what started out as a simple file rename and clean up, has gotten totally out of hand with great results and has become the BMW 2800CS Version 2.1

If you already have Version 2.0 than you can simpley install the 2.1 patch, rather than dowloading the whole mod again

get it here:

Version 2.0 is almost a complete rebuild of the car body.

New meshes

New textures (inside and out)

New spoilers

New wheels BBS, Alpina, Schnitzer.

New working driving lights

Just to name a few of the things that have changed.

CHANGELOG:

Version 2.1

- Implementation of a second Bodystyle without the 2800CS logo on the trunk (switch genstring #1 to "2" to use the new bodystyle)

- Windows are now double sided so you can see what is on the other side when looking through the car.

- Adjusted BodyMask to make the Front spoilers less shiny

- Adjusted Windows Mask - Glossiness of the windows and banners adjusted

- Tweaked Frontspoiler on several skins by TICTOC

- small physics change to fix somthing I forgot to do, this will make the car just a touch slower on faster tracks.

All of this fantastic work on the update was done by Scyrion who spent many hours and took a brake from building his upcoming Scirocco for GTL to do it.

He has also made a very nice painting template.

I can not say enough about the quality of his work.

Scryion will release the template and all instructions on it, and how to use the new genstring within a day or so.

Please feel free to paint and upload any new cars for the mod.

There are also some small changes to the Physics.

Overall the feel of the car is very much the same, but it is capable of slightly faster lap times, and is a little less forgiving when you over step the limit.

The front has a bit more grip than it did before.

Also the gearing is slightly different due a change in the overall tire diameter.

Any set up you had for the old version will still be about right other than you will need to reset your final drive and or gearing.

And if it feels a bit loose a click stiffer on the front bar and/or front spring should bring it back.

Every car included in this version is a reproduction of a real Group2 BMW 2800CS

Most of them painted by Ed who worked very hard to make each of them as close to the real car as was possible with the photos available.

With the exception of cars # 66, #8, and #56 which were painted by the man himself Scyrion.

Almost every car here is from the 1972 season. But there are a couple from 70, and 71.

Ed is also working on more cars from the 70 and 71 seasons and he will be uploading them at NoGrip from time to time

Also there are new sounds for the car, which up to now has just used the standard CSL sounds from GTL

Big thanks to Czork for allowing me to use the sound Samples of the BMW "Big 6" from his BMW M1 add-on sounds for GTR2

I reworked them to be a bit less aggressive in an attempt to make them better fit the old 2800cs
