Couple of weeks ago I was asking you guys what should I do next and the Motorarena Oschersleben won the poll. At that moment, I was fully committed to work on this track. I planned to continue with ACCAkut's version, finish it and release it as soon as possible. So I gathered all the data from ACCAkut, he was very helpful and gave me almost his...

To be honest, I did not expect that so many people ...

Hi guys, this is just a quick update of the sounds for Elantra, my good friend Fabricio (CorsaMode) was so nice and he reviewed the original sounds and did some small tweaks here and there. Now they should be more consistent with Cupra/Audi sounds.
Changelog:
As I already mentioned somewhere, I bought a hi-fi audio recorder couple of months ago and when I was at the track with my friends from Expres Auto Racing team, I mounted the device to the car and recorded the whole session. Then the file was lying in the device for almost half a year, until I was able to convince my sound modder Fabricio (Corsa...

This is just a small update to replace old sounds with new one by CorsaMode. The audio bank is the same like the Cupra TCR v. 1.2 because both cars are very similar and share the same engine.
Next season i will try to record the sounds from Audi as well, maybe we will find something where the sounds are different. For now we will stick wi...

Recently when I released the 1.4 update of the Autodrom Most, I was contacted by some people who told me that there were additional changes made on the real track which are missing in my latest version, so I did some more research, watched some onboards and photos and hopefully prepared so called "final version" of the 2024 update of this track....

When I released Elantra, people were obviously asking about next TCR car. I said that I didn't plan doing more, unless some good oportunity appears. And it did. I discovered very good quality 3D model, released for free under creative commons license. Finaly I was able to use my already finished physics for this car, which was used for ComToYou ...

Even though nobody reported any issues with the preview version released here couple of weeks ago, I found pretty serious issues in the track, a lot of grid possitions were messed up, some important dummies were renamed or deleted and mixed between layouts :D The project is getting rather big, it is quite difficult to keep track of it all. Lucki...

Hi all, while working on Slovakia Ring update, I had a request to tweak some stuff in one of my older tracks, which I made like 5 years ago. And since I deleted all source files, I had to struggle a little to get it done :D
The tweaks are just minor, nothing groundbreaking, just some fixes and tweaks to some stuff which was not working ver...

Hi all. Last couple of months, when I was talking about the announced Cupra TCR update, I sometimes mentioned another TCR car which will join the roster. I expected that I will be overwhelmed by the questions which car will it be, but almost nobody asked :D Probably people just missed that part :D Like when I released the Cupra TCR, there were a...

I've heard a lot of complaints about the z-fighting issues at this track, so I promised I will look on it. The result of my investigation was that a lot of z-fighting was introduced by latest CSP updates so I was not realy sure what to do to fully fix the issue, but at least I tried to prevent it by modifying some meshes and distances between t...

Recently I received some reports that my Slovakia Ring track does not work with vanilla AC, so I did some investigation, found the issue and fixed it.
To update the track, just download the zip file and unpack it to AC root directory and overwrite all files.

While working on the TCR cars for LFM season 15, I was playing with this small shopping bag as well. In the end, it does not look as bad as I expected :)
For now, the modeling is almost done, currently I am missing LODs and skins. Microsoft screwed the AC modders by canceling their Symplygon free licence, so I will need to do LODs manua...

OK, guys, forget the Cupra Leon VZ TCR for now. I have to admit, I was to fast with my Cupra VZ plans. I wanted to bring the most actual Leon model to 2024 AC TCR roster but when I saw first pictures and videos of this "upgrade", I was not very happy. I knew the car will get new bodykit, but I thought the changes will be small, I expected some t...

2 years ago I was asked to organize an Octavia Cup autumn season in our local community. At that time, Custom Shaders patch and extended physics was "hot stuff" in the AC scene, so I wanted to use all possible features which were available at that time. But to get advantage of the stuff like live weather and wet racing, I decided to modify at th...

This is the list of the TMM's experimental and fun mods. These mods were done mostly to test some new AC features or to use them for our local championship and to be deleted or forgotten. Even though they were not published to sites like Racedepartment for various reasons, people found them very interesting and there is still demand for them.
