Total physics rehaul, part 2 (work in progress). Compared to the Sierra this drives on rails:
As a 3D noob, I'm happy that I managed to shrink the tyres of the original to a proper size.
Sick. I've spent a few years working on GT-R's in sims. Lots of measurements and countless hours scouring through documents and speaking to owners and whatnot for anecdote and data. You got yourself into a real rabbit hole now. Probably took me at least a few hundred man hours to sort out the electric systems.
After the R33 I'm involved with releases, I could share my ATTESA and HICAS simulation with you, if you want. They're really very realistic, and although it remains a mystery what *exactly* they did to the ATTESA in the Group A or N1 cars, it can be roughly worked out if you figure everything else out. The TAISAN STP R32 is one I've always wanted to make, given how much we know about the specs. Maybe, some day...
In the meanwhile, taking a break from the R33, I've been making some AE86's for private use. I was convinced I could do it right, because the ones offered are just no good sadly. The axle in AC is a bit buggy, but I've found probably the ideal solution that doesn't deviate from the real measurements too much.
I remembered the great N2 AE86 mod in rFactor, and wanting some in AC, I just went and did it myself...
3D has nothing at all to do with me and some random thing I found on the net, but the physics are 100% completely by me, barring AI and autoshifter. ;D
TRD especially is pretty gracious in what data they provide, so there's lots to work with.
If someone wants to start modelling some AE86's in stock and various other spec, I have essentially completed physics ready, and soon for this N2 car as well...
