring, n'est-ce pas? Those long straights... -- Darryl Neil Charlton wrote in news:btk024$23c$[email hidden]: > Hope things are OK now Dave.

Wow! This version of Bathurst is a tremendous improvement over the tracks they made for GPL! You really get a sense of the elevation changes. Much tighter corners and those camber changes are something else. I'd love to try this track in real life (in a street sedan, chicken that I am!). -- Darryl

Thats my problem with ETCC. Without a basic stable setup to get me started it's about impossible for me to invest the kind of time required to be at all competitive. WE NEED A FAST type SETUP for ANY mod that comes out!!! Finding any setups for ETCC is about impossible. Mitch Darryl Johnson wrote:
