Thanks, I'm all ready nau! Remember to also post the server info and password if you have one

Bear with me, just testing a few things...its a nightmare having a hostest server, you have to change so many .ini files, but think I am there.

Will move time to 8:30pm UK time

Fordie

Hi Hyperactive. See below

Brands Hatch Indy and GP

Croft

Donington GP & National

The Honda Civic is above, and also the Tyres.ini file to add to it.

I am hoping to have it up and running 8pm UK time

Regards

Quote from troy :

If you plan to get this going give me a shout and I'll add it as an event in the LFS AC group on steam, everybody should get a message on event start then, maybe we'll get some random joiners.

Cheers for that Troy. I was going to set the server up tonight, and see what happens, and maybe set it up as an event

Fordie

So just a question...would anybody like to have a "fun" race tomorrow nigh with the Honda Civic, on the British tracks...not matter how you think how bad they are???

I could change our server so its hosts, Brands GP and Indy, Donny, Croft, trust me..its a lot of fun....

Just asking

I have just played around with that Honda Civic posted above and although, not perfect, it is actually really enjoyable.

Here is the link: http://www.mediafire.com/downl ... 2/honda_civic_gra_v07.rar

Now what I have found, is it had WAY to much grip for a FWD, so played around with the tyres.ini and actually copied the Ford Escort tyres.ini file ( so you had the Slick options ) and for me...it a good fun, FWD racing car to drive.

Obviously get the Honda from above, and I have attached the tyres.ini file and put in the Data file..See what you guys think

PS - Non of this is my work, so total respect to the creators

damn, it was Jakg with the pimp mobile, wasn't it? I'm getting old on this forum aswell

Pimp Mobile...you lost me..At the UK First LFS meet, it was Scawen with the very nice, new, BMW M3, and damn....what's his name...Cougar with the Caterham, spinning wheels and taking Florin for a ride of his life ROFL

Be pissed off at the devs if you like, but there's no need to take it out on other members who don't share your mood or view. I'm sure you can find a civil way to make your point.

But Gunn....how can he be, he joined in 2011 and a Demo driver so not only has he missed the boat....he was on the wrong friggin Island

But what about that "hairdresser's car" you still have that ?

Quote from R3DMAN :

i think its sucks even tho ive raced there myself.. flat and boring.

I agree Sinbad and R3dman, just was giving examples....I know the M30, Lotus etc etc are not super /hyper cars, but they are not your ordinary FWD fun cars either....

Where are the "apart from the Seat" that is modded, where are the fun FWD cars as well...not everybody likes fast RWD hyper/super fast cars for racing or single seaters...there is not a level balance in what Kudos is providing...that is what I was getting at....its been left up to the talented people that can mod, but people sham them because it is not up to Kudos's level and it wont be, as they are not paid for it.

We need a more level playing field, that is what I was getting at

Quote from Töki (HUN) :

ASSETTO CORSA featuring RSR Nurburg!

Sounds good.

Oh great....more tracks that are aimed at Track Days than good old fashioned paint swapping, close racing circuits

It is wasn't for the modders out there, all we would have is over powered, RWD ( apart from the Fart) and tracks (apart from Silverstone ) that are based on high end cars.

I :bowdown: to the modders out there and thank them for making AC not just a Hypercar/supercar simulator

Fordie

As nobody has commented on my post, I have tried that Escort Mk2...and it is actually a lot of fun...yeah a few tweaks here and there is needed, but it such a nice change from all these over powered monsters that seems to be what everybody wants.

Escort Mk2 @ Brands Hatch = Heaven Best of British

Quote from R3DMAN :

I have already spoke to kunos about including a laser scanned croft, £30,000 is what it would cost.

And just so you know.. They paid a lot for silverstone to be in the game.

Best we all start a whip around then

Fordie

Has anybody else tried the *cough Escort MK2 cough*

I saw skins for it, and I have now located the download for it. Going to give it a burn tonight when I get home

Fordie

Quote from R3DMAN :

both crofts are pretty shit..

its a shame nobody wants to scan it as i know the manager and he says its open to be scanned for free, he wants nothing out of it.

I heard, there is a "cost" for scanning a track....or is this what the Track Owner charges, or is it what is costs for use of equipment...I.e Scanning?

The owner might be up for a freebie, but if it, and I heard, 10K per circuit, Kudos is not going to pay that for a UK circuit...no matter how good it is and historic

Quote from DratsaB :

I haven't seen Tiago release a bad conversion yet.

*cough* Croft

Conversion done but Tiago...Haven't tried it yet, as on wrong PC but just seem it.

It looks good....but is it driveable?

Wow....fair play to the chap, and good on him. Even in karting he was committed, competitive and fast, so I have nothing but respect for him to push his career further..

I have wished him the best of luck

Quote from Boris Lozac :

Haven't tried the Brands Hatch, gonna give it a go..

Fantasy tracks, meh.. i don't know, i've had my fair share of fantasy in my time Sticking with real tracks from now on, real racing tracks that is, wouldn't mind some awesome fantasy touge or rally track.

I posted mainly the tracks that pop up on AC forums, not race department and other sites, have no idea why they don't post it on official forums.

Brands is actually good, like you said give it a bash....

I agree, now we have the "choice" I do prefer real tracks......the majority of them I know where I am going...which helps, but Blackwood is an acceptation to that rule LOL

Yeah I have noticed more and more are appearing on RD site, because of copyright issue's, I am only guessing, or AC Team doesn't like them posted, not sure, so I do take a look at the RD site from time to time.

Glad I did

Quote from Boris Lozac :

I'm gonna lay down on the plate for anyone not following the tracks development.

Worthy of download are: Brno, Salzburgring, Croft, Magny Cours (if you can find it cause it seems it's 'ilegall') Everything else i've tried it's pretty crap..

Donington
the "new" brands hatch I posted above
Blackwood
Gentrack1
Newbury 2002 + 2006
Prato Long + Short
Aosta Grand Sport

Come on Boris...

@Tristan & Sinbad & ACCAkut

Just found another version of Brands Released, not seen it mentioned, but just tested it, and it is miles better than the first version.

The one download also includes the Indy Circuit....see what you all think, but I like it.
