Hey Guys, I asked this over Discord the other night, but now I'm going to make it official.

Does anybody know how to turn off the darn headlights on the Nissan? I use CM and have the Shader Patch installed, but being a bit of a Luddite I can't for the life of me see how to disable those annoying lights.

Thanks.
CM settings..then select Custom Shaders Patch then Lighting FX and turn Brightness down to 170%...will reduce all ,over bright lighting effects, but still looks good.

4 rounds, enough to get us dizzy but hopefully not sick of it.
Looks good to me Seanus 8).

Yeah I did. But at the same time I was redoing the Buick and now Pontiac again! (groan) so I'll have to back to you on that.
OK thanks Seanus, I guess we could just use another track with Lotus 25 for next week.

I've got one of my infamous fixed versions. Planning to contact the author with the changes, waiting to see if he revises his version.
Thanks Seanus, this is a great track 8). Did you see my post re Oval season?

The new 9th gen cpus are soldered under ihs, no more pigeon poo lol, so better heat transfer (although the 9900k still stuggles at max oc because of the power it uses). Only need minimal paste since its only there to fill the micro scratches in the connecting surfaces, obviously too little can impair performance if not getting full coverage. I did a repaste on my old xbox one yesterday because the fan kept kicking in to full speed, what a pita that was, much better now. (xbox is only a media pc these days...don't you judge me lol). Have you tried manual voltages, some boards will over do it a bit, also what ram did you get?
The bundle came with 3600 16Gb. I have not tried a manual OC as I figured I would only achieve at best 5.3 GHz anyway. Another plus of this mobo is the built in WiFi with separate antenna which performs as good as a Lan cable :) :) :). I am super happy with this mobo 8).

Does it have RGB?
Not anymore Joe, lol.

On a lighter note, have fun Phil and we will see you when you can make it 8). I would like to thank you on behalf of all the Flattops Fun Run runners for the sterling job you have been doing. You have become an expert at TraknCar combos that provide maximum fun and close racing  ;D ;D ;D 8) 8) 8). I have asked Seanus if he wants to put together an Ovals season. I also have ideas in mind for some seasons.
Who can admin the server in your absence? or you could just set it to click over and the drivers could vote on next sessions.

Yes, I was lucky in the OC CPU lottery. Interestingly my air cooler was only a cheapie BEQuiet that I added an extra fan to, a "NoiseBlocker"https://www.pccasegear.com/products/44170/noiseblocker-nb-eloop-fan-b12-p-pwm-120mm which has a high CFM rate.  I also, for the first time, used the "single rice grain" sized thermal paste in the centre of the CPU, I have previously always used the "credit card spread" of a large amount of thermal paste method.  My CPU idle temps are in the low 30 degrees and the highest I've recorded under full load is 78 degrees  ;D.  Is this because of better heat transfer owing to minimal thermal paste application, which prevents any air pockets forming?  I don't know. 
My cooler points were 154 according to Asus AI overclock utility, which put it in the AIO cooler category.
 
This build is also very quiet and under full load is barely audible.

My CPU voltage will go as high 1.36v to run at 5.2Mhz but that apparently is quite OK.

Mod Cars / Touring Car Legends Mod Pack by Bazza and Dr. Doomslab released
« on: September 30, 2019, 07:14:14 AM »
From F1 CLASSIC

For the last couple of years I have been working on a Touring Car Legends mod. It started as a little side project but it turned out to a full mod pack containing 15 different cars. Some of them I've released as separate cars in the past. But for this pack all cars have a proper BoP so they can compete with eachother. My goal was to use a realistic physics set, with as much real data as possible. This means that most cars have unique 'build from scratch' suspension physics, engines and gearbox. I tried to reproduce the vehicle dynamics of the era, thus no old cars with modern suspensions, high spring frequencies and heavily adjusted roll centers. So you do need to balance the cars and be gently with your weight transfers, else you will be fighting inertia big time Smile

Currently I'm balancing the cars out in the physics department and some polishing of the models has to be done. For models initially released by 3rd party modders I tried to reach all the respective modders. Many already gave me permission, still awaiting a few replies.

Here are some links to preview video test drives.

All good with the new build, stable OC at 5.2 Mhz, with my tower air cooler ( ASUS AI overclock, not a manual OC, great mobo :) :) ). Can run with 23 AI cars and maintain 90fps at back of grid in VR ,at a resolution of 2900x2900 per eye. Had to format my HD :'( :'( , cloned disk would not boot, and then got error    "windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only be installed to GPT disks."  when I attempted Win 10 install.  This took a while to fix :'(. thanks for the internet.
Anyway I am extremly happy with the result ;) thanks to all those who steered me in the right direction.
