Stock Car Extreme Mods (merged)

ML2166 · Feb 14, 2012

Hey guys

Okay here are the skins created by me over the last few weeks.

38 in total, 19 Chevrolet and 19 Peugeot.

All completely fictional of course, but I hope you enjoy them.

I have given all the cars different numbers and names from the originals in game, so you should be able to run them alongside the original skins.

Pretty new to the modding aspect on the rfactor platform, and this is my first attempt.

Haven't found a way to have the game read a new RFM file hence the reason for the new numbers and names.

Hope you enjoy them........happy racing fellas!

Chevrolet Part 1

Chevrolet Part 2

Peugeot's

So if I'm understanding this correctly , there will be two full blown Mods to install? One from Reiza , and one from the Ozzie group? Not complaining at all and think it's great. Just hope there doesn't become a war between the two groups on who thinks the other one is better , or something like that. For me , I'll play both!

OK..

REIZA are making a 1 CAR Series called SuperV8, based on the Holden Commadore.

SimRacingOz are doing the OZV8 which will have all 5 cars currently in the V8Supercars Championship.

Reiza is making Physics and Sounds for the SuperV8 as well as the OZV8 but with the 5 brands (Holden, Ford, Volvo, Nissan & Mercedes).

The Physics and Sounds will be the same for both Mods.

Patrick Giranthon submitted a new resource:

Silverstone Historic (1987-1990) - Silverstone Historic for GSCEx

Hi everyone.

Thanks to Uwe and Carrera.4 for original track and permissions.

Here is another historic track for... historic cars?

Well, guys, this time it will be a bit special.
Let me explain : I have never asked any money for my work on tracks and mods. First because original creators would deserve it too, and second because I never did simracing to become rich (other ways would be better for that )....

Thank you so much, Patrick

I find current Silverstone kinda boring, so racing a really fast version like that is a breath of fresh air! Great stuff, as usual.

Jan Mikuž · Jul 9, 2015

Hm, they actually raced F1 at a track like this ?

It's very simple. There's practically no challenge here. But it's got a nice flow and it's fine for some high speed fun.

Jan, that's sooooo ignorant

Thank you, Patrick. Love this track!

Jan Mikuž · Jul 9, 2015

Maybe it is...

I just find it hard to believe they'd race F1 on an easy layout like this.. It's a great high speed track, though, i agree.

Msportdan · Jul 9, 2015

yep what a circuit.. always preferred racing it on a game then watching it on TV, still do lol

Fabio Rodrigues · Jul 9, 2015

This article about Silverstone's changes through the years is worth checking out. I prefer this layout that Patrick uses - it's not as annoying as the current one, but it's not as simple as the initial ones.

If you'd like to try the first versions of Silverstone, Test Drive Ferrari has a pretty good one, actually.

Patrick Giranthon · Jul 9, 2015

I got permissions from ISI to do Silverstone 1995

Jan Mikuž · Jul 9, 2015

Great. Moving up the ranks, I see.

The best way to see old layouts of tracks is racingcircuits.info. Here's Silverstone:
http://racingcircuits.info/europe/united-kingdom/silverstone/

My favorite Silverstone layout is 1991-1993 because that's when I started watching F1 and playing Crammond's F1GP. It has the modern Maggots-Becketts complex and fast Abbey, not the chicane.

Jeff Huber · Jul 10, 2015

Ahhh , I see! Thanks man! Sorry I'm a little slow on understanding some of this stuff.

Patrick Giranthon · Jul 10, 2015

The only track without the good racegroove is ipswich. Others should be ok.

Patrick Giranthon · Jul 10, 2015

Another update for the superV8

Msportdan · Jul 10, 2015

pat have you done a conversion of road america?

SORRY FOUND IT! WHAT ONES BETTER?

PATRICK JUST TO HELP MY OCD.

WHAT WOULD BE THE MAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN REIZA TRACKS AND THESE TRACKS OF YOURS> I MEAN ARE THEY AS GOOD? IS THERE ANYTHING MISSING COMAPRED TO REIZA TRACKS>

SORRY CAPS was on

Patrick Giranthon · Jul 10, 2015

What will be different is :
- 3D objects quality and/or texturing
- rotating trees

What I try to do as reiza tracks :
- road shaders and textures
- real road bumps
- grass shaders and textures
- 3D grass (last productions of reiza use a new process I cant reproduce)
- sky
And some other minor things.
You can simply try road america and do your own opinion. From what I see, we have conversions not bad at all, sometimes even better than straight conversions you have in other recent games like AC ou rf2.

Msportdan · Jul 10, 2015

thanks pat, your work is appreciated by me definitly. Just wanted to to know if there was anything in your tracks that could affect physics or anything, seems like theres not?

Historic silverstone was a blast to drive withe the v12s.

Patrick Giranthon · Jul 10, 2015

On some rare tracks, you can have less grip.
I would like to have tracks like Reiza does, but it would take me 4 months to do one track + 8 to understand 3ds deeply

Russ Craven · Jul 10, 2015

Every track I've tried has been very close to those produced by Reiza. As far as grip level goes, my skill level isn't high enough to appreciate the difference.I am just pleased to have so many great tracks available, thanks to Patrick.
