Spike double check the server and see if the server is setup for 25 laps @ Indy. Right now the G3 common.res file is running on it, since we have this week off in multi mod series. If not, throw together a common.res file for this track, and I'll install it on the server for you... Have a great time Saturday. Of course you pick an afternoon when I can't race.  But that's cool, I run this offline from time to time. Thanks for painting me a paint way back when to go with this mod.  Dave |

Dave Server's good to go Feel free to join in the practices though, could pass along a few setup tips I'll attend the one at 7:30 for a bit. Because later on tonight I need to test out a different track and I'm hoping to get online to hit that track big time because I need to run it and do some online testing. But if you have a setup in mind just email it to me and will run the one you like. I downloaded the base setup you provided so I guess will use that for testing purposes tonight. |

That was a good practice last night ;D . DaveO shared these gears: 1st 2.50 2nd 2.10 3rd 1.50 4th 1.20 final 3.60 but if you feel your revving too much on the front straight change it to 3.55. These cars are quite a bit different to drive than other mods so take your time and practice. I'll be on the server for practice @4:30pm Saturday but if a few want to practice a bit earlier I'll jump on @ 4pm, just leave a message here . |

I'll be on the server for practice @4:30pm Saturday but if a few want to practice a bit earlier I'll jump on @ 4pm, just leave a message here . Yea, the mod is quite different. One thing I noticed last night take it real easy in the turns. It's like one rear tire spins on it's own when taken the turn. Not sure I'm explaining this right, but that feeling really threw me for a loop, you have to kinda counter steer your wheel in the turns if you take it to fast. So, imho I would really take the turns nice and slow. And do practice getting use to the cars. If you just show up without any practice you will for sure see your car doing some nice spins, and crashes. ;D There on the tough side and a challenge to drive these little open wheelers.. I myself couldn't run the in game setup, it just didn't work for my driving style. So I grabbed an old Cup setup for the heck of it. It was not much better, I would of needed more time then I had last night to fine tune a setup for this track. Sorry I didn't have more time guys.  But for something like this you would need to spend hours trying to produce a perfect setup for this track. I just didn't have that kinda time last night.. |

But for something like this you would need to spend hours trying to produce a perfect setup for this track. I just didn't have that kinda time last night.. Dave is right on, if you're not careful, you'll throw your car into a wall on the oval part. I think in the readme it wasn't designed with road courses in mind, but they are driveable. Driving these at indy last year was moderately difficult, but this is much harder. If you hit the churbs wrong, you're going to be doing a side wheelie for a few seconds too. So just take it easy, or it's going to be a long day. |

Upon checking the folder I uploaded to the mod squad & mediafire it appears I mistakenly set FOV in the gfx section of the Options.cfg file to 30. Change it to 130 or your personal preference
