This is a list of whitelisted and blacklisted mod creators and teams from the URD discord server. Can someone please tell me why RSS would be blacklisted (especially considering that a while back they were whitelisted)?

Easy. They kept insulting the other teams both urd and vrc for that. They are very toxic. And there are certain things about some jobs that are very suspicious and strange…

 

[protoss]

BTW... Arch (an 18yo from Finland) always proclaimed his physics were superior when he used a gamepad and didnt even have a drivers license and got all puffed up because I said his physics were crap after he tried to make my Alpha T33/12 "better"

That would explain why his cars feel unrealistic. I feel they're hard to drive just for the sake of being hard to drive, not because they're realistic.
He does have a tendency to ruin other people's cars. Did the same with Singer's 911, the version before he messed with the physics is far better.

Why is this subjective Klown Posse nonsense getting airtime again after all these years, as if it's something to be respected?

DRM has been the most immersive and demanding mod I´ve tried.

Speaking of 3d trees, I stumble on this dude (MoriSan) a while ago, he made 3d trees for Trento Bondone and its pretty good, better than 3d trees available at OT!
On my side I have no bizzare color grading, no nuclear whatever you guy describe, NO morphing!!

That's the major sin of all sim racing in general. I find it hilarious that real GT3 and F1 drivers constantly say that sims have way too slippery kerbs and the cars (generally) have way too little traction compared to real racecars. When F1 2020 was released and some F1 driver tested it (maybe George Russell) to give feedback to the devs, he said that the car felt 100% more realistic when the TC was set on. And most sim racers complained that the F1 cars in that game had way too much grip. They sure are better experts than a real F1 driver, huh?

Look at the incar footage of modern F1 and see how those guys can clock 70 laps all those kerbs spot on... and the tolerances are measured in centimeters how they take the corners. Sure they're the best drivers but without insanely high traction it wouldn't be possible to be that consistent. And the gaps in QF between 1st and 20th is about 6 tenths. In the old days it was often like 8 seconds. Sure the older F1 cars should be harder and sloppier to drive on the sims too. Even during the grooved tyres years (Hakkinen-Schumacher-Hill era) the gaps came much closer already.

Now it's actually crazy how small the differences are... today's QF at Monza was a great example. But I've noticed that you can't make old F1 cars very sloppy on AC... otherwise you get all kinds of AI problems because there are so many factors to consider when you build a season. They just won't stay on the track. That's why it must be tough to make a good 60's or 70's F1 season on AC and have somewhat realistic lap times (without making the top speeds way too slow).

I increased the Ferrari Virtua Simulazione 1998 rear traction a little because the car was oversteering and sliding like crazy and immediately someone complained that "it has too much traction now".

Oh yeah... how does he know that? That F1 car should behave like a drift car E30.

People say how great iRacing rain physics are. GT3 driver James Baldwin said that it has WAY too little grip on the rain. Same with ACC's kerbs... they can immediately slingshot you to the next dimension if you take them wrong. LMU has done them much better. On iRacing there was no way to save the car from snap oversteer... you ALWAYS became a passenger when you lost the grip. Every pro driver has said it was totally unrealistic. (Now they supposedly have better tyre model) Sure you can lose the cars... and even the best DO lose the car often... but not with 100% consistency.

Yes... people think more difficult means more realistic. That's a problem. I'd say the actual difficulty should come from AI skill... not making the driving unnaturally hard.

Kunos cars are pretty good generally but if you want to drive a bad car with literally ZERO traction, try Kunos RUF Yellowbird.

In URD own words
1. Blacklist is for people that make mods that are ripped content aka from other games. URD simply do not want ripped car content posted on their discord for very obvious reasons.
2. RSS is blacklisted cause CC kept causing issues between URD and RSS. Antagonizing URD for no proper reason to the point where RSS fanboys would join the discord only to talk **** constantly. So URD did the reasonable thing and simply blacklisted all RSS content from their server.

Think the rest of the blacklist is pretty obvious.

The RSS fanboys are mad

 

[ItsHords]

Yes - that one! 😂

Well it's coming soon, Will be free but encrypted (think it's obvious why) Have plan for the Callaway C4 afterwards if the bank account allows it.

 

[StoffelWaffle]

Imagine blacklisting people for mods, it's not the Silicon Valley lmao. World's gone mad innit.

 

[Codexas]

The original source for both tracks is the same: GP4. magnycours_1992 was converted for AC from a version where Caio Fonseca & From33to77 significantly reworked the objects/meshes/textures during conversion for rF2. The differences are most noticeable when looking at the kerbs, walls, and guardrails. Since the folder names are different, you can keep both and compare them.

Hey Shi, I believe your magnycours_1992/1992 version and your asr_owc_1992_round_08 are essentially the same track.
However asr_owc_1992_round_08 needs an ai_hints.ini file for 88-94-97 (done by Thockard), I see that Magny 1992/1992 has no hints file included in the data folder.

Was that on purpose? I.e. we don't need a hints file for the awesome patreon version?

 

[Vintagedriver]

Why is this subjective Klown Posse nonsense getting airtime again after all these years, as if it's something to be respected?

I also can not see any logic in this list, did publish this more as an joke.

But it's one very biased and deliberately provocative list from a group of self-proclaimed 'expert' circle-jerkers that's already been discussed and debunked ad nauseum many years ago when it first surfaced.

