Due March 23rd......

Soon as it arrives, I'll do an entry thread for the Dega April 10th race.

I haven't played version 3 yet. Why are they updating so quickly? I can't keep up.

Mostly bug fixes.

I think they're adding or editing some skins too.

From the VHR site, it looks like v4 should be out some time tonight... or not. It just changed to the 25th.

It's uploading to the server. Should be today.

I wonder if this is "another" final update. Would sure like to see the version finalized. Haven't even tried 2011 yet, I recall some grumbling about this and that on the initial release but haven't followed it closely since. My coach says I'm ready though.

The first release almost felt like a step backwards, thankfully all the issues were corrected in version 3 which was pretty good. Hopefully this update doesn't break anything!

BTW: I never get tired of that video, classic.

Here we go again. Posted by Corvette Dave 20 minutes ago:

"Time to move on, I don't need this #%&*$# anymore....too much drama for me....go play something else for free....I am done wasting my time."

Guessing by the remaining text on the site, v4 was posted for a short while before he killed the links.

If he doesn't come back, we may have to live with 2011 v3.

Or just move on to something else. Dude seriously needs to grow up. He sounds like a 3rd grader.

Open to mod suggestions. Fire away.

I'm going to evaluate the most recent version of TPSCC. The guys over at The Pits used to be a real go-to back during the Papy NASCAR days. Not sure how their mod runs.

Okay, I found it posted on ONE place on the web. They must have grabbed it to mirror before Corvette Dave yanked the files.

Might want to go get this soon. Who knows how long it'll be there.

Pretty disappointed with a few of the mods I tried tonight.

Sticking with VHR for stockcar stuff might be the best option. TBH the only other stockcar mod I enjoyed was the street stock mod, which would bring a little bit of classic saturday night short track racin' if we ran it.

Didn't get chance to try V4 but i didn't have any problems with V3. If we want to stick with that I prob still have the installer.

That link still works and I'll save it and place a mirror if needed.

What about the v4 server? Did we capture that before he pulled it all down?

d/l'ing now. Sad situation.

Another update:
5.0 Update - After taking in every comment and questions regarding the mod's future, and did a allot of thinking and listening to Johnny Cash....that's right, Johnny Cash. I am not giving up the mod.....this mod is my vision and life long hobby and I am going to continue for all of the VHR fans out there. The main problem with 4.0 is the rear drafting numbers are too strong which is causing the cars to become way too loose....this will address in 5.0. I will not going to give a time table on the release of the update....but I am going to work my ass off to get it out to the leagues in time for your next race.

I also tried out a really nice sprint car mod last night - but for some reason the engine overheats after 6-7 laps and dies. Very few setup options allowed, I went in and lowered the gear ratio and the tape % as much as I could with no success.

If not for that, I think racing those would be a blast.

Won't need it.

You know, I getting sick of the little drama. Sometimes I think it's him bringing in on himself. With that said, I'm glad he's back for now.

That does it - I QUIT!
I'm back.
That does it - I QUIT!
I'm back.

VHR 2011 v5 is next. DO NOT PROVOKE THE MOD MAKER.
Thank you, Johnny Cash!?

For those keeping score...."Update: 5.0 Patch is now completed....it will be up for download very soon, the full installer will be updated to the 5.0 version today."

I might wait for version 6 which will no doubt be here before the weekend

It's too bad that VHR is the best option for NASCAR style racing in rFactor right now. The guy is really unstable.

As of this post, version 5 full client and version 5 server patch is available.

We'll see what the morning brings.

Just grabbed the v5 server file.

<sarcasm> Okay, ready for v6.... </sarcasm>

No...That only works if you waste your time downloading the ENTIRE EFFING THING yet one more time. Then you will be guaranteed that within 72 hours version 6 will be released. As a complete download of over 1G...

Aaaaaand we are still waiting for the patch to be released so we don't have to D/L the whole thing again. Maybe he quit again?

Soon as I setup the SimHQ server for the Dega race...

Yup...

• 04/14/11 - Players that have 5.0 can simply install the 6.0 upgrade patch. Full installer is now updated for new people and racers that had the previous 2011 versions. VHR 6.0 Edition promises to bring Sim racing experience to a whole new level with fully updated tracks, updated paint schemes, better sounds and even better fine tuned physic's. With more limitations on engines, transmissions, brake and tire wear plays into your racing strategy and saving your equipment will be the key to victory. 6.0 is the last update for 2011 and the will be the base for 2012.

Thanks for the skulls up. Another final VHR mod edition, before quitting forever.

I love the dedication to improving the product, but keeping up with updates that come so frequently has become almost impossible for me. How about a new update every 4-6 months? That would a pace I could keep up with.
