The London Allstar

Swindy are you going to add some tyres / larger raised infield or barrier or something to stop people cutting the bends and infielding because all i can see happening in the free leagues / wreckups is the idiots who cant hit properly just infielding.

Oh dear cabs! lol Happy bday mate, see you tomorow

Is that "Sphering" not called "Zorbing"?

I thought running two seperate GN's was a good thing as it gave me (and others?) a chance to actually get a race in, through all of the other races if i didnt end up facing the wrong direction more than twice i had a good race (which didnt happen!) Thought it was a great track and enjoyed practicing on it, just a shame that the racing i thought wasnt very enjoyable but thats how it goes. Well done to Hutch for winning the main race and Jimmy for taking the meeting final

Cheers Job Done

Ok Johno cheers, il get the old banger notepad out and make a new page

aaahhhh so thats who's mk3 tina piccies i was flicking through!

Yeah i joined the forum when i first came acrros 'online racing', i Tried TNB first to see if i liked it and it just stuck as the nights that the UKDirt leagues I wanted to participate in were on nights that i couldnt get online and therefore i decided to stick with TNB. But this year i decided to join up and give it a go.

Sorry Drumb i didnt state it in my posts, I was'nt trying to get the format changed for tonight but as soemthing to be considered for future meetings as Johno's first post asked for our thoughts on the meeting. This is also my season in UKDirt and as a result i have never posted in the "ideas" thread at the end of a season due to not racing at the time which meant it had nothing to do with me. Can always save it for this year though hehe

I've chosen my "I know The Score" outcomes but i cant seem to find where i need to click to join the group? Any help

Dont take my post wrong, I am sure the racing is better over a two day event and i would love to be able to race it, it's just a shame that for some we have to miss the the cahmpionship through no choice of our own after paying to race the season. But you are right, there are more championship meetings run over a single day so it's not a huge loss. It just seems a shame to run it this way when it can be done so that everyone has the fair oppourtinuty to race. I also see what Lee is saying, running one consolation race with mayby the winner or the top 2/3 going through, i think that it might be something to consider as it removes all of the problems of people not being abl to race a wednesday. If you thought about it like this, keep the format the same with the set number taken from the national points chart, and the set nubmer from wednesdays qualifying with the winner of the last chance on a thursday (possibly excluding those who failed to qualify on wednesday if there are enough cars) to even it up. That way everyone who couldnt race on a wednesday has a chance to get into the race and i know for one i would feel alot better even if i didnt qualify as a result because it would have been my own fault for not winning the race rather than not taking part by not having the option too. Anyway thats just my thoughts You do a great job so on the whole i cant complain

These two meeting formats sound good fun and im sure they are, but for the people like me who can only race on a thursday or a wednesday and not both then it does make it very dull. Tonight for instance is the European, but i cannot qualify for it because i am unable to race on a wednesday night, it doesent seem very fair. As a suggestion, mayby make the qualifying for the 'title' race on the same night as the title so those who can only commit to one night can still be included. Im saying this on the assumption there is no way for those who didnt race last night to qualify for tonight, as i havent seen it written anywhere that it will be possible.

Very cool ernie! Good luck sibbs

Why do you think he was banned from the forum or so long... on second thoughts it was ncie and peaceful.

ok thats because your not joining the right channel, not sure if im allowed to say the channel name on the public forum?

Once you have downloaded it, run it.. then when irc has loaded and you have clicked continue o nthe little german man you need to click the lightning bolt underneath "file" and it should connect.

Yes lee

Happy birthday!

MoR i have had a quick play tonight, and have found what seems to be a 'hole' in the track. Where the startes bo is on the home straight, jsut before the start line painted on the track, if you ride very close to or along the wall the car seems to fall slightly then 'bounce' back up as if it has hit a ledge. I also noticed this on the other side of the track by the pit gate. It's not a huge problem, I only noticed it as i tend to get very close to or slightly slide along the wall on a hot lap and using bonnet cam the 'bounce' is slightly anoying. I have made a video which shows what i mean more clearly NIR_Hole.zip

Tinman has sent me a folder containing files for NIR which once extracted into the main NIR locations folder fixed the problem, which means my game is now working! Might be worth talking to him MoR, i think he got the files from H33 Either way, it has fixed both mine and Tinmans problem

Thats awsome! Alot of time spent for good reason as the end result is stunning

no worries, we all know MoR works hard when you look at the standard of the stuff he makes

I installed the fix to the main NIR folder to start with, after that didnt work i tried the files in the NIR folder inside the main one to no avail also I did read that part in MoR's post and do accept that it's a matter of patients, but seeing as the fix could possibly have worked i thought i'd give it a try. I just hope it does get sorted on monday as currently i only have a hedno tar setup as i have been making setups as the meetings have come along so dont have a birmingham one currently. I might try and make one for brum to use thursday just incase

The fix and the renaming of the file hasnt worked for me, im still getting the same error

Ok, i updated my ATI drivers up to the latest patch released in july 08 and ran the game on the settings i usually use with no joy. Ive changed the DX level's (7,8,9) Changed the screen resolutions (16 + 32bit) wit hthe different types of DX Changed all my graphics settings to run the lowest possible with all the different DX levels Tried running rfactor with VSync turned on and off (off is what i usually use) Tried running the game in a window with all the different DX levels. Tried using the "Auto" dx level. Tried all 3 'Anti Aliasing' levels and "none" which was defualt didnt work either I cant think of anything else i can try
