Since this weekend nobody needs to download any files manually anymore! The new automatic update script compares the situation on your harddisk with download section on webserver AND downloads and installs all necessary files with only one klick.  Please download the actual download script.

Wow, nobody expect to reach a milestone of one million kilometres, but guys….you did it!
Manny thanks to all of you teammates out there and still have the same fun in future like you had up to now!

Cheers,
  Uwe

...ever get annoyed about lost VCR files because of driving the same track several times and forgotten to copy the VRC files between to sessions?
This will happen no more at "the Bude" :-)
All sessions driven at both game servers are moved to an archive which keeps the VCR files for 30 days. Feel free to download your personal video of the last 30 days anytime.
After 30 days the files will be deleted automatically since our storage is limited.

Cheers,
  Uwe

Currently the milestone of 500.000km passed by.
No one of us expected this in the beginning of the Altbierbude.
Manny thanks to all of you teammates out there and still have the same fun in future like you had up to now!

It seems drink & drive isn't enough for all of you anymore.

Some guys also like to have a nice talking during the race.
So voices about the demand of a "teamspeak server" where getting
louder and louder...

So we implement one :-)

Pls. use the module on the lower left of the website to connect after installing the client software from www.goteamspeak.com/index.php?page=downloads

Have a lot of fun with it,
  Uwe

Hi,

since the requests for a newsletter are getting more and more we’re installed a module fort his task.

The Newsletters are maintained by Noplayer (Klaus)

If you would like to add your personal headline/article to a newsletter pls. ask Klaus (Noplayer@altbierbude.de)

Unfortunaletly the newsletter items are currently in German language since all currents items where written by our german members.
Anyway pls. don’t hesitate to send articles in English language also for future newsletters…

Cheers,
  Uwe

Since the "Bude" becomes more and more popular the grid gets filled more and more during our races. So the game server more and more often reaches the border of it's internet bandwidth.

To get rid of the resulting "LAGs" the voices for a "real", rented game server became louder and louder.

OK, you want it, so let's try to implement it's financial and organizational base.

Our hard working mechanist Klaus agreed to be the treasurer and handle the organisation part

The rent for an reasonable server is €108,- for the period of 6 month and will be covered by donations as discussed in the forum.

The server will be rented as soon as the amount for the first period is collected.

As soon as the collection box won't cover the rent fort he next period we'll quit the contract.

By starting the new server we'll inform about the donations and the current amounts in the collection box on the website.

If against one's expectations the donations won't cover the rent. The collection box well be donated to the "Wikipedia Foundation" >(http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia).

The bank account details can be obtained from Klaus (pm: noplayer / mail: donate@altbierbude.de)

Everybody is invited for donations to let the server become reality.

Cheers,

  Klaus&Uwe

the experiences with the first couple of "self-made" tracks has shown that GTL conversions costs more efforts than expected and the results can not be tested enough until publishing.

So it would be nice if a "road building-team" can be founded here.

 Everybody is invited to join!

Public discussions about will be made in the new board "track building" from now on.

Cheers,

  Uwe

Sorry but download will be available for registered members only from now on, because someone likes to fool us...
Since Registration is free of charge this should be no problem.

cheers,
  Uwe

(..even without IK*A) :-)

PrinzTT&Micha are offering their car-creations here since our formation, now I became a "road builder"...

The first two selfmade (or let's say "self-converted" to GTL) Tracks areavailable now!

It's Botniaring in Finland and Knutstop in Sweden.

I wish nice Laps two on both of them all of us...

Kippis&Skål,

The "Bude" recounts...
Not only unforgiving and calculating, now it becomes also nitpicking.

At Paddocks/Driverdetails you'll find detailed information about who drove how many km where and when.

Cheers,
  Uwe

Not only unforgiving but also calculating, that the character of our "Bude"...

Based on the data of "Best Laps" an hourly evaluation will generate the "Ranking List" and "Ledger Sheet".

Only vehicles and tracks currently available on the gameserver will be used for evaluation.
But don't sorrows, none of your rounds will get lost! Every single best lap remains in "Best Laps" data and will be used for ranking again in case tracks or vehicles on the gameserver are changing again.

You'll find detailed information about the evalutionmode at "Basis of Valuation".

Cheers,
  Uwe
