Plans

Ideas

  • File Downloads Hosting
    • If you already pay for a cloud drive, like Google Drive, Office 365, Proton Drive, Dropbox, Mediafire, or Mega, just use that if you're an individual modder. They're unlikely to completely cancel a paying customer even if they realize you're using it for download sharing.
    • We all use free Mediafire or Mega cloud drives to distribute our mods
      • That tends to work fine because each person has their own account and for each modder there's a limited audience so not too much of a risk of going over the transfer limit (but I've seen it happen)
      • You can pay $6-12/month to Mediafire or Mega and get more space and more transfer limit
      • But it still leaves the problem that Mediafire and Mega aren't really intended to be used for downloads the way we use them
    • Shared Web Hosting is one cheap option, if you're willing to pay, as you can use the webspace for downloads instead of a website
      • Often very cheap pricing and generous storage and traffic limits
      • Pay hosting often says "unlimited" storage and traffic but it's usually always limited in some way in the terms
      • But it's still often quite a bit of space and transfer, ready to go for HTTPS downloads, and cheap
      • IONOS Web Hosting Offers "unlimited" storage and traffic. Not very intuitive but once you get ftp setup and understand your web address it's easy.
      • Inmotion Hosting Offers "unlimited" storage and traffic, too. I've used Inmotion before for dedicated servers and they were fine.
      • DreamHost Shared Unlimited plan is cheap and has "unlimited" storage and traffic
      • Popular but not unlimited:
      • Tom's Guide - The best unlimited web hosting in 2024 - Find articles like this for the latest best deals
      • Gotchas
        • Limits in Terms
          • Search Terms for "limits", "transfer", "traffic", "visits", "inodes" to find our what their limits really are
        • Web hosts often limit storage by limiting "inodes"
          • You can still host a tonne of files, like tens of thousands, maybe a hundred thousand, maybe 600,000 (as limited on Hostinger's Business Plan), but it's something to be aware of.
          • Beware web hosting "apps" you can install. I installed MediaWiki at IONOS and it took up a huge portion of my inodes limit

Scratched:

  • Ambient and track temperatures do not go down overnight: Can I modify the weather file to make that work?
    • Weather files are simply a progression of minutes without regard to time of day. It would require a higher-level change that would be able to look at what time-of-day the user chose in-game and then selecting from a file that starts-at-that-hour. It's possible but pretty involved.

Arcade Mode
- Changes mirrors to virtual rearview mirror only
- ...???
- Is this for controllers and gamepads?
- "Arcade mode- with individual physics to suit every game fan."
  - "In addition to the most accurate racing simulation on the planet, GTR has a completely separate Arcade mode for those gamers who love to throw the car around with wild abandon. The arcade mode is all about fun with thumping music and forgiving handling - a perfect introduction to real racing for the average gamer."
