  Ehy guys, how I can upload this lap on Default track?

Sep 2

• Marco
  Hi Alessandro ... actually on the Facebook page "Ms-Dos Gaming" there's a little challenge launched by a guiy named Victor on the default circuit of Stunts and with automatic gear . There's a post . We are applying the GAR rules noRH and i have seen that your default lap is GAR valid then you can participate. In this moment I'm leading with 1.05.65. Obviously the new king of the GAR, the great Seeker is invited to participate if he has a personal Facebook account.
• dosbox92
  Thank you Marco! 1.05.65 it's an impressive time. Too hard for me
• Marco
  It s not bad but with a little lucky siruation, 1.04 is not impossible. Seeker can run 1.03. Seeker where are you?
• Seeker1982
  Actually I have 2 faceboook--accounts - one for business and health stuff, and one for gaming. But I haven't yet used the latter one. Additioally, next week and possibly this sunday I can't participate since I'm on holiday travels (Harz, Germany) Update: I searched for the challenge and found it, guess I have time for it after my holiday. One thing I not sure about: do we use all GAR rules or just NoRH? Btw: Thanks for the flowers (german saying)
• Duplode
  Token improvement...

• Marco
  Hi Seeker. We are using automatic gear and gar rules . With Gar rules obviously norh
• dreadnaut
  Quiet replays published, good night everyone

Sep 4

• FinRok
  I would not have needed even sent my quiet replay to win? and without any improvement i did my record lap two weeks ago. Great track Duplode!
• FinRok
  I quess everyone we're having summer vacation and now autumn is coming with rusty springs )
• Zak McKracken
  New track is up!
• Marco
  Congrats my friend !!! Very great result !!! Wow , Me and Seeker reached the 5 and 6 position with GAR laps.
• Marco
  10 seconds slower in the first GAR trial GAR ... this is a GAR circuit basically
• Marco
  8 seconds slower GAR ...
• Marco
  7 seconds slower GAR
• dreadnaut
  It is fairly GAR-ish, yes. Above all, I hope it will be fun with slow and fast cars alike

Sep 5

• arturbmallmann
  Ohhh. I don't got time to make a replay of zct193. I will try not fail this turn. Congrats, FinRok.
• FinRok
  Thanks @arturbmallmann. Back in action with the new track
• dreadnaut
  Come to the Forum and chat with Zak about 2018 and on...

Sep 6

• Shoegazing Leo
  Maybe, I'd found a different way/style in this track.
• arturbmallmann
  Amazing track and cars bonuses combination. It's completely open to any car to win! This is awesome.
• Cas
  I'm trying with several cars. It really is true. Everything is possible here
• arturbmallmann
  My first try on GAR.

Sep 8

• arturbmallmann
  Nice competition, even yet completely open, like I tough.
• Seeker1982
  I'm back
• Marco
  I was the king of the GAR. Now we have the Emperor of the GAR. How many hours have you tried before to run this GAR laps Seeker ?
• Seeker1982
  Guess IU was a little bit early with posting my lpa in the Jag - I improved by almost 3sec
• Seeker1982
  @Marco: actually not that much - for the Jag about 2h, for my lap in the Lambo LM002 around 20min to reach a driven 1:55,30
• dreadnaut
  September has arrived, let's organise a live race! Live Races 2017
• Marco
  Ok Seeker, what's your real name ? I want to present you on my channel and call you by your name.

