AC Multiclass Abarth500/Mazda MX5@Road Atlanta, Wed 22nd November 2023

[HF2000]

Welcome to the RD Racing Club.

You have chosen Road Atlanta for Track of the Month. Of course we're doing the full lay-out.

SITUATIONAL AWARENESS is essential for clean and respectful driving in our community. You should therefore use tools like Helicorsa or CarRadar and CrewChief. The links for these apps are on the bottom of this post.

DISCORD. It's important that you also join us during the event on Discord for additional information and instructions. Link is below.

Sign up:
Go to https://acsm.racedepartment.com/championship/939eccef-a6f6-4f28-8a1b-8376e37a8fcd?server=0 using the Emperor account you have been given and register with your steamID.

If you don't have an Emperor account yet, ask for one by posting in this thread (only for premium members).

Especially the new and inexperienced drivers are recommended to participate. There are a lot of learning opportunities but without the intensity and stress of the GT3/4 cars or the endurance multiclass cars. It's also good step up for those kind of events.

Excited for this one

Han, not sure if you were having the GT5 and mx5 be competitors, but I'm an easy 2s slower (down to the .000) in the mx5 after 14 laps than I am in the GT5 after only 4 laps (having never driven it before now). No times up yet for the FWD cars, maybe the back straight lends itself to them and they'll be as quick.

Thanks,

We need some more testing I guess. I will remove the Ginetta for now.

I HATE THIS **** !!

 

[stigs2cousin]

(and before you ask, yes, I tried every way I know to install the track, manually and with CM)

That´s the one you linked:

Why do you see it with a different name?

 

[stigs2cousin]

Why do you?

The last update according to John R was 08.12.23.

So if you downloaded the track before that date...

Ok. To be sure I will download the track again and upload it to Emperor and restart the server.

EDIT: Done. Can you try again please?

 

[HF2000]

Why do you?

Because I was looking in the content.
This shows the track list for single:

 

[stigs2cousin]

Jepp, that´s exactly the view I showed further up.

The track linked shows up as "ROAD ATLANTA V1.5 FINAL", but has the warning sign and doesn´t install.

I´ll try the server later, thanks for now.

 

[stigs2cousin]

I got it to run ( with an older version, NOT V1.5!! from the ownload link)

Does anybody know how to kill this agravating "ambient " noise??

Just sitting in the pit makes my ears hurt, on track noise levels vary, worst under the "Fox Bridge" It´s alittle less painfull with the Suzuki, which on the other hand dies of its low top speed.

(For your understanding:

I have Master Sound Level at 3, Surfaces off and Engine/Gearbox level at 5.

Headphones aren´t a cheap gaming set either.

 

[Alfred Wayne]

CPS Settings -> Track adjustments -> Audio
You can lower or turn it to zero. Removes extra track sounds

 

[Boukâh]

Same thing here, too much environment

EDIT: Thanks Robert, setting works!

 

[HF2000]

Maybe trying something with these setting in the in game app?

@HF2000 Han can you check bop settings on the practice server? Some have some don’t (mx5)

 

[stigs2cousin]

So the turbo cheat was not enough, now you have to hobble the competition with a restrictor??

((yes, I´m a little bit cranky tonight)

Oops! Apparently when I removed the Ginetta the BOP settings went over to the replacement cars. It should be OK now!
