NR2003 still alive... so what should I do

[JetlinerX]

Hey all!

So I am new to the forum and I guess fairly new to NASCAR (This is the first season I have followed). I am really enjoying it, and have been on iRacing since the end of last NASCAR season. I have recently found the wonderful world of NR2003.

So here is my questions.

I have the CUP 2012 mod (SS and ST) and first off, what is the difference between ST and SS, and what season should I run to represent the real sprint cup cars? I also have all the Revamped Reloaded tracks, along with some other tracks that were made by users here. Like the PHX 2011 that I am currently under caution on.

My biggest question is, what are the things I need to make the most fun, and realistic season (OFFLINE) with NR2003. DISCLAIMER - Please no :google_it_noob: stuff........

Finally, AI-
I use an Auto AI editor, but I can never find that spot that is right for me. Either I am winning by a margin, or I am losing by one. I simply skipped the Daytona 500 in my season because I just couldn't get it right, and it frustrates me that I lost all the points from that race.

OH YEAH- Last thing, how do I change the cars to the right paint for the race? I started the Daytona 500 with the 99's Fastenal paint, which is correct, but now I am on PHX, and I need the Subway paint, but IDK how to change it! D:

The AI settings I usually use are anywhere from 95-100 depending on the track or the mood I'm in so I'd say play around with those yourself. To change the paint scheme on a car you will have to download the scheme you want from a website such as this one, then you will have to take that scheme and make a new car with it, and turn it on and off when you don't want that car ran, just as long as you don't run both cars of the same driver it should be fine.

Are the only available paints for the DMR Cup12 mod the ones on their site?

 

[Golden44]

ss is superspeedway, st is short track.

 

[Golden44]

nnracing has alot of cars too,

 

[Golden44]

there are many cars here for the br2012 mod, that set is always being updated, you might want to try that also.

 

[JetlinerX]

Is there a way to use SS and ST together? I dont want to run ST on Dega if it's meant for Martinsville, and I dont want to run SS at Martainsville if it's meant for Dega!

Also, I've been having an insane problem, maybe you can all can help.

I have this really odd glitch that causes textures to stretch across the whole track. They flash in and out, and bring the frame rate to about 2. They block my whole view, so I cant see anything, and it looks like a really bad mesh error. Anyone seen this before?

Using revamped tracks, and DMR's Cup12 mod.

I dont think you can do a season and mix the sets for each track, also the mod your using takes alot to run without slowing your grafics down, try br 2012 mod and check what you have on in your grafics in the game, some things like reflections eat alot of memory, try lowering some things, and see what happens. but the mod your using is a high grafics eating mod, i can run the cars but it takes more then the br mod on my comp.

I dont think my computer's perfomance actually struggles with the mod, I think it's something I probably didnt do right when installing, or maybe I need to set something specific. My specs are:

- Windows 7 64BIT
- Ivy Bridge i7 3770K @ 3.54 (not overclocked...... yet)
- Corsair 16GB DDR3 RAM
- Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H
- Barracudda 2TB HDD
- Corsair Enthusiast Series 650 watt
- GTX 570 HD SLI Super Clocked
- Liquid Cooled CHCW60
- OCZ 120GB SSD (SATAIII)

So I dont think it's that...

Have you tried resetting your 3d graphics in game, I usually do it every once in a while to avoid glitches.

 

[JetlinerX]

Just did that, no solution. I am just gona try out this BR2012 one...

 

[JetlinerX]

The BR2012 mod works perfectly. Just finished up the PHX race, got the pole, and finished in it. Freaking rough race, these new AI are programed great! Anyway, anyone offer any suggestions to the other parts of my OP?

 

[Harry Nurpplez]

What else do you need help with?

 

[JetlinerX]

Oh, I just want to know what are some other things I can get for NR2003 to improve the realism and fun. As of right now, I have BR2012 Cup mod, 2011 (looking for 2012) Nationwide Mod from here, and the 2009 (looking for 2012 or close) Truck mod.

So I am really LOOKING for an up to date Nationwide mod, and Truck mod. And I am also open to suggestions for other mods that will improve the game such as graphics, physics, models, addons, replacement packs etc. Just everyones opinion on what to add to my game.

NWS mod from here is up to date its just decal changes for 2012. CTS09 is the most current mod for the trucks though the next version is still being worked on. If you are into openwheel racing there are several mods for that. Same goes for short track dirt and asphalt racing aswell. It all depends on what you are into. A good chunk of the Cup, Nationwide/Busch and trucks seasons are covered for one mod or another. NR2K3tracks.com has links to most of the mods, carsets and sites that have single car downloads like here. Many links are dead or outdated though.

As for visual stuff i'd say anything by RogueToad is a must. The shared folder update from Revamped is required for many tracks. There are some things in the download section here too like high res skys and tires. RaceCar Central has the best high quality tires for the BR12 and NWS11 mods. There are a ton of rim/tire/dash textures for the default cup series. There are many menu and fkey textures out there aswell. The pwf damge and tire mod for default cup is something that I would recommend.

Here are some links to get to most of that you would be looking for.
