TIR Hardcore Physics Patch V1.0 now available

I've now officially released Version 1.0 of the TIR Hardcore Physics Patch. Here's the scoop (from the readme file): ================================== CHANGES FROM THE ADVANCED PHYSICS PATCH: You should have the latest official patch from Razorworks installed (currently version 1.3) in order to take advantage of all the physics tweaks. The majority of these tweaks should work with the earlier patch and the unpatched versions, but I haven't tested it with anything other than the 1.3 patch. This patch will also work with the demo, but you will have to rename the demo directory to "TIR" first. All cars and tracks should now be unlocked if you use this patch withthe full version of Total Immersion Racing. This patch features all the improvements from the "Advanced Physics Patch," but it takes things a step further by incorporating more realistic vehicle mass values (per recommendations made by Razorworks). Your laptimes will be more realistic, and a bit slower than before. This patch will also reset the lap record information -- now instead of forcing you to beat the Razorworks "benchmark" lap records, the lap record information will now gather YOUR best lap times as you go. The AI has been tweaked to slow the AI cars down a bit, making them more "raceable" with the new "Hardcore" physics values. The "target" times for new team "test drive offers" in career mode have been tweaked as well, making career progression do-able even with the "Hardcore" physics settings. AI qualifying times have been tweaked -- this will make qualifying a more realistic experience, and will further enhance gameplay in career mode. The AI will still out-qualify you at some tracks, but at others it is possible to qualify towards the front, or even grab the occasional pole position. Modified setups should offer even better qualifying results. Career progression should now be possible -- Test Drive "target" times have been tweaked, so it should now be possible to "earn" cars and advance up the career ladder. ================================== You can download the TIR Hardcore Physics Patch from my TIR patch site: http://irlheat.bhmotorsports.com/TIR/ Enjoy! ;-) -- JCB

Thanks John!! Is this one going to overwrite my linear steering settings? Marc "jbodin" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Yes, but only ever-so-slightly; rather than going full linear, I provide a very *slight* roll-off in sensitivity at higher speeds, I believe (works well with my TSW this way). You'll probably need to copy your steering linearity settings over to the cardata.dat file (I think that's the one). Otherwise, enjoy! ;-) -- JCB "Marc Collins" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:<idFHa.3857$[email hidden]>...

Guess Lance is getting ready to write another review of your efforts then :D Great work John. Mikkel jbodin <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
