Help !!! How to rise a car from the ground

[josepmaria]

Hi friends

I've always liked the Alfa TZ2, I have this car in my AC, it runs more or less well, but when I race against others or watching replays I see that it's much too low for a car of that period !!!

I'd like to rise it a few cm. (without touching the physics, only optically) Which file must I edit to do this?

Thanks a lot boys

Try to edit suspension file:


TYPE=DWB
BASEY=-0.1580 ; Distance of CG from the center of the wheel in meters. Front Wheel Radius+BASEY=front CoG. Actual CG height =(FWR+FBasey)+(RWR+Rbasey))/CG_LOCATION%
TRACK=1.564 ; Track width in meters (from pivot 3D placement of the 3d model of a wheel)
ROD_LENGTH=0.100 ; push rod length in meters. positive raises ride height, negative lowers ride height.
HUB_MASS=70 ; masse sospese anteriori
RIM_OFFSET=0.040

I'm not sure anyway

Any changes you make to the suspension.ini file WILL affect the physics.

Thanks a lot boys

go in the data folder, open the car.ini file, you will see:
[BASIC]
GRAPHICS_OFFSET=0,-0.26,-0.1 ; 3 axis correction (x,y,z), applies only to the 3D object of the car (meters)
the second number will raise or lower the car body in relation to the wheels without affecting the physic of the car.

 

[Brandon Wright]

Like this? (skip to 0:27)

 

[Barracuda4Surf]

And it's in meters. So to rise the car for e.g. (optically) 4cm you have change the value (frome the quote above) from -0.26 to -0.22.

 

[josepmaria]

Thanks friends , that was easy ... some cms up and voilà !!!

Much better now ...

 

[aphidgod]

Needs a couple more IMO.

 

[garyjpaterson]

Needs a couple more IMO.

For the rear at least.

What car is this anyway, I'm not familiar with it? Edit* I can't read, Alfa TZ2...

 

[josepmaria]

Yes, I think that also, but then the fron rises too much ...
About the car ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfa_Romeo_Giulia_TZ#Giulia_TZ2
Mine comes from ... ***********

How do you rise only the rear ???

 

[Cote Dazur]

How do you rise only the rear ???

Data/car.ini/GRAPHICS_PITCH_ROTATION=0.15 ; changes 3D object rotation

Since that by trying to raise the rear you will lower the front as the 3d object will pivot, you might have to raise the whole 3D object again, but you know the drill now.

Thanks Cote d'Azur, is much better now !!!

Finally I use this
[BASIC]
GRAPHICS_OFFSET=0,-0.210,-0.685
GRAPHICS_PITCH_ROTATION=-0.40

Did you model this?? It looks lovely, though could look better with some shader tweaks and AO.

Unfortunately no, I don't know how to do that ... as I said before, I got that car from ***********,
lots of interesting cars there (you must register)

for instance ... (sorry, I like classics ...)

thank you too guys ^-^

this does not work

 

[Cote Dazur]

It works, you are probably using the data.acd instead of the data folder, that is a common mistake.

 

[joaoNfsMw]

I have a problem similar to this one, but mine is that the wheels are a little forward on both axles. Not much, but a little bit

 

[aphidgod]

To fix that you need to adjust the graphical offset coordinates in car.ini.
