Version 2.52LM Patch:
To help fix the purchase vehicle "Catch 22" problem we have created a patch that changes the Corvette purchase and experience values to 0 (zero). When you first install the mod you can now buy the Corvette, take it for a test drive and then use the ISI_BABYFACTORY command to purchase the rest of the vehicles.
Also included in this patch is a new set of LM tire compounds. The LM tire compounds have been specifically designed to generate more heat at tracks where the standard tires may be running considerably cooler than the optimum temperature of 230°F (110°C). However these special LM compound tires are NOT intended for use on most road courses because they will overheat very rapidly under normal race conditions. Furthermore the grip levels of the LM compound tires are slightly less than those of the standard compound tires. However when the track configuration requires a little extra heat in your tires heat, these are the tires to use.
WARNING: This patch will cause online mismatch errors if either the server or the client has not been updated with the LM patch!
Enjoy!
**************************************
The Série Internationale Du Mans mod is a mod loosely based on the European and American Le Mans racing series. This mod includes cars for the LM-P1 and LM-P2 classes as well as the LM-GT1 Corvette C6R. This special public version of the mod is actually part of a larger mod that contains LM-P1, LM-P2, LM-GT1 and LM-GT2 cars and classes. However for reasons which have been thoroughly explained in the ReadMe file, the full version of the mod has been restricted. Nevertheless we think that you’ll still enjoy racing with the LMP-only version of our mod.
We would like to offer a special thanks to Jpbs for his permission to use the Audi R8, Pescarolo C60 and Dome S101 models for our conversion. The Lola was converted from the Sports Car Challenge mod for GTR which was given a free pass for conversion and use by it’s original creators, RSDG as long as they are mentioned in the credits, which we have done in the ReadMe file. And the Porsche RS Spyder was converted from GTR2 with the permission of it’s original modeler, Ibne.
With this release, version 2.52, several adjustments have been made to the mod with regards to the tire wear and heat/grip levels, the brake heating and cooling variables including duct openings becoming a very integral part of the setup, pit stop refueling and tire change timings, and a few other changes that add even more to the strategy of endurance racing, even if you’re not running a real 24-hour race! More can be read about the changes in this update at the Carpe Noctem website, which a link to can be found below.
Also with this release, we have been given permission by Klaas van Houten and Arnold Wong of Team RMT to use their Chevrolet Corvette C6-R model, along with completely original physics and additional graphics work. The addition of the Corvette C6R, representing the LM-GT1 class, to this mod forms the foundation for three classes of cars! This piece of racing history has the power to outrun prototypes on long straights, but handling is at a premium with the additional weight of this class. But it’s a excellent example of the GT class of cars that can be found in the full version of the ILMS mod.
The full version contains three additional LM-GT1 cars, as well as three LM-GT2 cars, which are available only to members of thefollowing leagues;
• Champion Motorsports -> http://780bradford.com
• Virtual Online Racers -> http://gplvor.speedgeezers.net
• ILMS Endurance Racing League -> http://ilms.champion-motorsports.com
If you have any questions or comments about the restrictions placed on the full version of the mod >> It’s all explained in great detail in the ReadMe file and we’re sure that with thoughtful consideration you will understand and appreciate our reasoning.
Enjoy! |
