    Once again, we have opened up the car selection for drivers to choose whatever cars they would like to drive! You have all the GT3's or the ELMS P2 ..
    Please make sure you unregister and re-register with the proper car before entering the server! HERE Remember the LMP2 is no longer available for the series, so please, if you have previously selected this car, unregister and choose one of the available cars! ;)

    Drivers! Please ensure you register with the correct cars. I only see 4 ELMS P2s and one LMP2, which is no longer in the series.
    Make sure, if you're going to switch, to un-register & re-register with your proper car of choice!

    Drivers! Smile for the camera!
    In preparation for the 2026 championship, for this round, we will test LMU's broadcast software!
    I will be broadcasting this round live on the SRO YouTube channel!
    LMU's broadcast software went through some changes with the latest builds, and at one point, it was not working at all. This was due to some security issues, so the code was rewritten & now, with some help, I have managed to get it working, but now we need to test it out!

    I will miss this race. Its called irony. I await the towing service to come take my BMW to a service garage 100 km away, I live in in a sparsely populated Provence in a place that we call, The Bush. Have fun.

    i like this game, but i am finding it very frustrating.
    keep getting the random sound problem where i have to alt+tab out of the game and switch the sound setting from earphones to speakers and back again (i now keep the sound setting page open in the background whenever playing this game).
    then today when we went on the grid to start the race i had the usual sound problem which i manged to fix while waiting for the pacecar to set us off, then when i got to the first corner i realised the game had changed my steering ratio and switched it to the full 900 degrees lock. sorry to whoever i collided with on the exit of the first corner i was trying to get full lock to get it round the corner.
    after going to the pits to repair damage i struggled on for another lap but it is undriveable with 900 degrees lock

    like said on chat, was only matter of time. my rear was loose and on the edge every lap floating on thin margin.
    My 1st Porsche race? Seems ok cornering and great braking. But i run TC on 3-4-4 and as race went on, it got tricker every lap. Was tricky since lap 1.
    Top speed was lacking abit but im also confused about tc settings and generally setting the car.
    Race was great. Felt happy driving in such a great company.
    Bjoern at start we doing side by side that T1 - T2 and battle with Matej. Thank you guys.
    Lars, you show off! Such a wonderfull pace at front.

    very tough race and so close at the front.. great battle with Matej and Toni.. was lucky that you both battled the first laps.

    was on 52 liters.. i always start with 100% energy and adapt fuel ratio. in qualy fuel for 4 laps.

    pity you started slow again Toni, do you have speedlimiter enabled and press it when green..? happy that Matej didnt dive in first corner where he could have.

    maybe next race we can go with fuel / tyres 2x or something to simulate pit stops..

    @Stephen .. which wheel and ingame settings..?

    @Rob: maybe you can assign a button in controls/gameplay - load vehicles also in stream to show right skins...?!

    Broadcast looked fine.

    Nick and I tried to put up a show, worked sort of, but we both spun too often. Apart from that, it was ok. Matej´s advice helped to get a faster, or lets say fast enough not get passed easily. I have to miss the next round, but I am back for the real thing. Have fun and see you then.

    Thanks everyone for jumping in the test today! We got some good info ..& Ya, that was strange the cars did not load. All the other cars loaded fine as they came in ..but as you saw, once the session changed, it was all good. I wanted to ask if it was the same for the other drivers seeing the temp car or just something to do with me being in spectate mode .. ?
    Something is still not right, as I should not be seeing the "NO VEHICLE" message at the bottom when in spectate mode. This wasn't happening in the early builds while broadcasting ..

    I like the idea of 2x fuel, maybe even 3 or 4x with the race being 30 min .. I will do some tests

    Also, I'm thinking of changing the last track to something else, my first thought was Sebring.. any Ideas?

    It was a great race yesterday! A nice battle with Toni, but Lars was just too fast to catch.
    The 90min races should be great in LMU. Maybe do a 3X in Sebring, that way we get a short version of 90min race?
    Great broadcast as allways Rob!

    Thanks! ya, I think I will change to Sebring at 3X for the last round..Good call! :D

    After reporting the issues we had today on the LMU forums, the issues we are having with the broadcast software are happening to everyone.:rolleyes: . Not the end of the world as it was still manageable. Some things you don't notice until you are made aware, like the absence of car numbers on the tower & the tire icons having no color on the GT3's.
    The textures not loading (default Porsche skin) for drivers who enter after the spectator (me) is well known now. The session change fixes that.
    Some guys in the LMU forum tried mapping the "load textures" button as Lars mentioned above, but it doesn't work from spectate mode... :(
    We will have a patch before the 26 Championship starts, so maybe some of these things will be corrected, but if not, I'm fine with how it's working now for broadcasts!

    Are you using anything like 5.1 surround or 7.1 surround settings for your speakers? I had to set mine to "Stereo." to stop my sound issues .. I would get this horrible screech sound, then nothing, sometimes CrewChief would still work after but would slowly deteriorate into gravely garble lol I had 5.1 on .. after changing to stereo i have no issues ..

    Also Stephen, did you see my message about your breaks might be dragging in the last AMS2 race? This used to happen to me all the time with my old logi pedals. Dust & dirt build up, and the brakes start to drag a little, just enough where everyone flies by on the straights ..lol I got a can of air and would blow them out all the time .. In that last AMS2 race when I was following you, your brake lights were constantly flickering and coming on down the straights ..

    The replays look great in LMU, and also come across really well in the broadcast. I especially liked the night time effects at Bahrain :)

    Looking forward to the series and chose GT3s but still not sure which one to go with. I definitely felt a lack of grip at Bahrain in the Porsche but it seems thats maybe an issue in general with the GT3s. I'm going to have to find time to try all the cars at Bahrain and see which one is fastest for me..

    p.s. I tried a seat belt tensioner for the Bahrain race which I can highly recommend but it probably made me slower than usual :rolleyes:

    i have logitech g27. I cant remember exactly what i had set in game (the in game settings dont seem consistent everytime i fire up the game)
    I have set the specific game settings in the logitech controller to 360 degrees max
    in game i try to select some where around 360 degrees.
    Frustratingly sometimes when i try changing the ingame settings it doesnt have any effect when i go out on track. I end up restarting the game (which sometimes fixes it)

    I have hyperX headphones which have a button on for activating dolby surround (which i usually use). i will try disabling it next time i use the game.

    Sorry i must have missed your message about my brakes. I have a logitech G27, but i have modified the brake pedal with a truebrake (you unplug the brake potentiometer and plug into the truebrake (which also uses a potentiometer). I left foot brake so my left foot is usually hovering over the brake unless it is a long straight so i might be accidently touching it. I will make a point of monitoring it. thanks for the heads up!
