Con un lunghissimo articolo sul blog ufficiale, il team GTL Workshop ci informa dell'arrivo ormai imminente per GTR2 dell'attesissimo Power & Glory Mod versione 3! L'articolo ci informa anche su cosa dovremo aspettarci per quanto riguarda le gomme, l'assetto, le classi e le vetture che avremo a disposizione.

Power&Glory V3 is in the final stages of completion. You might be one of these long time users of our mod, or you maybe someone that only now got interested by it. In any of the cases, we thought it would be nice to introduce you in all the little changes we made in the game menus for P&G v3,0, so that the experience with the mod gets a little more pleasant, practical, and closer to how we wanted it to be.

Back in late 2008, the P&G v2.0 menus introduced new aesthetics and style that could fit better the theme of P&G, but we always wanted to keep the GTR2 menus overall layout and schematics, being very intuitive and practical. Like they say, "no need to reinvent the wheel"....

Some screenshots where you can see all garage parameters. Everything is based on the car manual so I think I'll release a basic manual to setup the car properly.

25 is the fixed blade lenght (not adjustable), 2,0 (not solid) is the thickness and 5 are the positions available for this solution, but you don't have to understand the engineering solution to use it. The garage result is pretty easy, as you'll get 5 different ratios for soft and other 5 for stiff, so when you use this ARB you'll get 10 different ARB rates in the garage from min (softest) to max (stiffest). For the 7 position you'll get 14 different values...

Lo ripeto sempre: Grand Prix Legends non morirà mai. Lo dimostra il fatto che, dopo tutti questi anni passati dal rilascio del mitico sim by Papyrus, ancora oggi arrivano notizie di nuovi mod, come ad esempio il nuovo e spettacolare CAN AM 1971 Mod, rilasciato proprio oggi e tutto da gustare...

EnduRacers Modding Team is sorry to announce that after having been contacted by Porsche AG, the Porsche GT3 Cup Series mod project will not be released to the public. We thank you for your support during the development.

rFactor 2 clearly needs some great tools in the physics department that will help modders to improve their workflow and save time. Either ISI will provide them or the community should write those tools. But they need to be created. Modding is already a really time consuming hobby as everyone is trying to focus more and more on the details (graphics and physicswise) so it shouldn’t be taking up more time than really needed.

To show physics in TV cam, you have to drive and record at the same time because replays don't contain all the physics elements. That means driving in 1/10 slow motion (control+g in rFactor) with a gamepad. The bouncing seems over the top because of the gamepad and slomo, making me apply incredibly fast steering inputs if it was real time. This causes more sudden kart jacking, weight transfer and the effect of the tires (weight) being moved in relation to the kart chassis causing all sorts of forces on the body. Still, it shows some cool shots, if only replays had the full physics fidelity I would do a super slomo replay of an actual lap rather than this 1st gear mucking about with a gamepad!
