NTT Indycar Series CSM MOD 2019 - Released 19/10/2019
Posted by rracunis
There are some Indycar MODs made in the past , I am a bit worried in giving the credits to the authors wrongly as it is not exactly well clear who were the authors of them , anyway I will try . In 2002 , Diego Noriega (Oggo) and Adriano Bariggi (Adry77) released the CART 2002 MOD . The same authors released the Champcar 2003 MOD . In 2006 , the RSP group in cooperation with IDT group released the ChampCar 06/05 for GP4 . Finally in 2008 , Meteoro405 released the Indycar 2008 MOD . I do not know if other MODs were released , if so let me know , I can edit this post at anytime .
Three Indycar MODs were released by myself , the 2016 to 2018 seasons MODs , which were conversions from the great Rfactor MODs made by Vitor "Shadow" Souza in collaboration with Stex1973 and PA Popov . Their MOD was based on the IndyCar 2009 mod for Rfactor made by Mike Peters with many modifications . Thank you to them for having given me the permissions to convert those MODs .
This project , the NTT Indycar 2019 CSM MOD , is a totally new one and is based on the NTT Indycar Rfactor MOD presented by the Remy Group and Apex Modding . Their original RFactor MOD is very well done and was a challenge to do something nice for the GP4 . Thank you so much to them for the permission to convert their original amazing MOD .
There are more than 11 teams and more drivers than 22 in the Official 2019 Indycar Season and the GP4 is limited to only 11 teams and 22 drivers in the grid only .
The original RFactor MOD made by the Remy Group and Apex Modding is quite detailed , having many different specifications according to the tracks of the season ( Road courses , Oval circuits and Speedway Oval circuits ) . Some drivers switched from one team to other in the middle of the season , sometimes changing even to teams with different engines , racing in the first part of the season in a team powered by Honda and in the remaining season in a team powered by Chevrolet . For all these reasons , I had to make changes and had to “forget” some drivers and had to use Helio Castroneves in all the races of the season . I apologize for that , I needed to do that , otherwise would be impossible to create the performance's files and even the MOD’s configuration . You should find other weird things and errors , all related to the same reasons .
The original authors made Rfactor MOD which has more than hundred different skins and was a bit hard to convert all the skins used without mistakes . Therefore , if you find any problem with the textures and shapes let me know . Be aware that only the cars and helmets' textures and the cars shapes were update along with the teamart and visors , the rest of the MOD has the same stuff of the others released previously .
Finally , the MOD is huge ( about10 GB ) , specially the cars folder and I had to reduce this folder by half to make the MOD playable and , obviously , the quality of the textures reduced a bit but there was no other way . Some of you may find the cars too bright and this happens because of the alpha channels made by the original authors , I prefered to keep the textures original to respect the author’s work .
The MOD is not perfect for sure but was the best I could do . Improvements can be done , any help from the community would be most welcome . The MOD does not have many kilometers in testing and that's why some bugs are expected.
The MOD can be modify at anytime but do not forget to give the credits to all the authors who contributed in any way to its construction . Also do not forget to ask permission for those who do not agree with the policy of sharing works in the GP4.
Concluding , I want to nominate some guys who helped me a lot and taught me a lot of things , improving my skills through their huge skills and knowledge : Meteoro , AUS_Doug , Phantaman , Turbolover , Kedy89 . Besides , I have to mention Monsieur Arnaud (EXCALIBUR) and Monsieur Bernard (GEZERE) who taught me how to deal with Zmodeler and will be both my mentors forever .

Looking forward to this one
I have had the bug as you can see in the image below and tried already everything to sort it out , there is a difference on the textures between the nose and the rest of the car's body . I had to reduce the numbers of faces using Polygon Cruncher but , different than other times , I reduce all big parts separately before assembly them , didn't reduce the faces of all the car togheter . Does anyone know why this might be happening?
it's merged polygons that weren't previously merged - or were smoothed by having more polygons. You need to detach the inner polygons from the inside of the nose and then recalculate the normals. It looks like you have this issue on other parts of the car too.

Thank you so much Kev for your reply , you're more than a master , I don't have enough skills to reach near of your level , impossible to me .
The original size of the car has 170k faces and I had to drop it down to 65k only . Moreover , there are 3 different car's objects ( road , oval and semi oval ) and tons of teams and textures , all has to be optimized to be used with GP4 . I've managed to improve the issue with of the nose as you can see below , the problems on the other parts of the car at least are not so evident .

good job, 65k of faces sounds enough and the shape still looks great. I would offer to help with the normals issue, but I can't guarantee when I'll have time
First screenshots ingame . Still needs a lot of work
Please someone can help me to modify the driver's object , bending the object on the left making it as the object on the right of the image below . If so I send the object to you
Thanks in advance
Thanks in advance
Awesome!!
