Rules:
There are 2 + 1 stages.

Stage 1 - Fog race
Skid Vicious time: 7:15.85


Stage 2 - Night race
Skid Vicious time: 7:46.80


Stage 3 - Day race
Skid Vicious time: 6:38.75


Every race will last 12 minutes. You have to finish your lap as fast as you can. Since the event will be broadcasted we can check fast if the rules are fulfilled and also if your game stops at the 10th minute we can see the point you stoppped (it shouldn't happen because the tracks aren't that long and it's shared a week before the race to have time to make all the test laps you want).
You have to share your replay by uploading it to the forum as usual. If you couldn't end the lap at *time the last frame of your lap will be taken from the broadcast as your official location.

*it could be because you lost much time using RH or if you couldn't finish the track before 10 minutes.

If all pipsqueaks finishes before 12 minutes we can step forward the next stage to save time. We can do the chekings at the end if we lack of time.

There will be Stage winners and a Rally winner. Furthermore, a Jump master for every stage and for the Rally.
The winner is who did the fastest lap and/or who was closer to the finish line. (everybody will finish but just in case )

The cars: we'll use Hummer H1, Lada Niva 4x4 and Land Rover Defender 90. One different car per stage. So you for example you choose Hummer for Fog race, then in the Night race you race with Lada or Land Rover and in the last race you have to use the one you didn't use yet. You'll find a night race, a fog race and a normal race versions of every car of the pack.


Allowed
- use Replay Handling
- You must choose a different car per stage between Hummer H1, Lada Niva and Land Rover. Since at the end everybody will race with all three cars it would be nice if most of us choose different cars for the same track.


Forbidden
- to change the camera (forbidden to press F2, F3, F4, D, C, etc.). We'll broadcast the rally so it will be easy to check if everything is ok. So, for the sake of immersion, please keep the normal F1 view with the modified dashboard.


Track explanation:

It's almost impossible to crash so almost the only reason to go back and re-drive would be if you got out of the road or turn a corner faster, that kind of things. The track has some elements but it won't have slaloms, loops or corkscrew up/down to avoid crashes. Furthermore, you won't find "sudden" corners, in order to make a fluent drive and focus on the main objetive to drive "at night" and "in fog". Luckily, you'll need to use RH only few times.

Our beloved opponent Skid Vicious tested the tracks with Hummer H1. I'm pretty sure we will do it faster in average than him.

Night & Fog dashboards
The Night race dashboard and the fog race dashboard are modifications of the car dashboard to simulate those enviroments and the only ilumination are the car lights. We can race at night and in fog!
These dashboards makes the ride a bit more difficult because of the vision is limited to car lights. The rest of the screen you can watch the track and the desert but in dark colors. Also signs like the "piano" can't be seen without the car lights. You won't find obscure elements that you can't see them comming. The fog dashboard takes all the colors to grey scale. The grass and the paved road has the same grey color so the only way to know where is the road is following the road lines which are black instead of yellow.

Hello my friends,

I have two questions:

1. Is it OWOOT or Free?
2. Is it server or local game?

Yours, Alain il Professore.

[alanrotoi]

Free rules. It will be a normal race, everybody at home .

[Victor Narl]

- to change the camera (forbidden to press F2, F3, F4, D, C, etc.).

How will you check the camera switching of participants without a server?

[alanrotoi]

We will broadcast the race so we'll check it  live. We had some broadcasted races before. We join in a link and our dosbox window will be shared. @Erik Barros will be on charge of that part as usual. Just like the last race we'll meet in the chatroom: https://forum.stunts.hu/chat/

Count me in.... I've got tons of things in my head and I don't want to forget to feel free to ping me in Telegram all you can! 

[alanrotoi]

Great! So we are 5 pipsqueaks for now!

[Erik Barros]

Great!! I'll be at the race and we'll be live streaming it on the community's YouTube channel.

We've already done three broadcasts.

I will create a room on vdo.ninja (which is a web application for meetings, conferences, and remote streaming), I will generate a link that participants need to open in a tab (preferably in a browser with the Chromium engine), and ask them to stream the DOSBox tab. I will capture the result of the stream using OBS Studio. If you want to access the vdo.ninja website to understand how it works, it's very simple and a great solution for streaming.

[Duplode]

I'm in too! Might as well announce my car choice:

Fog: Defender (purple)
Night: Hummer (purple)
Day: Niva (purple)

[Victor Narl]

I'll comment on the "Night" filter. I really didn't like that the red and white curb looked uniform and indistinguishable from the highway - it's unrealistic, this can't happen on a normal night. Overall, it feels like it's not Stunts anymore (or not quite Stunts), but some other game.

[alanrotoi]

It's fun to race like this. Due to the increased difficulty I suggest to race in easy tracks like those I built for the event. The key is the immersion, so you have to chose a specific horizon, a more or less predictable route and not so many stunts to avoid constant crashes. Also you don't have to fear of the dark I'll add suggestions and tips for these kind of mods which should come with certain type of tracks to exploit the experience at max.

[Erik Barros]

See you on tomorrow's broadcast.
