-NEW TIRES MODEL: entirely rewritten models for all the cars with three separate "slip curves".

-NEW CHASSIS MODEL: all data from the chassis of all the cars now are correct.

-NEW COCKPIT CAM: now it's like a real "onboard camera".

-NEW DAMAGE MODE: all kind of damage is now avaible and it's now more effective(same as 1.0)
Now invulnerability is also avaible in pro mode.

Note: I will not work anymore to develop this mod: I will correct the mod only if you find any major bugs, like flying cars, IA mad or things like that, or of you find that the files are different from the description.

The vinyl alphabet

Letters on cars now available. Write your name etc. This option was already in the engine but cut out (probably to avoid language abuse). It's quiet daunting trying to line, scale and place the letters due to the simplified interface, but the end result is rewarding! You'll find this option in 'Vinyls'. AFAIK it doesn't override anything, just adds (unique defines in .xml).

This is for the unpacked (-loose) version only.

!DO NOT FORGET!
Make a backup of your 'assets.xml' in the Paintshop folder before replacing it.

Need for Speed Shift – First Mods Coming In

With the initial buzz about the release of Need for Speed Shift slowly easing off, clever PC modders have started looking for ways to further improve Slightly Mad Studio’s newest title.

Basis for all modding is a tool named QuickBMS that allows packing and unpacking of Shift’s files. More info on the tool and support can be found in the XeNTaX forums.

One of the first guys to take advantage of the new possibilities is Tobias Kluge who has released two Need for Speed Shift mods. The first one reduces or completely removes the depth of field blur at high speeds as you can see on the comparison shots below. The second reduces the AI aggression to 55%, resulting in much cleaner racing. Optionally, the mod also reduces the grip level for those who feel that the cars in Shift are too grippy.

Those of you who are still struggling with the right settings for their wheels might want to try Techade’s FFB profile. The guys knows what he’s doing, being the author of the RealFeel plugin for rFactor. And if you have other issues with Shift, EA has posted a Q&A that provides solutions to the most common problems.

Need for Speed Shift – Track Objects Removal Mod

Tobias Kluge has released a new mod for Need for Speed Shift, getting rid of the fictional trackside objects that spoiled Shift’s tracks for many sim racers.

The mod removes fictional billboards, balloons, circus tents, graffitis and everything else that gave the tracks a rather arcadish look, check out the screens below to get an idea how the cleaned circuits will look.

Important: The mod requires the unpacking of the game’s files which will take around 30 minutes to complete. The mod comes with a batch-file that will take care of the unpacking, more info on this issue can be found at the download location.

雖然不少人對Shift的不真實而感到失望,但似乎大家放棄它,反而更加努力提高它的擬真性.
