Teams:
2 drivers per team
Vehicle choice is open

There is a teams championship as well, so grab a team mate and register your team on the points site.

Crossing The Finish Line.
When crossing the finish line, crashing your car is not acceptable, nor is any Voice Comms chat untill the last person has finished.
Driver's are still racing, and racing for position, and it is unfair to disrupt their racing.
Pull over off the track and Esc.. or drive back to the pits.

Discord/Voice Comms.
There will be NO talking on Discord during qualifying.
Race/Qualifying chat is to be kept to a minimum, and if nessarary keep it minimal and session related only.
People are racing and don't need to here about your day, or a long chat regarding an incident.
There will be plenty of time after qualifying/racing to talk.

League Starts 31st January 2017.

Invisible Vehicles?
Some drivers had an issue with vehicles being invisible after joining the server (Their car also invisible to others)
To fix this issue navigate to your rFactor2/UserData/Log/ folder and delete both the CBash and Shaders folders.

These folders need to be re-created when rejoining the server, which will take a while.

Riven has setup a server running Bathurst 2015, search for KSR Test in the server list.
Track list and format will be finalised over the next few weeks.

hi just try getting on line it said bad file description have been on before no problem
can any body help cheers

Snap with Len. Getting the bad descriptor error as well.

Was working earlier today

rFactor 2 was updated earlier today, may have something to do with it if the server and client are on different versions.

Edit: Just checked, and I'm getting the same error. (My rF2 is updated). I see Bull and Growler are on, question to you two: Did you already have the track installed?

OK, found a fix.

As posted by AOD_chimpyman on Steam forums:

Ok got a fix, go to your rf2 folder (in Steam>steamapps>common>rFactor 2) and delete all the files with the name package. there are like 12 of them. then make an empty folder and name it Packages. This fix worked for 3 of my friends and myself. Hope it works for all of you!

The update was supposed to fix this, but I guess it glitched up. Before trying this, see if verifying game files on Steam works to fix it.

Is there anymore news on this like signup times days etc would b keen 2 dust the old clubby v2 off and skid some cars

We're just finalizing the track list, and format.

Ok sweet sounds good

Any hints on how to install mod / track?

Just got rF2. Default car / tracks work OK.

Clicked on "Subscribe" to GT3 mod in Steam Workshop, can select GT3 cars in game but game hangs with texture errors when trying to go to race.

Not sure what to do with track file. Have found rFactor 2 folder inside /steam/steamapps/common but folder structure is different to rF1. First few google links aren't very useful.

Once you have subscribed to the mod you then have to restart rF2 so it can sync and install the mod.
Any track or mod you download, put it in the "packages" folder in steamapps. Then start rF2 and using the console click on the packages icon (open box) find the mod/track and install.

Not sure why you're having texture issues sorry.

If you've subscribed and got the mod, tracks will download as you join the server. Otherwise yes, any mod/track that has been downloaded as a .rfcmp file, you put into the packages folder and install through the launcher as Rifty said.

Are the texture issues on Single and Multi? Any error messages etc?

First time it does take a while to load in as it unpacks all the textures etc for the cars, track etc

Might jump on the server later tonight if anyone is around...

Yup Ill be on

Package Not Available error message with the current track

Some people are having an issue, and we don't know why to be honest. Most who connect are fine and everything downloads.

Matt helped a few get sorted last night.

Bull wrote:I managed to work around the guys that had the issue by sending them the MAS file from the rFM folder, running single player and selecting the series, then reloading the server and then it would work.

I'll be getting the final track list and format ready tonight for Riven to setup on the server. Once that is done everyone will need to connect and try again.

I will post when the server is setup.

If you jump on tonight Yoda let me know - ill be hanging around on Discord (What we use instead of Teamspeak now, cant remember when you last joined us! lol) so just come grab me. At worst Ill just be shooting hookers on GTA

Details posted, and server updated and ready.
I have connected and the new package downloads and installs fine

It would be wise for everyone to check you can connect sooner than later.

Server Password?

Show-off.

I might jump on later tonight for some more practice if anyone wants to join up...

Anyone interested in jumping on altogether one night and having a few quick fun races before the league kicks off?
