If it's just instantly going off like you've hit the reset button then i'd bet on the PSU, it's also the cheapest thing to swap out. Had this myself and seen it loads.

Usual number then stevo #711?

I was just going to say to stevo to turn up, we've not had a full show yet. If you're sure Gdub, that's kind of you.

Will be good to see TFCs RM buzzing around, it looks so nice. I just hope if 8 turn up we don't get connection issues, I've had trouble with less on some attempts.

@ Morgan - If you're thinking of joining us better do it soon, only 1 slot left.

Is this a free ride event?? What track will u be racing, national or sx?

This race will be on the National track.

Chris Schmieder #5. Should just do MX Open and if people want to ride a 250, then cool! 

Were's the fun in that? Everyone should enjoy the power of the 450 with the rest of us  Don't want to get beat by a 250 while on a 450 either

[Announcing a Fun Race at JS7 Compound National on all MX1 Bikes]

Announcing a Fun Race at JS7 Compound National on all MX1 Bikes

!!!Now on THURSDAY!!!

Thursday 13th April 20:30 UTC

All Riders Welcome

Lets fly! We'll spend about as much time in the air as on the ground on this track 

Fast as track especially on the MX1 class bikes. You'll need to get some scrubbing in or you'll see some down slopes go sailing by. It's great fun blasting around here and is a good exercise in throttle control!

Event Details

To participate you will require this MX1 pack containing bikes and tyres -
https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0B69-MKQxCg7ISEQ4S1ZsMWhic0E&export=download
(FYI - If you been on any server with MODs in the last few days, you already have these)

And this track -
JS7 Compound by TFC and Asdrael - https://mega.nz/#!IBw1XTDJ!rtKWaoxrhqBQ2ZUsN19fSarHgnI4qULxdsRbLIslqhY


2 servers will be used for this event, 1 server will be running practice for all and when the event starts a separate server will be used to hold the races. Those taking part will be called to join the race server and when finished will need to return to the practice server to await their next race call. The heat races will be short to keep waiting times down with the main being slightly longer.

The heats will be setup to run in different formats depending on the number of riders but should also allow for lag free racing that can be replayed to a decent standard. Heat and final races will currently contain a maximum of 8 riders, maybe lower depending on turnout. A single race might be held if numbers are too low to run heats. For initial heat selection names will be drawn at random.

Due to what I think are net code limitations in Beta6 I will only be running 8 people in races for now (as it stands with 8 already in a server joining seems to be a lottery). If I can figure out a way to organise larger races I will but for now this will have to suffice.


Collisions and deformation will be on.

Sweet! 

Marbles are the little pieces of rubber that come off tyres as they wear on tarmac, it builds up a visible margin off the racing line, it's not good if you get on them. Look on the right in the pic -



Not a feature in MX.

Yea my old links are long gone Gdub.

I have updated to the latest tyres but I guess maybe I haven't removed all the bikes Geo has from his stash, I can join my servers and GTX fine but I don't use the sync system. I'll take a look later.

Don't want to allow all bikes, as some will join with the wrong ones and I also want to keep it even with at least the same class. Plus it's easier to make a small pack in case some don't have the all the bikes come race night.

A softer tyre may grip better (and does), BUT because it is softer and does grip better you have more surface area contacting the ground.........thus more resistance

Probably should have included this line in the quote above.

A soft tyre with MX tyres does not have a bigger contact patch, a hard tyre does.

I have asked before ages ago but got no response from Piboso about what exactly the tyre names represent, but I find it hard to believe he would use rubber compounds and not the real world meaning. Might be why i didn't get an answer as it's obvious? But If i'm correct about this your "Goes" tyres are probably going in the wrong direction and might explain why i'm finding them terrible compared to the stock ones on certain surfaces.

Can you show any real world info about rolling resistance with dirt bike tyres? I'm sure it exists technically but isn't something I've ever heard mentioned or have read about as I suspect it's negligible.

Need to clarify this.....

I don't think allowing the possibility of loading your 450 SM setup on your Pitbike is a good idea myself  Same for all other bikes to a lesser degree.

You can "Copy" a setup from another track though as long as it's the same bike. The button is below the Save and Save As ones on that same panel.

Long story short: OEM bikes have as much real specs as possible to find. Rake angle, weight, brake disc size, gear box ratios, whatever.

And setups out of the box
