Guys looking at the considerable loss of players on our DEMO servers that seems to change the AA Blackwood FBM to Blackwood Historic FBM, everyone is visiting those FBM servers, do you think? Does anyone agree?

Hey guys,

So I spent a couple hours redesigning the CSS, banner and a couple templates for the forum. As always, suggestions, comments and questions are welcome, no doubt I'll keep tweaking over the coming days. I've been through most of the pages on the default template and everything looks to be reasonable (reasonable) and separates us from the masses by being a bit more color coordinated having not found a template I like.

As always, the previous templates are still available should you want to use something else that I haven't messed will, to do that go to the User CP and on the bottom right you can choose from two more templates, Gold Dust and Kross.

Aaaaaalso... The picture for the banner I made is about 5 years old, if not it ain't far off. If anyone else wants to take a screenshot (hi res 1080p only) and post it below, other people can comment if it'd make a better image or not. Ideally something that features skins from our resident talents and showcases more than just Demo.

Hope you like the new design better than the old!

24 today!

Happy birthday, yo

Is it just my, or the handbrake in FBM hasn't been completely removed?

It is limited to a minimal value, but it still is there.
If you roll down the hill under 5kph you can still halt your car with it, bit more speed and the gravity overpowers the weak brake and you still gain the speed even with it on, but you slow down once you are on somewhat less 'hilly' terrain...

...which led me to a question, wouldn't it be beneficial to use h-brake anyway in brake zones? It does not impose any influence on handling, but from a limited test I think there's something to it.

This is the comparison between not using (left) and using handbrake (right). Same setup, same starting place, no manual gear changes, same braking point.



I'm not the best person to test it out, but someone who has more consistency with lap time probably could benefit from it. :-)

Hello,

Today we decided to move the servers permanently to germany.

The servers have been running there for the last 2 weeks, as no issues were reported and the issues we had have been solved with the move, we decided to stay on this new server.

The servers are now up and running through the control panel which will be available at the end of the day at the same URL as usual.
