Thanks for the interesting and detailed feedback !
This "thing" seems to happen only on the front tyres, right? The z6 uses the same front tyres tgm of the 458 and MP4, can you confirm that the "thing" also happens with those? And what compound is used: s7 ,s8 or s9 or do all 3 compounds provide the same "thing" ?

Love the Bentley, thank you. Just one question. What's up with the Porsche ai, pitting after a half hour, while the rest of the ai cars pit after a hour drive for the ai. Like to do endurance races with the ai put the Porsche is killing immersion by pitting this early.
 
This may sound like a dumb question, but I've been unable to run rF2 since before the Mclaren Shadow releases. All seems fixed now and I wanted to try out your GT3 cars. However..... I seem to have A-lot of GT3 mods. Some show v3.0, while others in the same category(AMGT3) show versions that match this thread: v1.05. How do I know I've got the right car selected AND the right AI group?
I'm getting a lot of dx11 type errors with some cars appearing as if they have a vertical box around them and others displaying a large white circle when they are in front of me. I suspect I'm mixing mods but I haven't been able to sort them out yet. Cleared the shaders etc but I'll go in and do it by hand just to be sure.

Boy when I couldn't drive, I must have been a busy little beaver collecting anything gt3. Thanks for your tips, cleaned out a-lot of extras and all the blooms have vanished. Great feel, very enjoyable now.

Did some more testing with the Porsche. They shred their tyres, full comsumption is allright, bit they all pit (ai) after half an hour because they heave no tyres left. Did a race at Monza, with the ai. Drove myself the first 2 laps, then handed over to the ai driver. After 20 minutes crew chief said: your tyres are schreded. Took backthe wheel myself and looked at my tyres. They were almost completely gone. I had to pit after 32 minutes, the other ai porsches did the same. Laptimes of the ai Porsche drivers were dropping back from 1.51 to 1.53. So, ….the problem with the ai porsches pitting early are the tyres, they don't last a stint, while the other cars (Bentley, bmw etc etc) are pitting after 50 - 55 minutes for fuel and tyres, put they pit becaus they ran out of fuel, not the tyres.
The Porsche is a lively car, with much movement. First understeer and then oversteer, that's realy fun, but, look at the movement of the arms when the ai is driving and compare that to example the Bentley. Something is not right with the Porsche. Really love this mod Yoss, but can you please look at the Porsche. Hope this helps, thanks
 
Ty for the feedback and for the time you past on it .As we say we can try to debugg if something is wrong, but i m sorry i don't understand the problem :
- Is it the ai tyres ? Ai use Tbc file and have nothing to see with TGm file , wear of the one files can't be affected by the other, or we miss something somewhere
- Is it the Human player tyres? Human Drivers who made the Nordschleife race don't say they need to pit every 4 laps for change tyres or we miss again something .Nordschleife lap time was around 8.xxx minutes so 4 lap = around more or less 32 m .Human player use Tgm file .
 
It's the ai tyre. When i give up the wheel after one lap and let the ai take over to do te rest of the stint, it uses the tbc files right? So the ai drives my selected car (wich i started for one lap). Al other ai can do a stint of 50 - 55 minutes, except the Porsches. At 30 minutes in to the stint my ai driver get warnings (crew chief) that the ai tyres are going off. Just like the other Porsche ai, mij ai driver has to pit after 35 minutes because the tires are totaly gone. Pitstoptimes of the Porsche ai are also shorter then rest of the ai, and thats because they still got fuel in the tank
 
ok ty for the clear explain ,i promise you that we look on porsche tbc file , but we are very very busy for the moment ,so don't expect a fast fix
 
Like to see them being balanced out with the official GT3 packs, also include those from other series (ie GT300) but leave out the Bentley (only need one and that's the official version)

These cars are from the previous GT3 era so balancing them with the official pack of GT3 will be quite inaccurate. I've read plenty about the official pack having its own issues. Surely it will eventually be updated so any work towards it would also be rendered useless. Throwing another series in the mix for B.O.P. is even worse.

The one thing that we can promise is the next GT3 mod will feature the current cars. The best thing we can deliver with this 2012 GT3 grid is having the cars balanced to each other.

While balancing the cars out, take a look at the Merc also (ai). They are limited to 166 km per hour top speed while the other cars reach 176. So at le mans, Daytona, Monza and Spa they are hurt on the long straiths. If you set the topspeed to 176 we can balance them out outselves using talent files (virtual drives) and BOP (ai strenght per car) them at any circuit.

Great,
The SLS has also weak headlights compared to the other cars.
The Corvette and Porsche have the lowest fuel consumption and the Bentley is more fuel consuming (ai). So after 50-53 minutes the Bentley is in for a pitstop, the Corvette and Porsche can do a stint that last over an hour (again ai). So if you do a 6 hour endurance race, they are making less pitstops then the merc, the bmw, the Ferrari and certainly less pitstops then the Bentley. Ans a pitstop takes about 1 minute and 10 seconds (with pit in and driving pit out). Almost impossible for the Bentley to make up the difference. Can you look at that too please. I know you guys are busy, no hurry. Good luck.
