ok guys I am downloading hithin will give it a shot.
Then I will also go round silverstone in the 1999 Stewart-Ford with no traction. And see if I can still get around with no TC after 2 yrs .....in about 9 hrs from now I will give u my laptimes on both circuits .

[Sandeep Banerjee]

Awesome stuff, Sean!! Wasn't it fun?

BTW, really sorry about not getting Hitchin even after such a long time. I'll get it soon.

[kodandaram]

fecking **** box of a car and fecking physics .....

Its like I am driving on rock solid hard tyres and as if there is no aerodynamic grip @ all .....but then maybe I am spoiled by the CTDP 2004 thing

Anyway got a 1.25.2 and I was pushing it a bit ....made a few mistakes. Thing is I did only 40 odd laps ...and spent most of the time spinning around like crazy ... I have not driven without TC for 2 years
.

There is **** load of time to gain if I can get used to this no TC thing . Anotehr 1 sec is easy to gain ...just need more time to get adjusted to no TC.

PS : I am on dialup and sorry guys I can't DL 80 MB of hitchen track . I guess I will do only the CTDP 2004 1.1 and this otehr competetion.

I have no wheel, i'm planning on getting one.

It's impossible without steering assistence with a keyboard.

You're either turning or you're not.
Same with TCS.

I've learnt to minimise spinning by letting off on the exit and accelorating in a straight line, best you can do with a keyboard.

[Mox]

Remember that CDTP04 and RH04 have very different properties compared to the original game.

It's impossible to compare times between people using diffenrt mods.

[kodandaram]

hey ! I am sorry - but are you guys stil on RH04 or have u shifted CTDP 04 ?

I have moved over to CTDP 2004 v1.1 ....no disrespect to RH and his team but CTDP version feels much better. Are you all on RH 2004 ?

its possible using keyboard with no assistence.
but dont set zero to speed sensitive.
set lower steering sensitive.
not fun but still fun play with keyboard.


with steeringwheel.. set everything OFF. TC maybe Low or High
speed sensitive set 0.

I loaded up CTDP04 once or twice, and it felt like I was playing GP4 again... it was terrible. The RH04 physics seemed quite superior. I haven't given it another chance ever since, but maybe I will sometime.

[SpyderGTF1]

where i can find CDTP04 ?

[Sandeep Banerjee]

UPDATE

Managed a 1.24.779 today in the Stewart at Silverstone. Seems adding a lot of rebound helps this car a lot in most of the critical corners. Didn't really expect that to be the case though.

[SeanValen]

I'm currently really enjoying the Malaysia track Sepang
2004 season

My best time is from memory, 1:34.7 something.

Some of the corners I'm enjoying much more then ever, you feel so committed through some of them, confidence boost it gives you.

Did my best time yesterday, was right on the edge of adhesion, the ragged edge, probabley lost some time as well.

[Sandeep Banerjee]

Which 2004 mod are you using?

[kodandaram]

Guys are we all on RH 2004 ?
can we pls confirm this ? If so I will install RH 2004 again ....and we can do a meaningful compariion . By the way I just got 256 kbps ADSL .... I would like to go online soon ...anyone creating the atlasf1.com game ?

if nobody will ....then I will do it ...

game name : Atlasf1.com 2004 RH
password : SLOWPOKE (all caps)

at around 11.30 AM GMT .

pls join in ... but my connection speed might not be the best I guess ....

Might of missed 11:30am GMT

Will check the servers out anyway.

[kodandaram]

Guys lets all get together on this weekend (sunday pls ?) and have a qualy + short race - 20 laps . What do you say ?

I suggest that we use the following -

Stock settings using
RH 2004 v1.4 carset
RH 2004 v1.3b updated to v1.4 Trackset

both available @ www.emacf1.com


we can have TC and Shifting assistance allowed. No other assists .

I am ready to race at any track - but I have to say that these are my favourites in the RH track pack v1.4 - Spa , Sepang , China , Imola , germany ...but I am open to racing anywhere . But lets decide the track soon - in a coupld of days so that we can practice ..since I think it is best we have only qualy and race on the weekend

I think we will be able to have 5 or 6 guys from here maybe more ?


