Greetings! Wow, what a hiatus it has been, apologies to everybody who had been testing my mod and providing crucial feedback.
It has been quite some time since, and I wanted to give everybody an update.

After recognizing other modders have integrated many races similar to what I started out with on GT2, more specifically a plethora from Gran Turismo 1, 3 and 5, I have decided to merge changes with my mod into these as a base.

what that means for the user is you will get the best of both worlds, along with features I will also introduce.

My mod from now-on, will be based off Performance Mod v1.0 and improving things on-top

So you will require:
Code: 
GT6 Spec II
    Customise Mod v.7
        Performance Mod v.9
            Performance Mod 1.0

These modders have added a plethora of content to GT6 already, including races from GT1, 3 and even 5 and Sport.

Forthcoming features:

  • All my GT2 races will be in their own folder from now-on
  • All races will use fuel usage, tyre wear and heavy damage (you will need to pit to repair)
  • New and improved endurances (a combination of 1-2 hour events and even some seasons of the World Endurance Championship)
  • AI given one or two tiers up for tyre choice & some power upgrades to create a more challenging race
  • Events that utilize rolling starts with higher-powered cars/events will be in closer formation
  • Grid starts spread out
  • A plethora of one-make & 'car feature' races to be added (BMW ///M Cup, V10-only, Super Saloons, and my personal favourite: 'Beat the Supercar with your beater' Challenges
And the big two - different & random prize cars rewarded

And experimental engine swaps!

Some text placeholders need to be fixed, but here is a Stingray with a Chevelle 454 swap, and tuning can still be performed on top. PP is calculated automatically.


By all means, I am taking requests for engine swaps you want to see, or events you want to race.
 
Just a small update, an alpha release soon!

New(er) features added:
  • Dynamic weather seeds - I ran a python script to modify event values that affect the weather to generate a completely random weather seed and weather wetting/drying rates/values. This should hopefully add some race intensity
  • Currently there are about 20 cars that are available with engine swapped variants. This is a timely process but more will come
  • Have been testing and adjusting many distances of the rolling starts, some even double file depending on the cars and tracks as mentioned in a prior post
  • Implemented far more usages of lesser-used tracks. Removed many uses of Silverstone
  • Prize cars awarded after event completions
  • Alpha-stage of coding a used car rotating dealership

Thanks for the support with those that have DM'd so far and have commented on the Discord thread!

I noticed something recently, that some "standard" cars look a bit better than others.

No, not the "semi-premiums"..

Cars on the PS2 games seemed to have some sort of effect on the car's texture that helped give the panel gaps some depth, maybe just being a separate layer on top? But in GT5 and 6 the standards mostly don't. Except, at least in GT6, I noticed that a few do have that. I wonder if that could be interesting to look at, maybe for focusing on them a bit for opponents lists? And/or used car list.

Also..

I just thought now if maybe the name would look better if it was structured as "Chevrolet Corvette Stingray (C3) '69 / 454 Swap", sort of like how the modification "comes after the car".

I guess I'm sort of thinking on how it would look in alphabetical order, since I save lots of reference pictures for car color/designs/liveries and stuff, and have to name them in a particular way for them to have a nice, clean order).

Hope you're doing good and able to work on the mod, I would love to see some more progress on this.

Cool to see someone else giving the UCD idea a shot. Is there a specific way you've decided to implement it? I.e. totally random, specified lists per week like GT4, etc?
