350k km is Nothing, Australian ford Falcon ex-taxi on LPG gas are sold off at around 500 to 650k km and run for another 200k no problem. but who in 2024 drives over 200k km on one car anyway.... cars are basically disposable items nowIf I could choose between that and an 850 estate, regardless of purpose... 🤣
I think 90% of grown Scandinavian men have owned a Volvo estate wagon at some point in life. I have owned a '97 V70 2.0l, which over time was painted in five different shades of blue, because of hard use and cheap repairs. Including my ex hitting a full grown horse with it. But the car was sold as fully functional, with an MOT, and not even rusted through anywhere, when I got rid of it at 350k km.
Try treating a Ford like that, and see if it's still a running car at 350k km... 👍
Australian Fords are obviously not the same as European Fords... And I guess the Australian winters aren't quite as harsh as the Scandinavian ones.350k km is Nothing, Australian ford Falcon ex-taxi on LPG gas are sold off at around 500 to 650k km and run for another 200k no problem. but who in 2024 drives over 200k km on one car anyway.... cars are basically disposable items now

just paid a month subscription. the 850 mod is ok to look at, not very good to drive. ide prefer it being manual instead of crappy paddle shift, as it was manually operated sequential, not finger paddle shiftsyou can find the volvo and others btcc here
you must be driving a different car to me then, my version doesnt have any paddles at all it has a sequential shifter in both, i must be missing the point, it wouldnt be the first timejust paid a month subscription. the 850 mod is ok to look at, not very good to drive. ide prefer it being manual instead of crappy paddle shift, as it was manually operated sequential, not finger paddle shifts
We had a local jeweller who had the same MB 300 since he bought it new in the 70's, used it as his daily driver until he passed away a few years ago. That one passed 1 million kms in the late 90's.Those old hand built air cooled Porsches are quite durable too. Very simple cars actually.
I have thought the same about the gearbox, and as a Volvo-nut I'm looking into tweaking the gearbox and other stuff to make it more authentic. I think most of the physics come from the PM3DM Volvo S40, with adjusted gearbox, wheelbase, centre of gravity etc., so that should be ok. I have been playing with both the gearbox, the aero and the cg, can share it with you when I feel it's good?just paid a month subscription. the 850 mod is ok to look at, not very good to drive. ide prefer it being manual instead of crappy paddle shift, as it was manually operated sequential, not finger paddle shifts

i also have a dedicated, working sequential gear stick in the Cyril Cherry mod...you must be driving a different car to me then, my version doesnt have any paddles at all it has a sequential shifter in both, i must be missing the point, it wouldnt be the first time
It's probably the electronic autoblip function he means, which this car shouldn't really have. Small detail, though.i also have a dedicated, working sequential gear stick in the Cyril Cherry mod...
thankgod you said the same i thought i was going madi also have a dedicated, working sequential gear stick in the Cyril Cherry mod...
thats fair enough i see what you mean nowIt's probably the electronic autoblip function he means, which this car shouldn't really have. Small detail, though.

It all started to go downhill in 1999 when Ford aquired the company. And even steeper downhill when it ended up in Chinese hands in 2010...Volvos are known for their reliabilty, but i was the one unlucky
I owned a 2.0L V60 D4, his twin-turbo died suprisingly @105k km (i was always treating him good) and i sold him instead of repairing, because my wife saw the "opportunity" finally to switch in compact SUV category ...
I am still sad , because if i rank all cars i ever owned, it was overall the best one. V60>CRX, A3, A4, Octavia VRS, 3008gt-l)
410.000 kms did my old and poorly treated 206 1.9D, with a yearly mantainance cost that would be logic in case of being a Delta HF Integrale... Thank Goat it died. I'm the happiest person on the earth with my brand new 106 1.6 rallye, a whole life to come for him.When obligued by circumstances I retired my yearned Seat Ibiza TDI 110cv, the odometer showed 390.000 glorious kilometers, during which it hardly had any repairs apart from the usual maintenance.
The interior trim groaned like a pirate ship, the heating didn't work well and every time I fully accelerated, several polar bears died and Greta felt a disturbance in The Force, but the engine kept starting at first try, worked like a clock, ran like a devil and barely consumed fuel...
I have the feeling that it would have lasted another 400.000, at least...
Try adding this to extconfig.iniCan anyone suggest what I might try to lighten up the dark windscreen on this '58 Cooper T43 (f1_1958_cooper_t43 / f1_1958_cooper_t43_bop_1)? I can't figure it out. Any help would be appreciated!

How, copy the only the cmpreset file, Thats it?nice previews you have there, would you mind sharing your CM preview file?
Bazza did 1975. https://thracing.de/formula-one-1975/
I've seen 74 and 76 carsets floating around but not sure if they are done nicely or not.

Thank you.
ok! i will update itLooks pretty good! Cant wait until it gets to version 1.0!
One thing I noticed right away was the moving racing line.
You can probably see it on the photo.View attachment 1396103
Check your PM pleaseok! i will update it
@Rodger Davies @Quark67 @racinjoe013 Many thanks to you guys. That solved it. Turns out ThicknessMult for the inside of the windscreen was the key. At 0.0, you end up with a light tint:Try adding this to extconfig.ini
Write the windscreen mesh after "Meshes ="
Adjust "BrightnessAdjustment =" value
[INCLUDE: common/materials_glass.ini]
[Material_Glass] ; front
Meshes =
IOR = 1.5 ; index of refraction for glass, usualy, 1.5
FilmIOR = 0.42 ; redefine IOR for external film layer to increase reflections
ThicknessMult = 3.05 ; thicker glass passes less light through
ProfileFix = 0.00 ; adds thickness to glass for glazing angles
BrightnessAdjustment = 0.05

Tracks have been updated to new versions. Use the links in the quote to get the updated version for whichever track variant you use.HungaroringACC
My version of the ts_hungaroringACCv03 track made to look the way I prefer. There are two versions you can try so please don't skip reading the rest of this post. Both are standalone versions so they won't mess with the original tracks and can easily be deleted if you don't care for my changes.
rj_hungaroringACC: My version of the ts_hungaroringACCv03 track with too many changes to describe. I would suggest starting with this track to make sure you like the changes. If you do then I would delete this and download the track below.
Link: rj_hungaroringACC
rj_hungaroring: A standalone version of Fenryr's fn_hungaroring v1.3 track made to look like the above rj_hungaroringACC track. Fenryr's version is far superior to what I did with the separate GT and F1 layouts, the compatibility with Pyyer's F1 extensions and other numerous improvements he made. I would highly suggest you use this version instead of mine, but that's your choice.
Now for the confusing part and I hope language barriers don't make this hard to understand. The changes I made to the rj_hungaroring track kind of messed up Pyyer's F1 extensions. If you want to use the F1 extensions from Pyyer, I included the changed files needed in order for them too work properly. First you will want to install Pyyer's extensions into the rj_hungaroring track folder. Then extract all the files in the 'Files_for_Pyyer_F1_mods' folder from the download package and overwrite when it asks.

Track skins:
There are a bunch of track skins you can use or delete if you don't need them. The Grass Dry, Grass Greenish and Grass Lush skins are self explanatory. The Seasonal Trees skin will change the tree textures to give a more seasonal accurate look. I.E., bare in the winter, semi leafless in the late fall, etc. The AC_Crew skins will change the pitlane crew objects to have series specific sponsors.
Notes:
-- As always, any shader value I changed from it's original value gets placed in the Shader Stuff section of the ext_config file. You can edit them to get a look you prefer.
