Maybe I’ll port it over when I’m done with some more liveries from the series. The F4 is by far the more popular car to make paints for.

Yeah it is quite decent, even though I wish they leaned a little more on the actual racing and strats and stuff. But I understand that the studio will probably not have the budget or time to actually make that aspect their focus.

My side project list is already 3-4 pages long. But I’ll post if I do try it, maybe I’ll just make some visual assets and hope someone will build the game around them.

I’m very tempted to try to create a spiritual remake of SSX as a side project, despite knowing it takes a proper team and a budget to do it.

SSX 3, was a hit then, would be a hit now.

Running a Porsche GTP. Several seconds off-pace but hopefully there will be time to do some regular races to practice this week. Enjoying the car but dreading the chaos of being stuck behind GT3s in the Esses.

The SR10 is heaps of fun if you accept that it is not a direct replacement of the SR8, which I drove for a bit before they brought in the 10. I see it as a modern, downscaled take on the big-turbo era of prototype racecars. My main tip is to take care on the throttle on cold tires in first-second gear as the turbo really kicks in hard.

5-6hrs probably. Once I make it once I can port it over to other cars in an hour or two, depending on template complexity.

Thanks. I use photoshop and template files provided by iRacing. The graphics were made with various selection tools, custom brushes, layer effects, generated patterns and an understanding of how to use the specmap features in the game.

I tend to start with creating graphic design elements like the blocks of color and styling separately from the car, then I take those elements and apply them to the car, taking into account the shapes of the car and how complex the template is. Then I apply logos and other details. Lastly I adapt those graphics to the specmap to make things shiny or metallic.

It is definitely possible to have clean races in most categories, but it depends on the class. I did a GR86 race the other day and was shunted off in lap1 by an overly aggressive fellow who bumpdrafts in corners. The next race was GT4 at Suzuka and I finished with no incs and good fights. Both were around 1700ir SoF and me in midfield positions. Driving standards haven’t changed much since I started using iR 4 years ago.

Now, with the changes to grass and damage repairs, maybe we’ll see less offtracks resulting in bowling strikes as people can actually slow down and steer a bit on the green stuff now. And repairs prioritize mechanical damage over aero.

The common factor is you. keep your heads up and nose out of trouble, learn to read the field and consider what fights are worth it and what areas of the track is prone to accidents. If something happens up ahead, brake and move predictably until you see a clear path through.
