Project Cars Stoopid Challenges

The speech bit comes with Microsoft .NET Framework, the only person I've found so far where they didn't have the speech was on a VM Windows 7. Just presumed it kind of came as standard.

Make sure you have UDP turned on in Project Cars, should still work without the speech. I try and avoid the kerbs, touching a kerb seems to be fatal for me.

Sent an email for this but haven't received one back...

Sorry, missed it or never got it. Can you try again, I've got emails turned on for my pistonheads profile.

I have investigated getting Windows to like the PCLapUpdater. Unfortunately involves money, lots of proving who you are etc, and did I mention money. It's kind of a good thing to stop virus production, but for a guy like me just wanting to share an application with a couple of dozen people, it doesn't make life easy. So apologies that a few of you are having to jump through hoops, but for the moment that's the best I can do :-(

I've emailed you, you're setup

Changed the website to have a userid and password. The userid is your name on the website, eg Mark H and your password is whatever you normally used to enter. There's also a remember me that 'should' keep you logged in

Had a quick go but for some reason its not saving my ghost data because its exceeded 1GB.... did a low 1.53 but thats my lot i think, car is a bit too twitchy for me.

You need to use PCLapUpdater or put it manually on the website, that'll put you in the top 4

Never mind, logging out and logging back in worked for me

Or an f5 refresh should do it

You should also see that handicaps are starting to come into play.

The intention is to try and narrow the field as far as the championship goes, but the quick guys can still get that warm fuzzy feeling of knowing they're the quickest by toggling the handicap off.

Until I get a bit more data on how quick you are these might be a bit off, but as time goes on they should get more accurate.

You can read more under the help section on the menu

There's a new PCLapUpdater to download, old one won't work any more. Had to tighten things up a bit now there's quite a few of us:-

There's now a login (same as website) so that you can't accidentally be someone else
Shorter and wider for netbook/VM users with scrollbar
Checks the car and track to see that you're in the right car at the right place. Had quite a few times where people have changed car and track and left PCLapUpdater running and it's continued sending incorrect times to the website.

UDP setting of 1 will cause project cars to send 60 udp data signals per second around your network, a setting of 9 will send 1 data signal per second. I'm guessing 1 is flooding your network with data and knacking your broadband. For pclapupdater to work we really only need setting 9, just the speedo, etc will lag. I personally have it on 5 (20 udp data signals per sec) and not had any problems.

More to the point xjay, where's your time for this round, you were 3rd in the last one :-)

Wow?!

Amazing. Next time I'm on, I'll do another lap or two and try and capture a video if it will help anyone.

b2b - cheers bud, i'll maybe try a time without ABS to see where we compare, my default setup is no aids aside from ABS lol.

I have to admit, once I got used to what felt like the overly long braking distances, and the weird way in which it handled, it's actually not a bad car, still a boat, but like one of those boats you have a nice time on.

xjay1337, I'm afraid I'm going to have to be a stickler for the rules, which admittedly I can't check unless you drop yourself in it on a messageboard ;-). Driving assists should be set to real, which means that ABS is not available for this car. I'm going to have to delete your times and you'll have to set a new one with the driving assists set to real

[mark7389]

Oooooh, and conveniently that puts me back at the top again :-)

Mark, you need to get your geek on, I'm sure the official leaderboards pick this up so it must be in the packet data exchanged with Race Central somehow...

I don't think it's in the udp data stream though, I'll have an investigate.......

[mark7389]

Bugger me, that's quick
