[SpecialKS]

Probably:

Giannini 500TV Montecarlo
Simca Sim’4
1970 NSU 1200 TT

[Daz9]

My list is

Suzuki Fronte
NSU TTS
NSU TT 1200
Escort BDB.......sorry, can rarely resist an Escort.....

I was hoping to take stuff that was different to try to ensure all cars are driven. If there are choices in Class 2 or 3 that are not taken I don't mind dropping on to them if needed, this is testing after all....

Some of the cars have very few skins, but I (at least) intend to make some more before season start. If any of you want to make personal skin for the season, Here's your chance. Just ask templates for certain car and I will deliver link for them. After the skin is finished, you can sent it to me with email.

Even though quite few cars have changed physics, you don't need to limit yourself driving these only. It is very much needed to check everything works correctly so wide variety cars is good thing.

Here's the list of cars that have new or changed physics:
Under 500cc:
Suzuki Fronte Coupe

700cc:
None

850cc:
Simca Sim'4

1000cc:
All Cars

1300cc:
All Cars

1600cc:
All Cars

2000cc:
None

Over 2000cc:
None

I think I've got it off Page 1. Thanks.

Concerning personal skins: Nappe, did you make any graphical changes too or can we use skins from the original mods, as I'm unable to paint?

Apart from some car class issues everything seems Ok.

I had some weird problems last night. Due to a change of plans during the day I decided I would feel energetic enough to take part in some testing during the evening. I downloaded the NGL1970 HTC car set and installed it in a separate folder. I copied the GTL 1964 Saloon Car Champ Folder, changed the name where necessary, removed all the current cars and sounds and replaced them with the new Car and Sound folders.
I did this at about 5pm. By 6pm it was all working fine off line. I had a meal and joined at about 7.30pm, or tried to. When I got to the loading drivers screen and nocta was loading the screen locked up with just name nocta flashing in the middle of the screen. After about six re-entry attempts with different cars I got in with the Grp 2 Suzuki. Not a car I had ever driven before to my knowledge but it worked on the default settings although the Abarths seemed to be about 30 mph faster down the straights.

For race two I checked that I was trying to load the correct  Group 1 cars but was unable to join with any. The screen just kept scrolling though the list of all the drivers, their names flashing in the  centre of the screen and the background greyed out. I could only leave the programme by pressing Alt, Ctrl and delete. After about four attempts to join with different cars I noticed  in the background that all the drivers were using the Suzuki Grp 2 car so I thought I must have missed a post and tried to join with that but no joy. So I gave up and watched TV.

Looking at the results I see that the Group 1 cars I was trying to load were used and I was in the race in a Suzuki but DQ'd. Very strange because I never got into the pits even as my screen had locked up and I had to use Alt, Ctrl and delete to exit and close down the non responding programme.

I think I will delete and reinstall all but if anyone has any idea's as to what I did wrong or what happened please let me know. The system I used usually works so maybe it was a glitch or something got corrupted.

Mike, when you can't get past a screen showing another drivers name and you get the flashing you describe it means that you do not have the car that that driver is using correctly installed.

In order to race online, you must have all of the cars correctly installed on your system, even the ones you do not intend to use yourself.

Yep, no DQ.

It's been nice races yesterday. I like the new Simca 1000 a lot. The only thing i don't like in the mod are that few of the cars have hard brakes which makes them lock very easy and the volume level of the Giannini's. They are just too loud.

Well done to Lasse on some more excellent work on these cars, it certainly seems that the smaller cars are now closer to each other in performance. Should make for some excellent racing this season.

I had three great races, although two of them were quite uneventful, but just could not get the Capri to handle well around Donington in race 4. Very happy that the Minis now seem competitive, previously they were rather outclassed by their opposition.

Did not find any issues with the cars I drove other than getting the setups right.

Looking forward to the upcoming races, should be great fun.
