    Had some problems this evening trying to get the rf2rank site to list a correct laptime. Thought I'd have a go at the Howston challenge coz what could be more fun than that thing at Monaco...XD

    But my Brianza lap wouldn't show up. I'd done a decent lap but it would never turn up, all it would list is a real slow time, which I set just farting round once. I looked in the career.blt file and searched for Brianza, and I found 3 listings for Brianza with that model of Howston MkIIIB 69. I deleted the one last in the file, and reuploaded, the laptime changed to one that was a bit quicker, but was still not the right lap. Then deleted the next lowest one in the file and finally it showed the correct laptime.

    Any ideas why it was not taking the fastest lap in the file?

    Thanks Minibull, I'll have a look at it over the weekend. Can you post the corresponding TRACKSTAT entries here?

    Thanks, Uwe

    ZolderGP and Blackwood have been added to rF2 Rank. I had no idea that this LFS track was available for rf2, took me all of 2 laps to get back into the groove again... wow, I feel *old*. ;)

    Enjoy the ranks, Uwe

    I think it's a single car release. Give me a minute to confirm...

    Yep, single car with different skins. Mod is called SCES or something.

    Thanks, I'd rather not add the car with such a generic class name atm, I posted in the release thread and they're considering changing the name to something more descriptive with the next update.

    I'm thinking of creating a sticky post in the mods forum about some sensible guidelines for people to follow when naming their cars and tracks. I mean they spend endless hours fiddling with the smallest details of their fantastic creations, only to slap a 3 letter class name onto their vehicle or not properly naming their track layouts in GDB sections or calling them "MONZA" or whatever ;)

    Cheers, Uwe

    Go for it Uwe, but bear in mind that (example) BMW Z4 is still better than "BMWZ4GT36.8L90°V8" :-D

    I agree, I'm fine with "BMW Z4" or even better "MCMG BMW Z4" (my cool modding group) ;)

    Hi folks,

    please stand by while we're trying to solve some database issues... the site may work on a hit'n-miss basis for a while.

    Thanks for your patience, Uwe

    Hi there, we just found that the Beta rank is very hard to update nowadays. One time is FR3.5 at "Portugal GP FR 3.5" (PORTUGAL_F35) but the Portugal tracks now are named Portugal GP course and Portugal GT course (PORTUGAL_GP and PORTUGAL_GT). Either we need to install an old track version or the rank needs some refreshing :)

    Agreed, I think it's time to overhaul the beta rank and come up with something new using also the new cars and the new circuits that have appeared in the meanwhile. I'm open to suggestions!

    Uwe

    EDIT: I've now changed the track to Portugal_GP for the time being.

    Hi Uwe,

    Having a look at the Historics F1/2/3 there seems to be some duplicate entries in the selection list of the cars.
    For example there are :-

    Historics / Spark_F1
    Historics / Spark_F3

    as well as
    ISI Historics F1 / Spark F1
    ISI Historics F3 / Spark F3

    and

    ISI Historics F3 / EVE F3
    ISI Historics F3 / EVE_F3

    Now it might be my lack of understand of the back end, but not sure why these what would appear to be identical cars, have various entries?

    Thanks for the great work again, promoting it in my league at R2P.

    Cheers

    Nick

    Hello everyone. I noticed that the time saved on the server as well come from single player sessions and multiplayer sessions. Multiplayer sessions that are based on mods that modifis grip or other things. It therefore impossible to reproduce theses times without mods. Even if players do not use AIDS in solo sessions, their record on multiplayer sessions will be saved in ranking.
