Havent seen any 80's DTm with that...

Neither have I, but I was pretty sure I did, until just now... Maybe I dreamt of it. Or saw it on newer restomod cars.

There is a "alternative physic's" upload on RD for Tommy's BTCC Astra by the way. Just incase anyone missed it. I have no idea if it is good or not i just downloaded it for when i make a purchase over at Tommy's website. If anyone wants it i can post it up if people can't find it (if thats allowed, probably not as its not my work)


oi oiiiiiii!! i just unzipped the physic's for Tommy's BTCC astra and its yooooooooooou @fleskebacon sorry i did not realise it was you

Warning: That's a real hackjob and probably makes them way too grippy in the rear, but at least it made the cars driveable for me. I'm on it again now, trying to make them a bit better. They actually had swappable anti-roll bars, but very limited possibilities to adjust toe and camber.

The problem, in my opinion, is Tommy's rather strange decision to use a live rear axle for these cars, which he has also equipped the BTCC Golf with. I'm by no means an expert, but using a dwb setup seems to be a better choice.

The Golf drives nicely for me, but the GTE and even more the GSi are so loose in the rear that it's borderline impossible. And not fun. A fwd car shouldn't really be that tail happy at all, unless something is really wrong.

I just purchased the BTCC Astra and lets put it this way, i'm glad there was alternative physics for this thing because you are correct the back end is a bloody pendulum and close to unusable. What you done has made it 100x better

so the Golf is ok? i have not got it yet as i was concerned it would be like the Astra but i will purchase thast aswell

The Golf is very stable, almost boring...

And pretty much all of Tommy's cars suffer from weird STEER_ASSIST and FFMULT values in car.ini. STEER_ASSIST needs to be 1.0, and FFMULT usually somewhere in the 0.75-1.25 range, depending on preference and car.

But as far as my knowledge goes, STEER_ASSIST should pretty much always be set to 1.0, for all cars.

nivekBSs 90s Super Tourers BOP Project v.0.99

This is my attempt to BOP the well known and beloved 90s Super Tourers. I have driven several BTCC championship seasons and achieved good mixed up results with the following cars: NOTE the update 0.99 pm3dm_bmw_320i_stw pm3dm_volvo_s40_btcc...

For those interested - i have updated my 90s Supertourers "BOP Project" Goal was to improve the VRC cars a bit, especially the newest 2 french ones

 

[JK1977]

Hard to tell from the pics - fixed?
If you update the full car, please include all the skins released thus far too.
Please also include the correct human-speed shifter hand from the drive3d.ini I posted with the shift animation.

yep

For winter issue, simply you have setup wrong the seasonal adjustment in CM (is a common issue that hundreds of users had).
On bahrain no idea, probably you have a wrong/bad updated config or something that have compromised the package causing that issue.

could you remind us of where to find that setting? It's always winter for me at Portimao and Crystal Palace, but I don't know which box to tick or where to find it. Thanks in advance!

yeh there was a chap over on RD ( i think maybe AccAkult) or however you spell it he done the Lotus Tiga Esprit

he mentioned exactly the same as what you have mentioned some of the DTM car's had real weird values assigned to them

pretty sure Tommy goes like this:

3d = good enough

physic's = recycle bin (on some car's not all)

The first Ford is from my Hometown, tho they only have their 89' RS500 left in the shop

My Town aint really big but it has 2 Great Racing Teams, one is Ford Ringshausen which raced in the DTM from 85 to 91.
The other one is Schnabl Engineering which is also known as Falken Motorsport in GT3 but also raced the Maseratis in the old GT1 category

No race team in my town, but back in 1999 and 2000, we had the FIA Ice Challenge races

Also, notice how none of them have visible hydraulics jacks

Hello shi




I have a question

I have the 1998 season Virtua Simulazioni cars installed (which I think are the ones from the video demo), but the camera only shows the nose of the car.
How can I make the camera show it like you have it in the video?



Thanks

In CM, if you seem to have disabled a car by mistake, how can you find it to enable it again?

You are correct. Thank you. I was trying to disable some default skins for a car but didn't realize I wasn't on the skins section yet.

It should be adjustable in Onboard Settings.

 

[FerrariFan9]

Any chances you can improve the ground mesh by avoiding that the "mickey lake" and "infield" meshes overlap themselves with the "2GRASS" meshes causing (for CSP users) grass spawning everywhere? Thanks anyway for your work, appreciated.

Both track (this and chicago) missing the hotlap spawn point.

Yeah I should I tried to get rid of that the normal way but for some reason grass kept going through. Thought I disabled grass fx so maybe ill just raise the lake up a bit.

 

[StoffelWaffle]

My town doesn't have a racing team (but a huuuge music festival) but I live a stone's throw away from WRT and Comtoyou Racing. Kinda neat

Thats why I always contact the mod maker by publishing on what I think should or how to be improved after I tested his mod. Pity most do not even care, as if they prefer quantum more then quality.
just my humble opinion.

We should have fun in AC, shouldn't we? 2024 update of my Slovakia Ring comming soon, together with Rally Stage and Karting layout...

And pretty much all of Tommy's cars suffer from weird STEER_ASSIST and FFMULT values in car.ini. STEER_ASSIST needs to be 1.0, and FFMULT usually somewhere in the 0.75-1.25 range, depending on preference and car.

But as far as my knowledge goes, STEER_ASSIST should pretty much always be set to 1.0, for all cars.

I've found by lowering the ffmult and lowering the steering assist (say for example 0.75) can give a bit more surface detail. I mean, I personally like a mid range detailed wheel, so I like a lot of noise through my wheel. Upping the ffbmult to 1.0 tends to drown out a lot of detail - almost like using damping. But it's horses for courses. A mate of mine likes his FFB to be a test of strength all the while it's fully clipping and in the red, but that's what is correct for him 🤷 mine rarely leaves 50%-65% FFB force with the in game meter.

 

[alexlockout]

and FFMULT usually somewhere in the 0.75-1.25 range, depending on preference and car.

I may be wrong, of course, but as far as I know, FFMULT is the degree of force feedback amplification, and it does not have any specified limits (like 0.75-1.25), but directly depends on the geometry of the front suspension arms, for one suspension it can be - 1.0, and for another - 21.151 (like the Kunos Lotus Type 25)

Encrypted models and terrible physics with unrealistic grip values, Seems like your average Patreon mod.
