What do you mean by no visual damage. Do you mean dents and scratches? rF2 doesn't dent or scratch unless I missed something. Wheels may fall off in the mod but only under extreme circumstances. Spoilers/wings may fall off under extreme circumstances in the mod. In real life V8Supercars , wheels don't fall off either, In real life I haven't seen a spoiler fall off for a number of years. What sort of damage were you thinking it needed and if possible we could look at that?
There are duplicates in the files but during the creation ISI did allow the naming of certain parts, would have been great if it was like that at the beginning but the amount of duplicated parts is not that big. The sounds are the largest part of the files and we're happy to leave it as it is and would prefer that you don't work on compression, we prefer that people leave it as is. We have lots of parts inside it so that we can add our Supertourers and our 2012 V8's to it soon as our last hurrah. We separated the cars for a reason and I am happy for the files to remain as is. Our file sizes are equivalent to all the other mods except we have 5 cars in the mix, therefore 5 times the size. It makes it easier for updating and downloading for us. We did try as one rfcmp but it makes for a lot of work if that fails. At least with 5 separates we only have to update one car at a time. We've been messing with rF2 since before release and once we started in this direction there was no turning back, after all it is a hobby and I was getting time poor. Maybe down the track we could look at it but nah - just enjoy it or not.
