FRM FURI RACE MODS - LE MANS 2017 WIP

RELEASE: BTCC TRACKPACK 4.0 - THE FINAL VERSION.

12 months after I started messing about with Oulton Park and Knockhill for fun, I have finished my largest ever project. The BTCC TRACKPACK is finished. Download links to 3.0 will be deleted. So, what is new inbetween 3.0 and 4.0?

The first thing is a new track, an overhauled version of Pembrey for GTR2 with new AIW (JMadria) and road resurfacing as well as fixing some errors and making some spectators a little less suicidal.

Thruxton's transformation is complete with a period accurate pit exit that puts you right into the firing line of the oncoming field into the first corner. Also enjoy working on your cars in the new paddock area back of the track, fine tuned by JMadria.

Knockhill also has another tweak, as JMadria improves an already formidable AI into kerb hopping monsters. Over at Brands Hatch AI are going to be more offensive into Paddock Hill bend.

There's a lot more tinkering "under the hood" as well in 4.0. All championships GDB's have been checked with some errors fixed and adjusted, and certain events have been given there actual race weekend name from the period.

Everything's been bug tested, fixed, and done to death. A major thanks to contributors GTPorsche, RACECAR, Sylphide, RallyMorten, JMAdria for varying roles and this leaves just one thing left - download the 2 files, check that readme, and get racing.

Thanks, Alex

Thank you

Thank you

Thank you very much for this great job...

I have a little issue : I can't find the national layout in track selection.

Only available :
- Silverstone Grand Prix 90s
- Silverstone International 90s

Is it just me or anyone else has this problem ?

Well thanks in advance for reply...

Seems I'm the only one in trouble with National layout.

Thanks anyway !!!

Thank you for your Dubai 2017 track!
Great to see more cars on track, than by the original track from GTR2.

"Everything's been bug tested, fixed, and done to death. "

Not completely, Brands GP has an issue were some cars can't leave the pits, they just sit there. It always seems to be the same pit. The first pit also has an issue but that is ok as you can push the cars and they start moving. This is especially a big issue in qualifying as the car in question doesn't set a time and the grid is randomised, leave production cars at the front, and the touring cars at the back.

Same issue at Knockhill, and here the cars get knocked and get damaged.

Never encountered this bug myself, anyone else here with the same issue?

it's  shitty Simbin programing  specific to GTL/ GTR2     that can be exarbated by some tracks    , mods with low powered cars  often have it  ,  the AI simply doesn't stay on gas pedal  long enough and car doesn't move out of garage

GTP_furinkazen  this bug appears only if you let the natural session progress or time acceleration   , if you use SKIP session this bug doesn't show up  


what it helps is  to try to set lower 1st default gear for the AI  ,    and also experiment with this line in ENG file  LaunchRPMLogic=(6000.0, 7000.0)   maybe with other  figures it works   with more torque
 
, if it's track specific   it ususaly cos the garage exit is in a slope      and a lower 1st gear may be not enough, if the problematic car has it on default SImbin track like Monza/ Imola etc   torque is too low on the launch RPM and 1st gear too high

what it defentely helps is more torque on the AI launch range but that would require editing the ENG files  so would be the very last thing to do


the first thing to experiment is to see if it's just a certain model of car affected or    all do it

Is this why at default Spa cars often get stuck in the pits?

you can check what I mean if you switch into a AI car , it revs up  to the launch RPM   clutch is let go  and if car moves just a little or not at all the Ai doesn't continue to accelerate  it just let's go....

it's just shitty Simbin programing, I have't seen this issue   with a single Rfactor mod

if it moves just a bit  the car is  teleported   back into pit garage space  and must start over     the result  AI cars dont' t go out to practice



there was a discussion here and the most fail safe way was more torque in ENG file for the launch but dunno if maybe a shorter first gear might be enough

on the other hand if it's just one garage at Brands GP maybe check if the garage exit is in a upwards slope and maybe somehow edit the track so it isn't anymore ?

Thanks for the STW and BTCC track packs. Love how you changed them up to represent the era for the Super Touring mod.

Off to try them out.

A version 4.0 update is in the works!

"But you said this was the last one?"

Yep, but a true craftsman never stops - this should be when done a small (in file size) update focusing on a couple AIW and GDB tweaks.

Make sure at Turn 2 you don't have 9 car pile ups like me
