Live Races / Fortitude (2024-08-31)
Yesterday at 04:03:24 PM
Here is Fortitude, the track for today's live race, starting 20:00 UTC! The car will be @Erik Barros 's Fiat Uno (Ladder Edition), which you can get from its forum thread.

(Edit: also added FUNODEMO.RPL, a demo lap on Default in case anyone needs to sanity check the car version.)

Apologies for the lateness! If need be, we can have a quick "free practice" session at 20:00 UTC, right before the race. (You might want, in particular, to do a little planning on how you'll want to approach the fast sector.)

20:00 UTC is about six hours from the moment I'm posting this thread. A reminder of how that translates to some timezones:

    Brisbane 06:00
    Los Angeles 13:00
    Buenos Aires 17:00
    London 21:00
    Amsterdam 22:00

On August 31: two days before might be too close for comfort to set the date of a "main schedule" race. However, that need not stop us from running an extra race!  :) Here's where things stand right now, so you can plan accordingly:

  • For the main schedule race (the one we were talking about earlier), I propose holding it on September 7, 20:00 UTC.
  • Meanwhile, we'll have an extra race this Saturday, August 31, 20:00 UTC. Here is the race thread, with the track available for test driving!

Quote from: alanrotoi on August 23, 2024, 07:39:40 PMDo somebody want to organize August/September live race? Do you want help?

Yes, I do  :) I wanted to have posted about this earlier, as I had mentioned once or twice that I could do August, but this month has been somewhat of a mess for me when it comes to scheduling things, so I just kept being sidetracked. But here we are!

Dates

Looking at the Saturdays ahead, the obvious options are:

  • August 31 (which is still in August! Though it might be a little too close to now for an event in the "official" schedule.)
  • September 7
  • September 14

Everyone: tell us which of those dates would be okay for you, so we can pick one that's likely to work!

Time

You'll note that the above list only includes Saturdays. That's because I'd like to suggest an Europe evening time slot, and Sunday evening might be a bit of an awkward time to race. We've had several races in a row during South America morning (or early afternoon), and switching start times every now and then looks like a sensible thing to do (otherwise there's a risk of permanently locking out some unlucky timezones).

Starting at UTC 20:00, for instance, would give us:

  • Brisbane 06:00
  • Los Angeles 13:00
  • Buenos Aires 17:00
  • London 21:00
  • Amsterdam 22:00

(I think there will be few or no relevant DST changes between now and the end of September. Please let me know if I'm wrong about that!)

Again, please share what makes sense for you, so we can see what's likely to work. No part of the schedule is set in stone!

Cooperation

A second track for an extra race would be most welcome! The same goes for any suggestions about the event.

This is an interesting take on a slowish road track. I've found it quite enjoyable after a late start.

Quote from: alanrotoi on August 17, 2024, 03:16:40 AMHow to get roy's replay?

I tracked that one down for one of the Competition Archive updates -- found it through AkossStunts + Wayback Machine, if I remember correctly. The replay is attached below :)

The ZCT276 update, just in time before 277 ends :D Personal best ratings for Spoonboy and me this time. Here is the evolution chart:

Tokyo 2020(1) was such a strange event with the pandemic circumstances that I find it hard to compare -- I still very much enjoyed following that one, anyway!

Argentina, too, got its first gold a couple days ago, BTW! (And it was in BMX, which is perhaps the closest thing to Olympic Stunts!)
#12
With a fair bit of subtle variation across the lines, this could make for an interesting race analysis. BTW, my best trick nomination is @Zapper 's third cork!

Congratulations on the release, @Erik Barros ! The Megapack provides a snapshot of our universe of cars, and offers an easy way to try them out (if you're looking for a specific car, use the spreadsheet attached to the first post to find the pack it belongs to). Furthermore, the pack selection tooling is 100% DOS-based, which should make it usable mostly anywhere (and, in particular, on Android DOSBox setups).

Quote from: Spoonboy on July 22, 2024, 11:47:37 AMAlso, Simple Garage seems to 'park/retrieve' the selected cars quite slowly, is this normal? (Not used s.g before)

It's probably normal. I think the delay happens because Simple Garage has to (try to) move all of the 200+ cars listed in the config file out of the game folder before bringing in the selected ones.
