Suspension data looks very good.

Looks very close to rFactor format too, I hope someone ports it across for use on the new V2.0 Ring...

Lovely biggrin

Hope?..... I'm taking bets on the number of minutes it takes. smile

Just needs the GTR/BMW files repacked as MAS files and the data from the CAS, HDC repackaged and renamed as GEN, HDV files with the other files renamed and data moved into fewer files. Create VEH files for each car.

Fiddly but easy.

Just needs work on the window transparency and some material renaming to follow the normal wcccarbody and wcextra1 naming and it should be fine. smile

I love it, done a system upgrade today too...

Tried it on an athlon 3000xp, 1gb ram and agp radeon 9800 pro video card - ran ok in 800x600 32bit colour, practice only - cried at a race...

Upgraded to athlon 64x2 5200, 2gb ram and pci-e radeon x1950 pro video card - runs as smooth as you like 1280x1024 32 bit colour, 3 pass fsaa... everything tuned up full!

now just need to dig out my old ff racing wheel!! biggrin

Why not just fire up the PC and pop this on instead?

Well, with one other mate, we had a dabble at the short circuit. We upgraded the shocks, no assists at all (no breaking zones etc either) and using an xbox 1 pad (manual gears) on my third lap i managed a 1.42.103, he got into 1.41's on a wheel suggesting 1.40 would be possible with a few more laps.

Might give you an idea of what is possible anyway and i'm sure the above times can be beaten.
