What GFX card are you currently running?? There might be some settings you could change to get some better performance out of it. |

Radeon 6950 overclocked to 840Mhz core and 1325Mhz (5.3Ghz) RAM.
My card itself is performing oddly and not due to the overclock either. It's been a question mark since I got it and currently it's just got to be a bigger question mark. I haven't had a lot of luck with gfx cards over the last few years. Last card was a 4890 and it became unstable, now my 6950 is repeating that in less than 9 months. Gonna RA it and get a 7970 to replace it, this time not an HIS XD |

All good, I'd not get MSI either at the moment. They keep popping caps on their flaship 7970 with supposedly military components! Asus are overpriced for badge buyers. So that leaves me with Gigabyte pretty much. However where I am nvidia are even more overpriced than Asus so I'm sticking with AMD as I can't get $100 more performance from a GTX680 than a 7970.
Back to career mod though, still finding issues with lack of turning lock/understeer. Getting more consistent times after a few long runs on Donnington, but the chuckability of cars is very reduced from UCP 1.099e. Finding the same issue I had with the GTR with the 499 FC and stock S2000. It's a bit too close to the other sims who have too little grip/lock and feel like you are on ice/marbles all the time. So far the best compromise that I've enjoyed racing has been UCP as far as handling goes. I wonder if it's due to real world values vs virtual world that is just missing something in it's use of those values? |

I Believe you have me confused with somebodyelse. I have some friends that have used ATI products before and in each case the GFX card didn't even last a year. Personally I have never had an Nvidia GFX product fail on me. Been using Nvidia products since my first Riva TNT2 Ultra. Good god I just gave away my age group ![]() Ok I am finished going off topic. |

Ok, I've tried the career mod (finally its working), I have some suggestion:
Since you started to separate car and its works converted, I think this will be better if the car only have stock color (or custom color), while the works converted only liveries. And i want to know how you separate the car and its works converted? I want to try it myself. on the side note: i found standard sample music of windows 7 in s2000 folder, accidental copying?

Well about works cars. I'm almost done with those, so saying that i've started it wouldn't be quite accurate
I think I'll stick to the way it is now. Production cars can have both normal car colors and liveries while race cars have liveries only. Describing how to add works cars as standalone cars would be complicated and i just don't know if you have the skills to do it. The sample music is just my error clicked the wrong place once and that's what turned up |

Hey tulib, some questions here:
1- Right now you are only working in the cars and how the behave, etc? 2- How much time do you estimate is left so you can move on to the events. Sorry about my rush, is that I have some ideas for events and races and I want to wait to the right moment you start to work on this area so I can show you my ideas. |

Well yes i'm working on car physics right now. I don't blame you if you want to see some event progress, this is after all a career mod.
It's going to take a good moth before i'm done with the cars (about 30 left). Hope people wont lose interested in this game and this mod till i'm done |

Now that we have a rough estimate of the time left, we can get the impatience under control. I doesn't matter how much we have to wait if what you are trying to achieve is pure quality. Keep it up! EDIT: Maybe you could give us more frequent updates about the mod (And some screens) to keep the thread more alive.

BTW how do you set which HUD go to which car? I'm asking this because editing hud_vehicles.xml gives no effect at all, and it makes all my ferrari cars have standard HUD (which is ugly and annoying). |

By saying HUD do you mean the cars digital display that you can see in the cockpit or the floating hud that you can toggle on/off??

Well there's no secret behind this. It's just the hud_vehicles.xml.
You need to add an entry correctly there to make it work. If it doesn't double and triple check, you might have done something wrong, also make sure that the path to the hud textures is correct, and that the textures themself exist in that folder |

I've double checked this, still doesn't work.
Then i try some small experiment. I change Acura NSX's HUD refer to Bugatti Veyron folder, and the result is: It doesn't change anything. Before i activate career mod, all HUD is okay though. |

Seems your game reads the hud_vehicles.xml from a bff not the unpacked file.
You must have something messed up there's no reason why this shouldn't work. It works in my game so i guess you'll have to figure it out alone |

You're right about the bff file. I found the culprit, it is the floating semaphore disable mod. I remove that and it works like normal again. Thanks for pointing out the problem
EDIT: oh BTW I tried the Nissan Silvia, would you like to take a look to the performance index of that car? I think Nissan Silvia is too slow at stock for C class car. Last edited by pentaura; 12 July 12 at 18:52. |

There's no mistake, the car is tested on track for it's PI
Anyway what's the PI for the car in your game, it might not be the same as the latest version on my pc, oh and why do you think it's too much Last edited by tulib202; 12 July 12 at 20:07. |

Id have to agree with pentaura there. The S15's Factory Performance is not on par with a class c rating. of course I am going with an unmodified game too. But seriously???? A Factory S15 in class C??? I guess the car will be seeing nothing but tail lights in it's factory class then.

