May as well make the shift to NGT's if that's gonna be what we're using for the first season. And I need an excuse to get my NGT rank down a bit, otherwise I'll carry on racing GT's forever.

Damn...I'm busy Tuesday.
Depending on what time, I may be able to hook up later in the evening.
Also Cap'n - GTR is for sale at Harvey Normans for $59.95.

Sorry guys,

Is there an ip that we need to join for Tuesday?

I've added IP to my sig.

Thanks Monza,
Being new to the forum I wasn't too sure.

No problem, I had to search a few threads before I found it.

Can I make one suggestion?

That folks read the Recommended Driver Behaviour Guide - especially those new to online racing and tracks that turn both ways? Sure it talks about GPL - but pretty much everything in there applies equally to GTR.

(My apologies if the headings are a bit hard to pick out - something is amiss with the formatting/CSS classes).

server has been locked to NGT cars only, and the player limit is 32

What driving position do you guys use? (zoomed in/out etc)

In the demo I'm most comfy keeping my view closer to the dash, but this blocks even the driver's side mirror in the Saleen. And I hate looking left and right

What do you all do?

Bold · Post by **Bold** » Mon May 23, 2005 5:10 pm

Ummm cant really say exactly where I put my view, but as far as mirrors go, you can turn on the virtual mirror, which puts it in the middle of the screen at the top. Maybe not as realistic, but its 1000x more useful, unless you have a Track IR or something to naturally glance around.

ah, brilliant!
And I see this mirror is also implemented in the demo. Sweet

What time is good for everyone? Around 8:30?

Skuzzlebutt · Post by **Skuzzlebutt** » Tue May 24, 2005 10:38 am

8:30 sounds good.

Monza · Post by **Monza** » Tue May 24, 2005 10:41 am

Everyone remember to connect at 56K too.

Riven · Post by **Riven** » Tue May 24, 2005 10:42 am

Server is now NGT.

Practise 1 - 45 mins
Warm-up - 5 mins
Race - 10mins

So you should get to a new track each hour.
I think you can also vote to change session or track.

The server *can* save replays, but its not set to right now. I'll have a look at the options for this when/if I get some time at work today.

Got a hot date then Bazzil? Does old MacDonald know about this?

GarethRobinson · Post by **GarethRobinson** » Tue May 24, 2005 3:26 pm

I'll probably be able to jump in. It will help me take my mind off all the essays and presentations due this week.
