Please remove any other mods to find what’s crashing, other skin and car mods can share files which can make this happen, track mods should be fine.
Thanks

It keeps crashing any tips?

I will look into making them appear in garage with blank livery, perhaps then the racing livery will be always selectable

Yes it’s a really strange bug, all the cars begin with the racing livery but the racing livery isn’t there to choose, so you can leave the livery and change the colours of it, just don’t change livery, it’s only when you change livery that you can’t get it back.
Just unsubscribe and resubscribe to restore the default racing livery again.
Thanks I’m glad you like it, it’s my personal favourite to use.

Only issue I have: if you try to change the color, theres a good chance the livery will disappear and theres no way to get it back. Overall though, amazing work!!!!!

To hear shit like that is the very reason I do it:D and wanting the game to be like this for myself too haha
Thanks means a lot

OH MY GOD THANK YOU!! Fucking love you man!

RACEFEST IS BACK!

@Frisker
Your prayers my have been answered.
Racefest is being rebuilt
I’ve already built and added 80% of the cars in game into custom Ai sets with race Ai, also every car will be painted by me and have different parts.

I see. That would indeed be a lot of work. No problem then.

Unfortunately not, to have clean racing Ai each car has to made to include the race Ai file, then that car needs to be assigned to an Ai set, it would require every car file being copied (they are now hidden) and edited and then new AI sets made to only include the modded cars.
So it’s possible but it’s a lot of work.
Before I just gave every car in game the race Ai file and it worked with all cars on the standard Ai sets “Racefest mod” But now they have to be treated as whole new cars and not edits to the existing cars.
Over time I will be making more and eventually I can see something like what your looking for being made.
Thanks

Can you make this mod with your Realistic AI Sets? I mean the clean AI part.

It shouldn’t crash anyway by selecting standard version, I have yet to check, but yes they are not needed, the mod comes with 8 ready to go pro stocks, they have equal parts and power to the Ai, just paint the livery if you wish. Just use them.
Thanks

Ok, I didn't change the order the cars are in and the stock cars are next to the originals to the right of them. I clicked on the original just to see but for no reason and is when I got the error. Am I not suppose to select the original cars when using this mod?

Ok thanks I’ll have a look, I have all the stock cars set as favourites so they are all at the front of my garage in a line, so no chance of accidentally clicking a normal car.

I have the Roadcutter Stock 1 selected and I select the regular Roadcutter, I get a popup error messge and the game crashes. Here's the screenshot of the error message. And yes, I disabled other mods to be sure it was from this mod.

Cool mod tho and hope you get it fixed. Thanks.

I have no youtube channel anymore so get recording your great moments or reviewing this mod and I’ll put it into the mod art as a headline and add your name into description.
Thanks

Also added the extra 52 AI drivers made for the single make sets to the "all U.S pro stocks" AI set for even more differences with AI driver spawning in each race.

Updated
All cars now have 23 different AI drivers each and all car models now have their own full single make AI sets.
Thanks

Updated
Created single make AI sets for the starbeast and roadcutter pro stocks
Each of them now have 23 individual drivers/cars each and a selectable AI set

Gatecrasher and Rocket single make AI sets will follow tomorrow.
Thanks

Updated
Created custom cockpit views which make the window mesh/bars visible and hide the static drivers hands.
Let me know if you find the fine mesh of the starbeast 1 and gatecrasher 1 too difficult to see properly and i'll change the mesh to bars instead, i find it quite realistic.
Thanks

I think I’ll make another 13 different Ai drivers per car, so we can have single make pro stockers too.

Updated description and included link to "the very track pack"
Lots more short ovals there that work great with this mod

Minor update
New loading screen and mod art added
I am thinking of creating cockpit cameras next to actually show the window mesh/bars, so that the player has to look through them like in real life.
Thanks

Also if anyone wants to make a youtube video showing this mod or British bangers, I’ll put it in description, my YouTube channel has been permanently banned! I made short films and let’s just say some may have been a bit too impactful lol

Need to capture a few more perfect shots first, I’m so fussy with photos lol

Thanks man glad you approve, there are some short ovals in the very track back that work so well with these cars, I’ll be updating the mod art including the loading screen later, I’ll also throw a link to the track mod into description with a list of the tracks that suit the mod well

Nice update Vin. I likey likey.

New artwork to come featuring the rocket pro stock and removed bonnet exhausts
Thanks

if anyone doesn't know, if you press the left joystck button on an xbox pad at the start of a race the camera leaves the car, you can then press Y on your pad to place your car somewhere off track and then fly around in free cam to watch the AI action live as it happens, its how i've always done my testing and how I know what is effective or not.

