Season 5 - Event 6 - Toban 6/10/2007 - PreRace Chat

[KarlosDaJackal]

We will be using Ezzas fix.

I did a test race here and after 5 laps the safety car came out. Will be interesting if that happens on race night :eek:

[the_wrexer]

I have never known the safety car to come out in races is that a bug on the track?

[ICKE]

So far I´ve been able to do 1:35:3. This track is really great for racing, you have to work for those positions.

[KarlosDaJackal]

Are you sure that it was a bug?


don't think it was a bug just something that happened. has anyone else tried an offline race yet?

[Jack Stand]

Well, I've done a few offline races here....been a while tho'....I don't recall the safety car coming out.....wouldn't that be a hoot in a league race:p...ohhhh what fun we would have:eek:

[cecil-swain]

i will

In what car ICKE? (just out of interest:p)

[McDanger]

I just finished my first dozen laps or so in the ViperCC and now understand why so many demanded a fix so we could keep this track,it is indeed a beauty,and also quality work has been done making it,best so far is a 1:36.8xx,plenty more tweaking and learning to be done through the week.

[ICKE]

With the Porsche altough I can do competitive times with the Z3 as well (easier on the tires).

[Sidewinder16]

Managed a 1:37.2 on the server in a porsche last night. I like this track as it flows very well and all the turns fit together and make sense. I have two concerns about the track though. The first is how close the pit exit is to turn 1, everyone is going to have to pay attention when someone is exiting the pits as the speed differential could catch you out. From the testing I did last night there seems to be only one line through the first 5 turns which may cause problems and collisions at the start of the race.

[Horus]

I have put my name forward but was wondering if there are any skins mods or anything I should download. This is just incase I am lucky enought to get in the race. Take care all and toban is quite cool.

Oh!! My I'm the Noob with only 33 posts, I will put my dummy back in and cuddle my blanket. There there. Good nighty

you will need the NGR_V.2 carpack listed in this thread the following otherwise you will get kicked from the server for missing cars http://www.nogripracing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13131

Now I have installed and followed the directions for installation and all I get is a CTD, is this a patch or a full download v1.3? Is there something I have done wrong. NGR in teams / talents and the other files in game data. Any help would be truly appreciated. I just cannot get it to run in practice. Thanks all.

[Sidewinder16]

When exactly does the CTD happen?

[Horus]

When I start a practice in ngr at Toban (tried other tracks and the same), with any car. I have no cars showing in the showroom, the names of the models appear but the cars themselves do not show up, just blank nada. I cannot get them to work?

[Sidewinder16]

I suggest you check where you put the files in the GameData directory. if the cars are not showing up that suggests that the game cannot find the files where it expects to find them. Go through the readme file in the carpack and check you have the files in the right place.

[Horus]

Already done that and all the cars are where the install txt tells me to put them. Very strange, I am uninstalling again. Never know might work this time, post in five to say if it worked. If it doesn't I'm going to install another gtr2 and see if it works on that.

Well I never, I have done exactly the same as the last five or six times, files and folders in exactly the same place and now they work?? So sorry for wasting peoples time I would not believe it myself if someone told me but there you go.

So sorry Sidewinder for wasting your time but thank you very much for the support and hopefully I will see you at the race. And to all those who made this ngr championship thank you very much the cars look great and I know everyone who drives in this league are gentlemen/ladies and it will be a pleasure to race you till later Bye for now.

[Jack Stand]

for me, its been kinda lonely out on the practice server...did see Mr Squalo last night tho'...:up:........so far I can find a 1:39:xx in the 911 Porka Cup...wooohooo---back of the pack with Jack, yet again.:p It's a good thang I don't discourage easily:drink:

[KarlosDaJackal]

I might end up just spectating this one.

I have failed memory and my machine can't seem to stay up for more that 30 minutes without crash :cry:

4 Gigs of new memory on the way but unlikely to arrive until early next week.

[lowndes888]

Somethin in the range of 1:37-8 with a Z3 but I don't think I'll be racin

[McDanger]

Had my first try of the 911 and found it to be surprisingly good,i usually cant get to grips with the wee beetle cars at all,but i got this thing setup quickly and feeling good right away,just the old "hot tyres" issue that i suppose everyone else has to deal with,but still happy with a 1:35.9xx,clearly with some time left to find,then it will be work on getting longer life from the tyres,i think i might rule out the ViperCC now with the 2 stops being a bit off-putting,a shame really as the CC feels rock solid round that track.

Holy Mother of all penguin bashers!! 4GB of ram that's more ram than a field of sheep, don't you think that is a bit of overkill??

YEEeeeee!!! HAAAaaaaa!!

Well it arrived today (less than 24 hours from shipping :eek:)

So i guess I better start practicing, and leave the motogp bikes aside for a few hours :cool:

[dav_ral]

i suppose id better get practicing too. first league race of the season for me!

[ICKE]

1:34:6 in the server. Tomorrow we will see what kind of times Jayblue and Ezza will set. :)

OMG

:eek:

I'm at high 38 after my first couple of hours practice, don't see it getting much faster between now and the race. Still getting used to having 4 wheels again :D

[edgecrusher]

Yeah, I'm also very interested.

I did some low 1:35's in Porsche, which is definately the fastest car of the pool, but considering it literally eats the tyres at this pace may not be the fastest over the race. Also did some low-to-mid 1:36 in Z3, and it's the easiest car regarding the tyres. So my guess is, one of those might win :) In Viper CC I had high 1:37, but the car doesn't suit me at all, and last of course was Lotus with mid 1:38. Seeing u've got great community here, I can't wait to get some decent internet access and try my skill online. Good luck to everyone :)

[Slick1]

Im coming everybody lol...im rust now...this track is sooo cool...and the cars are great

[Steve_300ZX]

In the 1.36's in the Lotus and quite nice to drive around here. May not be the winner of a car, but gonna be a fun car to drive, without having to stress myself too much.

[McDanger]

I think i have more or less settled on the 911 now,best so far is 1:35.1xx,and i think im at that stage of not having much left at all to find,the cooking tyres thing is a going to be a tough problem for most of the 911 drivers,especially me who is really not what you would call a natural in these things,still starting to look forward to this one as i think it will provide some action packed close racing and also could throw up a surprise podium placing........... ;) (no,,i dont mean me).

[dav_ral]

yea, i agree with McD! could be a surprise if someone takes a gamble with one of the other cars!

also, im in the mid 1:36's aswell, but karlos has labeled me the drift king round here, but thats probably not the best thing to do if i want to presever my tyres!

[sege]

I think passing might be tricky here..........:p no seriously! there's only one line round most of the corners i know of.
Also I imagine there will be plenty of off's, so keeping it neat, patient and considered will be the order of the day.
GLA
SWEET! I've just realised that I'm now 12 hours ahead of you guys, as we put our clocks forward recently, so that means I get an hours lay-in tomorrow morning!
night night everyone.

[KarlosDaJackal]

I think passing will be quite easy actually :cool:

[Horus]

I think passing will be quite easy actually :cool:

I agree most people will be on the grass making it easy to overtake.:D
