    Guys, check out OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) for doing the capture. It is free and highly active. It supports NVEnc (shadow play), CUDA (AMD), QuickSync (Intel) and x264 (software encoding). It can capture h264 right to a file or if you have live broadcasting enabled on your YouTube channel you can broadcast your run live. When your broadcast is done YouTube will save it like any other video. It will also broadcast to Twitch and all the other major broadcasting sites.

    I've used that and have purchased dxtory. Each one can produce a great offline video, but YouTube butchers it. The fact that others get great results seems to indicate rendering issues. Maybe I'll try less frames in addition to what I mentioned above.

    I'm sure we'll get into the 1:27's soon. I'm going to give it a serious go tomorrow. :)

    Just gave it a go, 100 stock default and tuning options. This car can bite if you don't blip it good on the downshifts, and can be sensitive on turn-in with the rear (depending on your inputs). It's planted from them on though.

    Do we have to have a pic or video? I just did 28.145...

    P.S. What's everyone going on about steering lock? Just set it to "vehicle set" so that everyone uses the exact same steering ratio, and it's the same for everyone.

    Aaaaaand Mr. Spinelli goes straight to the top of the time sheets with a impressive 1:28:145.
    Nicely driven, man. :)


    Nah, videos and pics are just the icing on the cake, to increase the bragging rights lol. :)

    As long as no one touches anything in the "Garage" and don't use any other aids than auto clutch, anything goes.

    The weather setting will be geyed out when you set it to clear, all you have to do after that is tick the humidity box up one click then bring it back down click and voila now you can change real-road preset to light rubbered

    What are the cutting rules, I may have "illegally" cut 2 corners, however the game didn't call any cut and therefore the lap still counted. Are these following 2 scenarios considered illegal?

    Thanks for posting that. But man, I dunno....
    I mean, it's impossible to police each and every lap.
    Lol I might even have cut a corner like that in my fastest attempt. I just don't know tbh.

    I have to say: if the sim doesn't think it's a cut, then it's not a cut.
    If the lap's valid, it's valid.

    Otherwise this becomes way too complicated I think.
    I'd have to sit around like some referee calling "in!" "out!" etc. lol ;)
    I'd become very popular I'm sure...... :p:rolleyes:

    I had laps discounted because I took a corner too tight, so there is some sort of limit.
    But the track limits are very wide on this particular track I guess...

    Hmm. Any thoughts on this? :confused:

    Yes there are some limits, the game will discount certain things.

    And obviously people shouldn't go through any pylons or cut through the grass hahaha, even if the game doesn't happen to discount it.

    If you're ok with my video above then the lap is 1:27.026.

    If you change your mind and want to stick to a rule where either 2, 3, or 4 tyres must always been within the white lines (and of course pylons and grass, lol) then I'm sure everyone will be honest, it's just for fun afterall :)

    I think two tyres rule would be fine to consider it clean..

    Alright I think we will go with a rule that states 'two tires must be within the white lines at all times'.
    Then we will just trust those who doesn't have the opportunity to post a video of their time. Like you said, it's all just for fun anyways.

    So Spinelli, your fastest lap was the one you posted a video of, right? Asking about cutting? I guess that lap falls for the two tire rule then. I'll have to have a look at my own fastest lap too, I suspect I may have cut somewhere. :D

    Edit: no wait, your 1:28:1xx was clean right? The 1:27:xxx was the one where all four wheels left the track? :)

    CUDA is Nvidia tech. :p

    For AMD GCN GPU (HD7000 series and newer) you can use the VCE branch of OBS https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/obs-fork-branch-with-amd-vce-support.13996/

    Ya the 28.1 was totally clean, 27.0 was the one in the video I posted with the cutting.
