Formula Classic DLC - Released

Renato Simioni · Oct 19, 2011

Here it goes:

links:

Mediafire (zip file)
Mediafire (exe file)

INSTALLATION: Just point to your GSC install folder and go. The Formula Classic will be available from the bottom left of the main menu, from where you can cycle from series to series (make sure you have Update v1.70 installed).

DESCRIPTION: The car is based on a classic all-conquering GP car, one of the last from the turbo era. With 680 HP and 620 kg, it is one of the most visceral, thrilling drives you´ve ever had in a sim, and quite a change of pace relative to our good Stock Cars!

A template will follow soon.

Enjoy!

I'd love to have some talent files (fictional or real) and more teams/skins for AI-races/championship.

Edit: This car is a blast to drive. The first 3 laps ended in the wall, but after that I could even catch some slides.
I lowered the 'MaxForceAtSteeringRack' in the Realfeal.ini to get some higher forces out of my Momo, because it felt too weak to really feel the car's behaviour.

I just had a race with AI and noticed the following:
- On the trackmap (part of HUD), the cars are all numbered 1 to 4 according their car numbers, not their position in the race.
- It seems as if the wheels are not included in the collision-model, because wheels get through each other when 2 cars collide, both user/AI and AI/AI.
- I don't know if there is any relation between the collision-model and the AI-behaviour, because it seems as if the AI does not avoid contact of wheels.

4, 5 and 6 i think are default key to toggle on/off elements of the hud (you can change them in your controler options), and for the map numpad 0 rotate different options including off

I'm not able to get rid of the map...

I tried the formula classic and its a blast the speed sensation you get is amazing, and the force feedback is as good as NKP, one of the best sensations ive had during sim racing is going through the straight on interlagos, its amazing. When you go at 300kph you can really feel the speed, no kidding

Eric Diaz · Oct 21, 2011

Is nobody else having the problem with the numbers on the speed display in the cockpit looking messed up when it gets to a 7?

Patrick Giranthon · Oct 21, 2011

I have too. I think it is a minor bug.

Overall, I have tested it again on the RD server, Velopark...
What a tremendous car...

Eric Diaz · Oct 21, 2011

Yea, i know its minor. I guess im just OCD so it bothers me more than others.

OK, was on my server (F1Classic) and there were 14 people there to race. when it went from practice to qualify almost everyone on the grid got an error saying "vehicle collision mismatch "player" will be kicked from race"... and sure enough when the race started over half the field was kicked.
Suggestions?

wondered what happened,

Ivo Simons · Oct 22, 2011

Probably something got messed up on the server if it happened to everyone.
If i where you i should try to reinstall the patch etc again on the server.

clifdavis · Oct 22, 2011

it happened to 8 of 14 drivers. myself and 3 others didn't get kicked with the error.

Patrick Giranthon · Oct 22, 2011

Perhaps someone had a indycar skin. If not on the server, big bug I think...

clifdavis · Oct 22, 2011

if it was a skin issue, I think it would have not been allowed and given a "does not recognize car" error. It allowed the cars to be there without issue until qually started then it started giving the errors. Then at race, the started getting booted.

I think you can set it up so that people can't join the server with skins not installed. But I'm not sure.

Probably worth digging around in the PLR and Multiplayer.ini files.

clifdavis · Oct 22, 2011

I will look at the files and see what I can find. Do we know what causes "vehicle collision mismatch" errors? I have no clue...

clifdavis · Oct 22, 2011

i found this in a search... "More often then not VC mismatches are caused by the client using a VEH file the server does not have. "

As I said, I had this when I used an online personal skin not present on the server...

clifdavis · Oct 22, 2011

I suppose if this is the case, i will need to find a way for people to get me all the skins so we wont have the problem.

Patrick Giranthon · Oct 23, 2011

Perhaps the .veh has problems with these skins, like Alex said.
I think the .veh has to be edited to put the same veh as the original four skins...

clifdavis · Oct 23, 2011

As it stands now, I am only running the official released skin pack. I noticed yesterday there were more folks online and none got kicked so, it will be ok in the end.

Thanks.
