Touring Masters v2.9

RF-BEST-MOD.png

I have released v2.9 of the Touring Masters mod for rFactor. An overhaul of the original Touring Car Legends mod, Touring Masters is suited to league racing, along with many other fixes and improvements. The mod is used by the popular World Touring Masters Series and by the rFactor Racing Club here at RD.

Also, for clarity's sake, bless her, here are the currently planned (and most already implemented, ready and waiting) changes for the final mod:

Adjusted tyre physics - (not final)
Added new gearshift, startup and backfire sounds
Refined SFX of Alfa, Holden and M3
New Alfa sounds
New collision sounds
Side draft parameters implemented
Loading bar colour change
Added adjustable radiators to all models
Added 5kg to Volvo, 10kg to Holden (not final)
Increased Holden drag
Onboard brake bias adjustment removed from Rover, Mustang, Volvo and 635
Enabled Holden rear camber adjustment
Stance adjustments for all models
 
Part of the appeal of TCL/WTM is it staying true to basic real-life principles from that era and although many things have been adjusted for WTM (unrealisticly apparently, although TCL specs were nowhere near realism), the inherent variety, traits and attributes must remain.
 
Well, I wanted to wait a little longer and only have one final release but there are a few too many things I'm wanting to test before the end of the year, so I've gone ahead and released 2.7. Quite a few changes and improvements. The most significant of these are the new sounds for the Alfa, along with refined SFXs for others and other new sounds. The other big story is that the Supra Turbo is no longer a Turbo (Toyota GmBH decided to revert back to their previous spec), meaning it has lost 42bhp and 110kg. The idea behind this was to give a more even spread of 'types' of cars, reducing the 'power' cars from 5 to 4.

In reference to the tyres - grip has been reduced overall, but all compounds have been brough closer together. Wear rate increased for all also, but relatively more for soft and medium compounds.

Full changes:

Adjusted tyre physics
Added new gearshift, startup and backfire sounds
Refined SFX of Alfa, Holden, Supra and M3
New Alfa sounds
New collision sounds
Side draft parameters implemented
Loading bar colour change
Added adjustable radiators to all models
Enabled Holden rear camber adjustment
Added 5kg to Volvo, (contrary to the changelog, 10kg has not been added to the Holden)
Increased Holden drag, reduced Supra
Onboard brake bias adjustment removed from Rover, Mustang, Volvo and 635
Lowered Nissan and Mustang CoG
Changed Toyota from Turbo to NA (-42bhp, -110kg)
New intro video


Please note tyre physics are still WIP and weights are not 100% final, however they are very close. Also stance adjustments are to come.

I get the download fine and the install works perfectly, my only query is... Do I need all the other versions for this to play. I just downloaded 2.7?

My issue is with engine temp! I have tried running a few cars now and they only manage about 3 laps before the engine temp goes up and I get overheat message!

AS I say am only running 2.7, no other version is installed to patch over.
