My Setups:

 

[Stuart Thomson]

OK - this is weird. Like Carlos, I didn't have any problem - all cars just showed straight up for me.

I've just downloaded the mod again, looked in every vehicles *.CAR file, and ALL of them have "SIM_GTC76" in the classes line.

 

[Stuart Thomson]

Anyway, here's the patch file for all cars.

Point it at your GTL folder, and Yes to overwrite if prompted.

 

[Tim Ling]

Cheers Stuart, but I did it the hard way lol

 

[Stuart Thomson]

OK - I just hope that manual edits won't clash with the server installed cars come race day. If they do, try installing the patch over the top, as I created it from the mod install.

Very weird. Did you download from the same link in the first post? The people commenting at altbierbude.de have the same problem it seems.

 

[Stuart Thomson]

Aha! That's the problem I bet.

No, I didn't use the link above - I went to GTL4U.de.

I believe the 'bude do something to the car files for their autoupdate application - I know for instance that the new Volvo P1800 needs some car file edits to work "as normal" online elsewhere. I suspect this is the same thing.

I suspect that we should only use Bude downloads/installs if that is the only source available, otherwise we're going to run into this more and more often.

 

[Eck Simpson]

Oh, go on then. Who knows, I may learn to like them.....

 

[Knut Omdal Tveito]

I saw that altbierbude.de had V1.01 while GTL4U.de had V1.0

I looked over the files now and they are all dated to ca. 27.10.2008... except the .car files from altbierbude.de which were changed on 23.03.2010.

If we all use the patch you uploaded I think everything will be fine

 

[Carlos Diaz]

Hell, I haven't even grabbed the latest version yet. I was planning to download and update this morning. I had the same the version 1.0 that Stu had from GTL4U.de.

I went with the one from the Bude cuz it was the latest version and I thought that maybe it included some bug fixes. Guess not lol.

I think we should all use the patch just to make sure there is no mismatch come raceday. Even if we aren't currently having the problem.

 

[Carlos Diaz]

@Knut...935 at Mondello huh?

You masochist!:tongue:

Or maybe you had a few too many :beer: before grabbing the mod and felt a little "crazy".:drink:

 

[Knut Omdal Tveito]

lol. How about a Nords event

 

[Tim Ling]

Knut, you're as nuts as these cars!

 

[Stuart Thomson]

That's Mansell, isn't it?

 

[Tim Ling]

These cars are certifiable. Coming off parabolica and passing other GTC72 cars like the Porsche 911 and the Pantera like they are standing still. Thank the maker there are no chicanes!

Stuart,in the patch file there are 2 car files more than in my download from Bude: 00BD+9BD
that means that I miss 2 cars??

 

[Stuart Thomson]

Hmmm, possibly - I haven't checked the bude file, as the GTL4U one worked straight out of the box, but it certainly sounds like the Bude have edited the mod quite aggressively.

I'd advise everyone to use the GTL4U download in that case, otherwise you may end up having car issues if someone chooses those 2 cars.

 

[Stuart Thomson]

All drivers:

Here's the GTL4U link, just in case: http://www.gtr4u.de/index.php?page=DatabaseItem&id=2573

This one is what will be installed on the server, so I suggest you remove the 935 if you installed from the Bude, and install this one instead.

I'm now wondering about the CSL Turbo as well, I just noticed that's a Bude link also.

I installed the one ffrom No-Grip: http://www.nogripracing.com/details.php?filenr=24573 This has got 7 cars inside it (1, 21, 41, 42, 7, 8, 99), all of them with the "SIM_GTC76" in the Classes line of their car file.

If someone could do a quick check between the downloads for me to see if there are any differences (Bude's firewalled off from me at work), I'd appreciate it. It will hopefully prevent any issues on Tuesday if we can get this sorted ahead of the game.

 

[Tudor Morris]

Could you sign me up for this one please Carlos.

I went through the files and its the same story as 935. Only the classes in the .CAR files are different

No-Grip:

classes="SIM_FULL, SIM_GTC, SIM_GTC76, SIM_CSL, SIM_TOURING, SIM_DAG3NOT"

Bude:

classes="SIM_FULL, SIM_GROUP5, SIM_CSLTURBO, SIM_TOURING, SIM_DAG3NOT"

 

[Jack Smith]

Could one assume that the Bude downloads may be ok if correcting the "classes" code section for both cars, which I have done or would you still suggest deleting them and reinstalling both from the other sites?
