Greg probably will hate me...
I was doing a texture for the Lancia (the end of the fuel tanks) and i found a problem with a polygon...if i´m not wrong the polygon has the Normals flipped...since it´s looks ok on Max after flip all normals to the same direction (outside)...

hagapito40, there is no hate from me ... it is always good to find and implement fixes to our GPL adventures.  

Please pass along your fixes to me via private PM.  I will add them to your growing list of improvements.

That's a mapping error not a normals problem.
Just a matter of changing u/v values by using them from nabour polygons.

there is the same problem on the left tank viewved from the cockpit...(same tank but over the top)

It has been brought to our attention that there are questions concerning the 55Mod car's top speed.  Here are the results from our intrepid testers (thanks Manfred C.) as of last April 2017.
Speeds are in mph.  Track was offline at Circuito Bloodbath - https://srmz.racesimcentral.net/inde...?showtopic=3240

Using default setups (no over-inflated tyres to gain more speed or other tricks) across the board as offered with the exception of changing gear ratios to achieve the absolute maximum top end @ XXXXX rpm, I recorded values noted below.  The object was to determine at what engine speed was the vehicle's top speed achieved.

1955 Top End

Vanwall  > 164 @ 7100-7350
Gordini T16  > 162 6000-6125
Connaught  > 160 @ 6000-6600
Maser 250F  > 163 @ 7150-7600
Ferrari 555SS  > 164 @ 6950-7350
Lancia D50  > 165 @ 7800-8050
Mercedes W196  > 167 @ 8650
Mercedes W196SL > 178 @ 8600
Ferrari 625  > 163 @ 6850-7350

I've tried the top speed on the Avus after the gearbox attitude, without slipstream, on the s/f straight, with the correctly max.u/min.

Connaught = 248 Km/h
Gordini = 252 Km/h
Vanwall = 253 Km/h
Ferrari 625 / Lancia = 254 Km/h
Mercedes = 255 Km/h
Ferrari 555 / Maserati = 256 Km/h
Mercedes Streamliner = 273 Km/h

[Mc Wolf]

New Information about Avus topspeed !
With reworked gearbox, and gasoline for 10 laps !

Gordini = 260 Km/h @ 6000 Rpm, laptime = 2:23,35 (third lap)

[Mc Wolf]

....and the both other cars with 4 gears !
Reworked Gearbox, and gasoline for 10 laps !

Connaught = 256 Km/h @ 6500 Rpm, laptime = 2:19,25 (third lap)

Vanwall = 263 Km/h @ 7200 Rpm, laptime = 2:17,50 (first lap)

Goodnight

Hey, McWolf!  Long time...  No see...

Nice to see that of the three latest trials you've mentioned, you are approaching my values.

[Mc Wolf]

Hi Donnie !

How are you ?
I remember me, that we are drove many hot races together. Is the ADC still on living ?
I've stopped my online racing, but my interests are still the same
(GPL GT67 / CanAm 66 & 71 / 55 F1, Nascar 2003 / TransAm / GTP, GTL & GTR2)
I'm working the last years on my both tracks for GTL (Hamburger Stadtpark 39 & Deutschlandring 39) You've seen my pre videos on Youtube ?


Here now my speedtest part 2, on the Avus with the 55 italy cars.


Maserati = 262 Km/h @ 7400 Rpm, laptime = 2:16,79 (second lap)

Ferrari 625 = 262 Km/h @ 7200 Rpm, laptime = 2:16,66 (third lap)

Ferrari 555 = 265 Km/h @ 7200 Rpm, laptime = 2:16,23 (third lap)

Lancia = 265 Km/h @ 8000 Rpm, laptime = 2:15,53 (first lap)


Tomorrow i'll try the last two german cars.

[Manfred Cubenoggin]

The ADC still alive and kicking?  You bet!  The VOR combines race nights to keep the server population up.  In fact, here's a copy/paste of last Friday night's action where I expect that you'll recognize a few names...

Tonight, it's CanAm action at Mosport with both the '66 and '71 mods.  Join up and have some fun!  

Best of luck with those two silver cars.  They are dynamite!

In case you (or anyone else) get the bug again, the ADC forum and schedule is at https://forums.speedg...hp?showforum=27

[hagapito40]

Mc Wolf thanks for the testing!



The problem with the top speed is:...The handling of the cars are epic...probablibly the best physic in GPL with the CanAm66 IMO (after driving every single sim except iRacing). So... if they don´t reach the correct top speed is becouse are underpowered...and if you change the power you change the handling...so i will not expect to much response from the modding team.

Now the last two german cars !

Mercedes Open Wheeler = 266 Km/h @ 8500 Rpm, laptime =2:16,08 (second lap)

Mercedes Streamliner = 282 Km/h @ 8500 Rpm, laptime = 2:14,68 (third lap)
With ai cars, and one more for each straight with slipstream = 290 Km/h @ 8800-8900 Rpm, Lap 3 & 4 = 2:13,28 & 2:13,26.
This car are with the badest brakes ! Be careful ! Thank you for watching !

Thank you,Donnie and Bob for the info's

@ Hagapito40, you are right, and I like this carsets (F1 55 & CanAm66) but I'm not pleased with the fantasy parts of the physics, about the brakes and setup ranges, sorry.

Whatever, thx to all guys, who involved with this work ! ! !

....and Greg....I'm looking forward for the Nürburgring without the Hohenrain chicane.


At last a question please. Why I'm missing the german flag for the Avus in the GPL-Laptime menue ?

Sorry for my broken english.
