TPSCC 2.00

The Pits StockCar Challenge

Welcome to The Pits Stock Car Challenge!

This mod is for rFactor (http://www.rfactor.net) and is a simulated stock car championship based on real stock car racing series. Please note that this series is based on real information gained from those actually in the business, weeks and months have been spent insuring that car physics represent the real thing as closely as possible.

This mod contains fictional cars at a low-res (1024) setting, for high-res cars, please see The Pits for other downloads. Tracks that have been specifically tailored for this mod are also available. Due to this, we only suggest that leagues use tracks that have been tailored for TPSCC. We cannot guarantee the racing performance of cars driven on other tracks.

There will be numerous notes and some setups released with the game, please make sure that you read everything before complaining.

We will NOT be releasing 3dos of any type for this mod.

Please note that an "AddOns" directory can be found in the TPSCC_2008 vehicles folder. This has been added to the TPSCC mod search path, so you can actually add new modifications to vehicles without having to overwrite the original mod files. You can also find a directory called "Templates", this has templates for painting the splitter and wing. The #76 Impala shows how to use it, see filenames.

Other templates (cars, rims, driver suits, helmets, pit wagons, etc.) and car sets will be released at The Pits in the near future ;)

Version Information:

0.20b

2) Updated Sounds
3) Support for Spring Rubbers added...You will start the race without any and have the ability to add them during a pitstop as well as removing those added later in the race. Currently there is no way to start the race with any spring rubbers already in the car. They are only part of the pit menu option screen available just as you would change air pressure, wedge, grill tape, etc before a pitstop.
4) More cars
5) Tire adjustments for both tire wear as well as tire pressures.
6) Wedge adjustment--The adjustment is now 0.50 turns instead of the old 0.48 per click. Each "click" is approx equal to 0.1% weight change in crossweight of the car. EX. 10 clicks or 5 rounds of wedge is approx equal to 51% crossweight.
7) Initial damage input from jtbo
8) BGN physics & car from Brian
9) added uninstaller for beta testing

0.10b
Initial beta build

Known Bugs:
* AI may not operate correctly at all times - we have tweaked and played with the AI for awhile. They actually act better than in TPSCC v1.0, so that's good.

* Car damage may not always be portrayed correctly - The damage model for rFactor leaves a bit to be desired, hopefully they'll fix that in future versions. Be aware that we've tweaked the damage quite a bit, it should seem fairly realistic in many instances, but not in all of them.

How do you increase caution sensitivity for full course cautions in rfactor?
racer113 on May-25-2010

the most overhyped piece of garbage ever. jocko was so right
slyjohnny on May-05-2010

I have a question for the people who made this mod and the COT Models. Can I please convert the COT models from the TPSCC Mod over to NSR & NT2004, I really want those COT models for NSR & NT2004 so badly because NSR & NT2004 need an update. I promise you guys that I will give you credit. Just get back to me and give me an answer as soon as you can.

I have the same errors as K-C Motors. Someone has a lot of explaining to do.

If peeboy makes an ignorant comment, does anyone really care?

IF a modding group produced a mod and no one ever ran it, does that mod indeed exist?
peeboy on Feb-04-2010

Sorry for the delay. The sparks are because you have the bump-stops on the bottom...add some packers and it will cure that. The links on here are very old. Please go to The Pits for the latest stuff...http://www.thepits.us/board/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=14900

man the car skins are by far the best ive seen to date from all stock car mods....
but the car is throwing sparks from touching the ground no matter what you do. if not for that this mod would be the best.... not to fun hearing it scraping and seeing the sparks all the time. what is going on? hope that gets fixed would love to get a league running on this. but till that is fixed no can do.
