ACG rFactor Server and League

[Broadsword]

I think both ideas have merit. Keeping track numbers down to aid learning is very useful, but variety is fun, so on balance I favour Propnut's plan, assuming we have access to two servers.

Thanks to Propnut and Schmuck for getting this arranged, and apologies to whoever was driving that blue Porsche that I shunted last night - I'll try to be more careful

[Propnut]

Shouldn't be a problem. The PC that I am using can handle multiple servers and rFactor is made with multiple servers in mind.

What about two servers; one which has a single track that is our "weekly" race the other with a variety of tracks and cars for practice, fun, etc. rFactor 2 allows voting to change tracks so if you log in and want a different track that is pretty easy. The Weekly track allows us to practice and on one track and get better with it.Perhaps a finishing with a Saturday race and then the track changes.

This is true for the cars also. We could do F1 one week, classic open wheelers the next, GT3, etc. And of course all of these would be available in the general server as well.

General Server: Multiple cars and tracks changeable via voting

League Server:Single track/Car type per week changing after the end of the race week.

What do you all think?

I need to get the rFactor server PC set up so others of us can get in and edit settings as well. We need to find a good balance between difficulty and fun.

Reminder, the server is called ACG and the password is 1940

That sounds like a very good solution. I'm not sure I can commit to a fixed weekly session, though. What would you think about a longer interval between league races? Two weeks maybe.

[Propnut]

Not sure if a two week set would work, depends on how much response there is. Racers might get bored with the same track for more than a week. But with the second server it would be offset with variety there.

I am, personally, ok with a two week rotation though.

UPDATE:

We now how two fRactor servers up and running, one will rotate on an agreed upon schedule while the other has a variety of cars and tracks that can be changed by vote in the server.

ACG Weekly(for now)
Password:1940

ACG Rotational
Password:1940

A very thorough guide about car settings:

This picture from that guide just kills me. A perfect explanation of ABS:

Something I should mention about that guide, it is rather old and from what I have read a great deal has changed since it was originally posted (on ISI's forum).

The author, David O'Reilly, had originally posted it for free on the ISI website but his later versions are available as a downloadable PDF for a small fee (5 Euro) via email. Here is the thread and contact information on ISI's forum:

Seems worth 5.63 USD to me.

Do we want to plan a race night for GT3 at Sebring. I think most of us have been on the server practicing I think we should have a race night. With enough laps for at least 1 pit stop for immersion. Possibly a timed race

I'm all for it. I would prefer no ai and all real players if possible.
