BTW is this x2 Tire and Fuel or normal? Title: Re: Season 7 - Round 4 - Martinsville Oval Post by: rip|buzinator on April 29, 2010, 01:40:28 PM x2 for both
;) Title: Re: Season 7 - Round 4 - Martinsville Oval Post by: rip|mrkavanagh on April 29, 2010, 02:17:57 PM You do realize how many laps can be done in 50 minutes?
Sprint cup record is 19.306 sec. (98.084 mph) I am guessing the race winner will end up doing between 115-125 laps I will change my guess once I turn a few laps, lol :P Title: Re: Season 7 - Round 4 - Martinsville Oval Post by: rip|buzinator on April 29, 2010, 02:26:36 PM I sure do realize it. That's why we have to set it up as a timed race, the server only supports up to 100 if going by laps.
;D Title: Re: Season 7 - Round 4 - Martinsville Oval Post by: rip|mrkavanagh on April 29, 2010, 02:43:35 PM I sure do realize it. That's why we have to set it up as a timed race, the server only supports up to 100 if going by laps. ;D oh I didn't know that. Title: Re: Season 7 - Round 4 - Martinsville Oval Post by: Ezeon on May 01, 2010, 11:44:08 AM anybody else getting incompatible version error when trying to join hotlaps server?
Title: Re: Season 7 - Round 4 - Martinsville Oval Post by: rip|buzinator on May 01, 2010, 02:46:53 PM a version error? Intriguing.
There hasn't been a new patch out in the last couple days has there? Title: Re: Season 7 - Round 4 - Martinsville Oval Post by: rip|buzinator on May 01, 2010, 02:54:26 PM Server is running v1.2.1.2/2 ... seems to be current.
Which of course turns the focus onto the track...Don't think I will have any time to test until tomorrow unfortunately. Title: Re: Season 7 - Round 4 - Martinsville Oval Post by: Ezeon on May 01, 2010, 03:58:30 PM thats fine buz, i should have clarified, the error says the i don't have the track installed, but i do, weird.
Title: Re: Season 7 - Round 4 - Martinsville Oval Post by: rip|mrkavanagh on May 01, 2010, 08:02:56 PM buz here is the error message. I installed the track right before loading the game to make sure I the current version
see attachment Title: Re: Season 7 - Round 4 - Martinsville Oval Post by: rip|mrkavanagh on May 01, 2010, 10:02:27 PM anybody having any luck with a setup for this track? I ran a race with the AI at 98% and started getting lapped after 10 minutes...:(
Title: Re: Season 7 - Round 4 - Martinsville Oval Post by: rip|ChITty on May 01, 2010, 10:38:42 PM I'm getting the same incompatible track error. Works SP though.
Title: Re: Season 7 - Round 4 - Martinsville Oval Post by: bpbriles on May 02, 2010, 05:04:02 AM Yeah, I am getting same track error. SP works as well for me.
My setup won't help. I am running 18th-20th @ 98% AI. Can't get a lap under 17sec without light fuel tank. >:( Title: Re: Season 7 - Round 4 - Martinsville Oval Post by: rip|mrkavanagh on May 02, 2010, 08:14:24 AM Yeah, I am getting same track error. SP works as well for me. My setup won't help. I am running 18th-20th @ 98% AI. Can't get a lap under 17sec without light fuel tank. >:( Yeah same here. This one is going to take some serious pit strat. Right side tires start falling off after 10 minutes if you start with a full tank. Title: Re: Season 7 - Round 4 - Martinsville Oval Post by: rip|buzinator on May 02, 2010, 08:39:25 AM Ok, I believe it was suffering from the same issue that Sliverstone79 had.
Please save the attached GDB file to the Martinsville track folder (should prompt to overwrite the original) ... and give it another shot at joining the server... Title: Re: Season 7 - Round 4 - Martinsville Oval Post by: rip|ChITty on May 03, 2010, 12:29:09 AM Current Hot Lap Standings:
ChITty - 16.744 Buz - 17.080 EZ - 17.274 Bretware - 17.354 Mr Kav - 17.498 Bpbriles - 17.673 Title: Re: Season 7 - Round 4 - Martinsville Oval Post by: rip|mrkavanagh on May 03, 2010, 06:55:12 AM 16.744 ??? ??? Holy Shit!!!
Title: Re: Season 7 - Round 4 - Martinsville Oval Post by: rip|mrkavanagh on May 04, 2010, 05:55:42 PM what is the AI going to be set at? i looked at the rules on the whoopass page and cant find anything.
I have raced them several times at 98% and OMG!!! Title: Re: Season 7 - Round 4 - Martinsville Oval Post by: rip|buzinator on May 04, 2010, 06:23:49 PM It varies from track to track. I'm thinking no higher than 96 myself. Will see how it goes once we have ballast and fuel etc.
Title: Re: Season 7 - Round 4 - Martinsville Oval Post by: rip|mrkavanagh on May 05, 2010, 06:20:07 AM thanks
Title: Re: Season 7 - Round 4 - Martinsville Oval Post by: rip|mrkavanagh on May 05, 2010, 04:27:44 PM unfortunately even after thorough planning and testing I will not be able to make tonights race :(

I think we were a mixture of 1 and two stoppers. Title: Re: Season 7 - Round 4 - Martinsville Oval Post by: bpbriles on May 06, 2010, 09:30:01 AM Great job everybody. I hope the next oval is not as frustrating for me, had a great time none the less!
Congrats Bretware!! ;) Title: Re: Season 7 - Round 4 - Martinsville Oval Post by: Ezeon on May 06, 2010, 10:47:27 AM :) Another happy podium for me, some great racing all around really, aside from ai mishaps
Dicing it up with Chitty and Buz was a blast, then trying to stay ahead of Buz at the end was tough because i did not take tires for my second stop.

Title: Re: Season 7 - Round 4 - Martinsville Oval Post by: rip|Bretware on May 10, 2010, 01:49:25 PM Fun track, non stop action, loved it, the car was extremely good in traffic I just wish my fellow humans were alittle more competitive. Hopefully we can run here again sometime with more equal cars, anyone else think that maybe we should cut the weight in half at ovals.
I noticed everyone gave me a ton of room, I'm not sure if that was because my car was fast or because of what happened at round 3. I thank everyone, but it may have been too much, just holding your line is enough, no need to slow down or go way off line. On to Monaco, I have never run good there, should be interesting. Title: Re: Season 7 - Round 4 - Martinsville Oval Post by: rip|buzinator on May 10, 2010, 01:52:22 PM Can only speak for myself ... I haven't had blue flags all that often (thankfully!) so it was kind of a special occasion, lol.
Title: Re: Season 7 - Round 4 - Martinsville Oval Post by: bpbriles on May 10, 2010, 02:19:33 PM I was giving everyone "lots" of room because I was "so" off the pace. By lap 40 they just handed me a blue flag on my way past the stand. :(

I've got an idea to fix that... how bout no more ovals? |
