ETCC release for rFactor

[FourWheelDrift]

Think this might be a contender in my books for the rFactor league along with the V8 Supercars and/or something else.

Alfa Romeo 156, BMW 320, Seat Toledo's, Audis, Hondas, Volvos and Skodas.....

This has been very annoyingly packed, stupid really as you can't just extract the required folders to the rfactor folder. (If you try it just copies the uppper (pointless) folders as well and doesn't work. So........

Unpack it to your desktop, then go into the ETCC03_RF_Evolution_NFR_Team folder, then into the ETCC03 RF EVOLUTION, then into the rfactor folder. Here you will see all the familar gamedata, rfm, music etc... folders.

Just copy and paste them all into your own rFactor install folder, and click "yes to all" when it says there's already a folder there. It won't overwrite anything.



Ps. I really hate it when they zip/pack things up like this.

I like it. Good choice of cars and good FPS too.

Seems the default car skins are big, 2048 sized so anyone with small MB gfx cards have some problems with 15+ cars on the grid (I have a 512mb card so haven't experienced this) however smaller 1024x sized skins will be released soon if anyone does have FPS drops.

Fed up with RACE I've just done a few laps on the ETCC mod this evening to see what times each car could do around the Toban GP Long circuit, all with the same default setups I was only doing a handful or less of laps to get some times :-

Alfa Romeo - 1m37.5s - www.mercia.biz/rfactor/etcc/TobanGP-ETCC-Alfa-1m37-5s.Vcr
Honda - 1m38.4s - www.mercia.biz/rfactor/etcc/TobanGP-ETCC-Honda-1m38-4s.Vcr
Audi - 1m38.4s - www.mercia.biz/rfactor/etcc/TobanGP-ETCC-Audi-1m38-4s.Vcr
Seat - 1m38.7 - www.mercia.biz/rfactor/etcc/TobanGP-ETCC-Seat-1m38-7s.Vcr
Volvo - 1m38.8 - www.mercia.biz/rfactor/etcc/TobanGP-ETCC-Volvo-1m38-8s.Vcr
BMW - 1m39s - www.mercia.biz/rfactor/etcc/TobanGP-ETCC-BMW-1m39s.Vcr

Updated for better Alfa, Honda & BMW times and finally some Audi laps.

Most between 9-18months I'd guess depending no how many people are involved.

Touring car Legends has been in production for about 2 years and GTx5 has been in production for about 3-4 years so far.

Touring Car Legends - www.rfactorcentral.com/screenies.cfm?ID=Touring%20Car%20Legends

GTx5 - www.rfactorcentral.com/detail.cfm?ID=GTx5
(VLM's Le Mans tracks too - www.rfactorcentral.com/detail.cfm?ID=Le%20Mans%201972%2D1986 & www.rfactorcentral.com/detail.cfm?ID=Le%20Mans%201991%2D1996 )

I've done some more laps and updated the times on the previous page.

1.5s between all the cars, very close times and may well be the rFactor league cars of choice for it.

Replays on previous page, times here:-
Alfa Romeo - 1m37.5s
Honda - 1m38.4s
Audi - 1m38.4s
Seat - 1m38.7s
Volvo - 1m38.8s
BMW - 1m39s

All with the default setup.

And for an interesting league feature like the GTR days winners can be given weight penalties just like the real series.

Server Admin:-
Admin/server command "/setmass <mass> <playername>" applies a penalty mass to the given player with immediate effect. Mass is in kilograms and can be 0-255. Player name just has to match the first few unique letters (just like the /editgrid command). Penalty mass applies for the rest of the weekend - restarting a weekend clears the penalty mass.
