Ars you Going to improve the graphic?!
I have done some laps


The physics seems good, but the ffb not so much! I feel a big dead zone in the center of the wheel that make these cars hard to turn!
 
Flickering inside cabin yes trying to fix, outside textures need a big change as said in the known issues i wasnt happy with the outcome of the models with 3dmax Probably just a setting somewhere thats not right. but im learning
someone with more knowledge might be able to point me in the right direction... basically however i imported or exported them has effected the detail/bodylines and windows View attachment 12166 you can sort off see here the window looks like it "domes" inwards on the window
some dashes have far to much specular power also (late change that didnt really work)

ffb on m3, skyline and sierra still need some refining they do have that light feeling to them in the slower turning areas
others feel good though
also have noticed that the M3 EVO against any other car may be causing issue's With servers crashing or booting other people when an EVO joins.. best to have the EVO by itself for now I think until I can resolve this

this could be fixed by seperating them entirley from the M3 and have the EVO as its own Package..

Can't seem to get sierra, neither link working. Alternate link just takes me to my Mediafire account not a file download.

Yeah, that's not a knock on the mod- the real cars were probably very imbalanced too. That was the nature of touring cars back then. I had the BMW 635 on track at Essington against AI in Sierras (the Bimmer is down something like 140BHP!) and the BMW did a lot better in the corners, but up the hill the Cosworth power just left me in the dust. This is not a league mod and for league use, you'd either have to do some serious perf. balancing or restrict to certain cars.

As for falling out of realtime, John, I had the same issue last night. I had to disable HDR to race the AI. I tested at 2 tracks- Hungaroring and Aintree in the BMW 635 and Sierra, I had no HDR profile, I was using the Automation profile.

Had a good run with these last week, online with Obbzy & SS went without a hitch, apart from the known issues listed above. But offline with AI the game got pulled out of real time with every car i tried. The really strange issue is it seems to only happen while the AI are in the pit lane. I tried the mod at Croft and Silverstone and it occurred at both tracks. If I persevere and complete the out-lap, the game returns to real time. When conducting a race session, the game ran fine until one of the AI went into the pits, when it fell out of real time again. Only the player car is affected, the AI continue in real time.[/QUOTE

interesting this wasnt happening in earlier builds but i think most people suffer with it now i know i do , might be lod settings that need to be turned down a bit

all good I know .. the sierra's where smashing everything everywhere tonight with us once a set was sussed for them weight penalties is what we will do i think
 
Actually, now that I think of it-

I had HDR active when I did an AI race last week at Essington- but it occurs to me I have a Gladiator HDR profile for that track. That race was fine. At Hungary and Aintree I have no profiles so it defaulted to Automation....
 
Did you model the turbos properly? Been waiting for an RF2 mod to utilize something the engine does better than anyone else. If you didn't and want help some help, contact me through pm.
I'll have to install rf2 again for this.
 
OK, I have the realtime bug on various different tracks. It seems to have to do with the engine. When I am sitting in my garage with the engine off, I am in realtime. As soon as I fire up the engine, I am in molasses time. With my engine off, I can watch cars go by, and when I time it just right, I watch them travel in real time and as soon as that engine kicks on, the cars crawl. It is reproducible with the Sierra and Rover and the BTCC Holden SL. What I don't get (maybe this tells you something) is that I raced the BMW 635 with no problems at all. My question is- could the 635 be naturally aspirated and the others turbo? I guess I need to hop on one track and try diffeent cars all in the same conditions
 
sorry folks, I don't know if it is HDR related. I had HDR enabled and everything was fine at some tracks I just tested. It's random- some tracks work some don't. Essington, Mills, Oran Park GP all worked fine. Loch Drummond, Brands, Donington all went right into mollasestime as soon as I turn the engine on. This problem beats the hell out of me, I have never seen anything like it. All I know is that with HDR on or off, at those tracks I can't race because I'm in molassestime. But in those other tracks, with HDR enabled, it was fine.

Can LOD settings do this? Maybe the LOD settings for those tracks is incompatible with the mod? <- Wild guess

that is weird..

635 has no turbo nor does the rover or the commodores. sierra, skylne , m3 evo, volvo do have turbo's

the hdr thing is weird to I noticed last night that as soon as i join if its set to automation its to reflective, I then select a profile for the track and its ok when the session moves on to the next track it goes back to automation and its still ok ,scroll threw the profiles select each and have a look they are fine, when i go back to automation its stuffed again.. bit confusing.. the 635 is on a totally different setting to all the others.. kind of like the guinea pig it could be why the 635 works ok by itself......theory that just come to me lol