Sep 9

• arturbmallmann
  My second gar try:
• Marco
  Run under 1:28 in GAR mode is insane . I reached a 1:27.80 and then this 1:26.15 that could be a 1.25 but I had a very super speedup at the beginning so I was very worried to waste it ... So I did some little mistake in the final part. Anyway not bad .
• Marco
  OHHH ... I forgot to flag the GAR sorry my friends . Dread can you move my last replay in the GAR race or remove it so that I can reload it ? . Sorry my friends
• Seeker1982
  Well, “some” personal information about me: I'm Frank Uhlig from Germany, Jena, the technological& science-center of the former GDR. I have an advanced education/training as System Engineer for (IT) Networks which is based on an education as Technical Assistant for IT, a certification as Microsoft Certified IT Professional for Enterprise Administration (MCITP Enterprise Admin for Windows Server 2008R2 based environments). I have 2 related disorders of the central nervous system (cognitive level), but since 4-2016 I'm also diagnosed to be highly gifted (IQ130+), which explains quite a lot about me. But due to those disorders it's quite unlikely that I'm ever gonna work, at least in a regular way. Right now I self-study Japanese and medicine with a focus on Neurology, Cognitive Sciences and Psychosomatics. With interruptions I played Stunts since I it was new (I started using PCs in the summer of 1990), but also a lot of other racing games, and became a sim-racer. In roughly chronological order: Stunts, Grand Prix Circuit and The Cycles (both by accolade), Grand Prix 2 (Micropose), Need for Speed 2, Colin McRae 2, Carmageddon1, Need for Speed Porsche, Nascar Season 2003 (Papyrus), Grand Prix Legends, Rally Trophy, Grand Prix 3 and 4 (Micropose), Carmageddon TDR2000, Richard Burns Rally, NFS Underground 2, Race Driver Grid1, Test Drive Unlimited, Race Driver Grid1, Race07 with all AddOns, Trackmania United, NFS Shift1&2 (latter modified for more realism), and finally Assetto Corsa. Some-when in late 2016 the pedals of my steering Wheel (Logitech G27) broke, and I don't have the money to replace it. This is the reason I restarted playing Stunts. This is my private channel (e.g. gaming): https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSeekerII Btw1: my forum-account stil isn't unlocked/activated Btw2: My computer is making trouble so it's quite likely that I can't race in the next week or so - I think my gar-time in the jaguar is improveable.

• Shoegazing Leo
  The moment I realised that I'm faster with an IMSA car than with an Indy...
• Marco
  Thanks Frank. You presented yourself in a so fast gar way that the community thought you were a cheater. I have always believed in you because i have seen your youtube channel etc. You are simply a super stunts champion. Join my fb page Marco Plays Dos Games if you can. I shared your 1.26.60 presenting you as the new Gar emperor. Then i matched a 1.26.15. I think that if you see my lap you can run 1.25 easier than how i can do that. I found a point where increasing from third to fourth gear earlier than the later jump on the tunnel it s better to gain a higher speed to the bankers
• dreadnaut
  @Marco I've added your replay added to the GAR scoreboard!
• FinRok
  @arturbmallman I wonder why you share your Indy replay you've should save it for quiet!!
• arturbmallmann
  hahahaha. I will see blood in the eyes. You guys had a quick answer!!
• FinRok
  I found my 55:00 lap in around Thursday-Friday i was going to save it hahaha
• arturbmallmann
  I though some one had discovered the indy secret too, so I send my today. I found it out on Friday but finalized my replay today. heheheh
• Cas
  Oh, man! I was hoping PMIN was going to have a nice handicap for the next race on my track, so I could build a fast one. If both PMIN and JAGU go down. then I'll have to design for the LM02. How can I estimate which cars will go down? Is it only the one that's used for the #1 position? I'm trying to design a track that's compatible with the cars that will be prevalent.
• Cas
  Guys... I've reopened Race for Kicks! In case one race isn't enough for you, here you have another one Give it a try: http://dimioca.com/r4k What can I do? Cold and rainy Sunday... I decided to reopen Also... I'm in for the incoming live races on Saturday 23rd. Who else is joining?

Sep 11

• dreadnaut
  The first three cars lose points, the next three stay the same, the others gain points. But the track designers also has up to 10 points to remove and add to any set of cars. E.g., Indy +5, Lotus +3, Lancia -8, the sum must be zero. See the competition rules: http://zak.stunts.hu/rules/2017
• Cas
  Oh... I already knew the system was smart, but it really is smarter than I thought! Thanks, mate. Well, then it means Indy will certainly drop a lot, since it's covering the whole podium, but this saves the Jaguar. Untouched, next race would be for the Jaguar vs. Lotus, which sounds good. I'll design with that in mind and if I see any surprise, then I'll assign some extra points
• Seeker1982
  @Marco: Here's my answer to your new fast lap on ZCT194 - I must admit that I had a little luck, but I put it to good use

Sep 12

• Marco
  This is not lucky my friend. Watching the video without know the laptime i thought you were under 1:25. Still don t know where you have lost something but... amazing skill my friend

Sep 14

• Cas
  Hey, Zak! I sent you the track for next race via PM in the forum!

