Thread: New to BATracer

Hi,

I am new to BATracer. Have just created an account, seems like an interesting game. But I have not understood the game, I mean how to play, how are the points calculated, what are public and private game etc.
Would be great if someone can help me in this, also if there are any guide available for beginners.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the response.
But Batracer site does not have anything for absolute beginners. I want to learn it from the very basic level and want to understand in detail.

Now I am getting a hang of it. But still have couple of things like:

1. Difference between Public game and mid season.
2. How is weather factor for a particular race decided.
3. Can I play any game any time of the year.

I will have a lots more doubts once I go further in detail.

Thanks a lot.

1. Basically a public game is starting a full season and a mid season game is replacing an AWOL driver in another game and resuming where they left off.

2. The weather is just a very random thing in batracer, some tracks will have more chance of a wet race than others partly due to location.

3. Yes! Unless of course there is a server problem

Thanks a lot...I really appreciate that....
I do have couple of more..if you dont mind...

I could just join a public group and started with Australian now by itself it has taken me to the malaysian grand prix, is it always like that, or I can choose which race to take part and which not.

When I go to my games,one of game either public or private shows yello [selected] but I have no way to click and go ahead.

In the car setup page whats difference between : Load,save,test and what is experimentation.

I am still not sure how are my practice,qualifying,warmup and race times calculated and in one of the race I had a collision with another driver and was out of the race,how is that possible.

Is there any relation between the real 2008 F1 calendar and the calendar we play.

Thanks in advance

Just to expand a bit on what Harakimi said:-

If your playing in an F1 season, a race weekend (practice, quali, warmup, race) should last 2 days in real time and you have to wait in the time specified to do your quali or race.

In the My Games section, the game that is selected (highlighted in yellow) is obviously the selected game so instead you go to Office -> Your Desk

Thanks a lot buddies....I really appreciate your help...
