This game is pretty cool!

Setting my wheel up was a real pain in the ass! I still don't think I have it quite perfect yet, so if anyone has a scheme saved for V8C on a MS FF, please post it for d/l or email me with it - I'd be much obliged :)

So far (mostly tuning my wheel :rolleyes: )I have run Bathurst about a dozen times. I had to do that one first since thats the most widely discussed track - at least here at Total :D .
Keep in mind that I have never seen this track before ( :read: !!) but so far I have managed a 2:18 best lap.

I have two questions:

-What's the best way to get online to race? Is there an EA server or do I have to find an IP race?

-To use downloaded skins do I just rename the .tga file in "Textures", and if so is there any way to increase the number of in-game chioces?

The official V8C message boards aren't very encouraging :(

If anyone feels patient enough to race online with me, I'd sure like to give it a go :help: - the best time for me is usually between midnight 'til 4am GMT.

:beer:

down to 2.12's...

does anybody play this game or did everyone jump ship already?

[Y2kGoofball]

Umm, jump ship! lmao.

acctually we all play it still, even though it gets a bad rating all the time.

As for internet there are a few servers, but they have a habit of kicking us off because we password our races so only us can get in - the problem is if we dont then someone will jump in and say 'Oh Melbourne pls' or something annoying.

But if your interested (time differences are a problem but I can convert them back to whatever time I'm in here in Aus) i am starting up a simulated V8 Supercar racing season using v8 challenge, with a coupla guys from Aussie Muscle.

We only have 4 racers atm so anyone else is welcome! We are in planning stage so time etc hasnt been set. You are most welcome.

For this I will be using my own ISP as the server:eek: so I know nothing can go wrong ... like we cant be kicked off for having fun!

Tell me if your interested or want more info

you have to replace existing cars, i use the texture manager to make things easier. we've not found a way to increase the cars, but there are a few that are 1 car team, so theoretically they could be expanded (ive got ozemail's second car skin!) . i'm also looking for a way to change the other driver's names.

how do you increase cars Kev?? I have only heard of it theoretically, but never heard how its done

did u buy the game in USA agent?

[[SK]agent]

No it's not available here W. It plainly says on the back of the box "not for sale in North America..." (hope I don't get in trouble! :eek: ).
I asked a friend of mine from MCO for a copy & he mailed it to me, then I mailed him the money :D .

The difficult part is that I am 14 hours (give or take) behind when I play online - so prime time for most is at like 6am for me, and prime time for me is like 10am over there so it's slim pickins for races :rolleyes:

...and I'm getting closer to breaking 2 mins on Bathurst - best is an :05 right now :)

[Y2kGoofball]

hmm, 14 hours. It is like htat here in aus too, because NSW is a few hours in front of Perth, and a few bits like that.

Maybe though one day we could organise an online race ~ where exactly int he world are you from so I can try and match up time?
