Re: SCGT: Bathurst and V8 Cars.

Bruce the Tourcar patch adds some classes, but you still need to change the class are in the Veh file. I did that and have both cars now in my V8 class that is made with the Touring car patch. Use GTVE to change the class of your existing V8 cars to match the read me in the Touring Car Patch.

Well Griff site has some other V8 cars and they are good boies of them. I do prefer driving the Pits cars against Griff's cars since they are faster. I truely hope the Aussie V8s are better handling cars then shown here tho, since they are worse then my Solo ll car. they do soak up the bumps at Bathurst rather well.

Hey Bruce. The SP3.0 had about 15 of Last year's Falcon's and Commodores' with pretty up to date livery. The HP was down slightly from the new cars so those two Fords will drive away from the sp3.0 V8's. Also there are several sites in Europe that are making the DTM cars. I'm collecting the links now. here's one that will get you started, they also have some specific .veh files that are design to work with the Touring car patch. http://members.xoom.com/_XMCM/amtdijk/index.html dave henrie "David" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:01bfe844$9ea50be0$39d3fc3f@packardbell... > > Well Griff site has some other V8 cars and they are good boies of them.

Yer welcome. I yelled at Vince to update the links. I'm thinking he's looking for updated cars before he puts them out. I haven't tried the dtm cars yet, just found the link today...so goodluck. (you might have to edit the .veh files to get them in the proper category for the Touring patch. One question. I can add Bathurst for a single race, but after starting a V8 career and editing the matrix.mc file, I still don't see the Bathurst race listed with the other V8 races.

What an EXCELLENT job the creator(s) of this new circuit have done. Although it's a few years now since I last drove around Mount Panorama (before Caltex Chase was created) the memories came back when driving in SCGT. Well done, indeed! All I need now is some helpful advice as to how I go about getting a "fleet" of V8s to race against. I downloaded a file that gave me two cars...the Shell #18 and the Ozemail #21. However, the #18 car only appears under the GTQ class and the #21 doesn't show up at all! What is needed to get more than one car into a Class? If I use the Falcon in the GTQ Class it blows the pants off the BMWs and Porsches. I need another 15 V8s to race against! -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. ---------------------------

Thank you, Dave. I haven't contemplated d'loading the SP3.0 pack as it's just way too big for a 56 modem to handle within my lifetime! HA!! I tried getting the half-dozen or so V8 files from IWCCCARS but only one would download.....the Caterpillar Ford.

ok two things about the matrix.mc It is for the NORMAL scgt spcar.exe so any editing you do to that won't affect the Touring car patch.

Thanks again, Dave. No editing was necessary to get those cars included in the DTM category. Great cars, incidentally. (certainly less of a frame-rate hog than the Falcons, too.) For a fun experience, try the New Beetles! Incidentally.....what is the 'matrix.mc' file edited with?

Thanks heaps, Dave. One thing I found odd....whilst my matrix.tc file looked okay, my matrix.mc file was nothing but hieroglyphics and totally unintelligible. Is that correct? (It is also only 3 Kb in size as opposed to the matrix.tc file, which is 23 Kb). -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- Dave Henrie <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:0UO95.3327$[email hidden]... > ok two things about the matrix.mc It is for the NORMAL scgt spcar.exe > so any editing you do to that won't affect the Touring car patch.