Do you believe he did test all the paid mods and if so, then I guess the illegal downloaded incomplete rev0 versions. So the rest of his ranking also very suspicious.

Mostly because we refused their childish d*ck and b*tt play antics on Discord and didnt give a **** about whatever Klown, Arch and LTK were doing.
BTW... Arch (an 18yo from Finland) always proclaimed his physics were superior when he used a gamepad and didnt even have a drivers license and got all puffed up because I said his physics were crap after he tried to make my Alpha T33/12 "better"

Please lets dont ever mention these fools again thnx

If you are angry about this good/bad list, please do not care. It’s always easy to criticize other people’s work without any explanation. Think if you have remarks then you always explain what in your eyes needs improvements. But the same also counting for those mod users who give a 5star ranking for every mod good or bad. Further what in my VR headset is showing as beautiful craftsmanship could be for a other users seen as terrible bad made.
I would ask, please keep on your good modding work.

they should blacklist themselves for encrypting physics data where you cannot read tyre info, into the trashbin it goes

Hey there, are there working wipers for the Porsche 911 (992) Turbo S Safety-Car from Thegost?
I tried it myself but failed, the wipers were going thru the windshield and I don't know (yet?) how to change the angle.

Although it is no longer in this plan...the "legend Niki Lauda" is still present...let us celebrate the "50 years" of the historic first world title of formula drivers with the legendary Ferrari 312T (Scuderia Ferrari) on the Monza circuit (Italy).

"Kunos cars are pretty good generally but if you want to drive a bad car with literally ZERO traction, try Kunos RUF Yellowbird."

This specific Ruf, however, seems to be notoriously difficult to drive due to lack of traction in real life too:

I have most (all?) of the headline mods from the major modding teams, and more tracks than I can count. I enjoy putting combos together that are a challenge, a good fit of car and circuit, and that offer nice immersion. While I thought I had most of the premier mods figured out, every now and then I stumble across an older gem, and yesterday was one of those days.

A new set of skins on RD led me to a car I had never come across before - the Legends Cars Mod from 2019. On the strength of one of the real-world videos on the mod page, I gave it a go in a field of AI at Bikernieki - High Speed Ring layout. Incredible. The car mod is incredibly nice, needs to be driven on the throttle, but can hold a nice slide and rewards technique. The AI handle it well, and (for my skill level anyway) make for a challenging, immersive and enjoyable race.

Short video of the first couple of laps of my first race below. If you don't yet have these mods, do yourself a favour and grab them today!

This one has magically escaped my attention. Will definately try it. I like the approach of the creation: based on real life experiences of someone who has actually driven the thing. Granted, you also need insight in sim racing to adapt things properly, but this is a one-of-a-kind project that seems very thorough.

In a time where we all crave for something "completely different from GT3 and Hypercars" this would definately fit the bill.

Good find, and thanks for the heads-up!

I've used this mod to train for a semi-local IRL contest, which used Legend Cars, and it helped me a lot; but IMHO any sim time is helpful for real track driving, even if the mods used aren't that similar to their real counterparts.

Where can I find this Monza track? I need Monza '75 or something similar

Same with the Dodge Viper RT/10, all due to tire technology not up to part at that time.
Cant seem to find it but I've seen a video of the Viper on modern tire and it doesnt exibit the same handling behavior.

Yes @marc magnela the 3D model is encrypted because of you. If i see our model on your site i will literally contact your site host and send an DMCA strike to them quicker than you can generate fake .ini files.

Ah, now I'm at my PC (was on the phone earlier and couldn't really read the table) I see that the default 'Windy' weather (which is the one I use most, and considered a 'dry' weather) DOES have a chance of rain. That's the one that's been causing the hiccups.
Question: if I edit the 'Windy' data in the Pure planner to remove rain probability completely, and hit the general Pure 'save' button, will that get saved no matter if Pure gets updated and/or 'reset to defaults' is clicked (which you always recommend when updating)?

One other suggestion for you to consider: have wind DIRECTION randomised by default for any weathers that use wind, so that flags etc will be blowing in a randomly different direction when starting a new session at a particular track. It just adds a nice variation rather than always seeing them blowing the same way. Any reason why wind direction is currently always the same by default?

Thanks.

@Peter Boese, I don't think I got an answer to this. How do we save weather parameters so that the settings perpetuate between sessions, in this case removing probability of rain entirely from a particular weather?
Also, is there a known issue at the moment with rain? Immediately before rain starts I get a noticeable frozen screen then a huge drop in framerate. I used to be able to run rain without affecting the framerate but lately it's been impossible.

A field of the Legends Ford Coupe on Riverside is one of the most fun times I've had on this sim, highly recommend. I need to do that again soon.

Same with the opposite, rain to no rain weather, freezes for a frame at least and then ALL the wet surface disapear...

I'll have to give that a try. Just been doing some races in that car at Bridgehampton, it's a lot of fun! Wish I'd found this gem earlier.

Thank you, now I have a reason to download ex mods...mods

 

[jus1029]

There's a Cupra Leon VZ TCR mod on OverTake right now, but it's currently sus since it's based on @Fuzo's mod but doesn't appear to have a proper blessing.

EDIT: I guess it's confirmed.

Co-sign the Legends. Been driving them for years on small layouts. They're a gem.

It was so good that I sent a few bucks to the creator - although as of now I can't find the link so maybe I'm misremembering.

Definitely worth a download - and a great series car as well.
