INTRODUCING THE GTPC BMW M1 - SR4L_LE (League Edition)
With kind permission of [ODS]Arnaud
With kind permission of [ODS]Arnaud
We are delighted to start testing our very own version of the GTPC BMW M1 mod.
[ODS]Arnaud has generously given permission for SR4L to modify the original vehicle to help make it more accessible to our drivers. The original GTPC version (available from Steam Workshop) can be a bit tricky to drive due to the authentic setup options (springs are quite stiff, tyre pressures are higher than many other mods etc.). The original mod also exhibits noticeable front-end lift at speed - making it a bit of a challenge at times!
IMPORTANT NOTE: The SR4L_LE version is not supported (in the technical sense) by GTPC - please report any issues etc. directly via this forum.
The SR4L_LE version has been given a greater range of adjustments to make it that bit easier to drive including:
- Revised Spring/Damper geometry
- Softer spring options
- Revised Damper rates
- Adjustable front aero & revised rear settings
You should find the car reasonably well balanced - and catchable! Note that the car retains the relatively-high centre-of-gravity and inertia of the GTPC mod so it does need some respect!
In addition, we are exploring some tweaks such as Push-To-Pass....!
P2P provides an allowance of power-on-demand. You will need to map keys (under the Drivetrain section) for both the P2P activation and the P2P time-remaining check.
The SR4L_LE mod currently allows up to two 5-second bursts of (significant) power per race. The allowance has been kept deliberately low for now - it will not be possible to defend with P2P lap-after-lap-after-lap in the same place, for instance. Use it wisely...
That's all for now - more details to follow. Please report any issues, thoughts etc. in this thread.
Server 2 (!SR4L-2) is currently up and running with the cars at Spa 1988. The track must be downloaded directly from the server. The vehicle should be downloadable from the server but can also be downloaded here: Mediafire linky
Note - the vehicle will show up in the car selector list under the heading 'SR4L_LE'
KNOWN ISSUES:
- Some car icons appear as 'drapes' in the vehicle selector list
- The SR4L external window banner is not visible from inside the vehicles in many cases (original internal banner view remains)
