Hey there guys. Since everybody's talking about these new VRC touring cars, and how the 3DM ones are faster, could anybody suggest a ballast/restrictor setup to equalize the 3DM ones? I don't really feel like changing the data files.
+1 This. Haven't bought them yet but as the 3DM Volvo is on my list of favorite cars to drive, I would be interested in the VRC ones if we could BOP them with the 3DM ones.

Looking good to have these choices. I guess the Tasman series in the 60s was held in the middle of Aussie summer whereas this gives us those options for the full year coverage.
Yes the Tasman series was held in summer, usually when the F1 teams were in the off season, which was why the likes of Clark, Hill, Moss, Amon, Hulme, Mclaren & Brabham etc could come and race after the F1 series was finished, and often ex F1 machinery was sold in NZ rather than shipped back to Europe. The Lotus 49 first appeared in gold leaf colours in the 68 Tasman series in NZ.
I have had to make a lot of compromises to get a decent framerate with the new VRC touring cars in VR. It improved after I changed AI to the standard non-CSP variants (to avoid CPU hit from all the extra calcs needed for extended physics) but unless I drop a lot of settings, I still get huge FPS drops and stutters.
For me, they're rather too heavy for me while steering, besides not having any ABS system and always having a tendency to snap understeer while breaking heavly (which I do remark it's something they've nailed with I presume since I did check videos of those cars on YouTube from real races)oh dude, new VRC Supertourer are a drifters cars, holy ****, and they are bad optimized

There's a lot to like about these cars but I really hope the LODs, shifting animations and hand/wheel synch is sorted out before they're finished.2006 Super GT Beta Released for the Public

Thanks for that - just downloaded and immediately jumped into a race against 16 AI in VR. As Masscot says, there's definitely some work needed on LODs and stuff but I thoroughly enjoyed myself and got better performance (fps) out of these compared to the VRC touring cars!2006 Super GT Beta Released for the Public

The NSX driver animation is currently a right mess (karate chopping the gearstick?) but the other two cars can be improved with these values in data/driver3d.ini
[STEER_ANIMATION]
NAME=steer.ksanim
LOCK=360
...
[SHIFT_ANIMATION]
BLEND_TIME=100
POSITIVE_TIME=300
STATIC_TIME=10
NEGATIVE_TIME=300
PRELOAD_RPM=9950
INVERT_SHIFTING_HANDS=1
Happy New Year everyone!
I've been busy this past month at Pescara 57 still working on buildings.
Me: "Remember when I promised not to do buildings along the straights?"
- "That's right Italotracks - you did!"
Me: - "I LIED!!"
(Sorry I watched Commando last night.)
I've done some of the more distinctive, seemingly period buildings that line the loooong straights from Cappelle Sul Tavo to Montesilvano, and from the latter along the coast to Pescara. Too distinctive to leave out, most definitely.
Just hit number 250 - a quarter of a thousand unique buildings - windows, balconies all cut out etc, extreme tedium and well over a year spent on them! My brain can't take much more, but thankfully I'm nearly finished with them..

So hopefully when I next write, it might be to show you progress on something else!
Thanks Rodger - not yet but that won't take too long!
I've made #4 Leslie one from the Reid/wheeler one a long time ago. Here:
Well some handle it ok others do die. Tiny bit of skill involved in the jumping side of it as in speed angle etc.
