Okay, have found out there is a bug with last NGTC pack.
Jimmy is looking at it.

Also another issue I neglected to mention:
Cadwell v2.0 has a AI fuel issue fix is yet to be published.
AI will pit after 1 lap.
Work around is to set no fuel usage in menu, this will stop cars pitting for now.

P.S.
Jimmy is going to upload mod to Overtake.
I see if I can get him to add here as well.

Added: DONINGTON v1.12 ( AIW Fix )
THREAD:
https://forum.studio-397.com/index.php?threads/track-aiws.64102/page-71 (See Post #1418)

DOWNLOAD:
https://mega.nz/folder/CIIlGQ5C#jmMrO8sfvanSx4D6X8PaLg

Uninstall BTTC HISTORIC rfmod
I recommend you download fix to your rF2 archive not rF2/Packages ( see mine in screenshot below )
In mod manager Change Packages Dir: to folder you saved fix to
Donington v1.11 will become bold
Right click click update

* Any other existing rfmods that contain DONINGTON v1.11 will become corrupt and need updating.
A solution to this is don't install the fix through mod manager.
Pack DONINGTON v1.12 into a GME mod and activate it only when you need to run Donington.
Of course your other rfmods won't have the AI fix.

Sorry put wrong Honda.

Version 1.02: OPEL & VAUXHALL VECTRA B STW, FORD MONDEO STW
Version 1.12: VOLVO S40 ST, VAUXHALL CAVALIER GSI, NISSAN PRIMERA GT P11,
FORD SIERRA RS500 COSWORTH, BMW E36 320I STW

Tires wear progression changed.
For a better experience during races, tires grip is relatively stable up to 30% remaining (tires lose rubber but no grip), and then, tires begin to die, grip falls (tires lose rubber and efficiency).
Tires can stay above 30% about 40-45 minutes with a little attention, because they are more sensitive to heating, locking wheels.

OPEL & VAUXHALL VECTRA B STW
Oil Gauge texture and rendering improved

Some had issue finding Knockhill 1.755
I did not add 1.8 because it's only for a reverse layout with basic AIW

Here is link to version you need for both my BTCC rfmods

ADDED: Knockhill_18

REMOVED: Knockhill_1.755

Had a few prods to update Knockhill.
Having same 2 tracks installed makes no sense.
Have not included reverse layout.
You can use that in "ALL TRACKS & CARS"

***Remember if you use workshop to download that Knockhill 1.755 will not be removed until you remove the old rfmod.

===============================================================

FOR MAS2 USERS ONLY:
=====================
P.S. For anyone updating their own rfmods my way:

There is a bug when you update a track ( already in the rfmod ) with a patch.
You will find when you package the rfmod it comes up "Damaged Mod"
Fix is easy
Pack mod normally
DON'T remove / archive the files from roaming yet.
1. Uninstall the "Damaged Mod" rfmod ......DON'T DELETE IT
2. Start MAS2 again , click edit existing mod.
3. BTTC HISTORIC will open
Click Package again ( I usually click twice for good measure )
Click install
CLOSE MAS 2
Now refresh and check Mod Manager again it should be installed properly
Now you can archive the roaming folder and files and rfmod.

Strange Brew, I expect no less from ISI

WARNING: When you let MAS2 corrupt like this it will also corrupt the installed rfmod !

THAT IS WHY you have to archive the rfmods, so you can quickly disable enable in OVGME.
Otherwise you will have to make the rfmod from scratch with no list of content in MAS2 to
help you and doing a large rfmod especially one with specific layouts and skins can be nightmare that way.

===================================

If you do corrupt a rfmod with specific skins:
1. Disable and Enable your rfmod in OVGME ( this will reinstate the original rfmod )
2. Open rFactor 2 in a small window IE: 2560x1440
3. Open the series in rFactor 2
4. Now you can use that skin list to duplicate into MAS2 ( open beside rF2 ) and fix mod

Please, give us the option to install this from steamworkshop.

8Ball · Oct 11, 2024

Anyone wants to upload them to Workshop is free to do so

Personally I think rfmods should be handled by local sites.
