maybe when you decrease the radius of the tyre the car bottoms out, if that's the case you should probably raise the collider.ini
I'm actually increasing the radius to raise it up off the ground, I'm guessing I'm still going to run into physics based issues from what other people have said. I'll try increasing the colliders as well to see if that helps. Thanks to all that replied/helped out.
 
Speaking of tires and asphalt... I guess that when the wheels sink in sections of the track and look fine in other sections, the problem is with the track mod, not the car's, that there's no easy way to fix the problem and that solve it involves the use of (beyond my knowledge) 3D tools, right?

Mmmm... strange! These darker, bluer mountains on many tracks definitely seemed to start with the 2.57 build. Quite a few people have noticed this.
I'll check fog atmosphere is at 1.0 and also test with the Pure PPF.

Edit: @Peter Boese looks the same with Pure PPF, and fog atmosphere is at the default 1.0.

Concur. I've seen it as well. You asked before I could gather all the evidence :)
Pure 2.57, pure PPF, Fog atmosphere is at 1.0.

Edit. Solved by @Peter Boese. Reduce Fog Atmosphere :cheers:

Give this a shot?

Hi GT3Masters97 ! I have taken it all by hand , line by line, number by number :banghead: , and here’s the result , I don’t know if you can do it ?

Thank you very much!
The result is great! I'm looking for all the labels (the ones on the top left) but I can't find anything. For the dials there would have been the alternative: change them with the available versions, even if they are not correct. However, with the work you did I don't think there is any need anymore, they came out really well

indeed I also have a lot of trouble to find reliable images!

the rest of the symbols are less visible in the car so less important

Thanks again !

Umm, that folder is empty in my Content Manager installation. Anyway, someone else already mentioned where the AC game stores the AI names and I already made a few changes that I wanted.

On a different note, here comes my new (noob) question: how can I make the AI pit at least one time in Weekend mode? (in the race itself). They pit on the practice and qualify sessions, but when it comes to the race they don´t pit at all. I set up a 20-lap race and I was the only one that I was forced to pit because of tire degradation. That made me loose a lot of time and finally fell to last position of the grid :lol:

I have heard about the AI pitstop strategy from Nuzzi, but not sure if it's good enough...the rolling start app from him it's a bit flawed.
 
You can use the app "Match start fuel with AI App 1.6" by Nuzzi. I've tested it now and it works really well. But it doesn't work for multiclass races (e.g. WEC with Hypercars and GT3) as all AI cars get exactly the same fuel amount as the player's car. If the player's car has only fuel for the half of the race and you have to pit, the AI will also need to pit.

Make sure you're on the latest version of SimHub - 9.7.8. I did my extensive testing on 9.7.6. I assume it requires a very recent version of SimHub to work.

That worked, great idea, thank you. For anyone else, I also had to unblock the .exe in the file properties for the installer to start. - happy rumbling, happy racing.
 
Hi !

Sorry but "better" in which way !?
Sorry,you're right... I mean in the BoP compared to the BMW. I've tried both, and with both it's difficult to compete against the BMW. But maybe I'm wrong about the setup...🤷‍♂️

Probably cause by the time the BMW started racing the 333SP was getting bent over the table and spanked left right and center? It was outclassed by a mile against the BMW lol
 
hi , anyone knows a fix for this flickering on the 2014 Ford Riley DP by Tomsim (v1.0) ?



(except for that it's an amazing mod! )

Yes, its true, its exactly as you say. They are two cars from different eras but in 1999 they ran together in ALMS. I would like to recreate the 1999 ALMS season, in a custom championship

Play around with the CM BoP system then? Add more weight to the BMW until it's on pace with the 333 SP

But to answer your actual question, RSS would be the best one. But legion's one you can also edit the data on (i assume). It's really up to you, You can as i said use the built in Content Manager BoP system to ballast the VRC BMW V12 to be on pace with the 333SP but that's about as far as you can get with the RSS and VRC variant.

Thank you very much. I will use the BoP system integrated in CM, in fact it's the most effective and convenient solution. I will also modify the Panoz Lmp
 
Maybe it happend after some tweaking of the fog engine itself.
Could you check, which "atmosphere" level would fit the older version?

I did some tests and it seems a value of 0.68 is working the best. Might be a result of fixing the lowest possible fog presence.
Did some test screens with various pp filters (always latest versions!!!). Value 0.68 for atmosphere and smog distance level at 0.720

Regarding the comatose state at loaded race with GT3 cars.
As long as I'm not using any of the ChemFlummi's (anyone, 296, Continental, Callaway and Reiter) everything is right.
My system doesn't like them. I do, sadly. The Reiter's Gallardo scream haunts me in my sleep.
Maybe if I cut down the grid count to 15 I could load a few of those but that's it.

I thought it was getting worse with latest CSP. Once I removed the "offending" cars the performance of 24 GT3 cars is really better, Ilya made it tighter.

Maaan, why the CF cars are so cool but so cursed.

I just tested this app along with Fuel Manager and Nuzzi's pitstop strategy and I'm still having the issue, unfortunately. I watched the race replay and it turned out the reason of the AI not pitting at all is that they magically get refuelled when they burn around 50 % of the fuel amount they carry on their cars (which btw I set the exact amount like me with "Match start fuel with AI" app) . I have no idea why is this happening, but it's so weird. It might be that these apps do not work very well with Weekend mode or maybe that Fuel Manager is conflicting with the other apps.
