Good news!
I believe I’ve found and fixed the technical issues that were preventing me from running the Wednesday Night races on Server 3.
You should be able to find the BMWs running on the NC (no chicane) version of Oulton right now. Server 01 (has been running the chicane version for a day or two) will likely close shortly.

Myles just a suggestion , turn off tyre wear for this track , you will be lucky to get 6 laps out of the tyres mega heavy wear here

I reckon 5-laps are doable (I’m down to the low 70s percent) as long as you don’t spin.
If there are howls of protest in the early races, I’ll try turning it off.

Time for a step away from the Beemers for a while at least - lets try the T290s at Spielberg. Any issues, let me know and we can find something else.

Yes i am having a strange problem with RF2 , i had to quit out of the last 2 races due to my screen shivering , last time this happened a couple of months ago i ended up reloading RF2 and it was OK until last night , not sure whats causing it , its not hardware related as i can play other games no problem
RE: Wed night Fun Races (2021) - DJCruicky - 15-07-2021
Try make a video of it next time it happens. Record it with shadow play or something.
Shivering, maybe your computer is just cold

SOLVED IT , it turned out to be something really stupid , my wheel is a Thrustmaster GT and it has 2 small joysticks on it , one i had programed to look left and right , this stick did not center itself fully it was just on the cusp of actuating so my screen shivered , WD40 is wonderful stuff

I should be there tonight
.[USER=19]@deecee52[/USER] I spotted I have one of your orange McLaren skins in my skin folder, you want me to pass it over to you tonight if you driving?
RE: Wed night Fun Races (2021) - deecee52 - 21-07-2021
Another good night Myles , thank you

Nice one: the Lola is one of my favorite cars and the ols Spielberg was a big surprise for me, great track! See ya soon guys!
RE: Wed night Fun Races (2021) - Myles (Mr Fox) - 22-07-2021
Yep, a good turnout again and some good racing (albeit a bit more spread out in general than with the BMWs of late).
A couple of technical glitches - Jeff being bumped for an unclassified car (I guess a Team car - but I’ll clarify with him as several of us were using skins with standard cars no problem) - and I had a CTD mid-evening for no obvious reason during a session change over. Also had an issue with server commands not being recognised prior to the final four-car sprint.
Loads of incidents - but thankfully no fallings-out or rage-quitting as some of our newer members get to grips with how deceptive the view out of the cars and in the mirrors can be….
I think we’ll keep either the car or the track for next week and change the other. I’ll try to upload something by the weekend.

You can attach setups here. Will work as long as you .zip them up first.

"Fixed cars showing up with the team name missing when using a custom team in multiplayer via the new UI"
Wonder if this is the same problem fixed now.
Races were fun, thank you.
