    Okay guys, we started the internal tests on the new D4. Tomorrow I hope to release a new internal beta with few fixes. If somebody has time and wish to dedicate few hours in testing, seriously, the new version, please PM his request and email.

    Not sure what caused this, I suspect build 998 (?), but the 1.0a update version of this fantastic car does not show up in my car selection screen. If I remove the 1.0a update, I can drive the car no problem.

    I'd guess something in the update broke this mod, but I'm no expert...

    I'm not sure where I got it from, I assume from the first post here (?). I've got the 2 Palatov files, one is 205,568KB, the other (the 1.0a) is 23,754 and I downloaded them both within 3 minutes of each other on May 13. Maybe there was a fix released for something right after the initial release that was later repackaged for all to download. I can't imagine I'd have got this file from anywhere but here.

    No matter to me at the moment, I've uninstalled the 1.0a (wherever it came from) and all is good again because I can drive this cool car.

    Well, what named "1.0a" it is a "not official skin addon" made by Juergen months ago. No idea at all about the issue, I didn't test it and I'm not the author. Maybe Juergen will post some more info...

    We are developing the new version, as I wrote time ago, and it could be a good moment to resume (updating) the current status. Here the latest list of the improvements/changes:

    - remade all icons of all vehicles
    - repainted all skins made by Juergen in version 1.0
    - optimization of headlights values also due to the build 998
    - optimization of all gmts for night view
    - optimization of shader's values for reartrain
    - update talent and driver names
    - set same value of BrakeDuctSetting for all classes
    - new rear 3d suspensions, gearbox and other mechanical parts to update the D4 to the latest real car version (by Chris "redapg")
    - added the new "open" rear by default into the upgrade options to let also the previuos version available
    - added trackmap into the dashboard (cockpit): if map is not available appears the Palatov logo
    - added filler-cap to the body
    - optimization of shadows
    - optimization of all shaders and values for several parts
    - few new textures
    - new planes and textures for (under/tire)shadows
    - 3d remake of main and minor parts of the whole mod for improving SP and MP performances and for a better graphical quality (by Chris "redapg")
    - added "fake" nightlight to the motec(s) from external/swingman cam view
    - recalculated TGM "GrooveEffects" and added new "GrooveSqrdEffect" for each compound
    - graphic improvements to the dashes
    - added nightlight to the dash 2015 model, added also the choice for the color (upgrade)
    - switched the dash 2015 by default
    - added nightlight to the "old" dash (due to rF2 limitations, to see the nightlight on, you need to insert a gear)
    - added working powerswitch (needs to set "ignition" key)
    - added new working lightswitch (also out of cockpitview)
    - added working mirrors out of cockpitview (it works depending of track reflections)
    - remeshed body just over the cockpit for better look
    - few little improvements to the cockpit 3d
    - new rivets, new hi res steering wheel bolts
    - fixed missing driver name into VEH vs RCD
    - changed default values of tire set for HC into HDV file and deleted the lines to change tire set into the upgrades files of Custom and Hillclimb classes
    - new order for Classes into the UI: 1. Trackday MP, 2. Trackday, 3. HC, 4. Custom hoping people will use TDSE at first...
    - changed CGHeight= from 0.250 to 0.260 for HC and Custom equipped by HC rollcage
    - changed surname of "Hermann" to "BY" on request into Talent
    - changed performances of Chris into Talent to a better level (lol)
    - added missed "rlframe" to the Custom spinner.gen
    - added changes GeneralTorqueMult*= to Custom and UPGRADE for Custom.
    - GeneralTorqueMult*=0.96 vs 0.98 for normal aspirated engine due to the new value assigned to the ClutchFriction, for fixing maxspeed
    - new turbo1 and 2 engines for fixing rpm idle issue, if auto clutch off
    - new ClutchFriction value in all 3 hdv files for decreasing the rpm difference if auto clutch is on or off

    Thank you.

    I have to thank you!
    That's a long list, could you estimate (roughly)the time you spend so far?

    Really curious to test it. :)

    To avoid confusion, i removed the download of the 3 "missed" skins. However, this skin update was working, for me.

    //Edit: it seems, the update isn`t working longer, because of B998...

    Thanks to the investigations of Chris "redapg", now I'm adding personalized pit crew for each team of each class. At first the "pitexit" man, the one animated when you enter in the pitlane. Later the pair of static guys with the lollipop.
    The hope is that in the future ISI will animate at least the lollipop guy. But now on, driving the D4 and making a pit stop you'll never see the "red arrow".

    I didn't think this mod could get much better, but you keep proving me wrong! :)
