They havent posted any development on it since March, theyve been working on the Formula 90 mostly
But an integrity check can be quite a hassle if you have a very modded AC as you may not want EVERY file you don’t have (sfx files? crappy original skins? etc.) so think it through beforehand.
Shadows are strong in this one
It doesn't feel bad, but it's too loose in the rear.
I changed the shifter to sequential.
And I have no readout in the display ?
Tires stay cold, lowering pressure (just a quick try) didn't seem to help.

Alfa 159???? where? I need it!!!!I really should delete any F1 cars after, say, 2000. The old analogue cars can be fun to drive but the new ones just leave me cold, however excellent the mods are.
It's tough and very time consuming going through a big car collection, trying to sort the wheat from the chaff, but I have found some gems that I'd never even driven before. Almost deleted a 325i Touring mod sight unseen yesterday but loaded it up to give it a chance and ended up racing a pack of them around Spa for twenty laps. It turned out to be quite a rewarding car to drive and is definitely a keeper.
Being exclusively a VR racer, cars usually need to have good cockpits to avoid the bin but even then there are some cars (like the Race 07 conversions of the Alfa 156 and 159) that are low poly and low res but are just good solid cars to drive. With them it's more about how they feel than how they look. And hexagonal headlights are good for large grids...
What's bloody annoying is the number of cars that are just minor variations to other mods... exactly the same cars but with very tiny power differences, for example. Trying to keep the 'best' from a bunch of almost-identical models needs almost gynacological forensic investigation.
What I'm not doing any more is keeping utter crap purely as grid fillers. These cars often have such bad paint shaders that even seeing one in a race can be horribly jarring. If it's not good to actually drive it goes straight in the trash.
About headlights sorry but I'm not the mod author. I can explain what Ao is:
Ao stands for Ambient Occlusion and it's basically a texture with pre baked shadows that should be put as txDetail on any object in ac because ac engine is old and can't make ambient occlusion in real time for cars, it's basically a workaround to make cars look more realistic. If a model is mapped you can even generate the Ao texture with content manager showroom or you can make it with blender and 3dsmax, that's why mapping models is important, both in the exterior and in the interior. This is a visual example to show the difference Ao can make:
No AO:

I think it is just AC physics that can’t handle karts and it may be better to forget about them all the way (as long as you want relatively correct feel compared to RL).
