Round 1 - Buenos Aires [Feb. 2nd]

#36 Gorilla Brambilla for me.

Will free the car,if the field is full

The hotlap for the 1979 F1 series is now online .

Also, Mauro Mariani and Corti have improved this version of the track to v1.04, with better textures, shaders, reflections and a better road mesh as well . We'll use this updated version for our race, it will be installed on the server soon .

Could I borrow the #25 please?

Two files need to be changed Mick:

rfactor.name is the other file

No sorry mate, not how it works :

In the event of a driver announcing his absence to a given race, his car will not be made available for another driver.

But you can have one of the free cars in the entry list .

Aw crap.....I missed that line......there goes my "wait in the wings for s decent one off rather than get trodden in the opening stamped" But out of curiosity, the reasoning for that ruling?

Mainly to keep it accurate, i.e. not have a guy using 5 or 6 or more different cars along one championship which barely if ever happened in real life. Also we don't want one-off drivers to influence too much the points race, while there is also some concern about tourists coming just for a race, wrecking or misbehaving.

Training server is offline for a while, doing a bit of maintenance. Will let you know when it's back online .

Good to go

Can you please assign me a car.
My prefered is Ferrari
I could try a Ligier alternatively or whatever admins decide
Tx

You were assigned the #2 Lotus in the season's entry list

Merci

Getting an error. Any suggestions to fix it?
Strange thing is a few hours earlier I joined without a problem - but did not turn laps.
Now this error:

Hmm, Ben did a new package with the updated v1.04 version of the track. Maybe you need to uninstall or unsubscribe to the original v1.02.

Sorted thanks

hmm did some laps in Buenos, my times are not saved at http://164.132.233.235:64450/tracks?id=2&sort_by=


the track is very unreadable for me, on some cornrs isnot too clear where to go , many corners hidden over horizons

I see you are on the server now, are you talking about a time you just did ? Because hotlaps are not instantaneously showed on the hotlap page. The hotlap plugin scans the server every 10 minutes for .xml files in which to grab times. These files are created at the end of a session, so in around 15 minutes from now for the session you are now in on the server .

There will never be a pit speed limit in HSO races, unless specified otherwise. Even if the track we use has one and you get a pit speed limit mentioned in-game you can safely ignore it : no penalties will be enforced either by the game or the admins.

Please note that server has been updated to v1.04 of the track. If you had v1.02 installed you need to uninstall it before accessing the server .

Setups

This is hugely disappointing.

Hmm, really ? That's how all HSO championships have ever been run, although there has been some bouts of heresy in this respect the last couple of years.

For one thing, it's one of HSO's founding principles : the point is to be Lauda or Jones or whomever during the 1979 Grand Prix season, not to be Jones one race, Laffite at the next and Merzario at another.

Also, it's not fair to have some people committing to the same car all year while others can pick and chose the best car available at each round. It has to be either fixed for the season or totally free for each race as it is in the Gold Star series.
