New TCR Series

[Baikal]

Morning guys! Woken up to Imole prac and race )))
Oschersleben is one of the best for me from GTR2 times.
In AC we have an old convert by Mitia Bonca and i've raced it with BMW 235I cup long ago. Was good.
Tomorrow i'll check it in RD and will test i will can to surface and online functionality ) If nobody have the other info )

[Jeffrey]

I need help from you guys for testing tracks etc as I simply don't get enough spare time sadly    so let me know whats good and whats carp! including those tracks on my provisional list.

Why rush it, if you need time, take the time or just pick tracks that were already used in the past.

[Baikal]

Mark, just checked Oschersleben 2017. This convert  is not updated more than 1 year, containing flat surface  without phisics mesh.
And ... very not optimized at all . With small amount of details it have up to 3-9 times more  triangles and 3D objects than very massive but optimized Kunos Silverstone GP track.... It will be lags, freezes  online. Cars in pack are not ideally here too ( its not correctable thing in practice) So we need good tracks for it.

oke. thanks for testing it out Baikal. Have you tried the Knutsdorp track from AC Reboot perhaps?

[Mark J]

Well done for testing Baikal. But I don’t think we have any problem with the provisional track list after trying a few out tonight. Those that I thought I wouldn’t like are pretty good with these cars 
I tried Oulton fosters, vallelunga classic and magione with a 15 car grid and all good.
Alfa internals were fine with my Rift.

This is a great little mod, the cars look good and sound good and move about quite realistically  I think we are all going to really enjoy racing these feisty critters  should be great fun, well done Alexey

I'll try and take a look tomorrow in between packing and checking the car for leaks...

[Stefan aka Postal]

Indeed. I had a quick go too and these cars handle like you would expect them too. Nice ffb also. Should give some close racing.
I will follow my team leader and hop into an Alfa Romeo. Probably a red one, as those are faster..

I'll test this track this evening, Stefan 

Mark, i completely forgot about Vallelunga Classic config!    IMHO- it should be a one of best choices here, will check too ( some later today)

Glad to hear you guys . Credits to all 3d modellers of cars used in this pack and Shaun for phisics, Thanks to Kunos for modding support! And for TT 
It was not so hard , for me and my mate, but in result it's all taken 1+ month ) Thanks to Ilya Yousupov for his Content Manager 
It was not first project in AC. But still very interesting 
It is a pity that not all the cracks in the panels of cars and windshields could be closed 

[Jeffrey]

I'll have whatever isn't taken yet, but only if I have a ini and lut file for the protyres app. Does anybody know how to convert the SEAT files to any of the modded cars?

[Baikal]

Jeff, i am not using this app, but all you have there- is the same cars like other AC cars. So you can just use app as its directed by app author. Why not?

[Mark J]

@ Baikal, i tested Vallelunga Classic last night, works well with these cars so thats in  

@ Jeff, so far only Stefan and i have chosen a car! (Team Alfas   ) so take your pick  

ps first rounds 1&2 at Oulton is posted under race threads    i'e been a busy boy!  Just need some entrants now  ...let me know below please.

Driver list:-

MJ - Alfa
Postal - Alfa
Baikal - Subaru #111
nfsw - Alfa #4?
Jeff - #7 Honda Civic Castrol
Picnic - Subaru

[Stefan aka Postal]

Vallelunga is a great track. 

Guys, what are your thoughts on using slightly different track grip levels and grip lap gain for this series? Heat two should provide a little more grip no?

[Jeffrey]

Jeff, i am not using this app, but all you have there- is the same cars like other AC cars. So you can just use app as its directed by app author. Why not?

The folders have changed and I don't think the mod finds it by itself, I also tried some modded cars and it also doesn't find the tyre info, so I need to change some files or folders, I don't know how tho. Is it as simple as changing the folder name?

@ Jeff, so far only Stefan and i have chosen a car! (Team Alfas  ) so take your pick 

I want as much variety as possible, so I'm just gonna pick something that hasn't been picked yet 

[Baikal]

IMO no needs grip evolution here. This tyres i SO gripy and planted , heating up to working T in 1 short lap. In usual 26\33 celsius will be fine. Keep in mind that these tyres is slightly uniqe in AC- have near zero tyre wear ))) But these things in complex giving a good car sence in whole race. imo. Drive and fight all we can manage here. It's good for me. No soap in tires here.

[Baikal]

Is it as simple as changing the folder name?

It should be Yes. Easy. You can ask it in app theme in forums. This cars is not have any differencies to other mods or stock cars. All of there has a standart data.asd file   If you still in trobles here- try to use orig seat files for your app . The tyres are the same with cars in pack.