For fun you can then press X on your pad to launch your car from the free camera, the longer you hold X the faster the cars shoots out! ;)
Enjoy

Updated
Increased gap between the 2 power levels for more AI overtaking action, but all AI now use a locked transmission, so they tend to kick the back end out more, which works very well as the more powerful cars are more prone to spin occasionally, making even better racing action and equality across the grid
Also refined engine powers with 2 engines per car now so that the performance levels are exact, before the cars shared engines so it was the separate engine parts making the power changes, now it's an exact 200 and 166 for all car models.

Neat

Updated
player can now choose from stock version 1 and 2 of the cars used, each with slight performance and part differences.
Manged to find a chrome wheel for roadcutter stock 2

Yeah the 4 pipes directly behind the front wheels are what you see on hot rods and dragsters. I have seen those kind on dirt modifieds and sprint cars occasionally. And in some cases, vintage dirt late models. I think I also saw them on hill climb cars.

I'll play with your update tonight or maybe tomorrow. I got completely rained on and soaked at work today. Luckily tomorrow is Friday, so I just wear jeans.

Updated

Swapped out hood exhausts on all AI for realism with pro stock racing.

Each AI car type now has two versions of the following.
Rollcages, window bars, engine sounds and engine power.
It really adds more detail and individuality to the cars and grid.

The slight engine power differences makes for more overtakes during race, all cars have a slightly faster setup and a slightly slower setup so it still remains fair and equal.

The 2 engine sounds per car type also adds more realism with cars that are the same model having different sounding racing engines to eachother, they really sound great flying by as i've only used the best V8 sounds on the game.

Hope you all enjoy the changes.

What I’ve done is create 2 car files and 10 driver files for each car, so each car model can have 2 sets of parts, 5 drivers using one and 5 drivers using the other, as i wanted some with chrome rimes and some with black, so I can make them use any parts, I’ll put half with side exits and half with rear exits.

Brilliant thanks, I only ask because some cars don’t have the simple side exit, they have time long chrome pipes instead which don’t look right, later I’ll make all cars either have simple side pipe or rear exit exhausts, the 4 pipes coming from behind the front wheel look cool though I think?

No the long chromers are not what we use. We have ported exhaust coming out from where the Right Rear passenger door would be. And for the same kind of racing in the UK, we use wider pipes out the back.

Only time I've ever seen hood/bonnet pipes were in derbies, tractor pulls, stunt cars and trucks, stuff like that. But never for racing. With the exception of old style Grand Prix cars. But that is behind the driver, not in his field of view.

BTW, my racing experience comes from my family. Most of mine was in the 1990's.

Hi mate
Thanks I’m glad you like it, Waw that’s cool I envy you!
Yeh I was thinking that, it was just to make it look more detailed with cars using different parts, also I thought to cater for racing and Derby’s with one car set, I’ll have a look later and perhaps change them to side pipes, I don’t think the long chrome side pipes are realistic either though are they?
Appreciate the knowledge input

Hey Vin like the mod so far. They race pretty well. Very impressed.

This one is close to my heart, as I actually raced Pro Stocks and Modifieds in the Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin area. So if you do not mind my input, one thing that Pro Stockers do not use, is those silly exhaust pipes sticking out of the bonnets. The only time you ever see that is for derbies or other fun events outside of actual racing. Any way to get the AI drivers to not use those?

its working for me now vin and great mod as always

Updated
Added the mustang (rocket) along with 10 custom AI drivers using varied stocker parts, individually painted and power matched just like the current mod cars.

Assigned 4 better v8 sounds, 1 for each car so that they all give a different raw!!

Ah, I see. That sucks.

Hi
It’s just the US pro stock Ai that race, there is no way of making a generic racing Ai to work with all of the base game Ai sets like my racefest mod used to do, unless you rebuild every car and Ai driver in the whole game and remake all of the Ai sets to include all of the rebuilt cars, the US pro stock Ai has only my custom made individual Ai drivers in it.
It’s the way the file structures work now.
Thanks

To clarify- To get the AI to race cleanly, do I have to set the AI type to U.S. Pro Stock, or does merely having this mod activated accomplish that?

The mustang (rocket) will soon be joining the others.

Mod description and artwork done.

Ok there in nothing wrong my end, i've just updated but it was only cleaning up the files, please try the mod with no other mods active,
let me know
thanks

Ok thanks, as soon as I’m home I’ll check it out, I published in a rush last night but it was working my end, apologies.

so trying to test it out and it keeps throughing an error for a missing part on the cars
