rFactor 2 Round 2 Oulton Park 60s - Sun Apr 21, 2024

This is definitely a dangerous speed.
Different speeds in the pit lane depending on the parking space, a problem before the entrance and in the middle.
It's okay if you're alone, in practice you may end up racing in the pit lane

 

Kinda like it was in the 60s.

 

Have a good race!

 

Any news on Robs situation? Things happen and we hope he and everyone else in the storm are ok.

 

bad race!
It would be nice if some of them didn't use the other competitors by leaning on them in the bends... It's always annoying when you're paying attention to the others to get taken out on the first lap !
Of course those concerned must not be on the forum...

 

@John, can't we do something to check all these problematic skins once and for all?

 

1)Get on the server some other days than race day.
2)Give better info as to what exactly is happening. Just saying " I have a problem is not helping"
3)Find who is having an issue with the paint you are trying to run and arrange a time that you two can get on and see if you can figure it out.
4)Reach out to people for help. Find the guys who have paints that dont cause problems and talk to them.
You need specifically need to reach out to Freddy Hell. He was on vacation last week and that is why he could not help you.

Just a little work from everyone and we will have it fixed.

 

Yeah one of those days, pace was not bad and it looked good for a long time, even after I got spun arround points were on the table, but when you make too much mistakes - you miss out.

Seems Ed has found a good rythm in this series, congrats again. It might be wise to try this conserving strategy too.

 

And I thought my 172sec of damage repair was a lot. Dropped me from 4th to 22nd. I should of just rode it out. It did not feel like much so I figured it would be fixed before the stop was over.

 

My input to the skins issue:
I had no problems with gmotor errors today. I saw Gilles' skin fine. Not sure about the other's - Gilles' are always recognizable(!).
What i notice last time was that, because the regions files don't seem to be active in this mod, i neglected to "reload" the skin after selecting it in the customize tab. Because of that it hadn't created a ".mas" file for the skin. These ".mas" are, i believe, the only things that work with the current version of rF2. If all you have in the skin folder for the car is a ".dds" file, it won't transfer properly.
I've also been previously made aware of some kind of problem with skins that begin with "_42". Not sure if that came into play today because, like i said, i didn't have any issues.
As to why i didn't have any issues, one thing to consider is that i went thru all the car skin folders in my "settings" folder and removed them all (except my own ".mas" file) before the race. This forced them all to load fresh. It may be that duplicate names were causing some issues, so i advise all who were having "gmotor" errors today to do the same.
Skins have been a bit too quirky in rF2 since the update that brought the "regions" files into the customize menu.

 

Replay please?

 

The gmotor issues I got were for all cars. It varied everytime (I noticed the GTO, cobra and Austin Healey there were probably more). One thing in the error did mention the WCCARBODY I think? Maybe it's duplicate materials? Or cars trying to use materials that appear in the track too? I had two cars that appeared for me as temp cars in the race session. John and Stefanos. One was custom and one was the original so I am unsure if it's a custom skin issue? Maybe it is and it's just throwing up random errors. My computer joined as spectator didn't get any gmotor errors nor temp cars.... which is odd.

 

Sold info.

 

I don't understand all these comments about skins! It didn't cause me any problems (apart from an error message, but no consequences!) I just saw that my name was mentioned in the in-game chat, and when in doubt, I used the default skin...
