SUPER TOURING RELOADED AND PRE SUPER TOURING
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STCC2 expansion is needed for Volvo 850 estate. If you don't have it you can delete that team in the mod to use the rest of the cars in 'Pre 2' class.
From this version Race Remaster or Reloaded Shaders are needed for this mod.
This is a graphical update of my first ever mod 'AL Super Touring' for the Race07 series.
I had to build and learn everything from scratch to make the mod. It was 'learning by doing',
and it resulted in a little bit messy mod, so I've tidied it up.
You need the STCC addons from Simbin to get the sound of some of the cars.
If you don't have STCC installed, you can download 'Sounds of super touring' sound pack.
This is NOT a TOCA2 conversion, everything in the mod is made from scratch.
Please don't change anything in this mod without my permission.
Before installing this update, please delete the old version including talent files.
Optional: Some tips for changes in the .plr file that can improve your Race07 + this mod:
(the .plr file is usually located in C:\Users\*USERNAME*\Documents\SimBin\RACE 07\UserData\*PROFILENAME*)
Steer Ratio Speed="0.00000" // Speed at which low speed steering lock override ends. Default: 25.00000
Compressed Textures="0" // Can give better framerate than "1"
AI Power Calibration="0" // Adjustments with AI strength (0=none, or add the following: 1=power, 2=gearing, 4=fuel)
AI to AI Collision Rate="40" // Detection rate per second (1-40) for AI-to-AI collisions
Player Car Equal="0" // Might have something to do with ai catch-up
What's new:
V. 2.8
* Fixed a few "hidden" errors that got visible using Reloaded Shaders 1.8.7.
Volvo s40 rims material crashed game, Ford Mondeo front window had a transparency issue, and Renault Laguna 1998 refmap texture needed an update.
* Testing new AITorqueStab settings (most cars except PRE super Touring) as once suggested for ISI games by Reiza studios.
Ai cars movement looks slightly better now, but I am not sure if there is some downside that I don't know about yet.
V. 2.75
* Remade most car liveries using baked AO shading instead of painted ones. Most cars except PRE super Touring and Audi 80 are updated now.
* Various minor car exterior improvements. Added a few details and corrected minor shape and normals errors.
* More updates are planned, this is like a 'half way' update...
V. 2.7
* Various minor car exterior improvements. Added a few details and corrected minor shape and normals errors.
* Prepared for Toca World Touring Cars addon mod, added post '99 versions of some of the older cars.
V. 2.6
* All included cars has got updated materials to work with Reloaded shaders (included in Race Remaster.
Glass shader is used, so from this update the mod works only together with those shaders)
* Minor interior updates to all cars, some cars got more and some only got a little.
(rear mirrors normals tweaks, steering wheel textures improvements, upscaled dash textures, + many other minor updates)
* Changed Audi A4 4wd rear brakes to more standard values (had bigger rear brakes than other cars, still bigger visually) to prevent lower speed wheel lock up.
* All cars should work with pit crew.
V. 2.5.2
* Some minor car exterior shape updates and fixes, mainly to Honda Accord, but also to some other cars.
V. 2.5.1
* Fixed error in tire wear 4WD wets.
V. 2.5
* Prepared driver suits and faces for new Ui (separate mod)
* Fixed a few minor errors
V. 2.45
* Added collision feelers that seems to give the car a little bit more awareness of themselves and other cars.
It seems that they are a little bit better at avoiding hitting stationary cars.
V. 2.4
* New updated materials and cubemaps for better looks and more visual 'depth'
* Updated normals for smoother surfaces
* Some exterior reshaping
* Repositioned windscreen wipers slightly
* A few updates to the interiors, but more could be done in the next update
* Replaced the facelifted Nissan Primera with a better model (based on the ETCC 2002 updated version)
* Fixed a few minor errors.
* Tweaked ai throttle controll and aggression. The result is more passes but also some accidents...
* Some physics tweaks and 'softer' standard setups
V. 2.11
* Just a few minor corrections (Volvo s40 '99 car name and 2 car icons)
V. 2.10
* Tweaked almost everything slightly for faster and better ai-behaviour.
