Thanks to the advancements in safety on these cars including shock absorbers

Wow, I had no idea shock absorbers were a safety advancement in the context of protecting the driver. Consider my expressed shock at this information absorbed...

Well front and rear bumpers are known to have them, I probably should've pointed that out specifically but you get the idea. Anything to make these cars sound safer with the chaotic spring Wilkesboro races I've had.

Recently downloaded the SK modified mod and wanted to test it out at Iowa...

Nice.

This was a bad day to be Quin Houff and/or Joey Logano. (feat. Kevin Harvick and Alex Bowman)

Side note: Dover and Logano barrel rolls, name a more iconic duo.

Kyle Petty finishing in style.

One of the cut features from the ICR mod, instead of having it just lost in the ether never to be seen: fire effects during wrecks

Aw man, this would have been pretty neat to see. I'm assuming it just lagged too much?

No performance issues. It just didn't look good to the quality bar I wanted. There was no way to animate the flames so they are static on the debris pieces which looked tacky as the debris only last for a few seconds so the fire would pop in and out constantly, didn't look like fire at that point:

I actually had working animation code (no errors when compiling) but unfortunately make_a_pieces.3do does not have a way to have animations play so its as far as I could go. This fire effect is just one of the many failed trial and error tests I did with all sorts of things on the mod. I don't know what other untapped potential there is to try new things but I'll always keep seeing how I can do things different.

That makes sense. The video really shows why it wouldn’t have worked, I definitely see it now. It’s so interesting to see what people can make this 17 year old game do.

I’d love to mess with mod making one day.. sounds like a huge project lol..

Was it N4 or N2k2 that had basic fire like GPL? IIRC Papyrus removed it.

Thinking about it, the fire sound played (then stopped/was extinguished) but no flame mips showed. Papy thought best not to have fire again in a Sim.

Yeah looks good in still images but seeing it in motion...good call on leaving it out. Would just look too weird.

Hope this counts:

Among my latest uploads to youtube: The big one in my league's Corvega All-Star Race, with yours truly avoiding it with a nice slide through the grass.

How about a win with 2 flat tires and car in this condition?
Track: Airbase, with high edited track.ini that tires will wear faster.
Yes, I utilized 80% AI for this race because I was testing things.
