Hi I’ve tried to download GTR2 to coincide with my GTREvo game, to no avail. Where do I extract the files to? What path?

I appreciate any help!

Hank Amarillo:
Well, I really appreciate the work of the modders, but mods like these are the reason why SimBin started to sue a lot of the big european online leagues..

First off all, VirtualR fully complies with Simbin's community guidelines which include permission of forward conversions. That means that modders are allowed to port content from older Simbin titles to newer versions such as GTR Evolution. As such, the mod is fully legal and that's the reason it has been posted here. Furthermore, Simbin never sued any leagues so whereever you heard/read that was completely wrong.

Thanks DRat .. that worked! I was concerned because the UIData folder existed but only one file was in there .. now all is good :)

Absolutely untrue ! Please check before you post that kind of things.

Safest way: Run the .exe file, which is a 7z executable, and set the output to a convenient holding folder, like C:\ModTemp or something. It does not have to be an existing folder.

Then locate your GTR Evo or Race 07 folder under C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\{your steam id}\{Race07 or GTREvo or whatever}. This is the part you should not screw up: now just copy the UIData and GameData folders from your holding folder into the game folder.

Enjoy!!!

ral42 .. how do you install this for the Steam version ? I can’t find the folders UIData or GameData for the Steam version … everything seems to be in a compressed file ? Sorry for posting here but I didn’t see a forums link.

Thanks! James

ScHiRoCk: physics from GTR2? so the GTR2 cars go faster around a track then the evo cars or visa versa?

ScHiRoCk, over at our club drivers are seeing slower times in the GTRevo GT cars.

Just once, just once I’d like to see a mod released that doesn’t need a bloody patch the instant it’s released… *sigh*

Hope this is actually good.

Works for me with the Steam versions. And I’m pretty sure it doesn’t replace anything, because it creates new series where all of the new stuff is.

Does anyone know if this will work with the “Steam” versions of Race07 and GTRE ?

Also, this won’t overwrite any of the current cars or physics to the Race07/GTRE cars .. it just adds the GTR2 cars along with their associated physics ?

Thanks!

Looks good and tests very well. I did find that for some reason the graphics RAM load is apparently a bit higher than either GTRE or GTR2. Offline non-private testing at the full version of Paris now gives me occasional long pauses along with “graphics memory overload” messages. I’ve not seen this with any of the GTRE/Race07 series yet (but it could be a different cause, of course). The testing was being run with the 2004 Lotus Elise, and it works just fine with other tracks tested, including “Paris Light”.

Thank you for a great conversion!

Same here on the Elise.

Lotus Elise has caused a lockup for me on one occasion.

Not true, actually Simbin officially annonunced that they would accept converts from their older titles to the newer ones.. it’s the MODs that steal stuff from one developers platform to the next which is’nt cool.
