Hot Lapper's Lounge: General Discussion

[The_Tigg]

I told ya it was harder then Daytona, no curb hopping this place. Mid-Ohio is next, I'm skipping Long Beach street course since they didn't do mixed class racing there. The 2016 version by Neel Janl is the one I'm using.

So, anyone know what needs to be done to the .rFm (or anything else) to allow the use of custom \Talent\VECH_EU (.rcd) files? Is there anything more than just adding the line: DriversDir=GAMEDATA\TALENT\VECH_EU\ under the "Configoverrides" section?
Just need the basics on getting the mod to recognize the .rcd files.. I'll figure out the rest!
Note: google is little help as all it wants to point to is rFactor 2 stuff..

The Talent files need to be in the folder named "VECH_EU" so that line points to that line...

 

[M_Nesevitch]

But that's it? Just the .rcd files in the right (talent) folder and the 1 line added to the TUSCC.rfm ??

 

[Highbank]

as far as I recall...

Any of these sims keep an average lap time? Like if you run 10 laps, it'll tell you your "average" time or speed? I know we could do it long hand and enter 10 laps into a calculator, but that's a PIA and easy to make mistakes.. But a 10 lap "hot laps" session at place like Darlington (or most anywhere) would be cool..

 

[Highbank]

That DashPanel thing that Tigg downloaded shows that you can add an "average lap time" thing to your displays

 

[M_Nesevitch]

Cool! I think he said it works for everything BUT nr2003 though? IIRC.. Still be neat to check out! Hey Tigg, little help brotha!!

Just follow the instructions, for full details it cost $3.99 for each engine, ie, RF1 & 2 and Automoblista are one engine, all the SimBin sims are another(not sure about Race Room, there there is a display for it), AS is a single sine engine and so on.

I have it working in RF1 & 2, GTR 2 and Race, but not in GTL and AS.

Eek.. Lots of downloads to run that bugger! I'll prolly wait till I do my card and hdd upgrade in a couple months..

 

[Highbank]

I'm like those NASCAR driver's that say they don't look at the dash, just the track, when it blows up...it was me

It's two programs that are around 10 megs, I think. Yup, that's a lot of downloading

I'm thinking about doing some sort of Hot Racing NR2003 Play Thru....thing...
Running the Championship schedule....as a Challenge...
Thoughts?

I plan on doing something similar once the new mod comes out.

 

[The_Tigg]

I think he means with the current cup car.

Honestly, I have no desire to run ovals at the moment.

 

[Highbank]

No I mean original cup, but now I'm thinking of using the CTS mod and running the 2003 Truck schedule

 

[The_Tigg]

I think a car should be driven by the person posting the hot lap challenge BEFORE they post it!

 

[Highbank]

What sim racing is all about...

 

[The_Tigg]

That's exactly how I feel when I put a good race together! Love his enthusiasm!

Been there, done that. Ton of fun.
