British Super Touring '97 addon

[AndreasFSC]

I'm considering making a '97 season addon to my '98 mod. The plan is to use the existing models, physics and engines files (except for the 4wd audi) and to just add the teams to the mod (in the same way as in the STW '98 addon).
The new cars will have their own '97 class, but do someone know if it will cause problems to use the same car ID's?
It seems to work fine with different .inccar files with the same car ID's as long as they use exactly the same performance files, but maybe the different car classes will cause trouble...

I think this would be a great way to save some car ID's

I think it will work...............just use the .incar to make the difference..........ie: 98_honda.inccar

becomes ie:97_honda.incar or honda_1997.incar

car ID's shouldn't but Identical car numbers will cause a no show

so for 1997 cars , maybe 97017_Accord and so on

or BST97_Accord and so on

Good
I've added the teams now and it seems to work fine, at least offline. A lot of skinning to do now, but it will be fun

Only problem comes when people start to use the car filter... if say someone selects the Peugeot 406 and it is in two classes then all drivers from the two classes are avaliable. TBH it just depends if/how people use the car filter!

Hopefully that makes sense!

 

[AndreasFSC]

Thanks for the info. I hope we can live with that

 

[Marc Majnes]

I can...............I like to race the year/season as is or add to or take from manually """That Filter thing Sucks"""""

first 1998 and now Menu's championship year - wooohoooo! great! thank you for your hard work! Do you think about skinning the privateers too?

 

[AndreasFSC]

There will probably be some privateers

 

[Simon Gardner]

I will do the Team Dynamics Nissan if you want

 

[Samu15]

There will probably be some privateers

Do you think that you will create a Vauxhall Cavalier ?
I think that it would be too much work too to create a sedan Mondeo for the Team Dynamics wich only used it for 5 rounds.

 

[AndreasFSC]

The plan is still to make the cavalier, a volvo 850 and maybe some more ST cars.
But making a whole car is much work, so a lot of inspiration is needed. For the moment I'm concentrating on provideing the updates of the '98 mod to the other ST mods.

So I think the cavalier will be a later addon

 

[Samu15]

Thanks by advance for all your work !

A little bit strange colour so far, but the Ford is on track.

I have the year books for 1996 and 1997 BTCC years. I dont have a scanner sadly but I might be able to confirm some sponsor names etc if needed

Great work
