Wow, this looks incredible! Thank you so much for bringing this car to AC, i'm not a circuit racer guy but i have been dreaming of it! And all my support for your loss, there are few things that i love more than my little fur buddy, hope you can get through it the better you can.

And I've vanished again for quite a bit....
Countach 25th Anniversary progress.

The car is now ready to be imported into AC since I've sorted out all of the mesh issues... And I've managed to reduce the polycount from 1150k polys to around 890k. I've still yet to decide if the car should have a HD variant (This one) and a performance friendly version with 250k-to 400k polygons...
AO baking and other improvements shouldn't take long.
This took longer than expected for a Kunos Countach reskin...
Polyphony really found a way to torture modders with the tessellation method they use for models.
And some meshes were either damaged or incomplete (meshes that you need to boolean and or fix yourself).

can't wait...
preferably only release 1 version, as optimized as possible so not to have a bad performance, but still with enough polys (to not make it have ugly none-rounded parts)
I noticed for some reason some cars w for example +1500K polys give my cpu less stress then others w for example 800K.
So the number of polys is prob the most important, but not the only thing that needs to be considered for a car being optimized... (don't ask me what the other things are , cause I don't know )

But anyway I think keeping 2 cars updated is more a pita for u ...

 

[Masscot]

I'm not sure then, I always export with FBX Units scale so

The car does seem too small by quite a margin, which then begs the obvious question (if true): will it be rescaled? It'd be a crime if all your hard work was wasted.

 

[GT3Masters97]

Blender shows correct parameters idk even after exporting with FBX units scale, idk what AC does with the model in ksEditor afterwards

Frankly I don't wish anyone to work with the interior of a Super GT car because modeling an interior from 3 pictures is quite the challenge to say the least and mediocre onboard videos from one angle don't do justice

Try to measure the car in blender and see if it respects the actual dimensions. Unfortunately I also had a similar problem

 

[andrevr]

Nobody?

I'm on CSP 0.2.3-preview1. Definitely not working here. Don't even get the prompt on the screen in-game.

[Cote Dazur]

I'm not sure then, I always export with FBX Units scale so

First, thank you so much for bringing this great car to AC.
As @Masscot mentioned, driving it in VR, the scale is off. The driver hands and everything else in that cockpit is too small.
I hope it will not be too hard to fix, as it is great to have that car available in AC.

 

[Pez94]

Finding any technical documents related to the Super GT is a PITA!
According to the official website these are the tyre dimensions for the 2023 (I think the technical regulation should have remained the same since 2021) cars are:

GT500
Front: Maximum width 336mm, maximum outer diameter 685mm
Rear: Maximum width 356mm, maximum outer diameter 712mm

技術規則 | About SUPER GT

Is it a viable option to check if the tyres are correct and then, check everything else?

 

[Jack Aqab]

To be fair, Lexus is expected to be in WEC GT class next year. I'm happy to see them both working on modern GT3 cars, because they're a mainstay of some of the biggest races for the next few years and have great variety. Just a pity they're both releasing the same one (and the split of skins between them). I guess they were in a race with each other to release and RSS has won through here.

End of the day though, enough grumbling - we've got 2x fantastic new scratch made GT3 cars! And that's much better than having 0.

I doubt there's enough detail about the not-yet-homologated Ford and Corvette, but I'm sure one or the other will be working on the 296 this year. LP Design is working on a Ford also, though that's obviously not quite the same (would be great if he'd create a 'normal' store).

Unfortunately, LP Design Ford Mustang 2024 is useless, cause is encrypted. I can't change fuel consumption for my WEC / IMSA grids in data.acd file... Does Anyone have another one?

 

[MrB00]

Why is the car so small?
The cockpit is absolutely tiny, and (I'm not exaggerating for comic effect here) the driver looks to be about six years old.
In VR it's like driving a toy car.
I think something's gone very wrong with the scaling here.

Compare windscreen width and headlight separation with a standard Z400:

Here's the cars superimposed over each other (offset left-right) to better demonstrate the windscreen/a-pillar width differences:

You do know how race cars that are built to a series work don't you? They share the road car name and similar looking body but that's as far as it goes. Dimensions aren't usually shared with the road car so you comparing it to the road car is wrong.

@TheNuvolari I'm sure you already know this but you have done everything correct.
I was just discussing this with someone who has created mods using Blender (outside of the GTP AC thread)
And she has said the following
"exporting with fbx units scale is the way
and if length and width are correct in blender, so should it be correct in AC too"

 

[Masscot]

Of course there will be discrepancies, but that seemed like an appropriate car to compare it to for demonstration purposes. And race cars aren't normally this much smaller than the production car.
Do you have VR? If so, hop in and you'll hopefully see the problem.
Regardless, I think it's now been established that the Nissan Z (RZ34) GT500 2022 1.0 might be scaled incorrectly, which was the only point of my post.
I'm surprised it wasn't noticed by the testers listed TBH, especially whoever scaled the driver to fit the cockpit. The first steer.ksanim used must have been bursting through the bodywork, although the driver does seem to have been scaled down a LOT to fit the steering wheel dimensions rather than a more appropriate steer.ksanim being used. This probably exaggerates the small feel to the cockpit scale even further, but I can't believe the tiny driver is the only thing making the car seem too small. Hopefully I'm wrong?

