can you tell me, what Pitgroup 16 is???
what is reason for make pitgroup? that there will be no other driver in you pit? and how do this work?
never did read somewhere something about pitgroup.

servus

You have your own pit.

sorry kevin for another question,

but i have forgot what times you have in your league,

8PM racestart i do read,

is this 1 hour behind germany time, so 9.pm in germany,

so same time as english, UK you use in your league?

servus

We start at 8pm (GMT+2).
It should be same time.
We are the same as Paris.

I am using an nVidia GT430...1gig and mine is running at +-200fps on Windows 7-- 64.
Turn opponent level down to low.
I run my graphics on Med.

Christo and I just tried again and we both getting good frame rates.

Unfortunately my engine burns However my radiator size 4- options ,
I do not understand Ok my friends no problem , see you the next race.
Anyway, congratulations to the podium, and everyone who finished the race

SEE YOU THE NEXT RACE.

CHEERS.

The engine only has so much life. If you down-shift to quick and up-shift late, the engine runs out. Same as real life engine.
You have to look after the engine.

Ok Kevin thanks the infos. Ok no problem see you the next race Anyway, very good the shadowracing RSA community , very like

Well that was highly enjoyable for me, I'm loving this Ferrari! The feedback and feel on the car feels so good. Very happy with my pace considering my first race ever on this track and next to no practise with the new car. Didn't have any major FPS issues, stayed pretty stable throughout so that's a good thing. Well done to Reinhard fantastic pace from you, and the podium also so well driven, great tight racing to watch! Had such a great battle with Dirkie - thank you for that -till I ended up turning my car into a steak-griller! Very keen on the next race, this should be a brilliant series. Thank you to the shadow team for a great race and the effort involved in providing these cars for us.

Yes dude , I really enjoyed the race , but we hope you will be luckier the next race 'll be there , soon to meet again in the next race

I had a very enjoyable race and would like to thank everyone who was involved in skinning my car, making the cars, & the series.
Also to Ryan who shared his setup with me which pointed me in the right direction.

Unfortunately I'm unable to race for several weeks now as I'm off to Canada for my annual holiday. Hoping to make this Sat night at Sochi though.
Have fun!

Crazy Pete

Some great racing last night!
A big thank you to all the new drivers who behaved so well and it was a pleasure to have you with us.

A word about the engine.......The engine on these cars has a limited life and you CANNOT thrash them the way most cars in this sim are driven. Down-shift too quick or up-shift too late and BOOM...engine catches fire after a while. Real cars do the same. Keep in mind that you have to drive the car thinking about engine life all the time.
As for frame loss....it seems it's the mirrors causing this.
My game:

Mirrors on = 50fps
Mirrors off = 180fps

There are 2 different mirror sizes in the mod download, use the one that suits you. I will check again today if I can find a proper fix.

All in all, a great evening and thank you once again.
See you at Sebring next week.

I too had ok race but some reason my FFB not work with these car now. I try all setting in game to adjust FFB and also in wheel profiler. Nothing make it better. In end I drive with -100% FFB just to get feeling of corner. Was very hard to keep pace with front guys.
Very much thank you for lap guys who drive clean and make space
FPS problem also mit mirror on - 39 on - 180 off

All in all a very enjoyable race last night. Thanks everyone and I look forward to the next one.
The pace of the top guys is incredible though.. Very fast! I'll be fighting hard for some top 5 finishes here..

I was not so sure about the Viper initially, but really got into the swing of it last night.. I drove from pretty much the back of the field after an incident on lap 1 to get a result I'm happy with, and had some good dices along the way. Peter and Erick, pity about that McLaren engine failure - we were heading for a good scrap towards the end.

Thanks Kevin and Christo for the efforts you've put into this!

Dereck have you also tried adjusting the Real-Feel? You can do this by pressing [CTRL]+[NUM7] -INCREASE FFB and [CTRL]+[NUM9] -DECREASE FFB. I had to do this to get the car to feel right.
Please see this link for a more detailed description: http://www.racedepartment.com/threads/issues-with-realfeel-and-gsc.91196/

thank you Alistair... I did try all you say but not get any change mit that setting.
I even try in Realfeel plugin file to change. It was TRUE, I make FALSE, then try to drive but no change, then change back to TRUE and again no change.
Before when we drive in testing I not get this problems, car was good. I do Reiza race in Singapore and no problem also. I not change anything till now and get to track and find problem mit FFB. I very confused
Even I try CTRL-NUM8 to on/off but no change.
In end I make FFB in controls to maximum -100%. Little bit improve but very dead...no feeling.
I will play mit profiler of wheel. Maybe this car now want other setting
Thank you Alistair for advice you try to help... Dank U Wel

Ok Dereck, no problem! I also had no problems with the Reiza cars. I'm not an expert, I know very little compared to the other guys here. All I know is that the EEC cars do not feel good until I make the changes with RealFeel CTRL7+9. If I change FFB Strength to -100% or lower it makes not much difference. You can try set "SpeechEnabled=True" then it will talk to you and tell you when you are changing the RealFeel. Hopefully some of the guys will help you in more detail, I'm sorry I can't help any more!

Thank you for that... I not aware of SpeechEnabled
I will try that
