A partly remade version of the model, mostly optimized for i hope better performance. (less objects, better LODs, some materials improved etc.)
Thanks to the few beta testers
Physics are the same than before.
There might be some tweaks to make it 2.0 but otherwise it's 99% final and approved by several real life Academy racers
LHD is LOST in translation i'm afraid. Due to, too much work for not much.
But... it's a new car folder, you may remove the old one. Or collect them all like pokemons.
The skin template is changed as i improved the mapping (template in PSD in _tool folder in the archive)

420R to follow this week.
NB: and probably hotfix to fix mistakes too
I'm not happy with how the rear 'Academy' sticker works (or doesn't) at the moment, so might change few dds in near future
- ONLINE COMPATIBLE with previous version -
so no worries if the server still runs the Academy 0.93
it's just a visual update.
Just a quick tweak on the material of the body paint. (will look the same as the 420R)
and matching said paint between LODs, as well as LHD / RHD
(one more skin bonus, meanwhile i sort all of the season 2020, should upload them soonish here : https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/caterham-academy-2017-skins.20545/ )
No plan on editing the physics.
For a start, all the actual racing drivers didn't complain about it
And then, I still don't have the Max files anymore to update anything easily anyways
So why isn't it 1.0 then ?? I wouldn't know anymore...
- physic is untouched
- less objects! in all the LOD (pain to do ...) - for hopefully better performance
- momo on the steering is now part of the mesh, preventing from clipping from distance and on large tracks
- same clipping issue solved with rear fog light
- dash_cam fixed for LHD
- flying steering should be gone as well (dummy place was wrong)
- & don't forget the skins https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/caterham-academy-2017-skins.20545/

- changed previews of the car using : http://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/retrolux-previews.19329/
@Retrolux did a great job! Let's enjoy it, cars are looking far less plastic! (ironic for a caterham i know XD)
You can revert it using Content Manager if you don't like it.- KNOW ISSUE : that damn right flexible brake animation is broken, and it's driving me nuts, so be it, it will stay as is.
- no update on physics yet, hence version 0.9
EDIT: i forgot the parent/child UI thing XD next update...
- sound switched to the Abarth Assetto Corse (previous was street version and was giving issues)
- oil pressure & water temp gauge fixed
- couple more skins
