Hmmmmm, I wonder?

I've noticed the past few nights that I haven't been able to join any Tentacle servers. I keep getting booted out of the game? I know my Abarth is still set to crazy power, maybe they have introduced a check which throws you out if you have a non-standard car in your garage.

How can I change it back - I can't remember

Well maybe not this week then, but the last time they were there they kept cashing out. And no I wasn't using the Abarth , but it is in my file.

To be honest I think it's very, very unlikely.
They would probably need a patch at the very least to do something about this, although I know very recently Simbin have found out about the cheat.

I've reinstalled GTL since installing the insane-barth so I can host the original '450' folder if needed.

This applies to you too, Ian, I know you were looking for it!

Its ok I remebered I had a backup 450 folder. Just restored it and all is okay now.

With the Super_Abarth folder I could not get in to any online servers. Now I'm fine and happily beating noobies in the mini battles in my stanadard 'Barth

Still got the insane abarth Would appreciate the original file.

Can I rename the abarth folder to something else and use both versions ?

Just change the name of the folder to whatever it is with an _original or _modified on the end and move the folder to the main GTL root folder and swap and change them back when necessary always renaming the one in the vehicles folder to the correct name.

Yeah that would be one way as FWD said..
I could edit the files, and I THINK you might be able to do it : Not sure now if i'm being honest.
I can upload the original, though.. and will do tomorrow morning!!

Hmmm...
To be honest I prefer now not to give this out, what archives you find will not be up to me
Please, if you do come across a cheat don't use it in a Public Server! (unlike Pvapour )

When I say cheat - I mean 'stupid mod'.
It only becomes a cheat when people use it to win races on public servers meaning unsuspecting racers get pvertaken by a 180mph Abarth - that's why i'd prefer no Public Servers... it does annoy

this was a couple of weeks ago IIRC (dont use GTL much at the mo, there was a very annoying idiot who wrecked a very good race, he was kicked out when trying to join the next race..... later on he entered a different server that I was in, lurking in qulifying and waiting for the race to wreck. so afetr informing everyone a getting no response to kick, I decided to get the abarth and wait for the race and proceeded to make his (& only his) life a misery (was very funny) he got very annoyed and started telling everyone I was a wrecker and a cheat which i guess was true but only against him. but seeing as the car was a 'Cheat' this seemed to get their attention more than my explanation as to what I was doing, they never even acknowledged the face that I came last and only hit one person in particular so there

always two sides to a story, wreckers pi** my off as much as they do evryone, they are just another form of bullying & I really detest bullying, they get what they deserve as would the bullys who picked on Mike a few months back if I'd been with him

anyway, that evening & my play with Tony & Diver on Monday, have been my only ventures onto GTL in 4 weeks and i'm not likely to go on it much in the future either, so dont worry Dave the GTL police will not be knocking on your door

this is also my only visit to PH in 4 weeks and it seems like I'm discussed more when I'm not here surely you have more interesting things to talk about.........

Don't think hes the only one, last night there was an abarth that was quicker than a mustang / lotus cortina etc. in a race at Zolder. He won it easily (where is the satisfaction in that?) Otherwise it was an excellent race really close and fair.
Dont know much about software but can't the devolopers include some sort of checksum to ensure all the car parameters are correct.

They are supposedly working on it now.. although if a patch IS released before GTR2 comes out I would be very surprised

That is the reason I don't want to link/promote the Abarth.. I've had a lot of my own races ruined by these sods!
