- A lille modify about "announcer_1.wav" of Nordschleife track, listen if you like it (backup first your original file!)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tech/specs
------------
About graphic, i've modified existing models from other mods who you can download (see "Credits" part here in readme), for to do a similar version to real car.
About sounds, i've done some little modifies on .sfx files, and lots of sound are made by Thinlane-T, and are from addon sounds availables for GTR2.
About physics, i'm not a good modder about this part, but i've tried to do a good work, probably is not great but imho is not bad..(of course it can be better..muuuuch better than my version)
About AI, is not bad, i've seen lots of videos about VLN events and i've studied laptimes availables at VLN official site.
Of course, cars do not the same timelaps (real laps are a bit far), but imho is good at overall and i hope you like it..of course, it can be much better!! Wink
Also,for to see that times, my settings are:
100% strength
60% Aggressivity
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First of all, i hope you like my work, is tribute for all Nordschleife fans, and it's a really funny mod for to do endurance races and championships on that fantastic circuit (imho the best in the world)..
Probably my work it would be better than this in my release..i'm not a good modder about physics and other sides of one mod, i'm better in photoshop works..(i like really much to make skins for cars!)
If you like my work, and if you want to improve some side of my work (for example physics, or AI, or graphics,) or if you want to add other cars, well, will be fantastic!! it would be nice to see updates from other guys!!
Just tell me and you can improve what you want in my mod!! but please share with us! Wink for shure my work it will better with your help...
-For to use "VLN 3 groups" version track, you need the Nordschleife 2007 2.0 by Team rF-Nordschleife.de
-If you want to use my work, my skins in other mods, please tell me before!!! and give me credits!
-You need a good PC config for to play with a good detail.....but please try to play it in DX9. I've been tested it on all detail levels and it works without any problem..Probably also it works in DX8, and DX7..but i've not tested on that configs...
-Some graphic bugs in "night sessions"..flickering textures
-Some cars missing warning leds in cockpit motecs (CTD problems)
-i've removed most of upgrades (you can see only FFB upgrades) for to have same cars each model
Repeat, if you like my mod, please improve it if you want Smile
