    Exactly. Well, it would actually overwrite the original file over and over but refuse to install it. If you watched in Explorer while it downloaded you would see the size drop from full size down to 0k and then go up as it downloaded, then it would fail to install, rinse and repeat.

    Is it just me or is the plugin delay gone? I'm seeing no delay on the pedal overlay plugin.

    Noel and Hexa, good point about the packages.

    Noel, in every ISI engine based sim going as far back to even GT Legends, and maybe even earlier, you can adjust how long it will try to connect to a server. It was an extruciatingly long wait if you typed in the wrong password (or, in GTL, the wrong online account user-name/password), but all you have to do is lower the number in your player file (in the multiplayer section). I lowered it down to 7 seconds; I think the default was 20 or 30 seconds - brutal!

    Confirmed for the Plugin delay: Gone, my BKG2 and DashMerterPro turned ON in less than a second, perfect! :)

    Ha... I never even noticed that setting. I probably wouldn't have associated it with a bad password even if I had. It isn't like it isn't in contact with the server. So you wouldn't expect it to timeout this way. If I ever do any racing in rF1 again I will adjust that setting.

    Updated by update tab in the launcher, no problem, perfect.

    I ran the IA on Sao Paulo and Croft and all working well, and the good surprise, now we have a good ambient light when driving in cockpit with clouds and rain. Good feeling on the ambient lights for me, now it's a pleasure to drive under the rain :)

    Good job, tomorrow, I check the Server and online to check if all is OK.

    It seems to be fixed. I've 2 passworded servers running on the same machine and both are OK. Vmod download worked like a charm...
    But, i'll have to wait until next week to confirm. When everybody logged in on the server.


    BTW: I've created a Vmod with the new track Sao-Paulo. When i uninstall the Vmod, the track is uninstalled as well.

    I have no problem at all with fanaleds and the new build. I use version 2.2H and everything works except i have to activate rumble on upshift to get the rumble feature working when the tires lockup.

    This really is one hell of an update. Thanks ISI! :)

    BTW my spotter only gives out lap time information, each time I cross the finish line.
    Didn't the earlier spotter call out "car inside", "car outside" etc.? I never used it much, but I swear I heard something like this once upon a time?

    I don't know if you have to implement it into the track or car mod, but i get it on all the oval tracks and i also got it with some F1 3rd party mod (which i can't remember).

    I get this only at ovals. Otherwise spotter screams in my head everytime I complete lap.
    Even at 40% he is unbearable.

    But is he ever enthusiastic, even when I'm lapping 10 seconds slower than the AI! Not since I was 5 years old has someone been so happy about a "good try".
