I am looking at those IMSA BMW CSLs now. There are few others in the queue to follow after that.

Sweet! I have converted all the physics from GTL for the Corvette GTX cars now! I have an exam tomorrow that I have to focus now on, but after that I'll make a guide on how to convert these cars to work with the GTPC mod.

That sounds good. I prefer the 'all cars' mode but it's always nice to have options. It's very easy to get the GTPC cars to work in 'all cars' mode since there is only one .gen file to deal with. I also optimized the GTPC .gen file for minimal memory usage but that's less of an issue for me now since I finally installed windows 7.

I decided it was time for a progress update. I am getting mixed results with the BMW CSL IMSA. When I race it with the Div. II cars I get CTDs when I leave the course. When I race with Div. I and DRM cars it works just fine. Unfortunately, I haven't figured out what the problem is but I'll keep trying. The good news is these cars are really fun to race with. I guess that isn't news. I ran a race with 60 cars at VLM's Sebring and got really good performance. No lagging at all - just smooth racing the entire time. I find that I enjoy watching the cars as much as I like driving them so I let the AI drive while I watched a few laps. The reason I find this amazing is that I have a rather old system. My video card isn't listed in benchmark tables any more and neither is my CPU. That's OK though. As long as the game looks good and the racing is smooth I'm OK with that. Sorry, I'm babbling. I will try to get the BMW CSL IMSA sorted out as soon as possible.

Indeed! Looking forward to the CSL's. Yesterday, I found myself doing two 10 lap race at Le Mans with these cars. Addictive! I also tried making the Kremer Porsche 917K that raced at Le Mans in 1981, with the CSGT mod. www.racingsportscars.com/photo/1981/Le_Mans-1981-06-14-010.jpgIt was a bitch getting in-game with the rest of the cars, and to skin it. Didn't understand what the hell was going on. Then I noticed an old thread on F1classic from 2010 that said the CSGT are encoded and are indeed a bitch to skin, so I had to give that up. Bummer.

Do you have the LM70 mod? I think it was an unauthorized conversion of CSGT's mod for F1 Challenge ages ago. That one was made more sensibly with dynamic textures so you can skin it much easier. It's actually a pretty good mod. It has the 917 K/71, Ferrari 512M, and Lola T70 in it. Plus there are a bunch of add-ons for the mod at F1C that smallblockhero made. When I am in the mood for old prototypes I combine the LM70 mod and WSC70 from CSGT together and race with a really big grid. It's pretty fun.

karoldan: I have made an exception for you. You have received the link by private message.
Normally, my attitude is if someone can't read the instructions and ask for the link by private message then they are unlikely to be able to install and race with the cars. I see that your English is not very good so I have made an exception.
Best of luck and happy racing.

I though I would give you an update on the BMW CSL IMSA cars. They are working well but there seems to be a conflict with the BMW CSL Turbo cars. I have raced them practically every other car on the list but as soon as I add in the Turbo cars there is a CTD. The cars load OK but when the throttle is applied the game crashes. I suspect one of the cockpit components is causing the problem like the tachometer. Hopefully I can get this fixed soon.

In case anyone is wondering, karoldan sent me a PM and apparently he has everything now.
I am in the middle of uploading updated versions of nearly every car. This will included the updates and patches that have been made since the initial release. I also split up the initial two packs of cars into individual archives and reorganized the sound packs. Current users of the mod will not need anything since there not much that is actually new. The Greewood Corvette and DeKon Monza also have additional skins and bodies but you probably have those already. The two exceptions to this is I added a few more skins for the Escort Mk1 and Opel Kadett C.

Sounds good! Anything new to the Camaro?

No, nothing new. Is there something you want for it? I have one skin that I didn't do the chassis for but I did all the other chassis types that have wings. I'll take another look and see if I overlooked anything.

Hmm, the 44US also? I don't recognize it from rFactor (looking at the GTL cars ATM). The "normal" GTO cars would be sweet too!
But don't haste anything I ask for. For tomorrow, I'm going to the US and the Indy 500! That means I won't be around here for a few weeks. But big thanks for all your work this far!

That's interesting. I noticed that the ESPN Classics channel is rerunning a whole bunch of old Indy races so I set my DVR to record all of the races between 1970 and 1989.
