Any of you guys play around with the " Blancpain mod " ?

[Clubber_Lang 10]

It's a 1GB mod available for download and I've seen a few guys mention it and watched a couple videos of it on youtube. Just wondering if there is any leauges and so forth that are running it? Any open servers that may be as well?  Seems like it would be a great mod. Is the AI good in it? How many cars are actually modded in the sim? 

 

If you have some experience with it ( good or bad ) please post up some info.

The rFactor version is gold so my guess is that the GSC version will also be good

[Phill.R 12]

Yeah Clubber it is good mate.

 

In fact it's been upgraded from the rFactor source somewhat.

 

We have run it a fair bit a www.simracingaustralia.com.au and We have a series coming up with it a little later in 2014

One word....WOW!  I went and downloaded it last night and installed it this morning. At first I unzipped the RAR file into a separate folder and went to manually install.....nothing new showed up in the sim , but all the origianl stuff still worked. So then I unzipped the big RAR file directly into my " gameData" folder......and that didn't work either. So I manually removed those files and tried a different approach. I just unzipped the thing strait into my main GSC 2013 folder and let it over write everything.......and BAM.....the whole thing worked!

 

It did something I wasn't expecting......as it re-wrote the ENTIRE look of the game!  The entire navigation to get to cars , tracks , settings , ect.....all completely different!  The new interface doesn't look anything like the original GSC 2013 interface.......but I'm kind of really digging it!  I'm not sure how many new GT class cars this mod just gave me , but with different color schemes and so forth.....it has to be around 50+ I would think?

 

Oh man......I already loved GSC 2013......and now with this mod installed , it opened up a whole new world in this sim. Incredible and I love it!  Great Christmas present to myself.

 

BTW.....I am not sure who the original author of the mod is , or who it was that did the conversion from Rfactor to GSC 2013........but whoever you are....THANK YOU for doing such an awesome job!

I have this mod but didnt get any change in navigation to get to cars, What did you get?

[Clubber_Lang 10]

Ronzer....I will upload some pics for you I took of my screen I'm seeing here. It seems to be much different than what a lot of people are seeing I think. Maybe this is a newer version of the mod or something?  But what I'm seeing doesn't even look like GSC 2013 any more......everything looks different and there is a LOT of extra cars in here!  The navigation takes some getting used to because I don't know where everything is at just yet.

[Clubber_Lang 10]

Ronzer.......They are kind of crappy pics , but this gives you an idea of what I see on my screen. It's a lot more detailed than this as you go through things. Great Mod for this sim!

Yes its different than mine, were did you download it from? and how many Corvette's does it have? mine only has one.

Thanks

This is where i downloaded it from >> https://mega.co.nz/#!IIwFkZiL!LG_oBXxDjrwN6ELn6iAfbhB3uz8GFYOyAoLQrbc1cZA

 

Couple things here......

 

After you download it , put the big zip file in a folder of some type and unzip it right there. You will notice that there is "another" zip file inside the main one ( I don't know what it is ). I say to do this because then you can get a good look at where it is at after you unzip the main file. I'll then unzip the main zip file right into the main GSC 2013 file,.....the whole thing. Then I'll locate that other small zip file it just put into my GSC main folder......unzip it right where it's at.....then remove the small original zip file from the GSC main folder.

 

I "think" that little file is what changes the outlook of the interface. 

 

OH....as far as corvette's go....I think there is only the one , but quite a few different color schemes and so forth. And so far....I am having a lot of fun with this mod. Really cool that we can get something like this......and it's all free. Just adds to the original sim.

[Clubber_Lang 10]

Edit....not sure why the whole link won't become a hyper link....but it does work. just highlight the whole thing and open up in a new window....works good.

A little info guys,

 

The mod was converted to GSC2013 by Mr Frank Alexandre. You should check out his tracks too

 

The GUI interface change is known as the xUI or X User Interface as was originally developed as a plugin for rFactor.

It offers a different GUI for the game entirely and also adds a few neat features as far as the cars showroom is concerned.

 

Why is it in the Blancpain mod??? This mod tended to freeze and shutdown a lot when Alt Tabbing back to desktop, An issue born of some inherant

problems in the standard Reiza studios / gMotor 2 user interface.

 

The xUI interface tends to for what ever technical reason's make this issue a lot more stable, and thus this is why the modder included it in the mod.

 

Further the mod can also be DL'd from my league's FILE VAULT  HERE

Thanks I will give it a try, I only have one paint scheme for the corvette so something is wrong.

Thanks

Hey Phil.....went and checked out your site last night and downloaded a couple tracks. I have probably around 30+ tracks installed and working in the sim.....but for some reason , the tracks that are listed as " Laser scanned " or whatever......I can't seem to get those to work.

 

The tracks I'm having issues with are Watkin's Glen ( The older WG 1967 works perfectly ) , Silverstone and Zanvoort. All, three of those tracks were converted I think by the Team Ninja guys. I just joined up there on the Black visor site so I could ask some questions as well. You know , now that I think about it....I did have issues with another track called " Albi 2006 ".........not sure if they converted that track.

 

OH.....and on the black visor site , i had seen the updated patches for these. I downloaded and unzipped the patch right into the track folder and still nothing. Is there something special I'm supposed to do to install these SRW tracks?

 

 

 

[Clubber_Lang 10]

Not sure why I couldn't get that response out of the qouted area....hmm?

 

anyways.,........

What happens if you have the mod installed and perform an update of GSC 2013 and a file, e.g. the RealFeelPlugin.ini, is replaced by the update? Or do you guys install the mod only if you want to play it and deinstall it afterwards?

By the way, I compared the RealFeelPlugin.ini of the mod to the original one and the settings of the two karts are different.

I got it working and I like the new UI and it seems to load tracks a little bit faster.

Thanks for your help

No problem at all Ronzer!  You may run into a small road block like I did today with installing a couple of the newer tracks. If you come across the Watkins Glen , Zandvoort and Silverstone " Laser SRW " style tracks.....there is a little patch file that you will need to DL. Unzip it and you'll see two little files inside.....just copy and paste those into the locations folder. Not in any one specific track folder.....but just the main locations folder!  This little patch lets these newer style GSC 2013 creations run.

 

I DL all three of those tracks and they are amazing. AND....I just downloaded a new fanatsy track called " Ambush Canyon " !!.........OMG that is soooo friggin' fun!! 

 

And since I love watkins Glen.....I really had a blast on that one as well.

Yeah Clubber, the loose files found inside the "Common Maps" patch are to be placed into the root of the Locations folder directly and loosely, Do Not place them inside the actual track folders mate.

 

** You also only need to Dl and install the "Common Maps" patch once. No need to DL it for each and every track buddy.

 

Do this and they will work.

 

EDIT I JUST NOTICED YOU GOT THEM WORKING CLUBBER ;P
