Green Hell Trackday & MultiClassics Server

Yeap, that worked, cheers

Track surface feels like a bit of a mess in that version though... Sometimes completely smooth and other times feels like driving on a washboard. It's also quite poorly optimized, so the fps is atrocious for me, compared to the later version. Oh well, at least it works now.

 

Yes, the new version is a massive improvement.

I think LilSki gave Rafa some great tips to increase performance with it.

 

I completely missed this thread. If you run classic cars events, I'm all for it ! I wish I could show up as often as possible.
Thank you for organizing !

 

I have the Racing Legends server running (currently with 72D and 312T), but since I have it running under the hood of AC-SF, I make the announcements in the Streetfight thread.

I plan to return the MultiClassics endurance events in the autumn, maybe I can get more people into it then.

 

Since Tajo seems to be buggy as well (was is it with these tracks … ), back to Nordschleife for the moment being.

I will have a look at some tracks suitable for trackdays and then maybe we'll try again next week.

 

Tajo is pay to play online now AFAIK you have to buy the additional version to use the new build online (which makes it fairly useless for MP IMO)

 

Minimum price though is 0,50€.

 

Well then yeah, won't feature this track anymore.

Not that I refuse to pay, but it just sucks to require everyone to donate for that track especially because it really isn't obvious that you have to pay to be able to use it in this case.
The game just crashes (and btw does some ugly FFB stuff before doing so!) without any further hint.

 

Im in the same boat. It's up to the creator what they do but even if they charge 0.0001 it will drastically reduce the amount of users that own it I imagine.

 

It would be ok with me if it were a different track.

Right now it's misleading because it is not clear that there are 2 different versions.
If I want to join a server and AC is telling me that I have this track and I checked that I have the latest version, then it should work. And not just crash.
If he wants to have a separate, incompatible payware version, I'm not against that. Might even pay for it. But it should have a different track name, so it's clear that it's only for those that have the paid track.

Apart from that, the game crashes for me in SP mode as well when I try the new version.
Anyway, I gave up on this track, even if it was nice. Will look for some other nice cruising tracks.

 

Sucks for the online crashes, I dont get crashes offline though, make sure you're using the right mode if you're running AI cars. Its a shame it would have been a killer AB track to cruise on, maybe we can make Rafa change his mind?

 

Yes, maybe allowing at least the 8 pit version in the free release would be a good idea.

 

I was trying practice mode, thus without any AI. Also it did show to me in the AI launcher that it has 8 pits.

 

Weird, worth posting in the RD support forum I guess. I dont have any issues but I have the donaters version, and you should too Especially with @Schnipp traffic mod, its quite entertaining.

 

V1.0 has 8 pits.
V1.1 (since then it's payware) the public/free one only has 1 pit spot.

 

I downloaded the track on Monday or Tuesday, so I'm pretty sure I've got the newest version, since there wasn't an update since then. That's also why I set it to 8 pits.

@Mathieu Labbé: in principle I don't have a problem with paying for stuff. (Hey, I'm paying for these two servers anyway …)
But to be honest, I'm so annoyed with all those payware mod stuff spawning here and there that I'm almost close to "I won't touch any of them, leave me alone".
As I'm looking into mods mostly to run them on the server (really don't have enough time for anything else, tbh) and since payware mods don't make sense on a server, I tend to stay away from them.
It's ok if it's just a graphics update (it was like that for some mod, can't remember which one though) and the payware version just looks better, but otherwise is the same as the free version.
If it's incompatible to the free version, I can't run it on the server and that's it then.

I just crossed Tajo off my list, not sure if I will still follow it's further development.

Edit: apart from that it's very much of a gray area since AC's TOS do not permit payware mods afaik.

 

Agreed, its becoming a trend, and I dont know where I stand on that subject TBH. But I also agree that mods nowadays dont compare to mods 5-10 years ago since they take so much more time to do, both in graphical and physics work. I mean, RSS cars are simply faboulously detailed and I can see why they charge (quite a lot) for them. But hey, thats a debate that could last days, so I'll stop the off-topic

 

Should I tell you then that the newest version has 4 pits now?
OK, 4 pits is still very low.

Edit: Well, at least I got a mail for the updated version, but I guess it will be updated on RD soon.

 

8 is the absolute lower limit. 4 is also what Trento has and for that very reason I've never set it up online.

Actually I don't really want to use anything that has less than 12 pits. Also don't get what the big deal is here.
It should be very easy to fit even 24 pits on everyone of these tracks. Just have to extend the start section a bit.

 

On an on topic note, does anyone have a suggestion how to get this superb server more pobulated?
