Sunny.

says the bunny

(sry couldn't resist)

started practice yesterday, and I still looove the track even though last season I had a black screen and hit a poster that turned out to be virtual concrete and killed my Doran; the season before I encountered the dreaded pit bug, where you go into pits but nothing happens and you try next lap and next lap and next lap until you are left, free of all petrol and all worries somewhere at km 2.7

It can only get better this year. Feels strange, my last tracktime in STC ever.

Good 2 see your racing Eckhart

is there some 1 to take your spot in the commentary box?

anyway best of luck and enjoy your race

Daniel Rodrigues · Nov 30, 2011

We have a problem around here: any time we try to join the STC server and when choosing our car, we get a minidump before the preview of the car appears.
Does anyone knows if we are doing something wrong?

Mikko Korkiakoski · Nov 30, 2011

Does everybody in your team have this problem?
I tried the server and got in without problems with my own car as well as with 3 others including yours.
So obviously the problem is not on the server side.

not that I know of, volunteers contact Xose and David.

Daniel Rodrigues · Nov 30, 2011

Thank you Mikko and Georgios for answering.

But, unfortunatly, I am not able to use any skins from STC... I do not understand what is happening... My team mate and I are only using the sim for this championship.
In my case, I have already participate in Road America without problems and at Sugo, but there I had to try 3 times before I could join the server... Using default skins, no problems...
Well, if I manage to run tomorrow, it will be with a another skin, what a pitty...

Mario Peixoto · Dec 1, 2011

@Daniel: I already had that problem before, in another championship. All cars which used custom skins would cause a minidump, while cars with the default skins were fine. I unninstalled every single mod, reinstalled the skins, reinstalled only that mod and the game kept crashing. The only solution was to unninstall Race 07 and install it again. It worked, maybe you can try that out. Won't take long to install again, just save your settings to some place and give it a try. Hope this helps.

As for this race, after the last race in Sugo, which was destroyed by a crazy Corvette driver who ruined my race completely (and no report about that, so no penalty...), I don't think we will have anyone on the track today.

I had this problem occasionly in the past. It is caused by custom skins, but more or less randomly. It is somehow caused by an excessive memory-usage.

Sometimes it helped when I waited a while in the car seclection skin before swapping to the skin i wanted to use.

Or another way: Select your skin in single-player offline mode so that it is already preselected later.
Than go to online-mode and see if it works.

Last solution is like you said, to not use customskins for this race.

Due i just arrived home and missed the allocations on the site by maybe one minute i write it here if nobody have something against:

why did your team decide to not hand in a report?

ufunacaoenn · Dec 1, 2011

I think that start needs a review.

Andreas Hultgren · Dec 1, 2011

What to say about this reace... well, not much to be honset.

Only made a few laps before qualy because I have had no time before. Managed 16th on the grid.

The race started good and after Tom(?) and one of the Gubbklubben juniors went off I was fighting for 15th with a COR driver. He passed me and we then played mause and cat for a while. I then tried a pass but half spun in my attemp but didn't lose much time. This 'game' went on 'till the pitstops. Then I had a pretty boring race. Lost a place in the pits to a Koöhenigggseaggisegg and when he dissapeared I had to try and hold the gap to Tom. He eventually cought me and passed me right away. Made a little mistake when he passed me as I downshifted one to much so put neutral in which didn't really slow me down as I expected. From then on I had no one to care about so just brought the car home in 18th.

Sorry to Eckhart for the little hit at the end. You cought me off guard with your braking. Totally my fault though. Thanks Andreas for the setup, it was great! And well done in the race

Grats FOR for a dominating and boring result

David going to pits I saw "RED FLAG, ONE MORE LAP". I immediately slowed down and started checking my temps and stuff and saying to guys, one more lap. Then I check the chat and see GREEN FLAG... seems David mixed up with the buttons. Stuff happens when you do stuff.
