Streetfight [MR] servers

I am not a big fan of fixed setups. What feels good to one driver can feel awful to someone else. To be fair, I did have one good race this afternoon on the 911GT3 Cup server (with a driver called Grenade Magnet). Ironic really, when you consider that my own nickname could be Bullet Magnet

 

Well, Mathieu's setups are splitting the community.
He likes a looser setup/car that some don't like.

 

Since the ABC mino rating server with the "GT3" Cup Porsche is almost always full now, ( how surprising an ABC GT3/vanilla track server almost full ) how about having the exact same combo on the other server but limited to A mino rating.
Not much to loose since that server with street cars has been empty for days.
On the subject of all having all the same set up, where ever that set up come from, I am for it.

 

One could say it is very far from GT3 cars and among other Porsche Cup servers it is very hard to find one with assists off.
As for two same servers with different MR grades, i was thinking about it when street cars racing was a thing and went against it simply because there was a big pool of regulars who were all A.
Original lineup of Street Fight servers lost their audience for now so i might rethink about one AB and one CN cup server.

 

I agree, I did not mean to say that the CUP drives like a GT3, but I think that for many, they see GT3 cup and that is enough to be more attractive.

 

There are a lot of GT3 servers with alphabet rating allowed. I'd like to see a server with Caterhams and other open top cars
I missed my opportunity to drive this W/E though
(can never leave C rating)

 

I just did few races on the streetfight middleweight server, and I believe majority of people have problems to handle the heavy powerful cars on street tyres.
My impression could be wrong, but I kinda noticed people joining in, doing some laps, spinning off few times, and leave again.
Maybe SM tyres would make more people stay longer?

 

That is entirely different grid than this one. Alfa(HR) and Maserati(ST) would not fit any more on open choice tyres.
And so far when ever i've set open tyres to anything other than Heavyweight there were riots to restrict to ST.
So it will be Heavyweight on HR & SM or Middleweight on ST.
Would some of you like current Middleweight server to be changed to a higher tier of cars on SM tyres?

 

fair enough, nobody wants a riot, better let them have their street tyres then

 

I think that it is less about any lack of ability to handle certain cars, and more about a general lack of care and respect that causes the vast majority of problems. If everyone just thought a bit more.....observed blue flag rules, looked in their mirrors, careful rejoins after spins, less aggression at race starts, no crazy dive bombing at corners for cheap position gains, keeping out of the way of others on outlaps during qualifying....the standard of online racing across the board would improve dramatically.

 

Not gonna happen

 

And then you woke up and realized it was just dream.

 

I'm not too keen on fixed setup either, I'm all for offering a setup for the current combo but I think my sets would sometimes be disliked by many (I often get 1 star rating on the setup market ).

A good idea I think would be to have the option to have a default baseline setup (alternative to the default setup, with correct-ish tyre pressures at the very least) suited to the current track, offered by the server. Not possible at the moment of course but I think it would be beneficial for most, without being over restrictive. Maybe an idea for AC2!

 

I like the middleweight server and have had some good races on it lately with the Alfa Giulia which is the right sort of porker on street tyres. If anything, generally the cars are too high performance. I'd be up for a server of underpowered, under-tyred ****boxes with no aids. But that's just me. There are plenty enough GT3s for everyone who wants them it seems.

 

From what I could see, the SF servers hardly had any traffic whatsoever over the weekend I had to visit a Highlands Long server (out of desperation, as I am not a fan of racing such a fast track with hardly any runoff areas), and yesterday I visited a BMW M235i R @ Laguna Seca server (which was much better, and I had several good races). My visits to the Highlands Long server were an almost total disaster. I couldn't seem to concentrate for long enough to be consistent, some of the sessions were extremely dark (not good in a simulator where headlights do not cast any light), and the aforementioned lack of space either side of the track resulted in single spins transforming into the apocalypse The "30 minutes Practice, 60 minutes Qualifying, 4 laps race" format didn't exactly help matters. The only reason I was there at all is because there were no other options; a somewhat depressing state of affairs.

 

It works only if someone is willing to sit on the empty server for hours and entertain early joiners.
Feels like i wasted too much time on that and sitting on empty server part takes longer each time.
I will no longer renew SF servers subscription as it feels like a waste at the moment.
Was fun while it lasted and it was bigger than i ever hoped for.
Thanks to everyone who raced with us on SF servers and hope to meet you around.
Cheers lads.

 

That is a great shame, but I understand how you feel, Gunja. The SF servers renewed my enthusiasm for online racing at a time when almost nothing else was available.....and it will probably vanish just as quickly when they are gone

 

Can you please switch the Street-Server on Mugello for a few days ?
I think Imola is not so popular.
Merci

 

Changed to Mugello until it expires on the 8th.