Talent: Better traction controll, faster in rain
Tyres: Minor tweaks, rain tyres lasts longer
Physics: Less AITorqueStab., higher ai damper and suspension calculations, and a lot of minor setup and damage tweaks.
* New working pitstop tape (works in race, but is not updated in replay), and new windows material and color.
* Updated car names.
* Changed car ID's to better avoid conflicts, but there will probably be some conflicts anyway.
* Some resculpting and smoothing of the shapes of the cars, a few new parts and some materials updates.
* More consistent letter sizes on windows.
* Added Super Touring Reloaded '95, Super Touring Reloaded '00, and two more privateers in '96.
* Updated some of the lower detail dashes.
* Removed the simulator. There will be a new different one as an add-on.
* Also removed the track updates. These will be a separate file aswell.
* Removed some unnecessary cars in the 'seasons' classes for the same reason.
V. 2.05
* This is an update to the ai behavour with new .aiw files for some tracks and a better ai understanding of how much grip is available.
This results in less ai spins and swerving when knocked of track.
* Higher ai damper calculation
* Some minor fixes
V. 2.0
* Renamed some folders to fix some loading issues, so please delete the old folders belonging to this mod in '..\race 07\Gamedata\Teams'
before installing this update.
* Updated tyre pressure and tweaked tyre files.
Removed as many 'cheats' in the tyre files as possible and compensated it with car setup
All tyres (front, back, fwd, rwd, 4wd) now uses the same grip, curves, slip angle
Removed AI front grip bias, so braking grip is more fair AI vs. player
* Tweaked ai throttle controll
* The AI cars now look further ahead at low speeds, which reduces swerving when trying to get back on racing line
* Removed different spring rate for AI
* Tweaked Oulton Park .aiw files for new car physics
* Tweaked downforce balance more to the front for FWD cars
* New/updated suspension geometry for most of the cars to represent the different styles.
Also recalculated and adjusted roll centers for better handling
But there are limits to what can be done (the game seams to be made for double wishbone suspension).
* New standard setups to fit the new tyres and physics
* Tweaked talent files for more randomness in the game results.
* Added Ford Mondeo Mk1 liftback
* Added Ford Sierra Sapphire by request. This is a conversion of a model made by Jalonso, sent by TOTO090369.
I have edited, resculpted and optimized the model a little to better fit Race 07.
The car has just one simplified livery.
* Added some new car parts
* Edited materials for smoother specular light
* A lot of minor texture fixes
* Added Super Touring Reloaded '96
+ A lot more...
V. 1.9
* A lot of minor bug fixes and polishing
* Tweaked physics for all cars, including new suspension geometry.
The suspensions are now more like the real ST cars, and also prevent the strange turning slightly to the left when accelerating problem.
Also updated simplified ai dampers and increased ai calculation so the ai cars don't flip over that easily.
* Some balance of performance for the cars has been made, but can still be improved
* Reworked tyres and textures for rain tyres
* Some setup files for ai cars have been added
* Updated aiw (ai cars driving file) for some of the btcc tracks available. Please make a copy of your original .aiw files for the tracks first.
They are in the 'Track updates' directory, and should be placed in the tracks (Locations) folders manualy.
The files includes new racing lines that suits the cars slightly better and new pit and garage positions to prevent the cars from hitting walls
when exiting garage. Also tried to keep the ai cars out of some problem areas at Oulton park to decrease 'stupid ai swerving'.
* Tweaked talents files to have faster ai cars and more variation in race results
* Added updated and resculpted Chrysler Stratus, originaly made by Ruben Denoso
* Finally added Super Touring Reloaded '97. The skins for most of the cars are originaly made by Alexander Hederby and some privateer skins are made by Simon Gardner.
I have made a few skins and edited the others to fit updated cars and templates. Some new parts and versions of the cars has been made to fit the '97 season.
A new helmet visor has also been added.
* Also added Super Touring Reloaded '99, made by me.
Because of the new structure and some other changes, addons made by others will not work with this update to begin with.
Sorry for that.
