Other NAMeS: Real Drivers for AMS2 v4.69f

[John B. Ellis]

John B. Ellis updated NAMeS: Real Drivers for AMS2 with a new update entry:

Revised CopaB, CopaFL & Copa Fusca files

NAMeS v3.6 includes updated CopaB, CopaFL & Copa Fusca files that were highly revised after combing through several new resources. As a result of these changes, all three categories now have NAMeS scores. Incidentally, some of the unmatched numbers below were the result of pairing the correct driver with the correct livery, especially with the Chevettes, while ignoring some of the quasi-fictional driver name. The result is the driver/car pairing is improved.

For example, Reiza's Chevette...

Improvements to Hot Cars & P4 lists

NAMeS v3.7 provides an improved Hot Cars file; similar to Copa Classics B, the new Hot Cars file matches historic Divisao 3 Fusca drivers to the appropriate default liveries.

MCR S2000 drivers in the P4 class have been updated to the 2022 Sports 2000 Duratec Championship season.

Updated 60's Touring Cars, Part 2 file

NAMeS v3.8 has an updated TC60S2 file in 2 flavors:

TC60S2.xml:
4/4 Lotus 23 names matched
11/16 MINI Cooper S names matched, including 4 driver substitutions due to Jim Clark's death in 1968 and some of Reiza's driver choices. This is the deafult choice.

TC60S2 - Reiza.xml:
4/4 Lotus 23 names matched
11/16 MINI Cooper S names matched, includes drivers like
Lakis Manticas, Richard Longman, and others, who did not race in earnest until the post-Clark era. Rename thsi file if you want to...

Optimized 3 lists: GTOpen, Mini Challenge & TC60S2 (both versions)

NAMeS v3.9 includes optimizations for the following categories:

GTOpen: 100% names matched across several British GT Championship seasons

Mini Challenge: Changed the lone, non-matched driver to the highest-ranked Championship contender among remaining, non-matched drivers

1960s Touring Cars, Part 2: TC60S2 file includes an improved selection of 1960's drivers to replace the 4 drivers who would not have raced against Jim Clark--especially during the years he raced a Lotus 23.

My apologies...

TC70S: Fixes 1 driver's name (out of 1,931)

I spotted a small naming error while compiling an AI/livery set for F-B's 70's C3-R vs RSR skinset in AMS2:

TC70S has been fixed to reunite Tony's De with his Lorenzo.

Hi are you adding the VRC cars?

Hi are you adding the VRC cars?

Seems like a good idea. Maybe I'll look into adding it to the Vol. 3 Expansion Pack.

NAMeS file for Stock Car Pro Series 2023 added

NAMeS v 4.2 includes a file for the Stock Car Pro Series 2023 added to AMS2 V1.4.7.

This new file, StockCarV8_2023.xml, only adds Portuguese diacritics where needed, as the real drivers are activated by Reiza by default.

Fixed 1 naming error in F-Classic Gen 4 class

NAMeS v4.21 fixes a naming error in F-Classic Gen 4 class:

Reiza's "Eric Dalmas" was incorrectly converted into Yannick Dalmas (F1 1990) rather than Érik Comas (F1 1991). The new file corrects this oversight.

Incidentally, I only realized the error after converting (a) Afry's Gen 3 1991 mod + mungopark's MP4/6 skins + jusk's custom-AI F1 1991 file.

Corrected various minor errors (e.g., extra space at the end of a driver name)

NAMeS v4.3 corrects various minor errors, such as an extra space at the end of a driver name or some unrecognized character appearing between the first and last name in Notepad++. Although these minor formatting errors did not appear to cause any problems in the sim itself, they have all been removed, and all files visually inspected afterwards, to ensure the highest level of quality.

Also, the alternative, NAMeS+AI files (available for ARC Camaro, most Caterhams, F3, and F-Trainers), for...

F-USA 2023 and F-Junior added

Formula Junior is 100% name-matched to historic late 1950s and early 1960s Formula Junior drivers.

Formula USA 2023 cannot be name matched, so I did my best to match drivers to the defaulr liveries. It need additional fine tuning, but it certainly an improvement over the fictional names.

The archive file has been tested with AMS2CM and works great.

"h" is for Historic: Includes 3 FIA Historic alternate files

NAMeS v4.3h includes a folder named "FIA Historic." Given the number of modern circuits in AMS2, it seemed reasonable to provide alternative files for the new Formula Junior, as well as the two 60s touring car categories. Anyone who would rather race against 2022 Lurani Cup entrants in Formula Junior or 2021/22 Goodwood Revival entrants in Minis or Corvettes can now do so, rather than race exclusively against period drivers. Just manually copy any of the alternates as needed.

I won't be...
