EnduRacers Modding Team & Gentlemen Racers are pleased to provide to you the Endurance Series rF2 build 3.00 ! The build includes an important update of the physic behavior of the car, including the last specification of the CPM tires, based on the S397 Endurance pack DLC. The FFB and the aerodynamics of the cars have been updated, as well as plenty other features.

We took the opportunity to update the side WEC/LM position leds, wich are now rendering realisticly the top 3 position in each classes, like in real. We made some other graphic improvements and cured some issues like the Corvette C7R cockpit. A new build will come when the new shaders system will be made available to modders. We made an update on the Ligier JSP3 sounds, wich can be considered as intermediate and is sheduled to be improved again in an upcoming build.

This modification has driven an update of all cars defaut setups, so please be carefull with your current setups before making some feedbacks. Don't forget to read carefully the instructions to install and setup correctly the mod.

The gte cars.. are all the same? do they drive different? If so.. which one is best?

Personal preference, If you like raw straight line speed then the C6R is for you, but they all do the same lap times

Rick Lopes · Apr 12, 2017

i was under the impression that they were all different... meaning... all different in lap times also (according to the track)... and that maybe, just maybe, the ferrari would be a little better

Aston Martin V8 Vantage the shadows need fixing as this car the windows show in shadows. They should be solid.
Gen file should read like this:
WINDOWS.gmt CollTarget=True HATTarget=False LODIn=(0.0) LODOut=(50.0) ShadowReceiver=True Reflect=True NoHDRLum=True ShadowCaster=(True, Solid)

@klo-che or anyone else that might be able to help with this one.

I created a helmet for the M3 GT2. Saved it as alt_105HELMET.dds (in DXT5 format) and it works absolutely fine as it wraps ok around the drivers helmet model, great so far.

What I'm confused about is copies of the helmet map are also being wrapped around the front of the car. Namely the front carbon spoiler, inside of the front wheel arches, the grill pieces and also behind the grill. I can see the helmet logos. Remove the DDS file and back to normal. Really odd.

Is this a simple flaw with the model? Or have I named something wrong? I've done lots of skinning work before and this is a new one for me.

The only other thing I can think of is a VEH file (if the mod uses them) and maybe it needs a modification to that. As the mod doesn't allow that sort of change I may have to leave the helmet as it's default scheme.

Thanks

May be an issue with material naming, I forward your question to Marc.

Hello, Can you please pm me pictures of your files names and of the issue ingame, and i will investigate. This should not happen, as there is no link between helmets and chassis parts, for exemple.

I created a helmet too for the Ferrari and it works fine just so you know. I will make helmets up on the other cars ( if you want ) and check if the problem is only the BMW.

Hiya, sorry I'm away from home at the moment and only just seen your message. Yep no problem, I'll send some screen shots for you when I get back.

Dear community,

We would like the confirm you that we will be releasing in the upcoming weeks a new build update of our MODs, Endurance Series rF2 and Flat6 Series rF2, linked to the release of the rFactor2 DX11 first build and the fact that our shaders are not working correctly on DX11. The new builds will include the following changes :

* Graphics : Updated bodywork shader.
* Graphics : Updated dashboard display devices shader.
* Physics : Correction of cars inertia values.

Alexandre Costa · May 5, 2017

I really enjoy this mod, but I'm having some trouble with the P2 losing rear grip more than I would like to. I've tried to change setup, but no success. Does anyone has any tip about a good setup for these cars? I'm racing mostly on LeMans 91. Thanks in advance.

Hmm do i see a Oreca 05 in that picture?

No, it is not. It is nothing new, it was announced last year. Collaboration with Signatech Alpine team : http://www.enduracers.com/newsletter_45.html

Cool. Yes I do remember reading that article ages ago but forgot about it. I just assumed that it was for their own private use only? Nice work as always though from the team

Yes the model is used to train their drivers on their simulator.

We have updated the bodywork shaders, rims shaders, and cockpit displays (rpm leds or motec devides) shaders.

The team used this opportunity to add in this build a physic update for all the cars, correcting the inertia value. This modification has driven an update of all cars defaut setups, so please be carefull with your current setups before making some feedbacks. Don't forget to read carefully the instructions to install and setup correctly the mod. Be carefull, the mod is big, reaching more than 3Gb now.

* Graphics : Updated bodywork shader to match DX11 update.
* Graphics : Updated dashboard display devices shader to match DX11 update.
* Physics : Corrected values of all cars inertia.
* Physics : Updated defaut setup on all cars.
