To the guys in room B who aren't running the 911 give your car another 20bhp. Will open room A at 7:30 :)
Wish I'd seen this last night! might have been able to catch up Dave in race 2. Is this for the rest of the series?
As for room a+b, I think there are two options to make it work:
1) grouped start with room a at front to allow packs to race each other
2) random grid and everyone takes rough with the smooth.
I don't think room b should be jumping out of the way for room a. I not seen anyone block anybody. The only incident i saw was a faster driver hitting a slower one. The difference is such that people should be able to pass quickly and cleanly.
The reason that this was brought up was there was blocking but it was not intentional. When you have a slightly slower driver racing you into and out of every bend its hard to overtake safely. So it was meant that, if a room B driver has a room A driver behind him, just make some space and let him pass. If this doesnt happen thats when you get small accidents with a room A driver taking risks to overtake.
I think the lobby should have the groups start separately that way we dont have this problem.
I will run the lobby with the groups next week so we are seperated.
Also the extra 20BHP for none 91 cars is for the rest of the season.

I need the Replays or results from Hock for Room B and I can get them finished off please.
Im aiming for a 1:26 but that was without HC with 15% I think ill aim for the low 1:28's High 27's as currently with 15% ive got best of 1:29.3xx (driving Porsche)
Cheers Church for job done for me. Shame that the flue get me out of competition. Today no better than yesterday fever and cought .....
Hope that next one i will use tune to compare with mine and adjust for next track. 20 BHP adv. sounds not bad - need to look on the bits available to have good use of it.
Looks like it colud help for my driving style as well. My start idea was to keep as much of torque as low as possible (small turbo stock cams etc.) to have best of limited 420 BHP. But it couse problem with stability as i had to be really carefull in throthle. I really prefer rev high
Regrettably due to wheel failure i will probably not be running in this series any more. The brakes seem to go instantly to full pressure at the slightest touch of the brake pedal which is clearly not conducive to any sort of race driving!!
Am reliably informed that this is either pot failure or pedal cable failure. Does anyone know if the pots in this wheel are adjustable?
I do have an old logitech fx wheel but this also is a bit tired and sloppy so cant see that being much cop anymore, however if either wheel is salveagable i might be back, if not that would seem to be a retirement from forza.....
I'm a bit of wheel expert I had 2 MS wheels and end up with Fanatec....
Back to the topic - MS pedals are not really high tec stuff just 2 pots. In Your case probably of high use the pots are filled up with dust or bits from pot patch changing resistance ..... If they are not in bad condition cheapest and quickes solution is to clean them with some contact-spray (can get it in Halford or M&M) stuff to clean contact points - or just clean spirit.
To get to the pots You will need secure torx screw driver (from memory T15 - secured mean that with whole in a middle)
Pots are not really adjustable.
Bigger problem to MS wheels is that they can lost calibration (let say stay 20 deg left but ForceFeedback is bringing it straight) - No way to fix it at all and no MS support in this cases.
All what i would like to suggest - find good occasion like birthday, easter, every monday celebration or anything elese and get for You Fanatec GT2 - they are relatively cheap and support all 3 platforms PC, XBOX360 and Play3
I would say that they are good enought (sure You can get TOP Fanatec products but it will cost fortune)
More important that the wheel are pedals - and if You do not find wheel with pedals You have good range of choice - or buy Logitech G25 or G27 pedals and adapter for Fanatec - or find Fanatec pedals.
But if You looking to get in near future xbox one - do not expect that thes wheels are going to work with it - MS has changed whole system for supporting FF and looks like Fanatec can not get MS to aprove
Cheers Amber, Awesome bastek looks good at night ;), Welcome to Room A Cherry ;) (part of the fun), bummer general hope you get sorted, Hat tip to Fitzy
Thanks for the info bastek, was planning to strip down pedal board and see what could be done, have also discovered you can buy allegedly "new" pedals on fleabay for 25 ish quid delivered, so all not lost.
Of course may go mad and frankenstein the thing with clutch and shifter options......

Perhaps we should have a tech forum on here....
In your case it can be one of two possible problems.
either the pedal cable has a bad connection ( damaged wire or connector )
or the potentiometer is damaged or has a dirty contact.
as Bastek said earlier you could try spraying contact cleaner inside the pot to see if this helps.
the way these pedals work is - if there is no electrical resistance detected then the throttle or brake will be fully applyed.
( either no connection at the cable or no continuity at the pot.)
And by not hitting anyone I was able to secure a podium finish. Thanks MPR!
Ahhhhh. The dreaded T1 collisions. excuse me, excuse me, sorry, pardon me, sorry again as I try to fit this car through an opening the size of a breadbox. Many of you guys would be so fired by the owners.
And I am mad that I can't join in because of my crappy RL schedule.
I will run the lobby with the groups next week so we are seperated.

The Scooby with 420 BHP (Standard Req) I can do high 1.27s with the tune I have sent you Bastek!
Just testing with the extra 20BHP now but should let me go for 1.26s
Church, any chance of updated Leaderboard, if General has sent you the results just want to see the detailed scores before going into battle :) :)
No full brake down of results yet :(
Although I do believe the following is correct and includes the point drop.
STCC Super1800 Championship standings after Hockenheim, inclusive of 1st point drop. (Done by General)
1 Supernovadave Team DBBQ 153pts 10%
2 Cherry MPR 142pts 15
3 General MPR 137 15
4 Snoop MPR 133 15

9 Amber MPR 59 -
10 Majong57 39 5
11 Jorm 35 -
12 Mapo 23 -
1.26s so you should be in line with everyone else now Bastek!
Anyone fancy running one room tonight?
I will start the room now and send invites. If it goes tits up will split the room down with A na dB as normal?
Room is open!
Not showing up tonight..........big hangover from last nights celebrations !!!!!!
Really enjoyed that tonight!
A few incidents but I thought it was very clean considering there was 15 of us on the track!
As discussed after the race I have added Sebring and Suzuka on to the track list.
I will also include another point drop !
Has anyone got the replays from Room B at Hock Full please?
Cheers Church for job done for me. Shame that the flue get me out of competition. Today no better than yesterday fever and cought .....

Yeah I put some cams on her and she became very rev happy :)
Cheers Amber!

Please do not laught to loud as is nearly stock 1.0 50 BHP ... wish to have VTS version 1.6 or in worst case 1.4
For the record there was a clear gap between me and Fitzy (Me in front)
In the future could you save any debates about incidents until after the race rather than blither on about it like 8 year olds for half the race.
This won't be a problem going forward.
Will be 9 Laps per race this week chaps.
Just done 2 laps and in the 911 with 0% H/C did a 1:37.2xx (Room A Time)
Church,replays sent race 1,2,3.
Thinks i should be on 59 points,thats with points drop,cheers boss.Regrettably due to wheel failure i will probably not be running in this series any more.

What about the advanced brake settings in the Forza game? Could that be an issue?
Also even if you get it fixed try the spongefoam behind the pedal for a better response.
