Have Sim Traxx finished any of their old tracks yet, the ones that showed a bit of promise like Shelton Ridge and Pacific Raceways?
Or are they still half-assed and abandoned?

Is even asking this question an open invitation for psychiatric evaluation?

I think soon create a discord community for modding, will be simpler to manage than on a forum asks for them, but me bad english I would need a co admin english/french

J'aimerais m'en occuper mais je suis nul avec Discord ahah... I just don't get it. That's what being old feels like. Hate it.

Thank you very much for the links, that's very kind :)

After downloading and testing all these tracks I decided that I will try to edit Phakisa, Lemalands, Mount Drama, Toban and Wakefield, if I have enough time for everything. Losail and Kastleburg don't really look good enough to spend time editing them, hopefully these harsh words don't upset anyone.

Euro Ring looks absolutely awesome, but it seems that the mod creator has updated the track himself and now it has 30 pits, great! Only remark I have is that I very often got some weird, purple-pink textures on some of the curbs and tarmac, but maybe it will be fixed.

So, to sum up - the list of things to do expands in almost the same pace as the universe. I will try to complete it though. However, first I need to learn how to edit these tracks in such a way, that it won't upset multiplayer gaming, as @slider666 rightfully pointed out. Wish me luck :D

Did you get anywhere with Phakisa? The layout is pretty nice but the existing mod for AC is disgraceful.

Hey guys! So here's my story. Ordered a PC for sim racing a little over a month ago, and it FINALLY arrived yesterday. In the meantime, I had been collecting mod cars and tracks on a hard drive, ready to transfer once I got my PC.

But my PC is telling me I don't have permission to open/copy/etc any of the files on that hard drive, even though I changed the permissions to "Everyone" and I'm using the only user profile on the PC. Anyone come across this and know what I need to change?

It's not as hard as this makes it look, but it got me out trouble once in the past. (hint: scroll down to find the easy mode.)

Someone's actually working on one now and posting pics on facebook.

With CSp it must be possible to have the iconic LEDs now

Can anyone pull a car out of NetKar pro so I can open it in 3DsMax? I haven't attempted it yet--might not be that big of a deal.

We have permission to use it as a reference for a new mod.

PM me if you can help.
 
Reference Maspalomas 1.1 -what a nice graphical improvement-thanks. However, can someone please post an AI for it? The first tight turn and half the field wipes out every time.

Some things to try out...

1. Turn off Merge Meshes if it's on (CSP settings)

2. Check/Update GPU drivers

3. Download and reinstall latest version of DirectX for your OS.

Hello!
Just to let you know: done all that but I still have the same problem. I am starting to get worried, as I never had this issue and I wouldn't like to have to format the computer and reset all AC/MODs configurations. It's frustrating.

Well, thanks for the help and if I have any news about it I'll post here, for sure.

Cheers :cheers:
 
Could somebody send a link for sx lemans? I searched for it here but all links are not working anymore.

Thanks:cheers:

Sorry to hear you're still having an issue. I know CamTool can be an FPS hog. Turn that off if it's on, see if that makes a difference. If it's happening after 2-3 races, that can make this more difficult to troubleshoot.

Yeah that would be great if someone could enhance the Sebring 1970 track. take care.
Click to expand...

If anybody wants to retrofit Sebring 1970 to Sebring 1965 (a great race that year!) I would love to help bring back the full Warehouse Straight (the Shelby Cobras were worked on inches away from the track) and the iconic Webster turns (where a surprising number of cars actually rolled over). I was there often in that era, and while I didn't race, I did make several unofficial laps of the track. Lots of old photos including many of the derelict C-119 (Flying Boxcars) which littered the periphery of the layout. Ye Olde Sebring yielded more World Sportscar Championship points than a lot of other high-value tracks I could mention.

You are a luky guy.
You are a very valuable person, I would have loved to meet you and talk about the old days when racing was for brave men. Anyway my English is not very good.
Anyway your idea is very good, Sebring is my circuit
American favorite. Hopefully some good modder can recreate that time for Assetto Corsa.
A cordial greeting from Argentina.

Yes, I know, all of these are very old, very low poly, and won't be much use to create a good AC mod, except for some reference. I have a GTR2 version that was created by Tracoholics, and I have the model, but I'm not sure where it came from. I think it looks a little different from the one I've seen for NetKar Pro. If you have something you can verify as sourced from there, I could use it.

