It looks amazing! More than enough to keep me entertained while the physics and modelling come together. And a slight reprieve from the coming LYTpocalypse, too

Quote from Scawen :

Also it was becoming painfully clear that we needed a way to prevent piracy. Seeing your business melt away due to continual theft isn't a great feeling. Just putting out the updated tracks with the old system would have been a nice gift for the pirates and we simply can't do that any more.

Absolutely. I will have to run only the PiranMOTO servers that are in good use for a while but it is for good reason, and the direct host option looks good.

Quote from Scawen :

And apparently every task takes longer than I can possibly imagine.

Rule 1 of planning

Quote from Victor :

I would really appreciate it if people think about this a bit. Do you really need to host insim applications on the gaming machine itself?

The only thing I can think of having used in PiranMOTO that would be broken by this is a function to repopulate the layouts directory. I don't use it any more, but might need to if the LYTs disappeared with a restart of the host. If we could upload layouts and download replays with an API, that would handle everything I can think of with just a little tweaking to my code. Most of the same-host trickery I do is for clients rather than DCON

Awesome news, and my F5 key also thanks you for the update

Tonight, **Friday 29th** at **19:00 UTC**!

Back to the full range of DD cars this week, and return to bale-drafting... this time with an extra crossover and in a car with a clutch

Hi All! Not just a new track this week, but a new track that requires a new trick: bale-drafting!

Join us on Friday 15th October, at 19:00 UTC

There is news coming in the next few weeks, but there will be no spoilers beforehand... we just have to wait (as told by Scawen in other threads)

I notice that a setup file is small enough to fit into an InSim packet with a header for UCID, would it be possible to send and receive them through InSim?

InSims could then send setups to players on-demand, and if players can send them too, the InSims could do things like checking wing setting limits*, and mixing track-specific gearboxes to a preferred setup.

Somebody could make an interactive setup bot, even - somebody who doesn't know how to do setups could send it their set, click a button that says 'too oversteery', and get back a copy that has had the front/rear stiffness balance tweaked a little and try it out.

I thought that using the host entry in the connection list (ie, give it the same s/ss buttons as players) would make giving your setup voluntary, so should side-step the whole setup-spying issue?

*I did a league once that required a minimum wing setting, it was a pain for all involved to verify it manually

What does anyone think?

Quote from osen :

Thank you, glad to hear you liked it And thank you for the distance measurement, mind sharing how you got those numbers?

I made an insim odometer when driving a RAC very carefully got to be too much trouble

I love the industrial section and the curbs are super-smooth, nice work.

PS: 5.25 miles / 8.45 km

Np, np

PS: The FZR rear sizes go up to 9

Awesome

At about 2:28 I try to go from top-left of screen to bottom-right... 5th time's the charm

The value is different depending on car, and also front/rear in the case of FZR.

Here's a reference:

Thanks for the kind words, Rez, glad you enjoy it

Just to clarify, it's only PiranMOTODestructionDerby where you may crash with competitors - other PiranMOTO servers follow the Rules of Clean Racing.

The Friday night DDs are Jon's nights (I don't want to steal his credit ) and it's always 20:00 UK time, so that works out to be 19:00 UTC in the summer and 20:00 UTC in the winter.

PiranMOTO Trial of Champions #1 - the Trial of the Crossover - Review



Wow! What an event! A good showing of drivers from outside the DD world adding to several DD champions meant for absolute chaos on-track right from the off, and a battle that went down to the wire!

With thanks to Simbroadcasts for an excellent stream, and Jonathan Siddle for the awesome commentary! Watch the full Simbroadcasts stream here: https://youtu.be/UR9p62NonNw?t=294