Lets call the server AtlasF1 {Trackname} and password will be SLOWPOKE (all caps)
Let the guy with the fastest server host the game ....

So who has the best connection here ?
I have a 256kbps ADSL connection ...

So what do you guys think ?

[SeanValen]

For some reason, I can never host, don't know why.

I'll like the track to be Sepang, I have been practicing there, it's a cool track, and never really raced there with other cars.



Gonna be tough finding a time for everyone to get on, what time are you on, and work that out for my london gmt greenwich time etc? I might be more available on Sunday then Saturday.


Assists, traction control yes, shifting yes, also you need clutch assistence, i've always had that on, plus you need invincability assist on, it's too hard to play without it, we normally have that on in the past, I don't want races over on the first lap, because a wing came off, the acceleration of these cars make it difficult to race close and adapt, because everyone normally has been doing testing, yet hardly any race, so following a car around a lap is pretty difficult while trying to be close, it's takes alot of practice, it's more of a race between lap times and who makes less mistakes, that's challenging enough, everyone might have a different view of breaking points, at least if someone fluffs up, they can carry on, or let someone go ahead because they know they caused the touch etc, it's all for fun, rather
then sit the race out, as your wing has come off.

[ScottL]

Hmm. I just built a new PC. I may be able to fetch the (hopefully saved) RH2004 download from my old box but I'm not sure.

Meantime, I see that rsdg.net has been having problems? Even though the front page says that the site is back, the downloads link doesn't lead anywhere. IIRC, I obtained RH2004, LeMans, and SportsCars updates from BitTorrent.

Anybody have any pointers to best download sites, assuming I can't recover from my old system?

[kodandaram]

@ Scott - you can find them all at www.emacf1.com ..but you need to have a gamespy Id since it downloads from fileplanet IIRc . So register @ fileplanet/gamespy first and then download from this site ....it will open a new window when you click on the file and you will see the fileplanet servers . In case you don't see them it means you have not logged in - in which case click on the top left/right corner where there is the login box - login and proceed to select a server to download.

- @ Sean - you are absolutely right mate ! Sepang rocks - the new RHv1.4 physics make it a joy to driver around Sepang in a well hooked up car . I am thinking of a Sunday race @ 10.00AM GMt ....@ Sepang - with the settigns I posted before . What do you guys think ? I am already off to practicising @ Sepang !

[kodandaram]

Guys let me just remind you - tomorrow- sunday is the race day ...the race has been preponed to 10.30 am GMT . I will log on and hopefully see someone hosting the game but if no-one does it then I will create a new game . As usual -

Game name - RH2004 Atlasf1
password - SLOWPOKE (all caps)

Track - mostly Sepang ...although we can change it if required later on tomorrow
I suggest we have a 6 lap qualy session and then a race for 20 laps .
Traction control , Clutch assistance , Shifting assistance are allowed - I have not decided about invulnerability ..but it might be needed if the connection is slow as I expect ... . No other assists pls.

Hope to see at least 3 or 4 guys from here . and if possible someone with a fast upload speed pls host the above game . ...because I have an ADSL and not DSL line .

[SeanValen]

SOrry for the late reponse, 10:30am, I'm asleep normally at this time and was today.

Sorry about that, wasn't on the pc yesterday to reply faster.


I'm a night person, how late can you play tonight.

[kodandaram]

well nobody showed up today ....after waiting for half an hour I went around like the track sweeper imainging what a good race we could have had.

Anyway ....the weekend is over and I am sorry to say that until next weekend I am not having enough time to play F1C....sorry maybe we can race next sunday @ night .....or early morning in my case ..

It is difficult arranging a time, 10:30am was too early, I never had a race that early. Try again another time.

[weiteck]

I got the message an hour late, but looked for the session anyway. Gone by then, obviously. I hardly ever drive the 2004 cars, and never had at Sepang, so it would have been interesting. I completed some practice there instead anyhow.

Until the next race sometime, do some hotlapping, and tell me your fastest time at sepang 2004 season.

Mine is a 1:34.7 something.

