Does the basey in suspenson.ini is important, or I can adajust the radius on tyres only ?
I let the basey=0
Not sure if you got your answer but yes, basey is important. It is the main setting for the car ride height and adjusting this will also show in cm showroom where rod length does not. I suggest set your basey so in game the car shows the approximate ride height you are looking for as shown in the pits/setup area. Then add rod length to fine tune.

if you want to change it to extra_a, then open ext_config and change the following lines:

Did this work at your end?
For me the DRLs are still on by default, the rear lights and instrument lights are both on as part of the DRLs by default, and still need to be turned off every time.
For clarity, what I'm trying to achieve is having all DRL functions OFF by default, and only turned on when EXTRA_A is pressed. Ideally, the rear lights would also not form any part of the DRL activation.

Edit: some progress. Searching for all references to EXTRA_A in the config and ensuring that any 'calc:EXTRA_A_INVERSE + LIGHT' references are changed to EXTRA_A makes the DRLs OFF by default (YAY!) ...but (and I had this issue in the past when trying to fix Maid Cafe's weird 'on by default' DRLs) the rear lights now do not light up when the headlights are turned on. I wish I understood his thinking with these DRLs and why he set them up this way.

Does anyone either have a BOP for the Kunos Lotus 98T for the Formula RSS 1986, or a skin for the Formula RSS 1986 for the Lotus? It's the only skin I just cannot find, and the 98T seems to be at a huge disadvantage compared to the RSS 1986.

Here you go. Full Lotus 98T 1986 grid by Alystar.

I removed the cockpit adjustable turbo. It worked like a DRS button and it was way too easy to cruise to victories on every track as AI was way too stupid to use it correcfly.

I set the turbo boost accordingly so that the lap times are way more realistic (like 1:53'ish on Spa etc) I also removed the engine failures as they created major traffic issues.

I added all helmets, gloves and suits to every skin.

Added sparks to the cars

Added vintage BBC TV graphics Python leaderboard (video still shows SimHub version)

Personally I always thought this Lotus98T based 1986 season drove better than RSS and it was easier to get more realistic QF/race results with this skin based system.

Thanks! From your images it seems like the number plate light comes on with EXTRA_A (DRLs)? Only front DRLs should come on with EXTRA_A, and no cockpit instruments should light up with DRLs in case those were missed too.
To avoid confusion/mistypes/misinterpretation, can you please upload the complete amended config?
Many thanks again.

DRL on the C6 is ONLY the front flasher. As is, the car have the light switch at Parking, which illuminate the parking lights (front and rear side light, rear taillights and license plate lights)

hey guys,

could someone test something for me : Using the broken kicker cars app https://www.overtake.gg/threads/broken-cars-kicker.277178/ , can you modify an ai car brake hint value in the app to a stupid value (like 0.2), exit the session, start it again and watch if the ai hints are called and applied at the start of the game if you don't open the app UI? If yes, the AI car should brake waaaay before normal straight after starting the game, without touching anything. If not, it should look like the ai car is not using the broken car app AI hints modifications. Then open the app UI, car hints, and see if they are applied.

If you have extra time, in Weekend mode, check if the ai hints are applied while switching from a session to another (practice->quali->race) when you don't call the app.

The LUA debug shows no hints are called until i open the app UI (and i don't see ai cars applying them anyway). The issue being, of course, the app is quite perf costly once the UI is open, and i don't want to open it each time i start a race. I also want the hints to be applied without checking twice in the lua debug.

I fixed it in the script but i want to make sure this is a new issue with latest CSP or whatever before reaching the app author with the corrective patch, and not an issue related to my own CSP/CM system.

Good idea; when someone contributes a solution piecemeal, I'm always left wondering if I implemented it correctly, or if I missed something and installed it incorrectly...
 
https://www.overtake.gg/downloads/rouen-les-essarts-update-madbrain-version.79478/

Here is the last main update for Rouen les Essarts :-)

Fixed many small things that took time (especially the small holes between meshes ... :banghead:) but the main work was creating the night lights that are now available for each layout.

I don't remember the track had lightning at any time so I mixed between normal road spot lights placed at the beginning or middle of each turns and special lightning near the finish line and the main stands. I thank a lot @leBluem for the object lightning because I used his ext-config.ini for the extralong version by MadBrain and there were already plenty of stuff.

Johnny Speed @overtake added new AI lines for 72-73 and 74-94 layouts that should be compatible with CSP 0.12.preview and former CSP versions.

