Project Cars Stoopid Challenges

[mark7389]

Well I think it's a terrible idea. There's the potential for the not so good people (myself included) to really hate it and to post some really bad times, which impacts some of the graphs on the website and those terrible times will skew the boost calculation.

That said, I'd like to think this is a democracy so we can have a quick vote on it.

Option a) Nurburgring (invalid lap check on)

Option b) Nurburgring (invalid lap check off)

Option c) Anything but the Nurburgring

I'll tally the votes at 8pm tonight :-)

[mark7389]

I'm a c) by the way

[mark7389]

Right there's a race up, website a bit screwed, hopefully once a lap goes in it'll sort itself out. Can someone check that pclapupdater has a tick to show car and track match

Couldn't find rouen on my list and can't edit without my pc, so chose Brno

Check your e-mail Mark I sent you an excel file with all the cars and tracks the other night...oh wait, your PC is up the spout isn't it...

Yup, can't get at the code of the website until I get my pc back.

So can you log a lap?

[mark7389]

Ok, website sorted out, car name changed and new boost calculation applied. Should be good to go :-)

[mark7389]

I've started a league system so we should be able to handle some more players if anyone new is tempted to join

[mark7389]

I'm starting to post on some other websites to try and get a few more active players. I've done the project cars official forum but nothing, nada.....

I'm on motorsport gamers on FB, are you linking back to here for signup?

I stuck it on 2 forums

But not a flicker of interest, marketing's obviously not my thing. Maybe you could post a supportive reply and that might kick-start them????

[mark7389]

Sorry about that, sensible car next I promise.

No joy on getting extra players, so if anyone knows anyone that might like to join point them my way :-)

[mark7389]

I quite like it in a masochistic kind of way

[mark7389]

Just to let everyone know all 6 races for the championship are open. You should see a drop down list of them all when you're in PCLapUpdater. The last 5 races are 1 week duration only and will start closing as each week passes but you're more than welcome to do any/all of them.

Cheers
Mark

[mark7389]

Well done Derwin on winning the last race, your handicap has been adjusted accordingly ;-)

Next race is Monza in an Aston Martin Vantage and is 1 week duration only

[mark7389]

I think I could do that, we could have a "Am I coasting?" graph. I guess basically if your acceleration and brake is 0 then you're coasting?

[mark7389]

Coasting graph is up. I went for if throttle and brake are 0 then draw that on the graph. Because people can be using both pedals simultaneously it's not as simple as 1 for acceleration and -1 for braking because they might be 1 for acceleration whilst also pressing the brake at 0.6, and which one do you show in that scenario?

Anyway, think the graph is fine, looking at the last race it shows I am coasting a hell of a lot more than Born2BSlow, which is one of the many reasons I'm bloody miles behind him

[mark7389]

For the avid drivers amongst you I am using Twitter as a notification system so that you can see when someone has logged a new fastest lap without having to constantly check the website.

Just follow @pcstoopid on Twitter

Some good combos, managed to have a blast tonight. I've set some times, have fun chasing them guys...

I noticed, the Twitter account went into a born2bslow monologue

Oopsie...

Would secret squirrel mode be better? Or was it because I kept improving so every other lap was a pb?

Secret Squirrel mode wouldn't have changed it, it worked exactly as it was meant to, just a bit unusual in that you set 20 pbs within about an hour :-)

Haven't had a chance to get on :-(

I will try in the evening but half of the time I can't be bothered.

That's the spirit ;-)

Some problem with the lap updater this afternoon.

Did quite a few laps but it only sent the 1st one, & none of the others, didn't realise until after ....so went back on again...same problem again. I entered my fastest lap manually, but then noticed it had sent through some data. Not sure what is going on so deleted times and re-entered fastest lap manually.!!!!

Anyway, its now showing my fastest lap correctly at 1.52.116

Edited by Steve Campbell on Tuesday 11th April 14:40

If this happens again have a look at the pclapupdater lap list. If it has sent the lap correctly there should be a green tick or circle (can't remember which) and if it fails there's a red circle. If you hover over the red circle it should tell you why it failed to send, it may be that you had turned on an invalid aid. Or it could just be that my broadband is playing up, I'm currently 70 miles from home so can't really tell.
