0:00.00 Lap times during cup challanges
« on: November 03, 2008, 09:31:36 pm »
When running cup challanges (single player) about 1/4 - 1/3 of the field will show 0:00.00 lap times. (Wow! Those guys are fast) Sometimes I will get 0 also. Some of the field shows normal times and some show --:--.--. Sometimes I get a blank time.

This really stinks on a 5 lap challange when I am running good times and starting at the back. It makes it a little tough to win a challange when in Professional level. I love racing on line, but on Sunday nights, there are few if any people on. And it would be fun to work through the Challanges.

This is on stock tracks with add on cars.

One time I reinstalled the GTL patch and it seemed to clear up. But it is happening again.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

perhaps its the add-on cars mate - have you tried with just a fresh install of GTL without the carpacks?  I found with the carpacks the challenges were cocked up because too many of one type of car would enter - sometimes you would start at the back of the grid where there was no grid spot and get DQ'ed.....  of course depending on how many AI you are running.......

 Haven't gotten past the first one myself. LOL. I should try again soon. As I've mentioned elsewhere, I have 2 installs of GTL, one stripped down with only the SJ carpack and accepted mods added (No extra tracks at the moment as I haven't been available for SJ events lately but will add them as needed.) and one listed as GTL_Mods.exe for everything else.

I thought it might be the add on cars. I think I will do a stock only install for the Cup Challanges. They are good practice when there is no one else on line.

Thanks!

Azza, I see you are from Dunedin. That's a great town. I have a house in Christchurch. My wife and I are probably moving back to NZ next year. I am in a bad time zone (California) for SJ. Hopefully I can race with you guys some day....

look forward to it - the OSJ leagues are always great fun.  And yes Dunedin is a great city - except when it is snowing in November like it is today.....

I did the second install with only the stock cars. It looks good so far. I have done the first two races.

One fault ive noticed is that some addon tracks actually register the laptime to some default or other wrong track so it messes the GTL rank times.. then i get a nice email from Kristof that a laptime was removed.. and lose the old time too.. grr..

(reason why i have quit using the ranks pretty much)

Yeah, unfortunatly GTL is a real pain in the a*** when it comes to this  :grrr:
Two tips for those who want to use GTLrank:
- enable extra stats (set it to "1")
- use Autosim Analyzer to correct your career.blt file
