ACC Test Server UP !

I will go with that Rob, With a bit of luck we may get a few more drives on there.

 

Are result files available?

 

I was about to have a chat with you about that ! At this time no..however there is a results folder in with the log folders . I believe theres a switch in the code to turn it on but its not activated this build. On a side note I believe its going to be tied in with the broadcast features , they talk about API or not needing API As its all built in , or something along those lines .. it starts to get technical so i got lost lol , Anyway be assured you will be the first to know once we are able to fetch results!

 

Rob is intending to put a server up each Monday the password will be default practice password.

 

Servers Up !
This Mondays test race is at Zolder ! test sessions start around 19:00 & with a 30 min race after .
servers on a loop for any and all action !

 

Not long got home hope to make the next test race.

 

Im heading to the server now !

 

By the time I had some food that was gone 9 will be on when the server goes back up next Monday.

 

Thx for showing up those of you that did . we have a learning curve here & we learn as we go ! the start sequence is a bit of a mystery I will try to explain what I know witch has a 50% chance of being right ! lol
At this time the starts are not adjustable meaning its a default rolling start we cannot change this with this build , once the q session is over after a pause the cars will all be placed on the grid about 1/2 way back on the last turn ,your engine will fire once your race director gives the word to stay 2x2 , this is when the pole sitter is free to start the rolling start , I believe the limiter is still on , we stay 2x2 until we get the green , The green flag comes out as the pole sitter hits the line .. go go go .. race on ! next time we will be a little better on starts !
Another thing I noticed is as players get speeding or cut penalty's it will give you a message , Ken got a track cut & when I saw it I thought it was for me so I did an un necessary drive threw and got a DQ for speeding in the pits ! lol (my rev lim button is not mapped) !

Fun and Games !
servers still up for a day or so , I will change the track tonight ..
Thanks !

 

Yeh there was a lot confusing for me too. When I got the track cut after messing up the 2nd chicane, it told me I had 3 laps to take it with this message:
"RCTL Drive through to be taken within 3 laps (or something similar)" WTH does RCTL mean?? I thought it might have been telling me to press the right+ctrl key when I was going to take the D/T but it didn't do anything when I pressed it.

As I wasn't going to be able to do the full race anyway, I decided to ESC, which put me in the pits but then I could still go back out on the pit-lane speed limiter but it gave me a speeding penalty?!? Then the penalty message disappeared and never showed its face again when passing the start finish line, like other sims do, so I lost track of when/what the penalty had to be taken. Then somewhere along the line after getting the 2nd pit-lane speeding penalty, it decided I now had a Stop/Go penalty. Not sure if this was becasue of the first cut penalty when I ESC but it allowed me back out, or for the 2nd speeding penalty. All VERY CONFUSING.

Otherwise For the first time I enjoyed driving this Sim and the steering/FFB worked without a hitch unlike last time.

 

@Ken Jagger I always thought 'RCTL' was just short for 'Race Control'?
Correctomundo …!

 

So how do you take a DT penalty? Do you just drive through the pit lane or does it need to selected in a menu somewhere so the Sim knows you are not doing a normal pit-stop?


Also when I came into the pits for the SG penalty there was no pitbox highlighted or any other area highlighted so I didn't know where to stop??
