Need For Speed Shift Simulation SK MOD V2.7

*Realistic Grip and physics !
*Improved physics tick rate !
*Correct center of gravity !
*Fixed Stupid AI !
*Removed all blur !
*Removed Bloom ! (thnx to yodastar which released the file for each track)
*Fixed G25 Controller ! (no more steer LAG !!!) and good direct ffb feeling
*Correct kerbstone feeling now ! (not just rumble)
*Correct Forcefeedback from Front Wheels
*Better Feeling of the car
*Correct steering ! although ingame graphics wont show enaf turn
*No Repacking

The game is like rfactor now but with better graphic's

How To install the mod

First unpack your need for speed.
put the 4 files from the NFS Unpacker Folder in your need for speed shift game root (the folder where the game is installed)
...\Need for Speed SHIFT\
CLick on game_unpack.bat To unpack the game !!!
Extracting all files will take some time 20-30 mins.

After unpacking, right-click on the NFS:Shift shortcut on your desktop, select Properties and add the option '-loose'
to the Target path. The option makes the game accept unpacked files.
( example, Target: "...\Need for Speed SHIFT\shift.exe" -loose )
(more detailed and make the game run it unpacking http://www.nogripracing.com/forum/sh...d.php?t=166542)

Copy The Files from my mod to your NFS:SHIFT installation directory and click replace all.

This controller mod is specialy made for the g25. the mod replaced the Logitech g25 separate pedals preset.
you can also use this with all other gaming wheels.

You can start the game now ! but first load the g25 separate pedals preset Options->Gameplay->Controls
and load the Logitech g25 separate pedals (preset 6) you can edit the controls as you like,
The mappings of what buttons or pedal does what but don't edit the settings from adjust control.
They are loaded out of my config and contain changes not shown in the game !

Always change your controller even if its already on this profile ( just load a preset and then go back to preset 6 )
Otherwise it won't use the new settings! and remeber the old default crap...

Try the game i guess u will be amazed how much better it is then the default game.


Of course play in pro mode with all aids off !!!!!!

No problem! (Bloom mod)

[migf1]

Did the FFB settings help you skneo?

[skneo]

yes they improve the game 100%

[migf1]

Nice! You used the changes I suggested you in the other topic?

[stewart read]

Do you know how to stop the wheel from going left to right if you let go of it? I mean in a real car it would pull straight not go madly from left to right.

Thanks

Yes i removed the rumble! You feel the Real Kerbs now ! i totaly editted the kerb feeling now you feel them the proper way!

and the gripfactor (and gripweight), Gripfactor is on 1.0 now rfactor uses 0.8 shift 0.6 by default. 0.8 also felt great. but its on 1.0 now feel great too!

[mclarenf1]

How is this different compared to the Realmod 2.0b @ RaceDepartment forums? Thanks

[juls]

This mod is a better start. The real mod 2.0b copy/pasted GTR2 tyre slip curves. But both games use different tyre models, and after several experiments in both ways the conclusion is obvious: these tyre slip curves are not equivalent and can not be transfered from one game to another.


@skneo there is still this property you left unchanged in physicstweaking. It seems Center of gravity in shift is lowered with this parameter:
<prop name="CGHeight Scale" data="0.6;0.6;0.75;0.825" />

[skneo]

ill look into it and see how it feels

update v2.6

*Improved physics tick rate !
*Correct center of gravity !
http://www.people.zeelandnet.nl/seba...FSSIMSKV26.rar

Need For Speed Shift Simulation SK MOD V2.6 has been updated!



*little FFB controller tweak didn't change the download version redownload if u want the new version, a little more feel ! (just redownload files are updated also be sure to reset your controller)

[macmac]

Hi guys,

I'm using a Microsoft FFB wheel & pedals and I know the G25 has its steering settings inverted in all games. The Microsoft doesnt. What do I need to change in your G25 wheel file to turn this effect off? Also, My wheel has about 120 degrees of lock, what should I change to reflect that.

Many thanks for the mod

Kind regards

Mac

[redi]

Not sure if the G25 has the inverted setting, it seems that it is not needed anymore (at least I don't need it anymore for my Fanatec wheel while for GTL/GTR2 I do need the inversed effects).

[skneo]

Indeed things don't need to be inverted anymore in nfss! so why not try it first and see how it feels. yes you can load my controller preset 6 g25 seperated pedals its just a name of the preset its all custom anyway

For this you can use preset n 27 - i think it's better. (vehicleset_pc_custom_wheel.xml)

I unpacked my game files and installed this mod. Its really great but I have a small problem. My favorite car a works tuned Corvette cant drive any more, the gearbox seem broken.
Before installing this mod I only experienced this problem one time in the Viper Vs ford match.
I have tried the simple tuning mode, loaded default restarted Shift, but the problem wont go away.
Please help.

