Try to type the password instead of copy paste it.

 

[Bernd Wörner]

For some reason, I don't have 'permission' to access the password page. Anyone else having this problem?
What's the diff between 'licensed' & 'unlicensed' member?
Ta in advance,

Why not read the first post

Just tried it and of course it rocks. Have a question regarding sounds: this one, the old one, and maybe the original TCL mod, has unusual balancing of the internal sounds in certain cars. The Merc has a big bias towards the right headphone ( i wear headphones for gaming) and the Nissan has a bias toward the left. It is no big deal but is distracting all the same. Any ideas how to rebalance these two files. Also, if I put the older Alfa sounds into the respective folders will there be any issues?

 

[Ryan Callan]

No issue with the Alfa - server does not check sound files.

I'm just double-checking the Merc and Nissan sounds now - I too use headphones and never noticed anything.

EDIT: Double-checked and I can't hear any discrepancies?

OK - following feedback, and as expected, the tyre physics have been adjusted.

Changes:

Soft compound grip reduced
Hard compound grip increased
Operating temperature of medium and soft compounds lowered.
Grip dropoff below temperature reduced on hard compounds.

Patch - http://virtual-f1.com/GTL/TCLTM%20-%20v2.51%20Patch.7z

Note: this is still WIP, further changes over the next 6-8 weeks may follow.

Did an almighty cock-up on the Alfa sounds sorry guys - packaged the wrong files - had been working on some (tuning them) and uploaded the unfinished samples rather than the finished ones. Apologies for that. To make up for it, I worked on the rev mixing some more and now they sound even better, the M3 external rev sampling also. Also added some new gear change and backfire sounds - so around 40 new sounds in total.

Once I am happy with the tyre physics I will upload all this goodness together with the final product, probably towards the end of the year.

Sorry for the cock-up :/

[Gregory Degreef]

Just wondering if there are any plans to include support for gated shifters in this mod?

Just wondering if there are any plans to include support for gated shifters in this mod?

I use the G25 H-shifter with this mod with no problems....so i dont get your question?

Also... some feedback on the tyres.

The hards seem to burn up and not last as long as the softs and mediums. Noticable on my vitesse tonight.

I hardly got the tires to optimal temps with soft fronts and med rears and they lasted a whole 28 laps race with plenty of life in them.

He means with the H-shifter upgrade delay etc.

The answer is no - I implemented it up to v2.3 but I decided against including in future releases.

I reckon mediums all round on the Sierra tonight was nearly perfect,with the benefit of hindsight i could have manage them differently,i assumed they would have no problems with constant full push,maybe hards on the rear and mediums front could have been worth a punt.
