Thanks man,
Not possible on the Vortex at the moment, as the blend mode is 'opaque' and not 'alpha blend' for the plaque, like it is on the other RSS GT cars.
GT1 + Bathurst = Fun!
Did a completely un-intended but glorious powerslide around the Elbow when the back stepped out on me braking and downshifting going down the hill...
I was actually surprised I managed to hang on to it!
I also beat my previous best lap at this track (in an R8 LMS GT3) by 3/4 of a second! I thought these cars would be a lot to handle on the mountain, but it's a lot of fun!
Is it weird that sometimes I see pics like this and have to remind myself, "oh I actually modelled that!"GT1 + Bathurst = Fun!

I have the ACU version too, but with a texture pack for the 2017 12hr billboards: http://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/billboard-update-for-bathurst-by-acu.13726/
Yes you certainly did and it's awesome!Is it weird that sometimes I see pics like this and have to remind myself, "oh I actually modelled that!"
Yeah I normally give them an extra second or 2 onto my reaction time at the start toto ma it a bit more fair.
After all, it's a fictional skin with no real driver (I think so).I started to work on this just today.
Very green yet, probably not even worth showing, but it's something. My goal is to make it look like this blast from the past, with some minor changes and probably some additional logos.
I plan to use one of those "Lineltex" tags for the scrutineering number. Also, since I came too late to have my own skin on the Lanzo I'll be putting myself as the driver of this one.
Bro hug. If I start a YouTube video of a race and see the driver charge from 30th to 20th before Turn 1, I shut it off. As you said, doing that is about 5% talent, 95% imperfect AI struggling at the start of a race. Like you, I won't overtake a single AI car until after Turn 1 is finished. Doing this helped me shed the desire to try to win the race at Turn 1 which is a bad habit I learned in GT6. I'm a thousand times happier with my races now that I've instituted this self-control rule. I highly recommend it to everyone. Just trim down the overall field size if you want. Just try it. For me... Pretty please...
Can we all just cut the crap and finally admit that Marlboro liveries are the coolest of all time. I say that and I've never been a smoker. Well, except for crack. Me & grandma use to sit on her porch and pass that glass tube back and forth. Those were the good ole days.
jk (Grandma preferred crystal meth). Well, I don't class myself as a good driver but I've been trying to balance them.Have any of you good, consistent drivers been able to determine what the typical time difference is for the three GT1's versus the Lambo R-GT? My lap times are all over the place.

) and then make the race longer. That being said, I've now gotten into the habit of trying to put myself somewhere around 8-12th position in qualifying, and then it takes me the better part of an hour to work my way to first. AI only at 95% in the GT3 cars because I'm no alien, though. I haven't done that with the GT1 cars yet, I'm hoping to give that a run soon I was trying to say, for the people who make 30 car fields, but end up in 20th after turn 1...why not just start with 20 and show patience? Hey everyone is entitled to play however they wish. I was just excited to see you impose the 1st corner restriction too. We should start a club!I prefer going the other direction; I have as big a field as I can (48 cars on the Spa24hr layout
Man, I usually run 90% with GT3 cars. Also, I rarely do Race Weekends. Just field a grid of cars and start me in the rear. I've been telling myself I need to do more Race Weekends soon.I was trying to say, for the people who make 30 car fields, but end up in 20th after turn 1...why not just start with 20 and show patience?

Been doing a lot of race weekends at Road America lately :

@dingers01 Thank you, very much for the response and the data on the 4 GT cars from RSS.
I used to just start at the rear, too, but then I started trying to find a real speed balance between myself and the AI. In doing that, I found I needed to improve my own consistency and skill at tracks, so I started added a lengthy practice sessions to get myself into the groove. I used to get a couple seconds quicker by the latter half of a race just because I was getting more 'practice' in at the start of a race, and then I'd blow away the AI. That's no fun.
I've found that the AI on Spa, with the GT3 cars at least, is actually quite good, and I can have some really good battles for laps on end.
Now the painful part is the AI's inconsistency. With the exact same settings out of CM, I'm finding the AI can vary ~1-1.5 seconds per lap in different occasions (I don't mean through a session, I mean same settings, different race weekend, or different day. Anything that causes the AI to be reloaded). I also have the AI% shown in the AI names to see where drivers land in the field, and I'm consistently seeing cars at the high end (95%) sitting in the lower half of the field, and lower rated cars (as low a 91%) qualifying in the top 10. That's annoying, too.