[skneo]

Hmm no clue what that could be sell the whole car and redo it ? maybey that will help !?

But i don't think its a problem due to my mod i not changed anything on those area's.

So, which file should i leave unchanged if i want to use original tyre physics? And if i leave this file (or files) out, am i also missing other changes on physics as well?

[winwiz]

I managed to get the gearbox working again in my works tuned Covette, seems i just had to save the game!
I really must say this mod takes the driving experience to a new level, forcefeedback is perfect with my G25 now, THANKS!

Your mod has been compiled, the installer is attached.

Just the controller .xml isn't in package because it's not contained in any BFF archive.

To install, unzip the file and execute Injector.exe

Thanks a lot for doing this.
has this injector installer version been tested yet ?
so if it works correct i can add it too my release!

[matt2380]

@japamd - what about uninstalling?

Is it just a case of restoring the following originals?

PakFiles\PHYSICSBOOTFLOW.bff
PakFiles\IGPHASEACTIVATE.bff
PakFiles\BOOTPERSISTENT.bff
PakFiles\Vehicles\VehiclesGlobal.bff

You can restore the files with *.bkp extension created by the installer (e.g. PHYSICSBOOTFLOW.bff.bkp, it's the file prior to mod installation).

I'm planning to save modified files in another container, when the installer is executed again and the mod is already installed, it will give the option to undo the mod changes.

[matt2380]

@japamd - thanks for your reply.

Just to clarify, are there any other files that get modded? Or just the four I mentioned in my earlier post? I did not understand when you said, "it's the file prior to mod installation".

Thanks for providing the injector

[RubyEagle]

Injector crashes as soon as I start it. Vista X64.

Does this mean the game can be modded pack versions.

If I install this, I get skeno's 2.6 mod for my PACKED GAME?

Yes, just the 4 files you mentioned are changed. You can use the backup files created by the injector (*.bkp) to undo changes or use a backup you made yourself.

I mean the .bkp file is the file before you install the mod.

Sorry for my bad english

Please download it again.

It's working here, Windows 7 x64 RTM

Yes, by using the mod installer package you can mod the packed/original form game.

[AMAjr455]

Awesome, THANKS.

CRASHED... Injector crashes instantly... Win XP 32

I put the files in the root SHIFT directory.

-------------------------------------------------

retried... no go! Hope you get it sorted out.

[cspectuning]

[kolobog007]

[skneo]

You also need the NFSShift script for QuickBMS.

[skneo]

its all in there now

[cspectuning]

game crash during track loading.

[Valar]

This mod didn't install correctly. Blur is still there and loading times have quadrupled.

[skneo]

then ur doing something wrong. i geuss you didnt put the things in the right folder then

[matt2380]

The injector version worked perfectly for me. Thanks!

[carsonpoland]

new onboard cam in nissan r34 is messed up it seems to be sticked to right windshield

[Sincx]

Tried your mod and all is well accept I dont get ANY FFB at all now and there is no steering force. Also framrate gone down somewhat shamefully.

Any hints ?

[Valar]

Hi skneo

Yes I guess so, sorry I sounded so annoyed (I was ). Where are the things supposed to go exactly? you don't seem to tell in your post.

[skneo]

hehe maybey it isnt too clear in the readme too but its real simple just copy all the folders from Need for Speed SHIFT to the directory where you installed need for speed schift

[winwiz]

I have version 2.6 installed, should I upgrade to version 2.7 ??
Vers. 2.6 is very nice but I still get the black and white when crashing into a wall..?
Im using windows7 x64

[Cowley]

skneo...what should the settings be in Logitech profiler? I installed your mod last night...I really like the feel of the wheel. Should I set it to 900degrees and forcefeedback strength to 100%? I would really like to use this mod the way it was intended to be used.

Looking forward to your reply.

What are the rest of your setting in control panel?

[Anth0789]

Game crashes on loading here...

[czekboy]

great mod, thx for it, cars fealing is real, nfs shift is now my favourite game, i love to trash stock cars round nordschleife, only the AI cars are now slow but I try to change them as you say in your first post.
edit: about these crashes i'm using injector version 2,6 and it works fine

[Quiksilver]

The game crashes on loading track for me also!
What could be causing this?

[kolobog007]

more details about crashes pls. if black screen - add "-loose" in shortcut. If windows error message - try to Repair game through Control Panel - Programs and Features and unpack game again.

[-=Prodrive=-]

Hmm, I like the sound of the mod, but dont want to lose the bloom effect.

Anyway to do this?

[Quiksilver]