A further thought: if the export from Blender is indeed scaled correctly, then maybe the original doner model was too small to begin with?

According to the video description, TheNuvolari made the model of the Z from scratch

GTP forum-er and creator of very cool tracks, @carTOON, got a nice write-up on RaceDepartment for his work on the 1936 Népliget Park circuit. 👏 👏

Népliget Park: The First Hungarian Grand Prix Track in Assetto Corsa

The Hungarian Grand Prix's first home was not the Hungaroring - instead, engines were roaring in Budapest's Népliget Park in 1936 already. The circuit is now available for Assetto Corsa.

Ah, OK - I've not watched any videos. I'm out of ideas then.
Hope it all gets resolved without being too much of a pain as the car itself seems great. Just small.

Ohh man, that surprised me...I'm about to read it. Thanks for the information!

Thanks!

@TheNuvolari

Wow, no question, the mod is really awesome, I love this car.

Sure, the car has a small problem with the size, (5%-10%) but it's nothing earth-shattering, by any means, and VR isn't the standard anyway.


Really, thank you for your hard and good work!

Hello Everyone,

I write here because i have a little problem in race with RSS Formula Hybrid 2023. Last day i try to do a race of 40 laps and with last CSP preview, some AI start in C5 compound (i dont know why but with the last CSP AI choose their compound in race - it was not the case before).
But after 15-16 laps, when their tyres was completely done, they never go to pits anyway. They just continue to race, driving slowly and slowly. At the end of the race, they crashed everywhere.
Did someone know how to fix this ? I try to find if an option in CSP caused this but i did'nt find.

Thank you

 

[X90]

Well, seems like that for me on CSP 0.2.3p1 (SOL 2.29 + Pure 0.225) AI is completly broken.
Several tracks + cars combos = AI drivers stuck on start an if I drive throu them - then they slooooowly start to ride, one-by-one.
Any thougts what could caused that?

Interesting that other people are reporting this. Perhaps it's just a bug with CSP then.

I think I'm just going to release my AI line then and see what people say.

 

[MrLonguinha17]

Scumdream?

No, none of them. The Lotus 72 (it's by Kunos) and the skins were adapted.The other models were (partial) conversions of other games to complete the season (with the cars you mentioned).

 

[Jack Aqab]

Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, this car is way too slow (4:30s on the Le Mans circuit, so more like GT4 cars) and narrower than GT3 (the body kit coming from the road version of the car made by triple7 as the author of the mod said below video). Does anyone have another shot? LP Design Ford Mustang GT3 2024 looks great, the pace is good and very similar to other cars from the class... Unfortunately, stupid encryption does not allow me to change anything in the data file and complete small details like fuel consumption, etc. So... LP Design's mod is useless and pretty only, Zikas' mod is too slow to compete with GT3s... Any ideas? Has anyone announced such a mod (2024 Mustang GT3 for WEC/IMSA grid) and is worth waiting for?

Why do you think it´s encrypted? I can un-pack and re-pack the data with CM easily.

 

[RicME85]

Can confirm data can be unpacked and repacked for the LP Design Ford Mustang GT3

 

[JohnDoeGER]

Why do you think it´s encrypted? I can un-pack and re-pack the data with CM easily.

Can you also load the car into the gane, when you changed values in the data folder?

 

[giorgos_nes]

Interesting that other people are reporting this. Perhaps it's just a bug with CSP then.

I think I'm just going to release my AI line then and see what people say.

I can also confirm... The AI won't even leave the pits in several circuits in weekend mode... I hope Ilja finally fixes the AI soon! It's really frustrating to see it being ******d up in some way after almost every new CSP version release!

Also, I would really appreciate it if someone could send me some good AI line files (fast lane, pit lane, side lines, hints, ideal line) for rt_bathurst. 2:10 for GT3 is W-A-Y too slow...

 

[Jack Aqab]

Why do you think it´s encrypted? I can un-pack and re-pack the data with CM easily.

After changing the data.acd file (only one parameter, i.e. fuel consumption) and repacking it, I can no longer enter the game with this car. AI cars also have the same error: "Failed to decrypt model" and the game crashed. I can continue loading, but then the car has broken graphics (full of triangles). I've read a lot of forums and it follows that the car must have encrypted not only the kn5 files but also the data.acd file... I don't know much about it, I'm not a modder. I wanted to adapt the car to my GT3 grid for the new season (I do it for all cars to compete with each other). However, the LP Design's Ford (version 1.0) does not work when data is changed and repacked. Without packing, the change does not appear, of course (the car consumes the same amount of fuel as before the change). Any ideas? Thoughts? Solutions?
