Skoda 130 RS - Czechoslovak legend is back...

"The legend", "Porsche of the East", and "Dream car of our fathers" are just a few nicknames of this amazing piece of art on wheels. Everyone from former Czechoslovakia knows about this car. Designed in 1975 and created with the help of modern technologies like IBM computer, it won numerous events like the famous Rally Monte Carlo in its category. Awesome...

I see you guys made the rear trailing arm using STRUT. If it's really a trailing arm and doesn't actually behave like a strut in that geometry, I'd suggest you use DWB and graph the camber and toe curve properly, then lower the assembly to reach the real roll center, adjust for anti-forces in AC then try to match curves/whatever you deem important.

But if it's really a normal (semi) trailing and you did it like this, I guess it's cute.

Fun car to drive, but, the autoshift needs fixing. To do so, open drivetrain.ini and delete the autoshift values.

to use autoshift is a blasphemy on this kind of car

but sure we will check it out

I can't figure out why the ai won't complete an upshift on this one. Tried all of my normal fixes to no avail. Anyone?

would you please send me a little more detailed description of the issue to PM? I am interested mostly in session and assistants settings...

Could be down to what I mentioned, delete the autoshift values from drivetrain.ini and see how you go.

It was created just for fun for our local hillclimb championship and we didn't have much data to work with so it is not exactly accurate and its origin would be probably questioned here, I have no idea who is the original author and someone here could be offended.

Oops! My fault. I changed the ai downshift value to 1080. Should have left it at 80. First time that has caused a problem! Lesson learned. I did change the limiter to 8500 and ai upshift value to 7500 successfully. Works good!

Didn't work. Thanks, though! Didn't know you could just delete those.

Pity, yeah, you just have to open them in notepad. Also, if CM flags up a syntax error, you can fix those by opening the files in notepad++.

By the way, the rear view mirror is backwards...

what is rear view mirror? you mean the mirror in the cockpit?

Fuzo · May 10, 2019

BTW @axeracing the downshift value in AI settings is in % not a exact value, 80 means 80% of upshift value. I am glad that you fixed your problem by editing our files but now when I will post an update it can happen again because what I did is what @Rogerbee sugested and it is working as it should. I am sorry that our mods have this kind of issues, but honestly, there is no one in our team or community who is using something "auto" to drive virtual car. Factory settings, "H" shifters, clutches... But we will focus more to this kind of issues in the future, I promise

Did you test the car in Ctrl-C mode? You should always do that

sure, I did it as the last thing before release and there were no problems with AI or shifting at all.

Yes. The left side of the mirror shows the right side of the track, and vice versa. When a car comes up to pass on the left, he goes by on the right!

Actually, i was having problems with the ai not shifting. It happens with many mods. I have been learning how to fix these problems little by little. Usually changing the limiter and shift points fixes it. Now i learned something new about the ai downshift value. Thanks!

Great car, by the way. Love it!
