Thanks for the great feedback! I’m glad you are enjoying the GT500’s and that you are having a good offline experience which was what I was hoping for! No doubt there could be lots of little improvements and, as you say, people can always drive the URD Nissan against the Honda & Lexus AI. I’ll continue to improve it and look out for the 2019 skin pack much closer to the start of the season next year!!!Amazing work.
I used the stock (now V2 physics, updated by URD on 11/11/2018 so now it has proper downforce) version of the Nissan and got these results while hotlapping at Suzuka (WHERE ELSE? lol).
I used the M tire and tweaked the aero balance slightly, leaving all else stock (except on the RCF, where I gave it more rear bump, less front bump and moved the brake balance rearward a bit). In defense of the non-URD cars, while I've never driven a GT500 car (lol), they're still really fun to drive, even if they're not quite up to URD standards. Most importantly they do deliver very similar overall performance for offline racing. Even if you don't like the way they drive, you can always just drive the URD Nissan and let the AI have the Toyota and the Honda.
As you can see, all 3 cars are very well-balanced against one another! Perhaps even more amazingly, they each drive quite differently while delivering very similar overall performance.
Bottom line: Out of nowhere, we have one of the BEST mods I've ever tried (I love SuperGT, so I'm probably biased).
And here are the results from 2018. As you can see, the lap times are fairly similar.
If the physics of the non-URD cars are so terrible, I find it really interesting how they still manage to deliver nearly identical lap times to their real-world counterparts (and of course there are always variables like temperature and the present state of the GT500 tire war that will throw the times off a bit). I'm surprised they're so similar, given the sheer number of variables involved.
Rceall that I'm using 40L of fuel and M tires for that time. I also did zero tuning (stock everything). In Quali trim, obviously I'd be way faster. It would also be a useless exercise in terms of verifying lap times vs IRL (see below).
Nothing against this mod, since I don't know its origin (talkin about Lexus and Honda).
nice collection.
I didn't say nothing against this GT500 mod, as stated I don't know where it comes from, so cannot judge it. But I know many other mods (and people who do mods), which simply put way too little efford into them. This makes AC as a game look bad in my opinion. I always try to do my best before final release. Simply, if you do something, do it properly. Else better leave it alone.
Btw, I am not a part of URD team, I simply wanted to help them out with gt500 and dtm cars, since I know and have some strong connections with real world. Mainly I offered them a help, is because I saw a huge potential in them, I knew they were capable of (they still are), but they just needed some push and some proper data to rely on.
It does get a bit disheartening at times when you’ve put so many hours of work into something but at least there are so many appreciative people here to make up for it!
Don't let it get you down. Even the greatest mods have these idiots who take out their frustration on the mod makers. Trust me when I say you've pretty much given us Super GT GT500 in AC! Finally!
Cheers mate, I’m a bit sensitive to criticism at times but I always feel happy posting here as most people appreciate the hours of work involved even if it isn’t their favourite series etc.
