OMG! Thats the mod that I've been waiting for (and lots of other people too, no doubt!).

Fantastic work, D/L'ing now.

I love it, no other words for it ollie its bloody fantastic, Bathurst, Adelaide and the Nordschleiffe are fantastic fun in the BMW M3, the 470bhp Sierra Cosworth is a bit hairy though to say the least, quite a pig to control at the tighter circuits.

chunder · 26 Mar 2009, 17:11 (Ref:2425392)

Mod is great

AM hoving horrendous trouble online with it though

Keep getting crash to desktop, have had one good race so must be something to do with servers?

I have all skins, sounds and pace car fix installed so I know some servers are only running base pack!

Ollie_C · 26 Mar 2009, 18:08 (Ref:2425434)

We know theres some kind of problem with the online racing, and people having a crash to desktop

sadly none of the team members have a clue as to why

real shame because we think without blowing our own trumpet that they make great online racers

ah well i'm sure we will discover the reason for the ctd's soon enough and make a patch

chunder · 26 Mar 2009, 18:33 (Ref:2425449)

Ollie didnt realise you were on the team and congrats for a simply superb mod. You have all the issues covered with cars, physics are great you have the slides spot on as much as you can online!

And the cars are fairly equal which must have taken some time!!

Heads up regarding crashes:

Was in a server today at Mid Ohio, sat in pits for 10 minutes without getting in car.

Lots of drivers in and out of game all saying crash to desktop.

Seems to be on track rather than in the server? I got to about turn 6 and then boom.

Yet, have had one whole session and race at Essington with no problems?

Hepatic · 26 Mar 2009, 18:55 (Ref:2425459)

taken me ages to get the skins (trying to avoid peak times so it dont come off my 15gb p/m peaktime cap) and am installing them tonight. been looking forward to these for ages, will do my best to trace any crashes should i have them

I hope the cars AREN'T Equal! They weren't equal in the day, why shoudl they be now!

Surely, with a mod containing real cars, we want realistic lap times and performance?

chunder · 27 Mar 2009, 09:15 (Ref:2425961)

Well what I meant was that yes there is a difference between the cars but in something like an E30 M3 or a 190E you may lose a bit of straight line speed but you are more manageable in the corners which means in lap time you can make up time instead of just losing time everywhere as in some mods like this.

It would be pointless everyone only being able to use the Sierra or Commmodore, I think they have done the right job.

marcus · 30 Mar 2009, 03:03 (Ref:2428626)

very nice mod , enjoying it alot..

had a few crashes to desktop , but not sure why , I dont have the pace car fix installed maybe that is it ?

Just wish more people would race on line.

getting sick of everyone simply racing meganes and nothing else

(and No I dont want to join a league , no time to do so at all)

chunder · 30 Mar 2009, 09:56 (Ref:2428830)

Well in defence of Meganes, at least their mod never crashes, always works and is easy to pick up

This mod has to be the most unstable I have ever seen and after the euphoria of seeing it, downloading and playing it, the utter dejection of never baing able to play it online has affected me and many otehrs like me.

I know it's hard to be overly critical of these amazing people, but put simply, this mod is a huge letdown.

Not for any otehr reason than it simply appears to not work online?

I dont race offline much and not being able to enjoy this mod is an immense disappointment.

I do hope issues are resolved, but for now it's simply too frustrating to attempt to play it.

Hepatic · 31 Mar 2009, 21:45 (Ref:2430103)

i think somehow they screwed up the packaging of it. Since installing the version at the link below i've not had a single CTD whilst in my own server, although it still does in other peoples if they are not using this version

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CS4IQG2O

have to agree its been a real let down due to this, when its running you can get some fantastic racing in different cars.

chunder · 1 Apr 2009, 10:03 (Ref:2430433)

Hep

Is that a whole install? Or parts 1 t 6 as the original was because my original download was in parts from MegaUpload on release day.

Ollie_C · 2 Apr 2009, 10:08 (Ref:2431197)

its nothing to do with how the mod is packaged, we believe it is a material naming conflict, and we have had to edit the car models to change this

we are still testing but it should fix the problem of online / offline CTD

we hope !

Hepatic · 2 Apr 2009, 18:04 (Ref:2431663)

chunder, its the full install in one go inc the pace car fix. i also got it via multi part 1st time, whatever is going on its definitely more stable with this one...

ain't pooters great?!

marcus · 2 Apr 2009, 20:24 (Ref:2431791)

Ok I want to paint my own cars for offline use...where can I get some blank templates from guys ???

Hepatic · 4 Apr 2009, 09:50 (Ref:2433038)

they've not released any templates, so it'll be somewhat difficult tbh. You can use skins online without mismatches too, you just have to make them as a skin for an existing car rather than a whole new one.

DAVID PATERSON · 6 Apr 2009, 03:28 (Ref:2434773)

I installed TCL on Saturday night and didn't get to bed until 6am Sunday!

I don't know where to begin listing all the things I love about this mod!

racer69 · 7 Apr 2009, 06:28 (Ref:2435665)

I know what you mean David, got it going last night, spent many an hour bombing around the likes of Calder & Oran Park in John Donnelly's Rover

Hopefully people continue with this mod and there are on-going versions, there are plenty of cars which can be added over time

marcus · 8 Apr 2009, 07:02 (Ref:2436421)

agreed , I cant seem to stop playing it

Back during development of the mod they team indicated templates would be made available, you'd assume that is still on the cards.

I'd hope so, would be good to add some cars like the OXO Sierra's from the 1987 ATCC, Charlie O'Brien's BMW from 1986 ATCC etc etc...

chunder · 10 Apr 2009, 19:59 (Ref:2438283)

I think the mod has sort of been suspended until the 1.1 patch is out

Hardly anyone plays it coz of CTD issue

Annoyingly I was told that maybe uploadsing all the bits might be a cause, so deleted the whole thing and uploaded whole thing from Megaupload, was corrupt and wouldnt drag across!! Great waste of time guys!!

Am hoping the new patch helps these issues as I cant imagine how popular this would be without the incessant crashes

DAVID PATERSON · 15 Apr 2009, 02:19 (Ref:2440973)

Works great for me, no CTDs, but the 635, Supra and Escort have no engine noise. Suggestions anyone????

marcus · 15 Apr 2009, 05:43 (Ref:2441016)

There is a sound fix I think David , its on Rfactor central, not sure if that will fix your problem though.

Maybe try re-installing to see if that helps or you could just sit there and make the noises yourself....."Brrrrrr........Brrrrrr........BRRRRRRRR..(Missed gear).....Brrrrrrrrr"

DAVID PATERSON · 17 Apr 2009, 01:34 (Ref:2442675)

I can't get either of the Adelaide street circuits to load. Any suggestions?
