He does not pretend that he did the work, he mention where the car is from and who did the conversion. He make it better, how is that not a good thing. A lot of mods are in dire need for improvement.
How is that stealing? I have a hard time following you on this.
original model: Forza
conversion: Dareks
updates: Alez Cash

He doesn't have knowledge to built mods from scratch, so of course he would care less. Just because he makes a few changes and he calls himself a "modder".
People like him is the whole problem with the AC community and why the real people behind the mods are dropping and doing something else. If modders stops doing mods, he has nothing else to do.

Noticed on RD that tire textures were among your To Do's, did you know that in the original skins with the mod there are Bridgestone tire textures in a few of them? For now I had just copied them into your skins

you mean the mercedes, yes i think its the better option, people using another skins wheels for now. i will be busy the next days with the Toyota helmets, and will maybe move on to a Lexus GT3 livery or make some fantasy ones for that GT3 mitsubishi posted here lately.

Well, thank you for pointing out my point... We can all find a great work in baring insult to one another and this we may see as "smart" and a great result

Nothing offensive in delivering one compassion and or an understanding, much better than being insulting... 👍

I do not want to offend anyone or even you, but as an example after your interference in Beto's work he released 0 mods after that. Guess why?

The recently updated DRM Revival cars are ridiculously good fun at Okutama. What a great combo.

And I can not wait for URD to release the Austin Martin! Its suppose to take full advantage of the latest shader (interior LED's anyone?).
Chris Haye said its coming out very, very soon.

Toyota is also a second faster around Suzuka 2018, but i think on tracks with more braking the mercedes might be faster, simply cause its more stable at braking and at slow speeds.

So it's way too fast.

I'd let 2 AI cars race and look at the trap times and lap times. That eliminates your driving.

i did this too now, at 100%, Le Mans 91, the fastest lap was a Toyota with 3:42, but they were racing in a pack, there was no real difference, but you could see that the Toyota were a tiny bit faster on the straights, but the Mercs gained it all back on the brakes.

I dunno... AI in this sim are interesting. You can take any car of any kind and modify the AI parameters to make it run lap times of any kind you wish. For instance, you can take the riding lawnmower mod and with a few adjustments in AI data can make the AI lawnmower run like an F1 car!

Speaking of AI though, that reminds me that someone on here had made some comments in regards to the AI for this car so I think I'll have to look back at the AI as well! Thanks, BP!

Its all tweakable But yeah, my thought was, let 2 cars do a 5-10 lap race, let them get away from each other and look at traps etc. Also in dev mode, you could watch their breaking distances etc.

Back at it! After uploading my first skin, I uploaded another. This time, it is my first skin set for a team. It is another fictional team. Check it, my peoples...

Team Sodexo Sport Porsche 911 RSR (2017 Model)

More of my AC work: My Assetto Corsa skin work

I re-worked these Porsches. I almost considered making them properly as FIA WEC or IMSA liveries, but I may consider that if I decide to re-work these skins more. I am otherwise proud to release more of my work.

Here's my 2 cents on this lol



And this




[CONTROLS]

FFMULT=

STEER_ASSIST=
STEER_LOCK=
STEER_RATIO=
LINEAR_STEER_ROD_RATIO=

[FRONT]

WBCAR_STEER=

sorry I dont get what you mean...

For those interested, the Toyota Yaris WRC ‘17 has now popped up on Facebook

 

[Cote Dazur]

about that Senna McLaren, interesting video.

It's not a bad little car. Nice cockpit, and looks mean as a mofo. Did my usual thing with these rally cars and removed the godawful copilot mannequin and fixed the steering animation. Just need to change the default short-short gear ratios so it's useable as a track car, but am not entirely sure the best way to go about this.

