Ah, sorry for the confusion, Mike. Still very cool that you and your group will provide tuned setups and AI files for all IndyCar Series tracks. If only all modding groups had that attention to detail …

Looking forward to this one, man! You know I’ll pimp it to the heavens if it’s as good as I think it will be. :)

For sure this is a great improvement over what has been seen in the past. This portion of the project has been in the works since Mike and I first met back in April or so. As we wrap up production on it, I would like to thank Mike for working with me on this mod…it was rough at times, but our love for the series hopefully will show with this relaunch of the mod.

There is some confusion it seems.

This mod DOES NOT include tracks (you will still need to download the actual track packs from the respective sites.

We simply have configured the AI learning files, TrackConfigsBase.ini and Upgrades.INI’s to work with these 3 track packs.

Paul, this includes the Watkins Glen GP at theuspits.com with the full long course.

Again, no tracks are included. The mod is just compatible and ready to go out of the box with these track packs.

This will probably be very good, but whats going on with the noses on these cars (Not the models, the real cars)? They were so beautiful, and now they look like Pinocchio!

My only quibble with these screens is that second picture from the right on the second row shows the cars skipping “The Boot” portion of the course at the Glen.

Since this mod is using stock car tracks from JNS, SCE and TPSCC, I sure hope we’re not forced to run the NASCAR “short” course at the Glen. The IndyCar Series uses the full Grand Prix circuit, including “The Boot.”

Otherwise, gorgeous!

Damn! I had no idea Mike Peters and Co. were including tracks with properly tuned AI with this mod. EXCELLENT!

I believe this mod also will be 100 percent RealFeel compatible, which also is superb.

Can’t wait for this one!
