What does this plugin do at the start of a stage? Does it try to send information back to RSF.hu or download some data? What ports does the plugin use to communicate with the server? Trying everything I can here. I tried running with 1 GPU instead of SLI, but I can run any stages without this plugin...

Viv Dilkes-Frayne

I suppose I'm out then? Can't run any stages at all.

Hi Falcon, I appreciate the help. Specs: XP Pro SP2 (32-bit), AMD64, 2x GeForce 6800GT in SLI, 1600x1200. RBR config: Stripped completely bare, I've got a sound mod and real reid, a couple of skins and that's about it. RSFstub.dll and Z.dll both in plugins folder. Running Quick Rally: No problem, ev...

Viv Dilkes-Frayne

Yep, it happens in every mode. I just tried it with more or less a clean install. Same problem. My specs are Win XP, 2x6800GT SLI, Logitech G25, etc. I can run stages when not using the plugin (even with it installed/enabled), so I doubt it's hardware related. I do have real reid notes and a couple ...

Viv Dilkes-Frayne

Try installing the latest version of the plugin as Falcon seems to have sorted a few things. No matter what rally I try to do, the same thing happens. Spin around the car on start line, go to change view and crash to desktop. I can't think of any conflicts there may be. I'm running version 0.31.331...

Viv Dilkes-Frayne

No matter what mode, no matter what car, no matter what view, the same thing happens. Shows the car on the start line, swings around, crashes to desktop.
I'm at a loss to think why this is happening.

Viv Dilkes-Frayne

I am trying to run in practice mode. It loads the stage and shows the car on the start line, but when it goes to change view it crashes to desktop. Doesn't matter what car I use.

Any thoughts?

I managed to survive Day 1, but made a silly mistake on Day 2 and nosed a tree. It has been a disappointing start for FOG Team Rally with only one driver making it through both days, but we'll improve throughout the season.

Viv Dilkes-Frayne

I was doing some "hotlapping" on a wet Shepherds Shield. Lots of fun, lots of crashes... should've made a vid of the crashes, but here's a vid of my best run.

It's a 2:40.49 in the wet. Could probably go sub 40, but there you go.

I have two things to ask... 1. I am the manager for FOG Rally Team, but I seem to've disappeared from the team and I don't appear on the driver list. Is there something I need to do? 2. There's a second FOG team who would like to join... say hello to... Name: FOG Rally Team B Car: Citroen Xsara WRC ...

Viv Dilkes-Frayne

So there you go, the second team is here. Welcome guys, and good luck in your first season of RBRChamp!

Name: FOG Rally Team B

Car: Citroen Xsara WRC

Drivers:
- Tom Anderson
- Dennis Waller
- Russell J Standring

Viv Dilkes-Frayne

I vote Realistic.

I didn't finish the Shakedown, but it was my mistake. Heavy frontal impact.

Viv Dilkes-Frayne

I think the MotoGP points system would work... but it seems the mob has spoken.

Viv Dilkes-Frayne

Looks like I'm not in the Drivers List, but you are Tony. Is there something you're not telling me? You haven't ditched me as Team Leader have you?

Viv Dilkes-Frayne

For once I had a decent setup for the entire rally. My Subaru Impreza N4 worked flawlessly throughout the entire rally. That is until I drove straight into a tree at full noise on the penultimate stage. A disappointing end to the season, but I thoroughly enjoyed the rally. Very slippery but still ve...

Friendly Online Games has put together a Privateer WRC team for 2007.

Name: FOG Rally Team

Car: Citroen Xsara WRC

Drivers:
- Viv Dilkes-Frayne (head)
- Mark Steele
- Tony Hutchins

There is potential for two more team members as well as guest appearances from other FOG members.

Viv Dilkes-Frayne

After Leg 2: I started this leg very late at night and the driving was terrible! But after 3 stages I got into a battle with Tony Hutchins and that woke me up. I started driving better and pacing myself up to his times. I ended up pipping him on the second last stage and that earnt me 8th overall an...

