Thanks for your generosity, @After_Midnight ! Thank you too, Clarke, for your great support and work! At least now I understand how it works, I'll not annoy any author regarding this banner thing again.

OK can I just clear something up here. I have been asked, which made me giggle, how much you made from the Ginetta.....

Well it's not a case of how much I have made, lets just say how much I have spent.

This has cost "me" around £1,500. Yes no joke. This has been paying for people's time, as if you require quality, it comes at a cost. Some have dedicated it for free but this also includes my travel costs (petrol), hotels, days holiday from work to attend sessions, and no, we / I have never ever setup a donations page, and never will, it's not my style.

Like I said before, and I say it again, this is a community project, done by a set of dedicated community members for you all to enjoy.

What do we get out of it....your happy feedback and enjoyment knowing that we did a good job

Hope that clears things up.

PS - Don't get me wrong I am not looking for OMG or anything else, it was just presumed that I made some money out of this mod, and I just wanted to clarify that I didn't and me personally, just love the fact that a non super / hyper / British car is available to race for everybody

@Chris Kennedy can you explain some more about this "clutch" as I am trying to think what you mean.

You said some Kunos cars don't allow it, can you tell me which ones, as all I have tested allow you to.

Thanks

Shaun

458 italia, has only brake and gas pedals, and if you press your real clutch pedal, nothing happens, makes sense. in your car, there are only brake and gas pedals, but the real clutch pedal still works.

That you, on it right now to test.

 

[Shaun Clarke]

Got confirmation. I have looked again at my photos and spoken to Team Hard and my foot was covering the clutch pedal (they are tiny) so it was my fault.

The car does have a fully working clutch and they use this to pull away, pitlane and start only.

We will model this in. So thankfully, the car is correct, we are just missing a pedal

Hi Shaun
Take the occasion to make my compliments for the fanstastic work, lots of passion behind the project.

I would report a couple issues, minor thing, but easy to fix.
The brake disks overshine, they almost turn white in some conditions because the material settings, and the golden part of the disks generate weird light effects caused by the normal maps (the blur one), same for rims, bad light reflections in the central part.

Some examples of the problem.

As you can see the specular power is to strong.

So (hope you don't mind) I edited the brake disks material, the normal maps blur for disks and rims, and the rims blur diffuse one.

Here how it looks with the changes.

These are the material settings I've used.

And here the files I edited.

Would be nice if you could give them a look, and feel free of use them, if you think is worth of course.

Thanks for your work.

@Alman: Many thanks for your feedback and suggestions.
Can you tell me your PP settings and the specific conditions which provide the issues you've mentioned for trying to replicate it?
Also a question about the blurred rims. All blurred rims are affected? Also the colored?

Thanks for your help and greets

Hi @Alman following what @After_Midnight says, thank you for your help and suggestions, and as you have seen, my texture guru is now on the case, but looking at your pictures, I totally agree, they look miles better, and will give these a go when I get home tonight

 

[Shaun Clarke]

@Alman and @After_Midnight I have been testing it is more predominate on the "default" colour wheels. Can't really see it on Dan Kirby's wheels, but now I am looking you can "just" make it out.

I will still apply this fix, as most people will use default wheels, so thank you @Alman

Hi
Sorry for delay, I had a loong day.

I use gbW AE PP all default 2:00 PM in the morning it's even worst, as the sun is lower and more direct.
I tested mainly with sunny weathers, with cloudy weather is less evident.
With colored rims is also less evident, but still there.
Strong normal maps can generate static light reflections instead of "smoothly" reflect the light source, that rotate with the rim or brake disk can cause that problem.

Anyway I'm glad to help.
