- Feels to me like the slick tyres overall have a little too much grip in the dry. I've seen people do 43's already, and I can easily see how that's possible, but isn't that a couple of seconds faster than what's ran in real life?
- Can I turn off the view movement when driving? Especially the horizontal movement, I'm finding fairly annoying at the moment.

As a reference, in real life KF1 are around 43.0, KF3 44.5 and KZ1 42.0. A direct comparison with simulator is difficult, though.

What exactly is annoying about head movement? Left-right movement or forward - backward?

Suggestions and wishlist / Re: the shifter kart

« on: December 06, 2010, 08:24:25 AM »

Perhaps you guys want to have a second look at it.  I feel like the shifting has a little bit too much lag, more than I ever remember in the thousands of laps I ran in a shifter.  Also, perhaps look at the engine performance, the shift light on the Digitron comes on pretty early.   from what I remember, shifter karts made their pwer when you were maxing the revs, not short shifting.  When I tried to tach it out, and made a set to account for this, i was a couple seconds slower.  just something to think about!

Even if the engine can rev up to 16.700 rpm, the max power is at around 14.000 rpm.

If possible updating graphics card drivers may fix the problem.

No. The engine is proprietary and scratch-made.

Hello Sot, welcome to the forum. You are the first to write in it 

Kart Racing Pro isn't ready yet, so no download link.
But it shouldn't take long, as 95% of the work is already done.

Paints / Paint creation tutorial

« on: August 21, 2010, 10:06:32 PM »

Paints are used to change liveries of kart and driver.

To add an helmet paint:
1) Download the templates: http://www.kartracing-pro.com/?page=downloads
2) Create a texture named helmet.tga or helmet.bmp
3) download PaintEd: http://www.kartracing-pro.com/?page=downloads
4) create the directory structure driver/helmets/sk6/paints
5) Using PaintEd, convert the texture to a paint, saving it in the previously created "paints" folder.

To change helmet's visor:
1) Create two textures, named visor.tga and visor#2.tga ( for rain )
2) Move them to the same folder of helmet's texture
3) Using PaintEd, convert the textures to a paint.


Inside Kart Racing Pro, when in "viewer" mode ( click on the dot in the bottom-right corner of main menu ), it is possible to reload a paint from disk pressing the 'r' key.

Translations / User Interface Translation Guide

« on: August 21, 2010, 09:02:09 PM »

1) Extract english.str from ui.pkz ( PKZ files are renamed ZIP files ) to a temporary directory.

2) Rename english.str to the name of the new language.
For example Francais.str or Deutsch.str

3) Translate strings

STR is a text file containing all strings used in the sim, using the following format:
ID
String
ID
String
ID
String
...

"TT_" IDs are used for tooltips
"GG_" IDs are used for the inline guide

4) Create a new directory named UI in Kart Racing Pro installation directory
For example: "c:\Program Files\Kart Racing Pro\ui\"

5) Move the new STR file to UI directory

6) Start Kart Racing Pro and select the new language ( Start -> Profiles -> Language ) to check that everything is correct.

7) Please report any problem like:
- Not enough space in user interface for a translated string
- A single ID used in multiple places while different translations would be needed
