Great, now we've just turned the forums into a Redline server.

lol, and I just forgot to say: "Thank you all for the publicity!"

I'm quite sure if this topic would have named 'UKCT' or 'CTRA' it would be closed or deleted just in time.

But it's named 'RedLine Racing' - BTW wrong spell, correct would be 'Redline Racing', and so it's still around and open for further, pointless postings.

Requesting again a handy, fresh cleanup ... thanks!

Requesting a fresh and nice cleanup from the Mods. Thanks!

First, without reading a 'Setup-Guide-For-Dummies', I don't have any clue about the final drive and gear ratio stuff.

But thanks a lot for your tips. Will try this 75% Weight Position for now. Let's see if it helps in making the tail more sticky to the ground.

Driving the FO8 is new to me. So I had absolutely NO setup than 'Default' and 'RACE_S'. My intention for posting this collection is to give other 'FO8 Newbies' a handfull 'ready-to-run' FJR setups. So they don't need to do the whole 'Let's see what track is running - download setup from inferno - do the changes on restrictions - and then race' procedure.

The Profs of you don't need them at all, I know about that.

Quote from Jakg :

And are these setups tweaked (ie gear ratios etc) for the FJR, or just the intake restriction et al?

No other modifications done yet. I'm not a good setup maker, more a user. No idea what to change ...

ATM I work around the 'Intake Restriction' by pushing the gears to a bit higher rpm as pointed by the 'Manual shift indicator'. Feels faster to me ...

The attached .zip contains some modified FO8 Setups from Team Inferno Setupfield. All Setups comes up with an 'Intake Restriction' of 20% and 'Added Mass' of 70kg. 'Mass position' is always 50%. These modifications are needed to drive the Formula Junior Series cars on the 'CTRA Single Seaters 2' server.

The .zip contains only the latest available WR setups. So maybe you still miss some setups ...

Thanks to Team Inferno and all nice guys who uploaded their WR sets.
Special thanks to you CTRA Dev's for bringing us this funny 'new' car.

Kind regards,
-xdream-

PS: I know, you can download and change the setups on your own or use Becky's new FJR-Tool, but I thought it's worth to share this collection anyways ...

Hello all,

why does a handfull people have the power to change the track by voting to end the race (shift+x)?

Few minutes ago the track changed from FE2 to BL1. In the same moment some people were talking about to end the race by a vote. But not all agreed with them and so the race started. Unfortunatly in lap 2 the vote reached it's minimum requirement of 50%. And so the track changed again to SO5, allthough many of us wanted to race BL1 ...

Maybe you can do anything against this abusing usage of the vote system?

Server: CTRA Race 1
Report raised, replay attached, report sent ...

Quote from Becky Rose :

No specification for phase 2 is confirmed and everything is subject to change. In terms of an ETA that is harder to answer. Currently i'm heavily engaged in deals and development for the STCC and obviously I have a few broadcasts to do aswell. I do not anticipate starting phase 2 until Q1 next year.

Thanks for clarifying this, Becky.

Now, I'm having an idea about the ETA! I thought some things are confirmed yet and that work is in progress. Now I see, Phase 2 is in an early state atm. But I'm pretty sure that you will come up with detailed information, if it's time for it. You always do!

Ringing at your door too early!.

Thank you!

License level won't be reset, so it's still worth to gain some progress!

Do I understand right, that the points and things like "Yellows", "Wins", "Podiums" etc. etc. will be reset?

Hello,

I'm having a few questions about Phase 2 of the CTRA X-System.

1. When can we expect Phase 2? I know it's not easy to shedule, but perhaps you can give us an idea about the approximate point in time?!
2. Statistics and Scoring will be deleted or remained when Phase 2 comes up?
3. What will be the major and minor changes on CTRA X-System for Phase 2?

Thanks in advance for taking your time answering this!

Quote from Stone in Focus :

not its not, theyre desugned to take that sort of punishment. Its beter for them than if you were holding onto the wheel, resisting the movement, such as during the odd unavoidable collision and even hard conering/correcting.

I'm sorry about having problems understanding you. English is not my native language. But if you're telling me that wheels are getting no damage from those crashes, I can tell you: They do! My first wheel (Thrustmaster RGT Clutch Edt.) were killed by a after-race-crasher.

@SparkyDave: ESC is working great - thanks for the tip!

Sounds cool - keep up the good work!

Quote from rjm1982 :

If the ctra or redline server started races with the uf1000, the mrt, or the lx-X cars, those would be the popular cars.

Redline Server 3 were set to LX4/LX6 @ SO1 and as nobody was going to play this, it were set to MRT @ SO3. In fact I raced alone with max. a handfull people. Finally it were set back to a popular BF1 combo due to lack of interest on those rare combos.

Thanks Stable, yeah was great fun today. Also great racing with you!!

And - omg - Matze has really done some awesome laps while 'Dean' blowed us all off the track.

Today I posted this by mistake in a new thread, because the title of this thread is about Dean ...

Quote from -xdream- :

Today we had a few races on AS7R with stormy winds. Only one of all the guys racing was able to manage to get a 'good' laptime. But even this guy got only 5 points for his win. All other finished racers got ZERO points ... this were really demotivating people. With wind on it's really hard to get a decent laptime, which finally is needed to get some points at the end of the race.

Maybe it's possible that the X-System is having a bit more tolerance on the laptimes when strange winds blowing around the track?

What I mean is something like this:

I really like the wind on CTRA-Servers and don't want to complain about it. It's giving me the chance to reach the podium, even if I start from last position. But why should I do such a hard race, when I got no points at the end of the race, even if I finish 1st or 2nd.

Thanks for the link buddie.

Hurricane Dean ... what a matching title! I thought the thread is really about the Hurricane, so I didn't read it ...

So I'm sorry for double reflecting this. This forum is so huge, I missed to find anything about this. Oh, and yes, I used the 'Search' function.

Thanks Flip for telling me this.

I guess it's more a driver settings problem you're having. At least I recommend to use only the latest, original nVidia drivers [linked]. Hope it helps ...

I haven't noticed this:

Quote from SparkyDave :

If you press Esc FF switches off, no more wheel slamming

Seems to be a good solution! Thanks I'll try it.
But that now helps only the people who read this thread, or have this great idea by themself ...

I really hate those 'after-race-party-crashers'! After a race I'm going to put my hands away from the wheel to roll a cigarette. And everytime any of those party-racers crash into my car, the wheel is spinning around like hell. This can badly DAMAGE the wheel!!!

So may I allowed to ask: Is it really so funny to :tombstone your racer friends hardware? :worried:

+1 ban them!

Put it in your lfs/data/spr folder. Then start the game and choose "Replays" from the main menu. As you watch the replay you are able to test-drive it, using the same car-setup as the driver in the replay. Press ESC and choose "Test drive" from the menu.

IMO /ban CHEATER 999 sets a very clear example/warning to the rest, - come to a server and cheat , expect not to visit that server (and possibly others) again...

If they are old enough to work out how to cheat , then they are old enough to face a ban

+1

That's how it should be!

Quote from muhaa :

It shouldn't be long for the patch xdream m8.He is working on it i think he has every thing he need's to fix it.

Thanks for the info. Will have an eye on this thread, it's very interesting.

It sounds like you know what you're talking about, muhaa.

Any idea, when can we expect the patch? I'm very interested in ...