Sep 15

• arturbmallmann
  happy birthday, Cas!!!
• Cas
  Thank you!!
• Seeker1982
  Hi Marco, I just sent you on Facebook a Friend-request with my gaming/non-professional account named Frank Laufenberg. This account will also be used for the 30Day Stunts challenge on the MS DOS Gaming page by Victor Borim Bardon (challenge posted on the 27th August 2017)
• dreadnaut
  Anyone with a good idea for a track? We are looking for a guest track for November, see Guest tracks 2017
• dreadnaut
  Oh, and Happy Birthday Cas! Best shortcuts and magic carpets
• arturbmallmann
  I had send one more track to zak months ago.. i would be honored .
• arturbmallmann
  i think i send to you too, dreadnaut.
• FinRok
  Hey. I have few tracks if they are eligible. check out videos here and pause -
• FinRok
  and here's another -
• Marco
  Hey Frank , it becomes difficult to celebrate a man with so many account. Please choose one of them
• FinRok
  damn the timestamp from embed my rok3 tracks is starting around 7:42 point
• FinRok
  Happy Birthday Cas!
• FinRok
  but... those are already used tracks
• Shoegazing Leo
  Feliz cumpleaños, Cas!

Sep 16

• Cas
  Thank you for the good wishes, guys!
• arturbmallmann
  Happy birthday, Friker!! All you guys have birthday so close!

Sep 17

• Cas
  Happy Birthday Friker and Renato Biker!

Sep 19

• Cas
  So.... are we going to do the live races this weekend? Who's joining, in the end?

Sep 20

• arturbmallmann
  I would like to participate. But I don't know if I can. This weekend I have some compromises, Friday night and Saturday. Several weekends I play music.
• arturbmallmann
  Maybe on Sunday it would be possible to me. On Saturday maybe until 16:00 BR(19:00 UTC?).
• Cas
  Sunday is a little complicated for me. It depends on the time and I would have to know in advance. It'd be good to know how many of us are available and when. Oh... I miss the times when I played in a band. I need to get back to that. My musician-friends have been getting married and with kids and dropped their instruments, ha, ha.

Sep 22

• dreadnaut
  I'm afraid I can't make it this weekend either. And the next one I'm travelling. October?
• FinRok
  ok my final for now without any lasttime improv
• dreadnaut
  Sorry, I have some spare room here
• dreadnaut
  Hey, you said that was your final one! By the way, note that I can't reach your number of hours anyway, with the 6 days of LTB left.
• FinRok
  It was my final until i started improving again that time was from two weeks back
• Cas
  Alright... live will be in October, then. Wow... still improving times... I'm finding it very hard, already.
• Cas
  There goes my most recent attempt

Sep 23

• dreadnaut
  That was a fun day Finrok! ...let's not do that ever again though
• Seeker1982
  Hi all, since I finished the DOS-Gaming-Challenge (Default-Track with GAR-rules and automatic transmission) I'd like to give the default track with manual gearbox and more liberal rules a try. Are there any rules other than NoRH to follow? This is my first serious attempt:

Sep 24

• dreadnaut
  Finally the actual result!
• FinRok
  Huh? what's your final time
• dreadnaut
  Not telling! Which means I either have a faster time and I'm hiding it, or I don't and I need to catch up
• dreadnaut
  By the way, I really need to fix the leading time calculations —sometimes hours are awarded for 15 minutes of lead time...

Sep 25

• FinRok
  Btw check your endings for penalty! In this track "at end,part" there's very narrow space to get record without penalty..

Sep 27

• Friker
  Thanks for birthday's congratulations, guys. @LTB: There were always fights who can send replay later in the hour and it is a part of system. But I do not mind change to "leading minutes" concept. Since CTG is not here anymore (or is he?).. @LTB table: First time this month is 1:13.100. Is it an error?
• dreadnaut
  Hello Friker! Yes, the 100 is another error I'm working on fixing the whole things, but it's still too experimental: http://zak.stunts.hu/index.php?track=ZCT194&page=leading
• FinRok
  Whoa that's a messy to read those lines and numbers in that link! PS I suck at math anyway makes my head hurt haha
• dreadnaut
  There's a nice table at the bottom. And ignore Method A, which is a bit broken
• Cas
  Is today your birthday, Friker? How come the site didn't say! Happy birthday, mate!

Sep 30

• Cas
  Well, my track is going to come in soon and it looks by the scoreboard on this track that it's going to be a Jaguar vs. Lotus, probably. I think I've got nothing to change at the cars' handicaps.
• Duplode
  Hello! This is mostly to show I haven't vanished entirely...
• FinRok
  Congrats in advance you won my time! @Duplode How did you managed to get under 48 without penalty! I had also 48:65-75 hands on but very hard to get the ending angle of approach!
• FinRok
  You can answer after 20 minutes
