Nice one! They've put some guardrails up, I like that.
Makes me want pacenotes and a co-driver though

EDIT 39.54 Brabham BT11 - poor lap, many crashes

Yeah, it's great with the 65s. I've done three complete laps and managed 40:12.42 so far with the Ferrari. I tried the BT11 the other day but I forgot to check fuel level so I ran out. Will give it another go...

Quoting http://wiki.grandprixlegends.i ... and_troubleshooting_guide

GPL runs as only a small square in the top corner of the screen
- The line in the core.ini:
[ Direct3D7 ]
DirectMirrorRendering = 1
Change it to
DirectMirrorRendering = 0

Hope it works


Haven't tried the Dino... I read somewhere it's the F1 car with another body although that basically was the case in real life too.

Ok, a quick guide for Dajmin. Always follow the instructions in readme-files, etc. I think this should work...

Download the 2004 demo: http://www.bhmotorsports.com/GPL/downloads/3239
Create a new player and see if everything works.
Install GEM+, run it to see if everything works: http://gem.ebi-service.de/downloads.html
Install the 67-update: http://srmz.net/index.php?showtopic=4875
(Now install any mod/carset you like (65, 66, 69 available afaik) and download the latest updates)
Download and install Targa or any other track you like: http://gpltd.bcsims.com/
Go drive! You might want to use other setups than default, there are plenty to choose from... Search google.

The FAQ was helpful when I got it running: http://wiki.grandprixlegends.i ... and_troubleshooting_guide

Just did a 40.12 with the 65 Ferrari and I used reverse gear only once.

Fantastic track. I've only managed two laps so far - none of them clean, hehe.

And yes, you can run the Targa using demo version, but you still have to apply the right patches/updates.

Hello,
I feel like I need to explain what just happened.
I went on the server some minutes before the 22 lap race started. After T1 my computer froze and I lagged out of the server. That problem has never occured before, and I don't know what caused the error. Too bad I had lots of cars behind me.
I really am terribly sorry, and I hope all of you could get past me without crashing, or at least your race wasn't totally ruined.

I won't go online again until I have a solution...

As a Volvo enthusiast I hope for some classic 1960's cars as well, like the PV544, Amazon (122) and the P1800. I'm curious to see what "well known Volvo race cars" they'll have. Variety ftw!
Would be nice with even older cars as well, but it's not like they'd fit into a racing game.

Although I must say my expectations on this game are not that big... We'll see!

Perhaps you can try a FE Gold setup, it should work ok.

We are trying to finalise the needed details before we open the sign-ups.
Thanks to liveforspeed.se we have a server now:
6h of Fern Bay

We won't qualify using hotlaps, instead there will be online qualifying on the server before the race begins. More information to follow...
Please remember we want every participant to have 50 online laps before the event starts. This won't take more than three hours, but it's clever to start practicing ASAP.

During testing - yes.
During races - yes, both to see the tyre status and what TitanLS said, to get rid of that large connection/racer list.

What's this cold reaction?
Do you need more details? Are we thinking bad ideas? Or is everything crystal clear so it doesn't need any discussions?
Or is it plain lack of interest?

Quote from ColeusRattus :The best solution IMHO wpuld be a server side setting:

Allow full setup
Allow limited setup (more real life increments like from after market products)
Factory setup (only things which don't require a workshop and a mechanic are changable, like tyres and pressure)

I agree with this.
I do hope, though, that existing leagues and servers will allow for full setupchanges and that the limited setup options will make for exciting new leagues.

Inviting endurance racing fans to the 6h of Fern Bay, all welcome!!
We do have a few requirements, but those should not be a problem even for unexperienced teams/drivers.


31 January (Saturday)
Fern Bay Black (FE4)
GTR class
6 hours

12.00 to 18.00 Swedish time (11.00 to 17.00 UTC)

(Driver-swap regulations are soon to be anounced)

Qualifying by hotlaps. (Subject to change.)

Teams consists of 2-4 drivers,
We require good knowledge of the combo, therefore minimum 50 online laps driven is needed to start the race.

Signup will be at forum.liveforspeed.se (but not yet!)

Very nice! Love the music when results are displayed.
Great to not only see yourself in a LFS-movie, but also to hear your name in it!
In my final race against De Souza you can clearly see that I was too nervous and pushed the car too hard the whole lap, losing time. That should explain my wreck in the last corner... Shame I missed the rest of the season.

Thank you for this! :clapclap:

Tracks I've been visiting:

Ring Knutstorp ~20 km
Mantorp Park 350 km
Scandinavian Raceway Anderstorp 215 km
Falkenbergs Motorbana 170 km
(and some nearby karting tracks, but they don't count)

I never visited Sturup Raceway (40 km) or Kinnekulle Ring (410 km) and then there are a couple of Danish tracks which I never been to. Gotland Ring would also be within some hours driving. (And Linköpings Motorstadium is not far away from Mantorp - perhaps 30 km.)


The list Feffe85 copypasted is interesting. The public road racetrack there was used for sports car racing 1955-1957... But that would have been very close to me.

We have more than one track per million inhabitants here in Sweden!
