rF2: Enduracers Endurance Series Updated - New Cars, Plenty of Improvements

[Paul Jeffrey]

The excellent Endurance Series mod by EnduRacers and the Gentlemen Modding team has been updated - with new content added!

The mod of choice in our recent RDLMS by Vesaro series, rFactor 2 content is in a better place these past few days thanks to a substantial new build release of the EnduRacers Endurance Series mod.

As well as adding an impressive list of fixes and improvements, not least of which is the implementation of the new rFactor 2 tyre model, the mod also benefits from quite a bit of new content in the form of the beautiful Ligier JSP3 LMP3 car (nice playmate for the recently announced Norma LMP3..?) and some great looking GTE specification machines alongside the classic Oreca 05 LMP2 open cockpit prototype.

It is worth noting that the Corvette C7R replaces the original C6R, the Ferrari F458 replaces the F430 and the Flat6 RSR Evo replaces the Flat6 RSR. The Oreca 05 LMP2 comes in place of the Lola Coupe and the Ligier LMP3 is a totally new class of car.

Available at no cost to the user, the version 2 build release of the Endurance Series modification can be found at the EnduRacers website HERE.

I understand this mod is not perfect but for me it is great and I feel lucky as a Rf2 user to have such a great mod to play with.
So thanks to Enduracers for the great work.

this is the S397 Corvette from the Endurance pack, not Enduracers stuff

I would imagine that if they are going to do an update it'll be after the UI and more importantly the shaders update. Which may possibly mess with some cars, maybe not, depends on how they work.

I have a very strange problem with this mod. It is undrivable for me. It runs fine in DX11, but is undrivable in DX9. In DX9 mode, when I click drive and go to track the, sitting in the pit stall, the car has a small up and down motion. When I try to drive the FFB is reversed and the brakes are on(heavily). If I push the I key and switch to AI mode the car runs fine - no brake issue. Switch back to Human mode and the car reverts to undrivable. I had the same issue with the Radical mod from Studio 397. Out of the multitude of mods I have installed, these two are the only ones I have had problems with.

Any help/insight would be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance,


FraPP!!!

as others stated, all the new DLC content, which includes 2 GT3 paks and the GTE pak, will not work properly with older versions of the sim. They contain features that are not compatible with previous versions of rF2.

 

[Frapp Lee]

Yeah... that was made clear to me almost 9 months ago on the same day I made the post and, that was that. But Thanks.

 

[davehenrie]

1st I saw it. Consider it merely a general broadcast to others who may have the same problems. (and if you think that was berating.....) Certainly isn't the first time I've stepped in it...and....unfortunately for me, probably won't be the last either.
Have a good one

 

[Frapp Lee]

No it wasn't berating by any means and that is why I edited it. I have enjoyed your presence in the sim community, across many patforms for years and years. Always good stuff! That is why I was "surprised" and misinterpreted your comment. Apologies on my end.

Be Well Sir

Endurance series does not show up in game, in the cars catagory. It is in my vehicles folder as ER_ESrf2 but does not show up when i load the game.

 

[Ace King]

Located in your rFactor2/ Installed/ Vehicles/ ER_Endurance_Series_rF2

In your Ingame cars menu it's located under "Endurance Series"

Note: The newest version should be "3.00"
It appears you have a older version that wasn't properly updated.

 

[Pawgy]

My car listing goes right from "C" to "F" There is no "E's listed. I have the latest from Steam and re downloaded to be sure. It shows in the folder but not in the game.

 

[Ace King]

Pawgy.....i don't believe it's correctly updating so i suggest to "unsubscribe" the car mod and completely shut down Steam then go back to the Steam Workshop and once again "Subscribe" to the car mod. Now, start up rF2 and it will correctly install it.

Note: If this still doesn't correct your issue then try a rF2 Integrity check.

 

[Pawgy]

Thank you. I now have it working thanks to your instructions. Had to unsubscribe and got to mod manager and unninstall .re install, and I think i am ok now. evidently it was not insatallling completely .

 

[avenger82]

Anyone else gets this weird visual artifact in C7's cockpit? Roll cage pipes have weird textures and are also shimmering which is annoying. I believe when I tried C7 v. 3.0 after release I didn't had this issue.
