Downloading Historic GT & TC 1.96 because I couldn't get 1.95 to work and I can't figure out why since it's causing the game to CTD and not record anything in the trace file.
Odd, I just installed 1.95 myself and updated with no issue. When's the CTD happening?

When I switch mods and when I try to launch the game with 1.95 as the active mod. Whatever the issue is, it's preventing the game from loading anything related to that mod. I've had no issues with any other mod.

I just launch it from a Standone install.
 
I'm going to try that now.

Edit: Using a fresh secondary install, I copied the files from the original installation directly to the new install and it launched and loaded with no issues.

Edit2: Must be a conflict with another mod somewhere. I redirected the tracks folder in the rfm to see if there was any issue there and the game loaded fine. Now to put 1.95 back into my main installation and selectively enable mods until I find out which one is conflicting.

Edit3: 1.95 on it's own in my original installation won't even launch. I'm not sure what the issue could be.

Problem solved. Turns out the HISTORIC GT.cch file had erroneous data and wasn't letting the game load. Found this out accidentally when I copied the file to the standalone installation and noticed it stopped functioning when I launched the game in the same way it had on my main installation.
 
Finally tried the GTPC mod and it is awesome considering I couldn't find another Group C mod that worked. I have noticed (Especially compared to the GTR2 Group C IMSA GTP mod) that a number of cars are missing from it. Namely the Mercedes C9, Nissan R89CP, Jaguar XJR-9, Toyota TS010, etc. Anyone know of a mod that has these kinds of cars that works?

There's one but it's not a legal conversion.

Is there a way to insert GTR2 or race07 sounds into RF? Pretty disappointed with some of the super touring sounds, need to find a mondeo - esque V6..,,

What do you mean not a legal conversion? Like, if I were to DL it it would be illegal then? Geuss I'm stuck with GTR2 with my Group C racing then.

I'll check later how exactly. But unauthorised rips of other people's work are not on and the modding communities biggest nightmare.
 
I prefer GTR2 for little things like driver animations, but AI is too endurance orientated for me, the slow down at starts is horrendous. At least they follow full course yellows though.
I love doing 1 hour races with sped up time and fuel/tyres. X10 time and X5 the rest. I finally worked out how to do pit stops on GTR2.
 
If you could import sounds from Race there are plenty of cars from there. I have a Super Touring mod from 1998 that has a Mondeo if that is the Mondeo you are after or do you need a newer version?

It's the sound, I got the GTR2 and race versions but no idea how to convert it import.
 
RACE and rFactor, and I assume GTR2 as well, all use .wav files for sounds, so it shouldn't take anything to replace the sounds. Just a renaming of the file where it's needed.

It's sfx and aud file. Conversions tho.
 
.aud file can be opened in notepad. That's the file that sources what sounds are used for each car from the sounds folder. .sfx might be the same way. I don't have GTR2 to check that.
I do, If no one else has I'll see if I can check it when I get home in a few hours.
 
Looks like the ability to get to the index page of rfactor.net files isn't there anymore. That's where I had got Alabama Superspeedway, Concord Speedway and Ft Worth Speedway from but never managed to get them to work. Well, I never got all the files for Ft Worth, so I was trying to get to that page but I forget how I found it before.

Edit: Found the link on page 141 of this thread in a post I made. :lol: It's a dead link now. :(

Game kept crashing on startup so reinstalled and tried doing an NSCR race (All base content, no mods enabled) and when I was leaving the pits a goddamn car PURPOSELY hits me (Check replay for visual evidence) and puts me out the race. I must add that I had been leading for the entire race.

Crash is at 11:55
 
That happened because you merged onto the track improperly so the AI went into avoidance mode and the path one of them was given happened to be where you drove back to.


Also... How did you get that track to work? I've been trying for over two years...

Like I said, reinstalled game because of crashing. Works fine for me. Also, is there a way to stop the game semi-crashing* when leaving replays?

*It crashes but doesn't close the window so when I ctrl alt dlt (Alt tab doesn't work when this happens) it thinks I'm still on the game so I have to restart the PC
 
Had a second race and despite spinning out and getting wrecked, I still won! Was 2 or 3 laps ahead of second (I had better pit strategy) and span due to low grip on tyres (was going to pit that lap) and I span, car hit me. But I was far enough ahead (That and there was only 10 mins left) so that I still won the race.