Delete the Drift tunes from this Street Heroes pack and just keep the Street tunes, and you might have some fun with these. There are some flipped mirror issues (quite easy to fix) and tyres can clip through wheel arches occasionally but the cars drive quite nicely, fairly slidey but controllable, and the cockpits are finished well and have some nice little details added. They look like GT6 car models to me.

There are a LOT of car packs on this website but a lot of them are hot garbage. Most of the RTM cars are in a pack there too if you want them.
Let me know if you find anything else worth keeping. The non-night versions of the Touge Workshop cars are worth a look (night versions just seem to have shadows removed, weirdly....)

 

[Wusel]

It is just crucial areas of the suspension that affect greatly handling, especially the wishbone steer front and even the rear.

Sadly I have zero idea what kind of number to put there...

as good as the game still is, and all that, why does it feel like it is impossible to set up a server?
Kunos blew it their bigly

Just as an aside/potential modding conversation starter, I've been going through all my addon/mod cars in CM using that extra dev mode that reveals how many polys a car uses and whether the physics are unique. And I've noticed that at least 90% of mods have one or both of these problems:

1) There's only one LOD. If it's less than 200K polys I can usually run a field of 18 without much trouble, but still, that's usually a strong sign the modder isn't an expert. Isn't there an easy method in Blender or 3DSMax to create lower-poly versions of a model?

2) At least one or two physics elements are copied from a Kunos car. Sometimes it's just suspension, but I still find this to be a nagging problem, especially when it's a car from a completely different era, a different weight distribution, or engine/drive layout. This is why I can never REALLY tell if a mod car is "realistic" or not unless there's something seriously wrong with the way it handles or accelerates.

So what mods have any of you tried out that feel the most legit in both these categories? I'm talking about, like, the Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ that BrianB uploaded to RaceDepartment, or the Test Drive cars like the 512TR and Corvette C4.

Hey, I'm curious as well. How do you access this dev mode to look for commonalities between mods?

 

[Stupornaut]

I learned this from @Masscot: "In [CM > about] just click the version number quickly a few times to unlock Developer Mode. Some extra info is then added to the Analyse results."

I was able to unlock dev mode, but when I go to Content, select a car and then Analyze - I just get the exact same info as before. Can you briefly tell me what you did to compare different cars to see what they had in common?

Edit: OK, figured it out.
1. Settings
2. Content Manager
3. Dev
4. Check "While analyzing etc..."

Oh, wow. This expanded analyzer info is pretty revealing. So far, it appears that relatively few mods (like paymods) are using fully custom suspension data. The highly-regarded Viper strike pack, for instance: All of the Vipers contained therein are using various front suspensions from high-end late model Kunos Ferrari road cars (599XX Evo and 812 Superfast). Then again, I'd much rather have a proper Kunos-developed geometry than a poorly-designed "custom" one any day. And for all I know, the geometry is similar IRL?

I also saw many intelligent choices about when to use Kunos data. A prime example is the ACR Ferrari Enzo. They used the suspension geometry from the P4/5 Competizione because that car is a rebodied Enzo. But it has appropriately unique aero and engine data.

Many of the Formula 1 cars are closely based on similar Kunos models (same suspension and aero data). But there are also amazing standouts like the work done by Bazza - nearly all of his mods (like GPL and F1C75) have totally unique suspension and aero data. Of course, all of the VRC, URD and RSS cars are using custom data.

RTM mods are at the bottom of the originality barrel. EVERY RTM car I looked at is a Frankenstein mash-up of various Kunos cars. The McLaren M8C has the suspension of a Ford GT40, the aero of a Lotus 72D, and the engine from the Shelby Cobra. Sigh.

I also just noticed that (now?) CM is showing me the steering lock for every car. CM is...amazing.

What would be really incredible is if CM could compare the data between mod cars. AFAIK, it only spots similarities to Kunos vehicles. It would be fascinating to see if, for instance, all the cars in the Trans Am pack have different suspensions/aero - or if they're identical (and, to be fair, these American cars all had very similar suspension designs).
