It would be nice to gather a bit of a crowd though, what about scheduling an unofficial meeting time this weekend?

P.S. I don't mean to be intrusive about this, but I still think 20 seconds between stages is too short :), because 1) everybody is muted outside that 20-second interval, 2) people want to have some time to study the results, and 3) stages are so long that a bit of respite in between is in order.
Yes, I was pretty pissed about that bug too. But that's what the test sessions are for. Now that is at least fixed.

Next weekend I won't be home so the server will be down also. In theory sunday night would be possible but then there's F1SL's Sunday Cup which I want to participate. But any other time is fine to me. And yes bigger crowd would be nice. Maybe we could get even Lanz back driving again?

And comments and suggestions are never intrusive. Those give me feeling that someone actually cares about the shit I do. :lol:

My idea is to get the rally over in under 2 hours but I guess there is some room to increase the time. Maybe 30 sec is enough when there's only one driver (no one chats with themselves, right?) and when there's more people then time would increase to 45 sec. That should be enough? I think 60sec would be too much waiting. I could probably make the changes for tomorrow.

Maybe for march I put up one of the shorter RMPTS rallyes. We haven't driven those in ages. I specially like the gravel ones but tarmac is also ok. Those are mostly wanked to death by Mike so there are quite challenging stage records.
Here are some examples of Mike driving those shorter stages at my server:

Mike_Nike_RMPTS_RK06
Mike_Nike_RMPTS_RP06
Mike_Nike_RMPTS_RR08

You need couple .car files for videos to play as the car names seem to be changed in newest mod:
SL_Ford_Fiesta.car
SL_Mini_Cooper.car

I decided to try something new again. I took some single lap tracks that Scud had made for default cars and only edited them to have same startpos for all racers. "Rally" car is now EasySlider. There's no start delay and it's a ghostrace so I recommend using invisible ghosts (ghostalphamode 0) if you happen to drive with someone there.

Here are the edited trackpack. I have also enabled downloading from server:
sc_rally.zip

Maybe this creates some more interest to my rally server.
