Stock Car Extreme Mods (merged)

[ML2166]

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!

It depends on the track. But tweaking the tdf. file and with a little of time doing tests, you can get the same feeling that Reiza tracks. I have participated in a league with Reiza & converted tracks and no one notice any difference. But you need tweaking the tracks one by one.

 

[Sérgio Marques]

Well feel free to point me to the source that proves me wrong please.

Javier already did my answer!

The grip of the cars partly comes from the track

It depends on the track. But tweaking the tdf. file and with a little of time doing tests,

So, Bram was right indeed . It depends on the track a lot, as the grip levels are indeed defined mostly there.
However, that doesnt mean that "only" Reiza can do it. If you know how to, its certainly doable yourself.
Statement from Bram still stands, which is that MOST tracks lack grip levels.

Hence my original remark, I have to test this one first. Havent been online (on my gaming pc) since the weekend, so havent gotten to it yet. Got some free days coming up, so will do so in the coming. If indeed grip levels are ok, we can surely consider them.

For some some reason no matter how many times i try i cant download this file, tried at my home, work, 3g, every time i get to about 20meg then it stops........
Ive manged to download the SpotterPlugin V2.17 from another site though and my question is, is there anything different that i should change in the files, ini etc thats in this version ?

 

[Graham Laing]

I have quickly uploaded it to Gamefront for you, give it a try.

The download will die after a while of non-use.

[Marc Reid]

Thx mate got it, am still at work, but will check it out later this evening

I feel huge difference between Jacarepagua 2005 and Interlagos and those are original tracks from Reiza.

 

[Sérgio Marques]

In the case of the FReiza, almost the only car I have been racing on the last times, a good setup is even more important than the track in therms of feeling the car.

 

[Graham Laing]

No problem

 

[Marc Reid]

So i tried it but when i launch the game, i get a black screen. In my task manger it sais GSC 1.7 not responding ?. After uninstalled the plugin, everything works ok.
Maby this does not work for GSC2012 1.2 or am i doing something wrong ?

Is it maby i only have Microsoft.Net Framework 4 installed and not 3.5 ?

 

[Graham Laing]

Sound like it's for the original GSC, not GSC 2012.

Net Framework should be backwards compatible in most case I think. I know that I haven't had to install any old versions under Windows 8.

I am afraid I know nothing about this file, and what it does. I just happened to come across your post when I was looking for something to add to GSC 2012 myself.

Perhaps someone else who hangs around here more often than me will know ........ with luck.

[Marc Reid]

No probs and thx for all the help, not that i really need it, just a feature addon, but still can race without it....

 

[Graham Laing]

No probs, I'll delete that file and the link above now.

I feel huge difference between Jacarepagua 2005 and Interlagos and those are original tracks from Reiza.

Now up first I have to say that i have neither driven Interlagos or Jacarepaqua for real, so I cant judge from experience, but I can imagine the grip not being the same in real life as well .

I am not saying there is no difference in between tracks, and neither am I saying that there are no custom tracks around that are good, but the fact is that the grip tweak Reiza did, is what makes this game so good. Without it, it's actually rfactor1, with a different look. As rfactor for sure has had its glory, and its amazing mods, it's not the same as GSC or FTruck. One off the main differences is that grip thing.

In the case of the FReiza, almost the only car I have been racing on the last times, a good setup is even more important than the track in therms of feeling the car.

The whole feeling of a car is determined by all factors, not a single one. So a setup, good track with good traction, and a good steering wheel all contribute to that.

 

[Marian Zelenka]

I wasn't comparing user tracks as I don't have much experience with them. But those two feel strangely different to me. I was driving Interlagos in F3 and noticed that I wasn't feeling grip loss the way I wanted. Started to tweak FFB, but when I fired up Jaca05 and suddenly it got some NetKarish feel. I liked that. I even ran those tracks with the same setup for comparison.

 

[Javier Bernedo]

What makes a difference, talking about grip, is temperature on track. 24º Vs 33º, for example, is quite a difference. One of the best things in GSC

 

[Sérgio Marques]

Sérgio Marques updated Pirate Island Track with a new update entry:

Version 1.1 patch

- Pit speed limit to 80 km/h

Hmmm Looks like the HD Mini DL don't work anymore and it also looks like we are never gonna see these V8 skins... Thx for the tease

Man dead links to mods and tracks just really pisses me off... I mean, is it so hard to upload files to a secure DATABASE where the file will not be deleted after 3 months? or perhaps even give them to some one who can keep them ONLINE, SAFE, and AVAILABLE at a DATABASE run by sim racers for sim racers?.