Viv Dilkes-Frayne

There's a problem with the replays not saving. I think it's because of the name of the rally having slashes in it. Is everyone having the same problem or just me? After Leg 1: "Very slow going for me. Haven't had time to practice and it showed. I did my best just to keep it straight and off the tree...

Viv Dilkes-Frayne

I checked your setup too and there is a problem with your front and rear differential torque are not N4 regular!!! In your setup front 390, rear 515, but in N4 these are fix 400 and 600. Now you finished not in top8 but if you would, i think it would be painfull. Thanks Seb, are they the only irreg...

Viv Dilkes-Frayne

I drove to a plan this rally. I knew it was going to be hard, there are a lot of places to get caught out. I only made 4 or 5 small mistakes this rally but 2 of them cost me 3mins. Just ran a little bit wide and damaged the car on Noiker2 and Tanner. Overall I'm very happy to get to the end. I haven...

Viv Dilkes-Frayne

Strangest thing... I've been given a 33 second penalty on every run of Sipirkakim. I can only assume it's for cutting, but I can't see where I cut and had less than 2 wheels on the road. I just took the usual lines and definitely didn't gain any advantage.

Can I have the 99 seconds back please?

Viv Dilkes-Frayne

Rally Japan, Leg 1: Leg 1 was a mixed bag for me. I started the day just trying to get to the finish. I drove well and was happy with the pace in tricky conditions. I kept the car straight and on the road, but one bend on SS7 - NoikerII caught me out. I ran wide and tapped a tree... stuck in 2nd gea...

Viv Dilkes-Frayne

Do we have to upload replays from every stage or just one stage from each loop? We can't change the setup between loops anyway. Up to you, it's just a bit of a hassle uploading them individually.

Viv Dilkes-Frayne

On SS2, I did a Petter Solberg and the steering wheel came off the desk in my hands!! I had to pause and screw it back on... luckily it was just the Rally School stage, so no real damage done.

Viv Dilkes-Frayne

Well there you go. I give Chirdonhead a rap for being fun and easy and it ends my rally. On the long flat left after the first switch-back, the lack of grip on intermediate tyres caught me out... the back stepped out, hit a tree and slung the front into another tree. Stuck in 5th gear, rally over.

Viv Dilkes-Frayne

Finland is going to be fun! Chirdonhead is actually a great stage to drive in an N4. Nice and wide, a bit of margin for error. It's not hard to drive at 95% and stay off the trees. Harwood and Harwood 2 are my more hated stages. Cannot get into a rhythm and I've never had a decent setup for the Horw...

Viv Dilkes-Frayne

That was pretty hairy. I haven't played properly for a while and that led to some very scary moments! So many times up on 2 wheels! I was doing okay and trying to get to the finish of Leg 1, but with so much change in road condition, it was hard to even do that! If I get a point from this rally, I w...

Viv Dilkes-Frayne

And here's Me vs Mark Steele on the same bit of road. I thought I was quick, but he took another 4s off with ease. I'll have to keep practicing I guess.

Sweet, I got it RARed just under 100MB. It's just a split-screen incar/cinematic camera replay of my best run on Cote D'Arbroz. Here's the link if you're interested. It's nothing special.

Viv Dilkes-Frayne

I have a video of RBR (captured using Fraps) and I want to share it with others. What is the best compression to use? It's only 3mins long but I can't get it under 100MB while maintaining watchable quality.

Does anyone have any hints about compression, bit-rate and frame-rate?

Viv Dilkes-Frayne

Maybe we can have some rallies in the break just for fun... testing for Germany or something. Maybe call it Rally Ireland, a non-RBRChamp round.

Viv Dilkes-Frayne

I couldn't enter Greece today because I didn't have the School2 stage installed. I was looking forward to it because it's so long 'til the next one in Germany!
