gunthar some noticed the rear brake lights where not working during the USA touring cars on friday?

Might not be related to this mod in particular. I'm pretty sure they weren't working when I played BTCC 09 yesterday either.

gunthar some noticed the rear brake lights where not working during the USA touring cars on friday?

can someone test this before I get home later and post. I'll check it as this is a new issue I was unaware of... so never check to lights...

 

[Paul Metcalfe]

I have this running in Race On w/STCC and I noticed the driver had no head, on further inspection I found the drivers head underneath the car half in/out of the track.

Anyone else have this problem?

 

[Matt Clark]

i have working brake lights but the drivers head is missing also

 

[True2Life Racing]

v1.2.1.2 patch 1 released

corrected shadows on brake and tail lights so should show better. re-exported the gmt's and hope this fixes the issue some have of missing head. I tested with Race07+RaceOn add-on only loaded and showed drivers/body/arms head correctly.

WTCC Vauxhall Vectra 2007 Custom Skin Enabled v1.2.1.2 patch 1

 

[Adam Vaughan]

Very nice Gunthar, also how matched is it to the current tourers? We ran cadwell with it and tbh all looked good. Some drivers tested it and know one was super quick or super slow but I just wondered from your side what are its advantages and disadvantages?

 

[Ross Balfour]

Vectra is slower down the straight (I think its max speed is 135ish) than most WTCC cars but good in the corners.

 

[Rhys Gardiner]

Gunthar updated the car to v1.2.1.2 just after our event, Adam. It should now be completely matched to the current physics of the WTCC cars.

 

[Günthar Rowe]

it should now be very similar to the Chev in most aspects with just slight differences. If you have some good Chev setups, load them and make some small tweaks to get that sweet spot...

 

[Warren Dawes]

Gunthar, I still have the issue of the headless driver in the cockpit, but showing his head / helmet dragging under the car (most disconcerting :eek: ).
I also have no driver arms in cockpit view.

I seem to recall this being a problem with the original Crowne Plaza mod, but can't remember if it was ever fixed.

 

[Günthar Rowe]

@ Warren, what race versions do you have? as in... I have Race 07 and then added GTR Evo addon then STCC addon then RaceOn addon... I can't seem to see how I see the driver correctly and I have everything avail installed. But I tried with just R07 and fine... We did have an issue way back, and it was sorted back in like the middle of 2008... The game must be picking up another set of 3D models. Do you want to try a little test?

Open the .cas file in the Vectra folder in notepad and edit the following lines:

This will possible stop the wipers working, but will tell me if this is the source of the issue

 

[Warren Dawes]

Gunthar, I was running Race On but I have all versions, same as you. I'll try the test and let you know.

EDIT: I tried the modded .cas file, no luck, still the same.
Also tried launching from Race 07 (instead of Race On), but still the same.

Very strange.

 

[Günthar Rowe]

Well, I installed Race 07 on my 5th very very old laptop and had the missing bits and head under the car issue, yes!!!! Now I can fix it when I have in front of me a working "broken" install

Vauxhall Vectra 2007 v1.2.1.2 patch 2 released

 

[Paul Metcalfe]

Funny, I came to the thread to say I still had headless jeff driving the car. But today out of curiosity I re-installed the Crowne Plaza add on and it worked. Head where it should be.

It matters nought now you've released the patch though.

 

[Warren Dawes]

Confirming that the latest patch ver. is working fine on my system, Gunthar. Thanks. :thumb:

 

[Günthar Rowe]

all good Warren, sorry for so many patches...
