Is anyone else having problems refreshing the server list in rfactor JOIN menu?

I couldn't all day, my connection is fine.

FSONE latest update version 1.8

http://www.rfactorcentral.com/detail.cfm?ID=FSONE%202006

Dont upgrade yet, few of us should test it.

Think of it as a mid-season revision of the car....
But lets wait for the green light

Acid....i follow this link and cleansed my pedal...it worked...and install dxtweak2 too...

We will know shortly. No worries.

Acid..theres no race this week.... Check the calendar.

What do you guys use for telemetry? I've tried installing Motec and some others but find it very confusing. Nothing new seemed to have appeared in the rfactor menus. Ctrl M seems to kick in data acquisition but where is that data and how to look at it???

I need something easy to install and easy to use that doesn't require quitting rFactor to look at the data.

Q: Why does my engine keeps blowing up, without warning, when I use boost. How do I make my engines last the whole race? Does damage multiplier setting in servers cause this problem?

A: Well first off we don't call our game boost. We just use it as an RPM changer. Your engine could die without warning for a number of reasons. Engine RPM changer, say setting 10 usually will not last the whole race. This is run at about 20500 RPM (v1.8), and is subjected to be pushing your engine to the maximum limit. This also depends on the track. We have found that engine RPM changer set at 10 lasted the whole race on monza, but on belgium only engine RPM changer set on 8 lasted the whole race. This also depends on the driving style, gear ratios, engine brake map (5 default) and server damage multiplier setting. For leagues and server administrator, you should set your servers damage multiplier accordenly to match race length.

For example:

Races set on 100 percent Length should use Damage multiplier 0%
Races set on 75 percent Length should use Damage multiplier 25%
Races set on 50 percent Length should use Damage multiplier 50%
Races set on 25 percent Length should use Damage multiplier 75%

and so on. So making your engine last with the correct server setting, takes nothing more then practicing full race before hand. Drive Conservative at times, and push your rpm changer to near the max when you need to. Remember to time things.

For example:

I find that i can drive a whole race with only engine rpm changer (boost) set on 8. So during the race when no one is around me or on safety laps, i tend to drive with boost 1-5. When I'm in battle and need extra speed i go over the edge a bit and use boost 9 - 10 for couple laps then go back to my safe zone, boost 8. This just one planning way of going about things. Use your imagination.

Acid...of course it affects wear n tear...try damage 0 offline, no tyre wear and consistent lap times all around!

About the damage percentage, it only applies to 1.8.

BoostEffects=(200.05, 0.0300, 0.80)  // RPM increase per setting, fuel increase (1%) per setting, engine wear rate (101.5%) per setting
LifetimeEngineRPM=(17725, 340)  // (base engine speed for lifetime, range where lifetime is halved)
LifetimeAvg=14400  // average lifetime in seconds
LifetimeVar=2940  // lifetime random variance

BoostEffects=(200.05, 0.0300, 0.80)  // RPM increase per setting, fuel increase (1%) per setting, engine wear rate (101.5%) per setting
LifetimeEngineRPM=(17725, 340)  // (base engine speed for lifetime, range where lifetime is halved)
LifetimeAvg=14400  // average lifetime in seconds
LifetimeVar=2940  // lifetime random variance

I didn't use boost, cos no more button to assign to my momo for the boost
I tried offline practice, but didn't feel any different.

downloaded n install oredi. confused on how to using it.

Edison, take a look at their forum.

Last night many drivers joining through relay, i think their PC ok and dont have problem running rfactor.

For Vista user, they have to turn off the UAC.

This is the screen shot when open relay + rF


If cpu uage reach 100%, pc will lagging.

hmm... system spec and rFactor config screenshot please.
