Oh, I was interested in that car but hadn't realised you did the physics....Miker Formula Junior
Thanks for the explanation. It's really interesting to me as I spend so much time race simming and wondering about physics, its most important element.The Mustangs should be getting an update in the not-too-distant future, and then they'll be a lot better.
The data available varies from project to project - on one end of the spectrum I have my WRX, which I own IRL and can measure/test/datalog any time. On the other end is the S800 RSC, where the only thing we really knew was that it did in fact exist. The Mustang was more like the Subaru, I had good data for most parts of the car, including some requested measurements, and two test drivers with RL experience on road and track to help with the 'feels.' @arthur666 @ronniej
With cars like the ones in the NFS pack, it comes down to one part listening to what the data tells you the car should feel like, and one part reading between the lines in reviews, road tests, and while watching videos to get an idea of the quirks and subtleties and how they might manifest in light of what's known about the mechanicals. Not too many Diablo owners kicking around the forums for testing, I'm afraid, so there's certain amount of (informed) guesswork involved.
If you look at the components that that car was made of, you just think that it can't work, FWD drivetrain, leafsprings, 3 cylinder 2-stroke. The local museum to my knowledge has one but its not on display but in storage somewhere, or on lend.Yeah, that Formula Jr. car is a real oddball. I never expected it to be any good, honestly, but when it started to come together I was pretty surprised. I think everybody involved was too. It's fantastic.
aphidgod is a wizard...Period.Oh, I was interested in that car but hadn't realised you did the physics....
... so, I just bought it. I couldn't resist. I'm very confident it'll be great.
I tried out the Laguna Seca Mustangs last night. Both of them are just ridiculously good. Perfect! Bedtime was delayed because I was enjoying the driving so much
I am interested: how do you know how to do the physics? You have data? How do you get the feel just right?
I don't know why, but I always imagined you to be heavier than an empty bathtub
I like the RX7 too. Use it a lot. I'll give the old Huayra another go as I haven't tried it much.My favorite car is usually the one I'm working on at the moment.
I enjoy a lot of Kunos' cars. The historic cars are pretty great across the board. Big fan of the RX7. I like the old Huayra a lot. I can't drive the Group C cars to save my life, but I do love them.