Okay, I've tried again, sorry for not replying for long.
I tested 1-on-1 race on riviera on stock, totally owned by BMW M3 E36 (modified i guess, i often meet that car in medium difficulty). At least I need to do weight reduction level 3 to race on par with it. |

@tulib202
I am curious as to which track you used in order to determine that the factory stock S15 belonged in class C. Do you have some sort of performance algorithim to help you make this deyermination??? or is it based solely on track times???? I think we all know that different cars handle different tracks differently. For example. I wouldn't expect a sar setup for the 1/4mile to be able to successfully compete on the nordschief taking any of the podium spots. Just like I wouldn't expect a car set up for the nord to be able to tahe the checkered on the 1/4 mile. Very crude I know. IIRC you really cannot do much to the S15 power(Go Faster)wise without bumping it up into the class c anyway. I will have to look at my S15 build(Still in class D at the upper limit) again to see what I have on mine. I still think that bumping the factory Stock S15 up into class c is a mistake. Espically when there are other cars more deserving(worthy) of the auto-reclass bump. Espically when the base car does not cost the player anything at the begining of the career allowing the player to be able to save up some more money before havng to upgrade just to keep up. |

Hi Tulib!
Could you give us any detail about what are you exactly modifying to each car. For example: Tires, suspension, transmission, engine, or some glitches with the cars??? Thanks in advance!!

Hey !
I've updated the mod description in the first post, check it out and you'll be able to figure out what physics files am i modding ![]() Basically it's: -tires -engines -chassis -upgrades -statistics mrdfs -gearboxes -turbos -vehicle vdfms Pretty much everything except suspension files as i have no knowledge about those Last edited by tulib202; 10 August 12 at 19:38. |

Awesome!
BTW. I think you did a camera tweak which broke compatibility with another camera mod which I was using: "Virtual mirror - larger & added to cockpit" by matt2380 (http://www.nogripracing.com/details.php?filenr=33120) I enjoyed using the 0.5 fov cockpit view in the mod. I've tried to overwrite just your camera tweak with matt's mod, but it didn't work. |

Take notice that the mod you are refering to was meant to be used with a packed game, you need an unpacked game with ucp to use career mod, so dont tell me that my mod broke something, in fact you broke your game by using those bffs. Send a pm to matt and ask which files do you need to unpack from those bff's to use his mod with the ucp.

Well the mod you posted a link to was for the packed version so don't be surprised that i wrote that, to make things work i'd suggest to copy those camera files after you install my mod

Would be really awesome if the game could track multiple class races during the same race, but that's way beyond Shift 2's capabilities...

Have just got Shift 2, and already enjoying it immensely thanks to the UCP and NTM. A friend on another forum pointed me this way for your career mod Tulib, and I have to say the anticipation is killing me! Very much looking forward to installing it when you post up the next version - looks like it will create exactly the racing game I've been looking for for many years.
I am in constant awe of the many PC gaming enthusiasts who dedicate their time and skill to adding so much value to exisiting titles. I've only recently become a convert to PC gaming, but there is now no turning back! |

Hey, glad to hear that! Hope you'll find what you'll looking for in this game with my mod.
The next beta features an update on all the game cars, following it will be a new version release that will update my class c events towards the new AI and adjusted cars, some of the events were already updated in the previous beta (retro c single exhibitions and the japanese league) |

I'm exceedingly interested in the 3rd and 4th part of your mod. Just wondering though:
1) Are tyre sizes and hence diameters corrected? I messed around with some gear ratio changes and still could not get the right rpm to vehicle speed for some cars here and there even with the exact gear and final drive ratios. Can't remember which cars had the problem though. 2) How did you manage to fix the VAG speedometers? I was thinking of trying to add another 'speed to needle degrees' line to the cockpit definition file to see if it's possible since higher speeds use another speedo scaling. (Some cars even had 3(!) different speedo scales.) I believe the Mitsu Evo X, Corvette Z06, Seat Leon Cupra, Gallardo LP560-4 and Bentley Conti SS also suffer from some speedo inaccuracy. Hope to try out your beta soon.

1) I didn't correct the tyre sizes i believe that you can control them with editing vdfm files but i remember that JDougNY said that changing those values don't really have a noticable effect on the speed per rpm.
2) Well i fixed it with the most simple method i could think of, by remaking the speedometers themself Now you are able to set the exact angle of the needle at each speed for the 3rd person view floating hud but you can't do that for the cockpit speedo so i guessed the only way to fix this would be to adjust the scale on the speedos to even values. It's not real world acurate but at least it shows the correct speed. It's just impossible to fix it in any other way. Tried adding another line with speed and angle values but the game doesnt read it + it stops reading anything after the added line A big |

The annoying part was that many of these car specific bugs and niggles were carry overs from Shift 1 and ProjCARS does show that SMS can do something decent without EA rushing them.
If I'm reading it right, you managed to edit the cockpit speedo texture or something along those lines. That is brilliant, nuf said. Shift could've really been the 'Forza Turismo' of PC land... (lots of licensed road cars, solid base physics engine, etc) Ah well, good luck on the release. The revised drivetrain specs and career/menu bits look great. |
