GT Legends league - season 2 discussion

must admit i was hoping we would run both classes bi-weekly as i would like to have raced the 60's and 70's series car sets.
i dont quite get why you would want two different eras on track together? But anyway, i have signed up in the 70's group, Porsche 911 for me please

 

err i would do except that it says 'this discussion is closed, not open for further replies' but must admit i hadnt noticed i had posted in the Legends bit can you move my post there?

 

Shame this came out after we finished the season. Vers 2.0 with some major physics and gfx updates, including the CSL’s wonky axles

I’d happily race this series again on a different set of tracks

 

ACL version 3 to be released soon

Yeah one for the future perhaps. The blurb states they have improved the tire model and suspension which I think were areas that some had noticed were lacking. I look forward to giving it a test

 

They've already updated this pack since we last raced it here which went some way to fixing the bigger physics problems and BoP. This does indeed look like a much bigger overhaul.....
"We're currently busy updating the whole pack to 2020 standards... You will be able to do 24 hour races in the wet
Besides that a new GTC pack will be introduced in phase 2. This pack will include all the great GT cars from the 60's.

The update includes:

GT-R pack
Physics from scratch:
- Rebuilt tiremodel
- Rebuilt suspensions from scratch for all cars
- Improved AI
- Improved FFB

Models, lots of upgrades:
- Up to 2020 standards with CSP
- all cars will have (refracting) headlights, wipers, improved shaders
- many 4k skins added
- all cars will have LoD's for better VR/ multiplayer/ big grid AI racing
- Reworked 3d colliders"

Edit: You need to download the Gr4 Pantera. Download link and instructions for install in above description.

Edit: The folder names for all the cars has changed. So to avoid having ver 2.0 cars hanging around I suggest you delete the ver 2.0 first then install this mod in the usual way e.g. Ver 2.0 folder name ac_legends_shelby_daytona Ver 3.0 ac_legends_gt_shelby_daytona

 

Just had a quick outing in some of these V3.0 cars and tbh first impressions aren't that great I've not been able to try all of the cars because some of them are causing my game to crash on loading (Daytona, 906. Capri, Jag)

Of the cars that I can load, they feel pretty numb. For instance the CSL feels far too planted and too forgiving as I can literally throw it at high speed corners with hardly a wobble. Be interested to hear how others get on but I would not be uninstalling the V2.0 cars just yet.

 

I had no problems. Jag's suspension felt a bit too bouncy but the Porker 911 RSR 74 was an excellent drive so was the Capri. Didn't drive the Beemer or the 906. .

Have you got CSP installed and active?

 

To be honest the physics in V2.0 were dodgy as well and the suspension for certain. But still it was good fun and a big variety in cars. They are just not up to the level of other top mods in AC imo at least. They are bringing out a lot of content (GPL, TCL, GTL..) and it is to be expected the quality suffers from it. But I participated in all those championships and had a blast.

 

Yep, '74 RSR drives well.

I have CSP installed and active. I've now removed V2.0 cars from my AC install and re-downloaded/installed V3.0 but still can't load. Tried launching AC from standard launcher too. Strange that I'm only having problems with certain ACL cars. I've attached a log file which shows errors finding shaders if anyone can make sense of that. I'll see if I can post the problem over at F1Classic too.

 

Looks like another is having similar issues over at Assetto Corsa Mod Central FB page. Bazza (the author) is looking into it. You may want to post there as the author is replying to it.

 

Issue affecting some W7 users has now been found and a patch will be released shortly.