[kodandaram]

Well I ran a few laps in the 2004 cars @ Sepang. I tried the Ferrari , McLaren , Williams and also Renault. ....much to my surprise the best time I managed was with the Renault - 1 .34.297 IIRC and it didn't feel fast. But of course the car was stable . So I think I might do some work with it and lets see when we can hook up again.

Well yesterday I was doing the weekend sessions in the FW26. I was setting flat 1'32" laps in practice and managed a 1'31"6 in one lap qualifying. I was two tenths up on my inlap too. The race was atrocious, though; I'm more than a little rusty.

Bloody hell!!!!! 1:31.6 jesus, wow,

If we have a race, you'll be running away with it Jim Clark, Schumacher style
And time to save the engine and breakes for later.

Jesus!!!!!!!!

Alonso got pole in the Renault in 2003 I think, 2004, not sure of renault at sepang, but it's suited to the track, I might try it out.

Hey guys I have been simming for quite a long time now with GP3/4, F1C, RH03 and now RH04. Have a logitech momo racing wheel/pedals. (edit - fixed setup problem)

Has anyone else experienced a strange problem with custom tracks where the physics can get screwed up? This is going from memory but there is a cache type file for each track that sometimes gets corrupted or something. I have this problem usually on Adelaide or Bathurst and grip is reduced to wet levels and you can see a water trail behind you when racing in the dry : The easy fix is to delete this cache file and let it be recreated but just wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

Other than that, I can't get enough of F1C and usually do a 1/2 or full race distance in the week leading up to the GP

PS, anyone know of any new pc F1 games in development? EA lost the rights to F1 correct? Are Ralph and his crew going to do RH05 or are we likely to see 05 season on PC anywhere soonish?

Thanks hopefully see you online sometime!!

[kamix]

To sv and others .. haven't seen a server up lately but I'm keen for some rh04 sepang action before the race! Anyone up for it?

Also, does anyone have any good links to laptime/replay websites? Mainly looking for Melbourne and Monaco times Not coming up with much on google.

Cheers.

Edit - btw my hotlap atm at Monaco is a 1:14.7, any good?

That's a very good time for MONACO, very good.


What timezone, country you in, I'll like to have a race.

[kodandaram]

Guys the new CTDP 2004 with the 1.1 patch is simply mega .... pls try it out ...and if interested pls let me know if we can have a CTDP 2004 online race .

[kamix]

koda I am downloading the full 1.1 installer now but its freaking hard to read all these german sites to know which files I need



SV I'm in Oz so GMT+9:30.

That monaco lap was an absolute stormer for me.. massenet, casino and mirabeau are where I made all the time but for some reason the hotlap didn't save

[kodandaram]

@ Kamix -

cool ...all you need are -

1. the CTDP conversion pack (only if you don't have the CTDP 2003 pack)
2. The CTDP 2004 mod v1.0 basic pack
3. The CTDP 2004 track pack v1.0
4. The Hungaroring AI fix .
5 . The CTDP 2004 expansion pack v1.0
6. The CTDP 2004 patch v1.1

I am trying to do some hotlapping in the Sauber C23 and so far I have got it down to 1.32.3xx with super rate physics and extra tyre sampling. I reckon there is another 1 to 1.5 secs with good setup maybe ..in a Ferrari F2004 ..

[kamix]

Ahh I found the english version

http://racingmag.gam.../ctdp/index.php

Tried it out.. physics are completely different Would take me a long time to relearn so I'm going to stick mainly with RH for now.

Had a mess around in RH04 on Sepang for a 1:34.3 but I'm sure I could hit the 32s with a bit of work as I drop a fair bit of time in curves 4,5 and 8

I'm having problems mastering Piratella on Imola. Can anyone who's figured that corner out post some tips? Do you dab the brakes or just lift? What kind of line do you take on the turn in?

[Sandeep Banerjee]

No braking, just lift a little about 2 seconds before you think you really should and mash the gas as you go onto the exit kerb.

[Corners]

Also try keeping your foot flat down on the accelerator but feather the brake pedal at the same time going in, this also excellent for steadying the car through the rise to stay on the right side of the track. That whole section right through to aqua minerale can be done on full throttle just feathering and dipping the brake pedal.
