PTMu 1.79 – physics mod for Shift 2 : Unleashed

What is PTMu?
(Polish Tyre Mod)u v1.79 is a physics modification for SHIFT 2:Unleashed. It’s aimed to turn this game into simulation (or at least a decent simcade) by putting as much realistic data as possible into the physics engine. PTMu is meant to be used with FFB steering wheel, preferably one that has 900 degrees of rotation but it’s also fine with x360 gamepad. Mod is compatible with normal (packed) and Unofficial Community Patch installed (unpacked) versions of the game.

What’s new in PTMu 1.79:

  • Adjusted dampers,
  • Adjusted AI levels for Base and Hard AI versions,
  • Fixed automatic transmissions bug,
  • Completely new settings for gamepads (no more need of PTMuArcade – base version of PTMu is now playable with regular x360 gamepad like Forza/Gran Turismo games),
  • More powerful handbrakes

PTMu v1.75 Preview

Two vids from newest version of PTMu. Both made with G25 @ 900 degrees of rotation. Release of v1.75 is “soonish”. We still have a lot of work to do. So in the meantime check those two test runs. Unfortunately I run S2U on my Amiga so framerate is kind of.. dodgy. Pardon for that.
