    Theres still no fix for not being able to set less than 10 laps on eifelwald in multiplayer

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Michael-Mueller/1289018923 Michael Mueller

    So, is there multiplayer for Team Member yet? All these builds are getting confusing.

  • Anonymous

    Did you set laps to less than 10 in singleplayer? I think I remember doing a 2 lap race at eifelwald.

  • http://www.facebook.com/martino.cesaratto Martino Cesaratto

    yes there is

  • http://www.facebook.com/alan.dallas.1 Alan Dallas

    Set the laps in Practice mode and then go into multiplayer if hosting as a work around.

  • Steve Bird

    Multiplayer is available for Full Member and not Team Member as stated..

    I did some multiplayer practice this past week and I was impressed. It was very good.

    I was letss impressed by some idiot running against the race direction in a single seater while the rest of us were driving Pagani Zondas. That was a bad sign.

    I think it’s actually time to start at least a weekly race.

    Gee, even with the contractor/member setup there are still d-bags in the public races?

  • Morgan Henstridge

    You just need to set the race length in the offline Race settings screen and these carry over to multi-player.

  • Alejandro Gorgal

    Yeah but it’s being fixed fairly quickly, as of now driving in the wrong direction will get you kicked in ten seconds.
    It’s all temporary until a better MP scoring/license system is applied.

    You`re missing out on alot of stuff! I can reccomend buying in at team member level. You`ll not regret!

    Oh, are they working on some form of licensing/behavior management system? If so, that’s cool!

    I’d like to see a warp free three screen experience.

    Revisited this after a break of over 100 builds, still the wrong engine sounds for two of the Atoms. It’s getting really disappointing.

    325 is now available!

  • pez2k .

    The audio team is one man. He’s still got a year to sort it out, current focus is on cars where they have full sets of audio recordings to work with like the Paganis. Don’t forget that even when it progresses to the alpha stages it’s still not expected to be anywhere near feature-complete.

  • Eric Zehnder

    The community is trying to decide on how far to go. Everyone feels that iRacing is one extreme and a default F1 2012-style MP is the other extreme.

    Safety Ratings are OK but it’s way too easy to ruin it if you haven’t practiced a bunch of times and tweaked your setup for hours. I hated this portion of iRacing.

    We’re trying to find the balance between that and still being able to drop in and race. I’ve raced more times in pCARS in the last week than I did in iRacing’s hourly (or less often) scheduled races. It’s been great fun so far.

    9 dislikes. lol

    It must be because of your outrageous carping about the laps issue. :D

  • Big Ron

    Really disappointing that the game is not finished after 100 builds.

  • http://www.facebook.com/mazda.mps.1 Mazda Mps

    Funding has reached 3.2 million and there is one guy doing audio? Don’t get me wrong, I’m enjoying the game, the Atom just happens to be my favourite car hence my disappointment. It was one of the first cars developed in game, so why not get the sound somewhere handy. I know it’s still pre-alpha but it’s like starting DIY around the house and then getting bored and moving on to something else. :)

    They have more than one audio guy. But they have only one guy handling the audio samples.

  • pez2k .

    That’s a sufficient team size to get the game done in the expected timeframe, if they employed ten people they could have the entirety of the sound work done now, but they’d need a bigger budget to pay the wages. The Atom sounds are still just placeholders, there could be many reasons why they’ve not been replaced yet ranging from Ariel not having a spare car to record from so far to SMS simply not getting around to it. It’s a bit of both I’d expect.

    builds are just numbers. they release updates DAILY pretty much and numbering them makes it easier to address issues and avoid confusion. People are just mindlessly negative or irrational fanboys. where are the intelligent people?

  • Big Ron

    It was a sarcastic answer ;)

    aaah i didnt read your other responses hehe

    After just updating with the launcher, 326 now downloadable.

    Very cool! Was wondering if anyone was going to challenge iRacing on that front.

    I never implied that. Idiot. :)
