Just to clarify, I don't mean to insult the modder, it looks solid. I just think it's an ugly car lol
AND not to mention : not everyone in the world is fluent in english, mistakes are meant to be tolerated
Ok, ok... I must be the only one who enjoys AC mostly hotlaping, or doing trackdays or F1 races with 20 cars, or cruising alone at dusk... I feel alone in the world... 😟
Oh no you don't... Just replace "F1" by "vintage GT"
I changed my mind. 😀 After some more investigation🧐I found some interesting NeelJ GTR2 track (I do have permission for all NeelJ tracks). Not a graphic wonder but fun to drive. Plan to put that into the GPLmania updates.
Me I enjoy let the AI run and walk around the track, with some good combos it's a top notch!

Jokes aside, this is the beauty of AC: it encompasses all kinds of tastes, manners, choices... there is nothing that is mandatory, or better, or more correct; everyone can choose what to do. Even driving muscular guys in their underwear on weightlifting bars. (Yikes, I said jokes aside... 🤦♂️)
That's why is said 'in 2D at least'
These historic tracks are fantastic. I did some small tests with the 72 pack (with Matra, Lotus and Ferrari) just fantastic.
Personally i'd see where the GTA guys got that model in the first place, then convert that, i'd guess thats available in all sorts of places, its pretty bog standard.
and you shouldn't... She shows us pictures of all the niceness she makes in AC, but she doesn't share the actual mods.
Aintree is in the making. I will not get permission for Dundrod. Hehe. Story from the Isle of Man project. Reims of somewhat for track makers not converters. I tested Porto and Monsanto in GPL unfortunately in AC it looks not good.
Fantastic!!! Is it christmas time? Just one question : why the R5 TL instead of the R5 Alpine turbo? So, I suppose the R4 is missing too and it will be perfect for iconic french cars.
Absolutely not true. The LODs made with default settings are always better than no LODs at all, anything that reduces object count and triangle count will always gain performance, whether that is noticeable or not to some people in certain situations is debatable. "someone" is either an idiot or the tests were that random, they did not know their own results or randomised those too
I've seen a few car mods with 4 decent LODs but with puzzlingly terrible performance in AI spec races. Closer inspection usually reveals that there's only one LOD entry in lods.ini, so only LOD A is being used.Absolutely not true.

Now if you spend time with the LOD generator and tweak it on a per car basis, the results can be outstanding compared to no LODs. Then ideally they need bringing back into 3D software for a final clean up and to fix any dummies that were removed or broken in the process. This should take at least a couple hours per car and is worth it in terms of performance gained overall.
There's what, 4 main options to modders really? In order of time taken:
Then there's the option of importing the original LODs that a lot of models have included with them, but these also need working a little.
- No LODs
- Simplygon Auto LODs with minimal to no tweaking
- Heavily tweaked and modified Simplygon LODs
- Hand made LODs
Reality is though, as our computers become more and more powerful, the need for a good set of LODs becomes less obvious. Hot lappers, screenshotters, lone wolves etc etc may never really need LODs in the first place if their system is not too low powered and would probably benefit from disabling all or increasing the distance drawn in CSP. On the other hand, the chaps that like to do large grid races or online league racing etc that regularly have 20,30,40+ cars on track absolutely need a decent set of LODs.
So if a modder decides to pour his or her heart and soul into bringing such and such car into the game with many many hours spent doing this, why not also spend another 2 or 3+ hours (or 5 minutes as per option 2) making a set of LODs? Even if said modder decides that this car is only a screenshot car or should not be raced in large grids, making a set would still then cater for most end users, no ?
Oh and PS... the Rover is still in the works! I am just taking a little break from the PC until I get my internet back up and running! It's no fun on a mobile hot spot
