You can still test off-line Paulo despite there being no track online. On the right side when setting a test day up you can choose amount of rubber and the like and you can check what times we've run at previous tracks and use that for guidance if you're looking for pace compared to others

Thanks @Jonatan.  
I'm just start to doing that, after downloaded all the tracks that are available (South Africa & Spain unavailable).

Meanwhile, can anyone provide a base setup?  
email: silvaro@sapo.pt  (with thanks in advance)

I'm not sure why Spain isn't around but I'll see what we can do about it.

In terms of South Africa, it's a AMS track so no need to download

I'm having huge FPS issues on the backstraight behind the pits and also on other parts where there's lots of spectators, so i turned the circuit detail and textures from max to high - result is the corner distance boards having this bugged texture..

Any issues or bugs you spotted during the test race, please post them here. 

I had the same issue Pascal mentioned on the server, FPS dropping after the bridge heading into Fuchsröhre, regardless of the detail level used. It's back to normal when hitting the dip at the bottom of the hill. It didn't happen anywhere else.

Its a bit strange if it only happens on that part of the track.
It could be objects being drawn in the rearview mirrors.  

Pascal also said it occasionally happened at Tiergarten. Could it be the bridges in the rear view mirror?

It could be but the bridges are not made from a lot of polygons. There are some 3D people before the bridge going down to Fuchsröhre. I'll remove some objects from the rear view.

Oh yea I forgot to mention the graphics glitch still occurring. Only the cockpit is fuzzy like it looses graphics qulality. Only happens when I join the server, it works fine offline?? Everything else seems fine.

I had this same issue but didn't think much of it until reading this now.

Everything else was fine.

did one fast lap but uncounted (went off track a little) and 2nd timed lap on braking to T1 distorded sound and game fall to main menu immediately , no error message or anthing

so little pessimistic of today

I have been kicked out of the server numerous times after completing one timed lap.  As I cross the S/F line, I see "Connection Lost" and then get sent back to the main menu.

just now kicked when finished lap, escaped to pits and was saving setup, after reconecting nobody there (before Kick Hlavac and Wilks was there)

quick chat doesnt work in AMS?  in RF ok (i have timer on button box to send whisper message to keep connected on long circuits but there is not working

Does it happen multiple times or was it just a one off?
The track has been up several days and no one else has reported this issue. Has the issue only started today?
Do you have the new track installed? 

Regarding the chatbox, it worked fine for the test race. It's not something we can edit.

I just started work on my skills and setup today so i didn notice it before

Have you downloaded the updated track?

See if the issue happens again. It may be a one off. I have a feeling it's an issue on your end since no other regular driver has had issues that I'm aware of.

Try deleting and reinstalling the track.

I downloaded the track yesterday. Everytime i hit ESC after a timed lap I loose connection while going to pit. When I re-enter I see my last laptime is not saved on the time sheet. Happened a few times in a row now.

Have you tried using the shortcut and Esc in the pits? I've had no issues, has anyone else?

Hasn't happend to me yet thank god. Just got done doing a few laps on the server. Everything was smooth.

Same here. Now I tried NOT to take the shortcut but still it will kick me after 1 or 2 timed laps when I crossed the finishing line. I only have 1 version of this track installed so I'm running out of ideas. Never happened to me b4 on Nords...and the bad thing is: This is my favourite track

Tried lowering track details?

it is same bug which was in rfactor on longer tracks (or long pitstops at 6h races), it is why i made timed button to send whisper to unexisting driver to keep my connection on server active

it worked well but in AMS i mapped all the same as in rfactor but in AMS it is not functioning and keep disconections after sit in pits for a while or after minute in pits make onelap and then in timed lap after SF line connection lost

this bug was happening only to some drivers (maybe PC dependat)

was 5 minutes away from car and then disco, teh whisper button is not working in AMS (gold rfactor there it was working well)

Whispers work in AMS, perhaps your doing something wrong or it needs to go to an actual person.

I tried the same thing, and some people were seeing the messages even though they were whispered to no existent people.
