Stock Car Extreme Mods (merged)

ML2166 · Feb 14, 2012

Hey guys

Okay here are the skins created by me over the last few weeks.

38 in total, 19 Chevrolet and 19 Peugeot.

All completely fictional of course, but I hope you enjoy them.

I have given all the cars different numbers and names from the originals in game, so you should be able to run them alongside the original skins.

Pretty new to the modding aspect on the rfactor platform, and this is my first attempt.

Haven't found a way to have the game read a new RFM file hence the reason for the new numbers and names.

Hope you enjoy them........happy racing fellas!

Preparing a btcc trackpack with new textures and road improvement. ;-)

Thruxton - Thruxton for GSCEx

Hi All.

Here is the first track of a track pack I will release asap.

Road redone (with special grip effect added), texture redone, wrong fresnel effet corrected compared to the previous one, lod correction.
Well, a nice track usually used for btcc but can be used for other cars too!
Optimised for the 911, so would be ok for all GSC cars.
Really technical track.

Thanks Patrick!

Anyone got any legally converted oval tracks please?

Fabio Rodrigues · Dec 27, 2014

Yay, thanks! This is one of those tracks that looks easy, but getting a really good time is kinda tough. Nice one!

Troy Barman · Dec 27, 2014

One of my all time favorite tracks, thanks Patrick

Jan Mikuž · Dec 27, 2014

First off thanks for another update, Patrick. I appreciate it.

A couple of minor complaints/feedback:
1. I don't like all those white stripes along the sides of the track...they flicker and it's a bit distracting. Maybe because i don't have the graphics maxed out ?
2. Is the grip final ? I just did 10 laps with Camaro SS and i find it to be a bit slippery compared to reiza tracks i've driven on today(having a Camaro SS day

). It's perfectly manageable and fine, but it does feel like it's a bit more slippy than usual...or is it just the Camaro ?
If it was me i'd put just a tiny bit more grip on the track. Or perhaps not, because it adds a challenge to an otherwise simple layout. Not sure yet...

What is your opinion ?
3. No sound from curbs, rumblestrips

Patrick Giranthon · Dec 27, 2014

I did not see anything about the whites stripes. Can you do a screen?
Try with Max settings.

For the grip I think It can comes from the track configuration. A lot of curves, with radius changes make the track a real challenge. Perhaps I did something wrong but I did as usual. You can add grip with the tdf If needed, or I can try to optimise again.

For the curbs I cant remember If they are flat or not.

Jan Mikuž · Dec 27, 2014

Yeah, it was due to med graphics. Maxed out the line is solid. Still a bit jagged, but solid. It's fine.
I can't expect too much from an old 8800gt that i'm using currently.

Before:

Maxed out:

Patrick Giranthon · Dec 27, 2014

Oh, a pity that Christmas did not give you a 980 gtx

For the grip I precisely did some tests today, preparing Snetterton. A track like A1 ring historic is pretty easy with the 911. Long regular curves. Then I tried at Londrina long. More tricky, and harder to drive.

But your feedbacks are important. I do a lot of tests on my side.
I only update tracks and some of them would deserve a scratch work like Alex Sawczuk does. Unfortunately I dont have skills for that , and I could give you one track every 4 months

Jan Mikuž · Dec 27, 2014

Haha, I wish.
It's fine with the tracks...It doesn't need to be pro work to be enjoyable. And,btw, you seem to have enough knowledge to sort out the grip just fine. And that's all we need really - great layout/flow and good grip.

Troy Barman · Dec 28, 2014

Could someone do a conversion of the 77-79 VLM Le Mans track with the road shaders and sky?

Kenny Paton · Dec 28, 2014

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you Patrick. Thanks for another great track.

Can I ask, if the trackpack you've mentioned will be all BTCC ones? (fingers crossed)
Believe you me Patrick you're work is appreciated don't downplay the skill you have in making these tracks work so well in GSCE.

Patrick Giranthon · Dec 28, 2014

Thanks Kenny.

I have a real problem with Oulton. The track 3D mesh is built totally weirdly and it gives horible things ingame when I put roadshaders... I try to fix this but I cant for the moment.
Croft will probably be hard to update correctly I suppose.

But check your PM Kenny ;-)

Hi!

New track from btcc series.
Road redone, textures redone, usual stuff inside.

Really tricky track. Hard here to find the rythme.
Optimised in Porsche 911 and believe me, this bumpy track is a nightmare for it

David Cordell · Dec 28, 2014

Thank you Patrick for all your work and dedication to upgrade these tracks for my favorite sim and thanks to all the original authors of the tracks.

In my opinion, tracks are what makes a racing sim. I can be happy with a handful of really good cars but a large variety of tracks is a must. I really hope you can figure out the problems with the track mesh for Oulton as that is my favorite BTCC track.

One quick request while I have your attention.....haha. After watching the latest Empty Box video, Matt turned me on to Sachsenring which is a track I had never seen before and I am in love with this track now. The only one I found was at Xtremefactor and is v2.0 by smokey1226. Any chance this track could be in your list to work your magic on?

Patrick Giranthon · Dec 28, 2014

I can give a look. And try to contact Smokey (but I think he took the track somewhere else).
Send me the link via a PM please ;-).

Patrick Giranthon · Dec 28, 2014

Just found a better setup for the grip tweak. Will do an update asap. Perhaps thruxton will be updated too. Need some tests

Snetterton 2.0 A.I break when crossing the s/f line...not really raceable with A.I

They sure do.

Is editing the AIW file the same as with any Rfactor track using AIWCameditor1255? I was watching some videos yesterday about creating aiw paths and was about to make an Rfactor install just for editing track aiw's.
