nice McNab...thx....i have just done something similar and it leaves me thinking that  this might be open to abuse and heres why. At the end of the session you have just posted there, it only gives one time relating to your performance....your fastest time. Thats not necessarily the video you have posted...do ya see where im comin from? on my test i ran two laps and the replay covered both of them, but i can often run 10 laps just to get that time...im not sure how large the buffer is on GAS and how many laps it would catch.....and besides, who would want to upload 10 laps worth of video just for 1 lap that counts. btw...fwiw = for what its worth.

fwiw, im on PC and will be using shadowplay to record the video. This means that the video i will post is of the actual gameplay and not a replay. I believe that the replays dont actually show a time of any sort. Does this mean they are not valid as 'proof'?..im not sure, im just going to go int TT now and check out how the replay system works there. But before that, ill add that i used to use fraps to do the same.....it just meant that i had to have fraps running all the time [to catch the fastest lap when it occurs] and then regularly delete the unwanted captures.

heh...actually someone else started it off, i just....kept chomping at the bit lol. Anyway, this is slightly different to our other one, in that we have a lot more trust with each other and no need for video proof and so on....our word really is good enoough for each other. This one is more open to the public, hence the video requirement. Eventually, by doing this, i hope to find more folk like you, gaski and so on....people whos word is good enough and racing them online is guaranteed to be as fair as is reasonably possible.

yeah yeah kinda rings a bell what ya sayin....think we should have something like, the winner of the week can choose the combo, or can nominate someone else to choose a combo.....simple enough and a way out to spread the choosing of combos [incase you win every week!] but i do like your idea of a weekend voting thingy!

as far as next combo goes not sure how to decide....can you remember how we used to do it back then gaski?

yeah new threads are good...im thinkin we are gonna need a new one after we have all agreed the rules and then start the first combo!

yeah...in TT mode you dont use your 'own' car by the looks of it...you just use a car that has all the tuning options available to use from the off. kinda level playing field ya know? and what we want i bleeve

in TT there is no upgrades menu....just tuning.....so does that render this point irrellevant?

  sorry thought everyone was aware that its broke if assists are on upgrades do not work if they are off upgrades work  http://forums.codemasters.com/discussion/comment/45541/#Comment_45541 http://steamcommunity.com/app/255220/discussions/0/38596747949754125/ ok...but if we disallow assists wont that mean a lot of folk wont be able to join in because they are not used to driving all assists off? soz im confused a lil.

sorry to say this McNab, but due to game limitations we cant use CatC on the loop 8(

not certain what ya mean by this: 3 All assists/upgrades must be kept on and recorded so that tuning is not disabled so the upgrades actually work?

ok....taken from other thread so as far as rules go i think it should be somethin like this. 1]  no wallriding 2] no cutting [even if allowed by the game] or another way of  putting it, two wheels on the black stuff at all times! 3] Times only valid with an accompanying video post, that has no music overlayed [just in game sounds] 4] Any assists you like are permitted 5] any platform can participate 6] there are no points or anything on offer...just kudos 8D 7] Attempts are only valid in TT mode so that no slipstreaming can be used from AI. This is all open to discussion chaps and chapesses and I am not in charge of this, its a community thing k? play fair is all i would ask. regarding video posting, back when we did it in grid1 if your time was well off the pace you didnt have to upload it....I only ever uploaded a video of my time if it was challenging for the fastest time and so on...however you can upload any video ya likes 8D

ok we are here, my bad ill delete the other thread if i can

white lines rule yeah.....two wheels on the black stuff at all times. as far as assists and upgrades go im not for sure, praps we need a bit more input from some others re how they would prefer to go with this option? we shoulld also start another thread...kinda hijackin this one [soz guys]

Flowa....cant use shadowplay either?

sorry RTA, you've been beaten to the punch for the moment, but you are more than welcome to join in the one that McNab is about to setup, so long as you qualify [re the video capturing.] as is anybody i guess, no matter what platform 8D

Yeah Gooner im game! as long as i get first digs as to what track if it happens on........ :p CHICAGO THE LOOP :p well of course im sure this could be done, i was however hopeful that some of these guys would take up the challenge of the cossie or skyline at algarve...but it dosent look to be the case. So gwon then doode, start a new thread, set your rules of engagement, set your track and car choice or choices and we can discuss further there yeah?

ok fair enough....but let me ask what your times are around there in your car of choice?

we could even take it one step further and do what CM cannot do and have a proper TT compo...but friendly and fair. For example.... We set out at first if tuning and setups are allowed or not. we agree the white  lines rule we post a time, capture the video and post it....without any kind of silly music to cover up the beautiful sound of the cars in-game. of course the big caveat would be, if you cant capture it on video you cant enter, but this also means you cant cheat. It worked for a few of us on grid 1 and was a bit of extra fun, dosent need to be weekly, can be monthly or whateverly. anyone fancy it?

sounds like a challenge of sorts being issued here....platform not important, just pick one of those two cars take it onto the algarve and set a time....Or am i reading this all wrong? 8D

Your post does not appear to be a 'question' so im guessin that when you first posted it you didnt select the 'ask a question' option. [instead you chose 'new discussion'] That being so, you cant set it to 'answered' now that its indeed been sorted.

heh...of course you were...however, i couldnt resist just a little prod at you there 8P

you agree with me? you realise im the enemy faction dont you? [and undisputed kings of north london]

ooh that sounds like a challenge 8D

cos its a forum and we can debate anything. dont like dont comment. not rocket science is it likin your thinkin man!
