Ahh that may be your issue.

The Mega Zip function is a bit shit... best to download them as individual files (its actually quicker than waiting for Mega to compress them all first)

true, i had the same problem... i deleted the compressed file and download as individual files! problem solved!

thank you Yohji

any chance of making this work with beta12?

Has been my first (and second) bike. I'm on a cb1000r at the moment.

before i bought my first bike, i always thought the hornet would be it!

Came close to owning a Cb1000r (white with black trim) in 2011, but never happened... and now that finances are not an issue, unfortunately where i live the market is not big on naked bikes, so dealership won't import the model!

Concerning the suggestion: it's probably very easy to implement but (personally) I think it doesn't bring anything worth.

I could eventually vote for something like 3 rider types (a Dani, a Marc and a Cal) with their own weight and their own 3d rider model: I don't think it will make any measurable difference physics-wise, but at least we wouldn't see a grid full of physically identical riders. But of course that is a bit trickier (you'd need 3 3d rider models).

the suggestion was simply from a Keeping-it-real point of view, obviously the physics are working great (for me), and i just thought about it because of the MaxHud display option for suspension - i thought what is it taking into account when displaying the "weight" exerted on the suspension!??

.... (or should I say center-of-gravy-wise )...

lol

Max does your nickname mean that you have a honda hornet?

...and back to the suggestion part of this topic, so would it make sense to have an option in the game to choose rider weight and height(with certain limitations to the parameters allowed)?

yes totally agree, but keep in mind that they can also play somewhat of a "mind game" to "over exaggerate" things to gain or eliminate the slightest advantage!

Max my reply is in the Quotes, Stout Johnson you mentioned same points as i did... COG and mass positiong!

i tried to quote back your quotes Max but somehow am not getting it right! excuse my ignorance... noob to forums in general!

Yes i agree it can't be just his weight,  am thinking it's a combination of weight and a couple of things like his height. ...Marquez is a good 10cm taller and 9kg heavier. My thinking is (and i am no expert; but simply out of my riding experience and what i read), the height gives you advantage of better weight distribution over the bike.

Maybe (even if I still think it's marginal at best), but that comes at the price of having to accelerate 9 extra kg every time you twist the throttle.

yes and i think that would be more "felt" accelerating out of a turn.

And i think (from observation) that extra weight and height gives Marquez the "freedom" (for lack of better term) to manhandle the bike - and that's maybe part of why they have different riding styles - Dani being smoother than a surgeon! Lol

Despite what people think, these bikes are very agile. I'm not sure you actually need to manhandle them.

They are indeed, but (again personal observation - no expert opinion) handling that much horse power (250+) is a lot, and one would be fighting against gyroscopic effect, that's where the higher COG and bigger Mass of Marquez allows him to trash around the bike and pick it up on his knees (sometimes elbows) and basically play with it like a toy (literally), and i think this is why they attribute Marquez with an aggressive riding style, while on the other hand Dani has to be smooth, and again (personal observation with some riding experience - no expert opinion) the smoothness comes handing for him to react at a "lesser resistance rate" from gyroscopic effects. plus the rear of the seat (the almost upright section) is used to hold the rider in place while accelerating hard, Dani can't reach it so he has to smooth his acceleration to "literally stay on the bike".
here is where height comes at a disadvantage - keep your self stable on the bike - also down the straights some riders put their butt slightly higher on that seat upright section creating a "wing" on the back end of the bike forcing the rear suspension down for better grip from rear... again Dani can't do that...

...maybe next year when they are back at lusail circuit I'll ask dani what's his opinion about adding 10kg ballast! 😆😆😆😆

I guess a polite "thanks but no thanks" will be the answer.
And I guess if you ask Marc or Vale if they'd like to have some 10kg less on them (like an ultra light suit+helmet+boots) they'd be ready to pay big money for that.

Vale is on a "severe" diet, he's a ghost of the man he was last year. 

Yes i agree it can't be just his weight,  am thinking it's a combination of weight and a couple of things like his height. ...Marquez is a good 10cm taller and 9kg heavier. My thinking is (and i am no expert; but simply out of my riding experience and what i read), the height gives you advantage of better weight distribution over the bike.
These guys fight at the top for 0.1 of a second, so let's say Marquez has the advantage of 1kg/cm of mass to be distributed over a "longer and wider" area of the bike.

And i think (from observation) that extra weight and height gives Marquez the "freedom" (for lack of better term) to manhandle the bike - and that's maybe part of why they have different riding styles - Dani being smoother than a surgeon! Lol

...maybe next year when they are back at lusail circuit I'll ask dani what's his opinion about adding 10kg ballast! 😆😆😆😆

I've seen dani in person he's really short, i am 5'5" and i felt like a giant next to him... Marquez is taller and has more build to him, and Rossi is slightly taller than Marquez.

the problem lately with Dani is that he's not heavy enough to put weight on the rear tyre to get it to generate heat, and for Michelin this is very crucial, since the carcass they made is super weight and temperature sensitive...

however, Dani's size and weight are no measure to the size of his balls and talent... if he were in Moto2 he'd be kicking ass all the time.

now you guys mentioned Petrucci being big... have you seen Loris Baz... i think he could've easily been a basketball player!

I will try!  Thank you

3D model ? Sure ! A lot of mod come from Ride 2. Sound ? Naaaahh I don't think so. Sounds in Ride 2 are very good and it is really hard to make a good sound mod for GPB.

Is there a tutorial or 101 how to for dummies? I can simply take the 3d model from ride 2 and i use the sound from the ones available for GPB - there are some pretty good sounds for GBP... @some moders are doing a great job and honestly this game would be kick ass without the small bugs in it!

I've done some "hex editing" to a few games before using the .mix extractor and compiler; is it the same for this (extract the 3d model data for the bike i want and place it in files with extension that runs on GBP?

Nice idea, but I would also add that if you could change the riders weight then it will have a min-weight limit you can change to otherwise you'll get riders entering something silly like "1lb/1KG" and likely gaining a big power to weight ratio advantage?

Yes minimum weight with height parameter... but keep in mind short riders with a feather weight have a disadvantage in motogp or should i say on big liter bikes - one person would come to mind Dany Pedrosa, the guy's got talents and balls the size of Jupiter but his weight is a disadvantage.

So yeah if Piboso would like to keep it real that would be an awesome feature!

Would be great to add a feature to set our balls weight and size. The bigger it is, the more lean and late brake you can take ^^

J.K.

Lol

I have not seen a parameter that let's me specify my rider's weight which would directly affect the suspension setup!

It would be great if each one could set their rider's weight and have a more realistic approach to bike suspension setup!
