I only just got GTR yesterday and for some reason I'm hooked on a Mosler?!?! It handles like a piece of shit but has the most awesome sound. I have downloaded lots of the add-on stuff available but the stock standard game will do me for a while. Man, this sim is just awesome!

Rots · Post by **Rots** » Fri May 20, 2005 10:50 am

Ditto, although I am hooked on the 911 Turbo... it makes some funky Rice noices with its BOV

Might have to try that beast, also, the Lambo is damn fine ride!!

Where do I get all the track addons for GTR from? I found this, but have no idea which pack to get.. Is 1/11, 11/11 etc mirrors??

Look at M4driving and Blackhole Motorsports, they seem to have alot tracks.

Rots · Post by **Rots** » Sat May 21, 2005 10:27 am

Oops, I forgot to post the link... LOL

I was at m4driving website - but there are 11 different track packs listed... not sure whats what

not 100% sure, but i think you have to dl them all.

but GTR Track Pack Update 2/11 i smissing

Jumi2 · Post by **Jumi2** » Sat May 21, 2005 9:51 pm

I just download the tracks i want, you dont need the track packs...

VIPEROSI · Post by **VIPEROSI** » Sun May 22, 2005 12:40 pm

Are the tracks any good? on dialup i have to be choosy want i want to add as it can take a fair while.

Rots · Post by **Rots** » Sun May 22, 2005 1:15 pm

Right now it feels like I am on dialip.. m4driving must be under a lot of load as I am downloading tracks at 4.1k.... painful!!

So far I have Laguna Seca and updated Bathurst. Laguna looks ok, but not impressed with Bathurst. All those trees give it reduced FPS in some sections when doing single player - haven't tried it with a full grid yet. All other tracks (orginals + Laguna) allow me to run GTR at it's highest GF setting, but not Bathurst.

I'm slowly downloading Mantorp Park now... I'm trying to get all the tracks that the ausorc guys run on their servers... but did I mention m4driving is slow??

Rots · Post by **Rots** » Sun May 22, 2005 9:36 pm

Bathurst feels great after tring Watkins - that has seriously bad FPS issues.

So far I've tried Bathurst, Laguna, Watkins & Imola... Imola is top notch, no fps issues... Imola looks good too whereas Watkins is ugly and jerky.

^^^
i hear ya....
currently getting 10k/sec dammit!

Im getting the track pack, it appears they are all the same? just d/l mirrors maybe?

Rots · Post by **Rots** » Sun May 22, 2005 9:40 pm

Well, I can't download anything from m4 now... I think m4 is a little popular at the moment

DexterPunk · Post by **DexterPunk** » Mon May 23, 2005 2:59 am

we will hopefully be releasing ORSMs tracks converted to GTR.. Pukekhoe, Wanaroo, Hidden Valley and others. But we have to confirm the proper permission to do so.. so dont get ya hopes up too much... although we are confident it will be all good, you have to make sure you do the right thing.

also, a release candidate for the final version of the V8 conversion (that rymes) is currently being tested.. so may not be too far away.

Great news Dexter!
thanks for keeping us up to date

Spent about 1 hour on Phillip Island with a few different cars last night.
Scenery was a bit sparse but the the actual track I thought was spot on. The AI also seems to behave very life like, much better than LFS. It just a pity the replay graphics are typical ISI crap. I will give Bathurst a run tonight.
How are the other aussie tracks? any one tried them. I am quite impressed with the V8 mod. Looking forward to the finished version.

I found it very difficult to drive without the speedo and gear indicator ect.

Keep up the great work.

This is making me a very happy little vegemite

Cheers

Bluesman · Post by **Bluesman** » Mon May 23, 2005 11:27 pm

sorta Crank....Muso m8 gave me the nick coz of my luv of da Blues

I'm a drummer

Crankcase · Post by **Crankcase** » Tue May 24, 2005 9:54 pm

Cool

. and no drummer jokes today

Downloaded Sandown but the games crashes back to the desktop when I start that track. I see there is a "Sandown light fix" to download, But I can never down load it from m4driving.it. Do I need this, or do you think Ive cocked up the the track install. Anyway maybe someone can email it to me @ crankcase@exemail.com.au

Its only a small file

EDIT: The download worked at last. Must be a busy server

The completed mod is awesome you blokes

I owe u all beers

Cheers

Rots · Post by **Rots** » Wed May 25, 2005 12:39 pm

Yes, you need the light fix.

All I have left to download from m4driving is the silverstone stuff... man I wish that site had more bandwidth, this is painful - near impossible to get the files and when I do they download at 4k instead of 26k

Ah well, you get that.
