Formula Truck 2013

RaceNut · Mar 17, 2013

I was pleasantly surprised to wake up to find the email this morning - thanks Reiza!

My guess is that the clutch was not set up properly.

RaceNut · Mar 17, 2013

Yes, I use 2nd to start out and normally drive using 3rd through 6th. Increasing the overall gear ratio to run more RPM's helps too.

Guys please post issues here, big bugs, not general questions.

Reiza - could you write a little exe that checks you own both titles and then merges the content please

Rob Lawrie · Mar 17, 2013

Thanks for the help.. sry didn't realize it was a easy fix,

Renato Simioni · Mar 17, 2013

In the real trucks, they actually take the 1st gear off, and the 2nd is solely for taxing around the pits. Having both with equal ratios is how we emulated that in the current build.

Once up to speed, you should never go below 3rd. In fact it´s common for some trucks in some tracks to use only 5th/6th.

Majnu - try renaming d3d9.dll in FTruck root folder to something else - see if that works.

Renato Simioni · Mar 17, 2013

In the actual series, they use a single radar gun in each track, usually at the fastest straight, at which point drivers have to hit the brakes to pass under 160km/h. Everywhere else, they are unlimited and can go as fast as it will go. There is no speed limiter on the Trucks themselves.

Currently we have no plans to implement the radar feature - it´s basically one realism feature the game can do without.

I got Csw and clubsport pedal v1 and they work absolutely great.

Success - I renamed it to test.dll and it worked.

Thanks Reiza and to everyone who offered suggestions.
Gonna make a cuppa now and play this game.

I am afraid thats not going to be that easy

I already checked a few things, and they have changed some essential stuff in the game structure and file types. I am not sure all content of GSC (including custom content) can be merged that easy......

Marco Bijl · Mar 17, 2013

Thanks Reiza, for confirming. Appreciate the quick reaction again

.

I am glad to hear this actually. Would be such a shame if we would have to restrict ourselves to 160. Would be such a waste of beautiful power

I also have the CSW,clubsport pedals v1, and the thrustmaster TH8RS shifter and all works very good.

A full merge won´t happen, but the tracks one title doesnt have should at least eventually make their way into the other. Well some of them anyway, I dont think we´ll be much point porting Ribeirão from GSC to Formula Truck

The Mercedes have the shades on the rear still

Only noticed it while on the late afternoon session

Barry DeMerchant · Mar 17, 2013

Just wanted to say thanks to Reiza for the getting the game early, and that these trucks are monsters to drive, and having alot of fun driving them.

See if you can get 32 Bit Versions of Java 6 U43 and Java 7 U17 and see if you can handle the mapplugin then, I remember I couldn't run GSC 2012 because of Java 7 had Java 6 installed and anything was back to normal.
Right now I have J7 U13 (64-Bit), J7 U17 (32-Bit), J6 U43 (32-Bit) just to be sure.
