    Doh. Saw you on and was hoping to turn some laps with you. What seems to be the trouble?

    My TH8 has bit the dust. Locked itself in second, but was doing plenty of weird sh1t for about 20mins before dying. Doesn't even show up on the PC any more and no go with the PS3 either. Had a fiddle, but I think she'll have to go back. Was trying to get the wheel set up better, but wasted about an hour on the shifter. Ahh well, still have the paddles. Got a few mates coming over now, so packed it up and am looking for a beer. Another day.

    Looks awesome Tovey, yeah the tut is pretty easy to follow, I checked it out but Im not one for skinning cars, rather just race em :D
    If you wanna post pics you need to get a photobucket acc or similar, you post pics there and then link them in your posts using the "direct" link code, and paste it into the Image URL that pops up when you open the image box in the tools pane. Hope this helps mate :)

    Cheers.

    when I do pics mate I use the basic windows editor, right clic on the pic you wanna resize, then clic on EDIT, from here it's all very easy and it's not a complicated editor, so you should be good from there. I always resize my pics by 50% gets em to below 700kbs that way and always save as gif image, keeps em small for posting, PNG is another popular image format on websites. Anyway, any dramas just holla:)

    Cheers
    Edit: just edit & delete the image for the doubled up pic.

    Awesome, Ive bookmark that one :), good find Tovey. Looks like Ive seen some of these up on RD a while ago, but they got removed pretty quick for being unauthorised conversions, RD are have strange policy on mods/tracks on their site IMO.
    Some of these conversions look really good, will defo be keeping an eye on the site. Will down load a few of the better ones see what there like in game.

    Cheers.

    I have done a little D/L from the website you posted @Tovey_4saken some mods are in need of major work to get to an Assetto Corsa minimum, but others aren't bad at all. So after going for a squirt in a few of em, thought Id have a rant :)

    Camaro GT3, is a little rough graphically interior wise, but it sounds and drives well, the physics seemed well balanced, you definitely know your driving a Camaro, it's BIG and feels it although the steering feedback was really weak forcing me to tweak my settings to get more from the wheel, I enjoyed the 20 or so laps of the Nurburgring. This thing is fun to drive, lacked a tight steering lock but probably setup related, I found it easy to heel N toe with this, must be the sound of the fat v8 note. Also liked the dirty windscreen view for that little bit more immersion. The one negative was the fixed helmet image in the rear view mirror o_O, pretty sure it's removable just need to know how.

    Porsche 997GT3, looks and sounds great, but for some reason just didn't seem to go fast, might of been setup related though, I had to raise the ride height 40mm all round just to get it out the pits :confused: lol. This mod has very authentic Porsche sounds, the physics is also quit good, this car is very agile/responsive in the steering, the suspension is quit stiff also so curb hopping is thwart with risks, actually behaves like you'd expect a 997 on steroids to behave. With a good setup this will be much fun, and a Porsche Cup is possible with the Template included in the mod :) just need to learn to paint skins ;)

    FCM, 2014 Mercedes W05, yup yup yup, this is F1, what a mod :D. From the moment you leave the pits you have this feeling that this thing will be a screaming heap of fun, the note is just V6 Turbo all over, and the downshift flame popping up in the mirrors is cool, if not slightly distracting. the steering response is sharp and direct but with a smooth flow about the way it handles, I found myself deliberately getting on the pedal early to feel the rear step out, but surprisingly managed to hold it most the time, even more of a feat with my average/ageing reflexes :), This mod is a must for anyone into F1, highly recommended, built buy the same team who released the GP2 season mod. Which is also one of the best quality mods to date for AC IMO.

    Corvette C6R, what can I say......more please!! this is just up there in quality and physics, the interior is really well done with a working rear view vid screen on dash, great for watching your burnouts ;), many hours have been put into this mod this is evident from the moment it loads on track and you place you butt inside, the interior layout and attention to detail sets this mod off from the get go, but then you pop 1st gear and squeeze the pedal your met with this deep throaty ROAR of a 6ltr Chev race v8 :cool::D, it's automotive bliss what can I say. It's handling is excellent and it goes like the clappers, the smooth feel and balance of the car make for relaxed steering inputs which can only lead to quicker lap times, another must have in the Assetto Corsa garage.

    There's a few more to test yet, a Subaru BRZ, a Speed 8 (aka Bentley 8) and a Toyota TS020 prototype :p

    I tried to D/L an Escort MkII twin turbo mod from HERE!! but it failed 3 times, will try again later as it sounds feken insane :D.

    Enough ranting for now :rolleyes::D

    Calder is one of my absolute Fav tracks, if you get stuck there's heaps of tut's around and you can always post a help thread on the AC forums, wish I knew more about3D etc I'd defo help with it, but I'm just a big noob in that department :(.
    I got the Escort in the end, just had to wait till all the local kiddies got booted of their xboxes & sent to bed to freed up some bandwidth lol, bloody Optus :rolleyes:
    I'm having problems staying out of the C6R, what an awesome ride it is :cool::D.

    Im sure one of the membs here is a 3D designer, @garyw61 , wonder if he wouldn't mind offering some assistance with it, might be worth a PM, can't hurt.
    I found a must have app for tyre temps http://www.drivingitalia.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=64536
    but you may need to register with the site, it's Driving Italia who have a massive d/l section for AC, only problem is 85% is in Italian, I knew I should of payed more attention during Italian at school :p lol.

    I dont think it matters who your ISP is ATM, unless your on the NBN or over the street from the exchange, net speed is Crap Oz wide.
