Too soon? Well, you spot them and I try to fix them.

Many fixes and improvements, thank you for your feedback.

One of them, the rear lights are much better now. The texturing and UV mapping seemed on point, but once I built the Refracting Lights code, hmmm. So I have spent some time getting them just right. 🙂

Happy Sunday!

One of my good friends owns one of these unique front-engined Porsches in black, so I worked on this for him remembering the good times, before my life got a painful dose of reality. I miss those simple times.🙂

The Porsche 944 Turbo S is often overlooked as one of the great sports cars of its day, and that's a shame. Porsche only built around 1000 examples, and it remains a simply fantastic car to drive. In t...

Sunday evening coastal adventure. Errr, I mean testing, testing! 🤪 Just look at it, I could only dream years ago I could drive a Porsche virtual sports car made exactly the way I want it and then take it out for a cruise on a pacific coast highway edited exactly the way I want it, at the exact time of day I want and with the exact weather I want. In VR on a sim rig. How far we've come from the first ever Gran Turismo, when I fell in love with driving games / simulators.

Big thanks to F40LM Lover for helping me with the animations and for showing me how and giving me the confidence I needed to do it too. Bless you man! This animation is mine.

But, wait 'till you see all the other fantastic animations he's done! 👏

So much progress on this update. More final 3d work and all CSP code is done. 🙂

What's left:
Make new Driver animation and Gear Change Animation.
Finish all the skins / colours and optimise them.
Build and test Slick and Street tyres to go with the current Semi_Slick ones, which have already been improved.
Build High Quality VAO.

Targeting a release next weekend. However, the remaining recent mods have also had the promised update and of course there will be a ver...

It looks this good because I love doing this and I put a lot of effort in it. Talent is nothing without hard work. I'm always learning and persevering. If I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it as good as I can. Only way.

Thank you all for your support and your feedback and help. Thank you, my dear Patrons for sticking with me and having faith in me. 🙏

For my friend F40LM Lover. 🤝

Improved every Texture.
Improved every Shader.
Added Optimised version.
Minor CSP materials corrections and additions.
Added Brake FX and exhaust shake.
Corrected and updated ambient shadow.

I still want to help with the 3d and the full CSP code. But I'm hoping to help him get the update finished and ready.

Black Beauty. 😍

I revised and improved 3d further, tweaked materials, optimised textures and also improved shaders. All analogue gauges now work correctly, lighting all done and all the dash warnings too. Digital clock added. CM lights also done. Getting there. 🙂

This is what the exhaust glow feature I improved looks like, not realistic I know, but kinda cool, or hot! 😉

Quick fix!

Ok so the problem, I was working on v1.79 and Sol and a Comfy filter I used to like, with brightness up, and I forgot to go back to default filter while setting up some shaders. Sooo...I messed up. 😤 But! I now have Pure and Pure Candy installed and it's BEAutiful!

I think I have fixed the brightness issues and added a few more CSP/PBR shaders while testing. Big thanks to Christian Hoffman and Warren T Bennett for testing all the different options and persevering w...

Porsche weekend! 😁

I improved more of the interior 3d, cleaned up some double-sided objects too, improved several shaders, 6 textures and overall optimisations to the number of textures, and their size.

Again, as with the Porsche 911 993 RWB (1997), I have improved the CSP/PBR shaders to make them look more realistic. I tweaked the exhaust glow effect. I also added the custom paint options with this too and built an improved fidelity VAO.

Surprise! I have updated a number of the 3d objects and materials, added a roof wing, steering wheels details, and some other cool little touches. I'll let you guys find them. 😉

What else? Several fixes in data.acd, following feedback from sim-racers. Custom paint options with relevant naming to make it easier for people to make their custom colour, added a few more things that can be customised too. I rebuild all the CSP/PBR sha...

All last 5 mods have been updated and the Porsche 944 Turbo S (1988) is almost finished. It's going to be a busy few weeks. 😉

Dan Bucsa

Porsche 911 993 RWB (1997) WIP

I've put a lot of work into this too, added some new details, improved many 3d objects, UV maps, textures and material shaders, fixed some errors and made all skins a little more special. Several optimisations in these areas.

I also improved many CSP effects and most of the CSP material shaders.

I have added the custom paint feature, so it's easy to know what can be painted for people that want to generate their own custom skins. I added many more parts that can be painted too.<...

I've been busy with personal matters and my health, but always finding time for my favourite hobby. 🙂

All 3d is done. Numerous fixes, split all meshes needed, improved UV mapping, corrected hierarchy, renamed all objects, added and scratch made several parts, optimised, improved smoothing groups, prepared for data and CSP coding.

Next, the textures and shaders with receive a meticulous overhaul, and I'll be able to show off some teaser photos. 🤞

Just some nice touches. They add to the ORS experience. All will be included in the next updates of my mods.

"Good things come to those who wait"

I'm a big fan of Audi's Quattro permanent four-wheel drive system. I'm a big fan of the challenger, the underdog, the bold and the relentless.

With this racing car Audi took on the big American names at their own game, on their own turf, and had they competed in the long endurance races, they would have won the constructors championship too. This didn't stop their driver, Hans-Joachim Stuc...