Hi Masscot - no problem for your question, I am a member there/on his discord group and so far the older tracks, allot of them, have not been updated. Kon seems to get off on tangents and keeps doing new stuff which then they never get completed either. His concentration seems to be only on Rally road/stage type tracks. Circuit tracks he has are still not improved or touched. I think he has about 5-6 circuit tracks.

He updated Buttonwillow circuit track a little and I gave him some side lines for all the configurations, but he did not add them as of yet. just night lighting. I dont think his version on the website has the pit fix and the pit crews need to be oriented correctly. i have a full working version, but need to fix the pit crews correctly. There is a new hvrm KN5 file that fixes the pits online somewhere.

His Portland track is not as good as another updated one floating around in the download areas. i have the good working one which is Portland v1.4.

As you know Masscott, he keeps promising updates coming soon, but still never happens on older tracks that have been around.

Several of the tracks have been updated by others because of getting tired waiting.

His pricing on some of the tracks are somewhat reasonable low, but I dont think people know what they are getting when they are not completed.

So that is just my thoughts on the SimTraxx group. I have no complaints with Kon, but he should finish older tracks before starting 10 new ones.

take care,
Dave
 
I seem to have found the answer to my question.
Quote my own post with a question

........
When cornering, there is practically no feedback, and in case of loss of grip of the front wheels, the steering wheel becomes completely empty. This cannot be in a real car, but some mods in the AC, and even a few official cars from Kunos sin. That is, I want to say that in other cars, both mods and official, as well as in real life, when cornering, I feel an increase in steering effort, and good feedback from the road. And in this mod, and in some others - exactly the opposite. It doesn't seem right. I would like to understand if it is possible to change this in the config files?What is the point of doing this?
Click to expand...

I tried to completely change the ffb settings to enable the new options offered by the CM.
And I managed to achieve a result that eliminates this problem. And I was almost delighted.
But then I checked how my historic cars would behave now, for example the Maseratti 250F - and it was disgusting! With my old, clean ffb settings, I feel the 250F as an extension of the hands. FFB has excellent information content, the car is perfectly controlled, driving is a pleasure. With the new settings, the information content disappeared completely, the car stopped obeying, and it became very uncomfortable to drive. FFB just interferes with driving! I think if someone is given to try this car with such feedback settings, he will decide that historical cars are **** :)
And maybe someone thinks so accurately simply because his ffb is incorrectly configured?
I again came back to the idea that it is necessary to change the physics of the car, and not the ffb. And although I am not well versed in the physics of AC, I managed to find the required parameter. I made changes to the physics of two cars - Ferrari F138 and RSS Formula 2 2020. Now these cars have an amazing ffb for me, and it seems I can also modify the Ferrari 2004 and some other cars that have a strong drop in feedback in turns.

What do you think about this? Has anyone faced the same problem?
Would you say that all of your cars give force feedback equally well?
If someone is interested in trying it, to compare, I can share the data folders for these cars.

Thanks for the reply, however disappointing it is. He's been pulled up about this many times in the past and I'm sure over a year ago (maybe two?) he said everything was now in place to get these tracks finished.
As you say, hillclimb and rally tracks seem to be his focus for some reason, despite these being the least popular types of tracks in AC.
Maybe he should throw the unfinished circuits out to be finished by the community rather then leaving them stagnating as a permanent reminder of broken promises.

PolyCode TRACKS UPDATED by me with GrassFX & LightFX (where possible for the lights).

Feel free to improve more if possibile.

These are really good. Thank you for making improvements and sharing.

The AI for the Laodaohe is not that good - hits walls a lot. If there's any AI expert out there, this could do with a little love (boundaries may be enough)

the GTR2 model is sourced from NKpro. I think it was a 3d rip, and not a converted extract.
In fact, my GTR2 version is my own convert of Slimjims Formula NKP for rFactor, which was ripped via 3d extraction

I agree about the physics determining the FFB feel. RSS mods are some of the best so i'd not want the data file for those but just a rough idea of what areas you changed?
For example, steer assist and ffb multi are my first port of call with issue cars.
Then its inertia, and if its really bad (but i like the model) i simply swap physics from a similar sort of car.
