This is a reworked edition of the 2009 Evo Edition by Prez. Almost all changes
are made by Günthar Rowe who should have BIG credits for this release.

The Escorts are by no means to resemble the GTR2 release.

They are supposed to be fun raw and a challenge to drive.

Paintreadme version for Ford Escort V8 Challenge 1.0
By Prez 2009

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The wing is stupid i know but i made it by trial and error a long
time ago for Escorts in GTR2.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Create ini and write as follows:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Ford Escort 35 351cu V8]
body=

driver=
ext_driver=
helmet=
wheelcolor=

[Ford Escort 70 351cu V8]

ext_driver=
helmet=
wheelcolor=

[Ford Escort 74 351cu V8]
body=
wing=

many thanks guys.... i've been lucky enough to have a sneaky peak at this while in development and i LOVE what you've done....

will definitely be running an event with this next week.... :bang:
 
Nice one guys... I'll get started on a review for this after I'm done with the 935s. :peace:

um.... I've just sent off (3 days after their last release) the Porsche 935's back to Raven for there next version release... so, you might want to wait on that one :dance2:

+ I'm now working on some 996 GT3 / GT3-RS cars to get them skinable via the custom skins .ini system :woot2:

Hehe you never sleep do you?
 
I just wanna say :Banane09::Banane09:
What a great mod. The FF is great and what a fun car to drive. I love the different tire compounds and how the car reacts on the downshift an brakes. Just perfect. I can't wait for a full grid race with these cars. :laugh2:

I read this in racing club thread:

"The sound is annoying though, it only comes out of 1 speaker in Cockpit View"

Never heard of this problem before. Anyone else having the same prob??

in cockpit view you will get an imbalance in the engine sound due to the drivers head being to the left hand side of the car, as per real life...
 
These cars are fun to race, the racing club event was great.
Got only one little problem, but i don't know it was a problem of the mod or the game.

I was on a big straight with a full health car, nothing wrong. But suddenly i got a message that i had a aero and suspension problem. I didn't hit anything and it just popped up. I just want to let you know. :)

But overall je build a hell of a mod. Thanks.

:woot:

Hmm ill have a look at this. Did you notice any difference in the performance of the car or was it just that the message came and nothing changed?...

Maybe we bought to cheap bults for the front splitter and the suspensions we got for free :whistle:
