preview of next skies update for v9.9 : now in 4k


SimBin original : 1024*1024
HQ : 2048*2048
4k : 4096*4096

 

[GTR233]

I work on 9.12 release for christmas : reworked HQ RAIN (thanks to Shovas and Bjarne advices) and Sparco suits with small fixes and 2 new colors variants

 

[Eric Rowland]

You are a GTR2 machine sir!
Thank you for all you do!

 

[GTR233]

I continue to work on next release, I deeply reworked HQ FOV DEFVIEWS MOD with Bjarne : v9 will bring 15 vFov presets from 102 (vr) to 18

will be available for Xmas in GTL/GTR2 HQ MODS COLLECTION and 10th Anniversary Patch v10.0

 

[GTR233]

Finally, thanks to the guidance of my friend @Zipdrive , I was able to add motec infos (tyres/brakes temperatures...) to Stack display (lotus elise, mosler and gt3R)


Now I will continue to rework tyre treads, and brake discs/glow for next 10.1 update

 

[GTR233]

Today I have made the mosler Stack with motec infos at bottom line :


And I continue to rework brake discs :
- added aluminium reflection on eack disc
- made textures darker to increase contrast with brake glow
- reworked brake glow skin and intensity on every HQ car
I have just finished 24H cars so left GT and NGT classes to do

 

[GTR233]

Reworked brake glow :

 

[GTR233]

Finished to rework all brake discs/glow and added specific porsche caliper for hq cars :


Added lotus logo on stack :


And porsche GT3R :

 

[mikeae1]

Thank you,
and the FOV - Settings are important for better "race-feeling" and better laps.
Nice to see that you worked on the motecs and discs

 

[GTR233]

here are the definitive versions of stack display with motec on elise and GT3R with the correct logos :

 

[GTR233]

Today I have also fixed a 14 years old bug : I have added missing wing shadow on many cars like elise, corvette, bmw z3, mosler, f550, lister, lambo, gt3 cup, gt3 RS, etc...
Few examples :

 

[gwaldock]

Awesome work, sir!

I do not know how you manage to devote so much time and energy into our hobby but I can assure you that it is much appreciated

 

[cangrejin]

I just did a clean install of GRT2 just now ...
I'm thinking of using the HQ mods Collection 10.0 ...... or am I waiting for you? (Will these improvements be in hq mods ... or only in 10th?)

 

[GTR233]

The 10th Anniversary Patch 10.1 is online

A fresh install is highly recommended as it is a major update.

Only HQ Cars will benefit from wing shadow fixes, new porsche calipers and new motec stack in elise/mosler/gt3R : so not available in HQ MODS COLLECTION.

 

[cangrejin]

I'm scared:
"- updated GTR2 HQ Tracks to v10.1: added real sun position by templarnot4 (thanks for kind permission to include it), updated zeppelin with nicer light reflection, reworked tracks lighting with darker shadows and warmer colors"

that "lighting" are the night pole lamps? are they like those on the tracks of neel jani? (on my ultra low potato PC I can't use his)

or do you mean "solar" general lighting ?.

 

[cangrejin]

i forgot ... is the DucFreak's UI less "heavy" than the original ui?
I mean if the menu is in-game it is light in RAM, the duks ui is.

I see that they have black and white images, but also more characteristics.

 

[GTR233]

When I talk about lighting I mean sun color lights in sunrise/day/sunset and not the lamps

It is a customized DucFreak's UI with new options available in menu and lighter in RAM because images background are black & white.

The best is to try by yourself as it takes 5 min to install a fresh GTR2 install somewhere on your disk drive then 2 minutes to extract 10th A.Patch archive.
By the way, I removed many HQ textures for base game so there is the minimum : HQ SKIES, LENS FLARE, CUBE MAPS, SMOKES, SPARK and that's all for default cars/tracks.

 

[cangrejin]

"I am stupid"....
hq 4k skies warns that it can slow down the pc fps .... 10th has "2k" skies .... how do i get it out of 10th to use it independently?

 

[GTR233]

You know there are patches in 10th Anniversary Patch that you do not have in HQ MODS COLLECTION so I highly recommend to install 10thAP : you can play stock game if HQ versions are to high for your pc specs, that said if you set all graphics on medium you may be able to run HQ versions too

As a matter of fact, consider 10thAP as part1 and HQ MODS COLLECTION as part2 : if there wasn't 500mb upload limit then I would pack all in 1 mod
