Also big thanks to Juls for developing a great inject tool (with no size limit for injecting) that is used in the installation of this patch.
Important information:
-------------------------
- requires latest official patch (v1.02)
- intended for use with a freshly installed game, but *should* also work with a modded game, as it will inject new files into your modded bff files.
- due to the significant changes made to the car tuning, the best thing to do is to reset each of your car's setups.
- the only tiny issue that I have encountered is that the main menu now opens with "Car lot" selected, rather than "Career" (seems related to unlocking hidden cars).
Changelist:
------------
- removed intro movies.
- numerous changes within chassis files:
-- fixed reversed toe values bug (flip values to match tuning menu).
-- created standard adjustment units for the following tuning options (set all base values to 0, this way you know what you're actually setting for these items):
---- tyre pressure now displays the actual kPa value.
---- steering lock now displays your actual steering lock.
---- differential Power/Coast/Preload
-- caster ranges now range from 0 to 70, corresponding to 0 to 7 degrees.
-- established a common base camber tuning range (-5 to +5 degrees) and adjustment value (0.1).
-- unlocked more default tuning options for lower tier cars.
-- fixed uneven ReboundTravel on many cars.
-- fixed diffuser base value typos on various cars.
-- fixed uneven left/right tuning on various cars.
-- fixed front & rear wing range for Audi R8 LMS.
-- fixed camber values on various cars.
-- Corrected fuel tank locations (some were up to 2m behind car).
-- fixed missing DiffPumpSetting values (from "DiffPumpSetting= " to "DiffPumpSetting=0" which was found to produce more consistent AI behaviour in Overhaul mod for Shift 1).
- fixed a bug that prevented proper upgrade of Mercedes 190e Evo2.
- unlocked hidden cars and events.
- disabled reverse driving penalty.
- reduced the magnetized effect of collisions with walls/rails and other vehicles.
- fixed reversed mirrors.
- fixed syntax errors in tracks.lod files.
