[REL] WTCR 2018 by Tommy78

rFactor 2 is very CPU demanding with all the AI calculations, adding more LOD just intensifies. WTCR series are normally 26 drivers, which will not impact that much but doing 60-90 AI on Nordschleife will make the PC scream in agony :D

I did some test session with 5 different gen file to check the fps, and find the best settings to improve performance. I have very interesting results. I tested with 20 and 40 and 60 cars to compare the difference.
The different gen file example:
1. Same as before
2. Improved lod in and lod out
3. Tested with 3 lod's instead of 4
4. Tested with 2 lod's instead of 4
5. Tested with only the highest lod

Conclusion:
More lod's eat more fps, because at the same time with around 20-60 cars on the grid, need to load more lod's (objects) for the game engine. So with improved lod in and out settings, sometimes on the grid with a lot cars need to load (because of the distance between the first and last car) 2-3 lod's or all. The fps lost wasn't too much when i tested 40 or 60 cars compared to 20 cars on the grid. I checked the fps at the start of the race because more cars in a group. After few corner the fps went higher and higher. But i still got 67 fps at the start with 60 cars with high graphics settings.

I tried the new steering system, is it just lighter than the old one? seems not too heavy like the old one. SO which one do you suggest?
And how about this week's update? Waiting to drive it!!!~
Thanks again for this awesome mod

Both option has the same torque settings, but the old one is the old rF2 steering style, and the new one is the new steering style.
Only the Alfa coming today, because I implement all previous fixes which mentioned here before.
And anyone who have the mod can test and compare with the other cars.

yeah！alfa is nice！
and another question, are all the previous contents rear lights's color fix? I saw someone say's it above, golf rear light look like white when it's off and a bit orange when on... and just now I found audi seems white too, it might be some reflection problem? because in some occasion it's all right~ and if it's fixed just ignore what I said haha

I tried this and it's great fun, too!
and with steering style I wonder which is close to reality? rf2 style or new style? rf2 style might be similar to ISI's btcc civic, front wheel just drag u hand and new one is smooth(I just try it once so might not correct)?

BTW:all green head light for the alfa.... is it as it is on reality? hahha on Halloween it looks a bit.... hahahah
edit: I saw today's race when cecon flash his light, it's normal white, so there might be some problem?

Great mod, thats for shure!
The new stuff Alfa looking nice.
But , in AI races, the Alfas running much quicker than the rest of the pack. Close 2 seconds per lap in Monza and 1,5 in Monaco, for example!

No point to compare at this time with the previos cars, because of the new tires.
 
Hello Tommy.

Thank you for your investment in rF2.

It remains a seventh car to do to finalize the pack : do you know how likely you are to finish this car ?

I would take the whole pack at this time.

To be honest, I would mostly use this mod to make large multiclass grids of 61 cars with this mod and probably GT3, GTE, LMP2, LMP3, I hope a GT4 S397 pack too. Why not also the 3 DTM 2018 of URD. For the Nürburgring combined, and also Sebring.
