HISTORX - Get Prepared

[Rasmo]

Does anyone else get CTD when trying to load Sears Point Track?

I don't get CTD, mine just crashes back to windows....

Pretty sure it is to do with file structure as mine works properly. You need to make sure that you have all of the data files inside the SearsPoint1990 folder in Locations.

So it should be as follows:
Locations / SearsPoint1990 / SearsLong, SearsShort, BKB.DDS, Sears.mas etc.

You have a different track file to what I downloaded. Mine doesn't have half of what you have.

Will have to look in to this further

That sounds like a different version to what Growler linked me to. Got a link Ras?

[Rasmo]

Hmmm, My version is Sears Point 1990, will just have a quick look.

[Rasmo]

It turns out the version I have, which I assume I downloaded from RFC, appears to be the same but it is packaged a lot differently and works

I have uploaded what I downloaded here: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?d582suj9yrdp5va

Not sure what was wrong with the other one, I had a very short look and only thing I could see was that the SearsGP.mas file wasn't included but that didn't fix it.

Legend Rasmo

I wonder if i can still play online after i have hit my cap..... really dying to try these out more..

New physics feel amazing, really feels more like you in the car and is predictable and controllable!

thanks Rasmo, will have to give this a try tomorrow, cheers

I've got to be honest and say I'm struggling to find something outside of the TransAm section which gives as much bang for buck. Sure I'm not setting the lap scorers on fire, but for me nothing really beats the joy of powersliding my way around lap after lap

Try some of the 2 lt Porsches. The back comes out but is controllable. They aren't too slow either.

The corvette and GT40 are great and can hang out sideways as well! Even the DB40 is a lot of fun.

I think track selection also helps. Kayalmi is great for these cars, even Mosport

[BK]

hmmmm... try entrying via the ip address 192.168.0.5

[DraK]

192.168.0.5 is your local IP on your PC, we won't get it. We need the external Ip

go to www.whatismyip.com

it will tell you the external ip we need to connect to

[Riftcreator]

Need to DMZ the router with your internal ip.

[Riftcreator]

I have a server up.

IP: 222.154.244.192

[DraK]

thanks for swopping track... data cap is killing me though.. will be on lots from the 7th i guess

[BK]

I'll try later today to work out the settings for my router. Need to google how my router works!

[BK]

OK I think I have worked out the router and stuff.

IP address: 118.90.31.112 or bk's historx 1.9 in the list

Password as normal.

I have accessed my server via the server list on rfactor (bk's historx 1.9) and got in.
I'll leave it running today but could someone else try and see if they can get in? The track is set to Laguna Seca GP

Edit: Thanks for the visit Hugh. Seems to be working

[Riftcreator]

Works fine mate.

[Growler]

Any server up tonight?

[BK]

IP address: 118.90.31.112
