P & G v2.1 Server Up and Running

jaguar23 · 9 June 12, 18:57

Just to let you all know im hosting P&G v2.1 races on dedicated server.

Game Name in Lobby = P&Gv2.1 Virtua LM Tracks. (No Password)

Nothing serious, just a bit of fun with other P&G fans. So if you are bored then please stop by!

As brilliant as P & G is im amazed how few sessions show up in lobby??

Cheers,

Steve

Steve, i try to get online Tues/Wed night after 8 for a couple of hours if thats any good?
Getting back into P&G after a 3 month trial with iracing ( really felt like a trial and a chore!

) and also have a trip to the Le Mans Classic in a few weeks time so this should wet the appetite

Regards Mark.

jaguar23 · 10 June 12, 20:02

Hi Mark,

Im going to leave it running, but yes Tues/ Wed always good for me!

I know what you mean about iRacing! Ive been a member for over a year now, and there is something just not right? Although I do love the Oval racing!

I always seem to do rather well, until Ricky Bobby & Co notice that im British and take insult to the fact im leading them!

. Then they usually slam into me and hurl abuse that ive just wrecked thier race?!?

. But then I do find it really amusing! Most of the time?

But yes I always return to Power & Glory as to me its still the only sim that just feels right.

Some of us are waiting for version 3 to be released before we reinstall P&G

Thats what I dont understand? Whats wrong with 2.1 to have uninstalled it? Seems like a lot have done this? I wouldnt have thought drive space would be an issue? Hard Drives are cheaper than cigarettes!

jucke · 11 June 12, 18:00

There is nothing really wrong with 2.1, it's still best historic racing mod in my opinion. It's just the fact that almost all cars i _really_ want to drive are in v.3.0

Even thought i still play 2.1 quite lot.

DucFreak · 11 June 12, 19:13

That's ok.
While I also think there's nothing "wrong" with P&G v2, I can honestly understand some reluctance to (re)install it.
There have been hints and spoilers of P&G v3 (images, videos, discussions, etc) and there are some substancial differences afterall. Perhaps that is making the current "old" version feel a little redundant for some (heck, even I haven't use it for ages), a downside unfortunately.
Mogget was a v3 beta-tester for a time (I think), so maybe his pov gets to be a little more justified(?).

Still... it can't hurt to reinstall P&Gv2, if at least to get some "apetite" and some feel, for what is coming.

Wednesdays are good for me, 9 onwards - when the wife quits the TV

I hope v3 isnt too different!

iRacing 2.0 with NTM flashbacks!!!

Im sure the P & G team, wouldnt mess things up? Would you?

Im still going to carry on enjoying the wonderful P & G 2.1 until v3 arrives next week.

Well.............

I was trying to get some "period correct" broly dollies (as in "as they were then", not fat old ladies!

) and the pitguys with huge sideburns but... we haven't manage to implement that (yet!!).

mark7 · 11 June 12, 20:39

Very happy to carry on with P&G V2.1.
Tried out all the new sims, iracing,Pcars,Rfactor 2 but still continue with P&G.
The game just feels right, but i agree it is missing the "period correct brolly dollies and the pitguys with huge sideburns"

Regards Mark.

I didn't uninstall it. I purchased a new PC, and decided to wait for version 3 before I installed it again

My decision has nothing to do with whether I think that version 3 is vastly superior to 2.1. I am very keen to start racing in P&G again, but I want to do that with version 3. I prefer to wait for the new version than have to install it twice. I guess that sounds a bit strange, but I am quite happy to wait.

Well, for a bit longer anyway

eahueahueah · 12 June 12, 21:56

i'm the only 1 in there popping wheelies and laying rubber!

jaguar23 · 16 June 12, 15:12

Ive seen a couple of folks appear on the server for a couple of laps, but I guess im flogging a dead horse? Shame cause I do love P & G and was hoping for a bit more response? If anyone has any suggestions then please feel free to suggest!

AzRiM · 17 June 12, 08:13

I would join if I had time, and I would need to install 2.1 as a separate install as I only have various v3.0 installations. Funny thing I never got to race v2.1 online ever, and being the team member for the 3.0 build I will change that for this version most definitely.....even we amongst each other in the team did not have a real chance to race the v3.0...

mark7 · 17 June 12, 16:53

Hi Steve, how about setting up a day and time to race and see if that gets a response?
Or can you set lap times on the server and you could list the fastest?

cheers, Mark.

maseratialfa · 18 June 12, 03:49

I subscribe to Iracing also. However I dont use it much after I progressed up in licensing, found it steril, and unpopulated for the advanced road racing. Now GTL, and P&G have that feel and cars that I like. Have had a few league races with GTL, but never been online with P&G. I'll keep an eye on this to see if there are any orginized races/practise, but I am in the US which is difficult from a time perspective.