I added VAO patches that I generated again with bakery optix, thanks to @RMi_wood that made the first version :-)

In the future, I'd like to add a new antenna for the modern layouts as it is not exactly like that in reality and also I'd have to modify the stands by adding two floors in white concrete with windows, so that it matches better the reality of the track in the 80's.

But for now I'll take a break with this track, just debugging things as the reports come, and my next focus will be on the blue flag and rain tyres change things in lua ;-)

Hi.
This release is a bit different, it contains whole car (3d model and physics).
Unfortunately i don't know original author, but You can find it on overtake, folder name zs_rover_mini_newmap.
This mod has its own folder, so You can keep original mod.
I want to Thank forum member Pete82 for providing lots of technical info about a car, and testing it.

Car vas rescaled to realistic size, as i found original to small and not possible to fit 175/50R13 tires.
CG was moved a lot to front, as per technical info available for car.
Engine inertia tweaked to produce better throttle response as small engine should have.
Power curve adjusted to make realistic torque figures.
Drivetrain final ratio changed to realistic.
Suspension tweaked in a way to simulate very stiff setup with rubber cones.
Some aero tweaks to achieve realistic acceleration times.
Tires added a bit of grip, to represent modern Yokohama tires.
And other minor bugfixes.

Download.

Austin Minis have always stayed the same size as best they could over the years. BMW was the first to change that with the new Mini, but the car you've enlarged is completely wrong and much too big. Should you make the tires smaller instead of enlarging the car, or leave the mod by the author "https://www.overtake.gg/downloads/mini-cooper-sport-500.70652/" as it was?

Looks great! Will have a chance to test it when back home tomorrow morning. Thanks again.
You do know that you've now volunteered to provide similar fixes for all the other affected Maid Cafe cars, yes? Cool. Glad we cleared that up.
:)

Edit: ah, the link is just for the image, not for the actual config?

Did You measure original model in 3ds max, before making this post? Why do You think its correct, because its tiny?
If You not able to measure it, try comparing it side to side to modern mini and see if it is same size? But don't just use any modern mini as many rips suffer from incorrect scaling, but most of gran turismo rips have good scaling. Here is some examples how it should be Link
Here You can check metric diameter of this tire it is 506mm it means in asseto it should be 506mm thats how scaling works, You can not just make wheels smaller.
I don't see any proof in Your post, only picture which shows how tiny original mod is.
BTW plot twist: original author on overtake is Pete82 who contacted me and asked to help rework it. I did not know this at the moment of original post. In case You think I'm stealing other peoples mods for profit.

But please take in mind this: wheelbase of the real car is 203 or 204 cm, but your version is working with a 216.5 cm wheelbase, so the tiny model is more accurate; https://www.parkers.co.uk/rover/mini/saloon-1988/cooper-sport-500-2d/specs/ , https://www.classiccarportraits.co.uk/pages/Mini_Cooper_Sport500.htm , whats your source for the diameter of the tyre?

Well spotted i must have made some mistake in geometry then. I will look into this. My source is authors request to use 175 50 r13 tyres. Its an optional sport tire for this model.

UPD:
Hmmm somethings off. i did f up somewhere in my measurements.
Now 3ds max shows me different (correct sizes for original model).
Only problem is cm showroom track and wheel size is off, wheelbase is good.
And in game car is floating, this made me think size is off in the first place.
Question is is kunos centimeters for tires are bigger than normal?

This is my mod and I gived it Pilot3331 to improve a bit. Mini Cooper Sport 500 use for sure 175 50 r13 tires.

I might be mistaken but the model and your photo look to have very different fender flares. The model's flares curve much further in, no? Maybe the real car got bigger radius flares to accommodate the 13s?

I'm telling you from my experience. Unfortunately I've been there too. As a first step, always measure all the key geometries and compare them with the official measurements. Also, study the model's accuracy by comparing it with visual references (blueprints or images). The TVR I published in the past taught me a lot... for example, the model was created wider at the rear than its real-life counterpart. 😶‍🌫️

You're misunderstanding everything.
I just wanted to point out that your modified mod is way too big, and that the old Mini Cooper (1960s) and the other mod one (1990s) are almost exactly the same size, like in real life. Regardless of what 3ds Max says, all Austin Mini Mods should be too small in your opinion, but they aren't. They fit, just your modified doesn't.
ABB, Pessio and even Sim Dream have the correct sized model.

You resized the whole model to much, it was perfect as it was. like @Josuracer wrote.
It's all just nonsense, it's not that bad and no trouble, everything is already hard enough, thanks for your work.
