You would be correct in that assumption Kankkis

"GSC2012 is a complete new install on its own folder. You can keep or uninstall the original, up to you."

Good point

Quick question for Reiza:

Will texture files will be around the same as old spec cars? Cuz I have some nice skins and it would be pitty to remake it all from scratch

Will probably need to start over at least with the V8 Stock Car as they are both new models iirc

I wonder how much different the physics will be... I only got the game a day or so ago, I don't see much point learning all the braking points etc if I'm gonna have to relearn them straight away... That said, I'm already having so much fun with it that it doesn't really matter if I have to xD

All cars have had minor but significant physics updates. Generally speaking in terms of handling, the front tires are slightly sharper on turn-in, the rear end is slightly more alive, and the brakes less sensitive to locking up.

These are fairly natural progressions from the original physics so it´s pretty safe bet that anyone who liked them as they were will be pleased with the update

Original setups should still work pretty well too as suspension / drivetrain / chassis physics have remained pretty consistent. The tires and aero developments though might mean you need a little more rear downforce to achieve the same rear end stability of the originals.

Dunno how I missed that, lol. Cheers

Glad to see the brakes are less prone to locking, my biggest problem at the moment is that I don't even notice the brakes locking up, unless I watch a replay... This will hopefully help me go a bit faster then, can't wait

Any useful posts got lost amongst the 'is it ready yet' posts a long time ago.

Everytime this thread lights up I come along hoping to see 2012 released, but its normally someone asking if its ready yet, is it free, or will they need a fresh install etc

 

[morsify]

Paul, have you come back to read this?
Sorry, couldn't resist
I am doing the same so I know how you feel.

 

[Ivo Simons]

If its out you probably see a new thread created by Reiza Studios.

Yes I would expect there to be a new thread, but I cant watch a thread that hasnt been created yet can i?

 

[David Hester]

Not trying to be negative, but I'm not going to hold my breath for a release today and I'm not going to be to surprised if we get a message saying "June has come and passed, the release will be sometime in July"

 

[James Johnson]

Are we ready yet? Sorry i had to!

 

[Jason Lancett]
