VSM IndyCar 2020 Physics/Sounds Overhaul - VSM's IndyCar 2020 mod with more refined physics and sounds

Hello, good evening, lads. Today i bring you guys a overhaul from VSM's 2020 IndyCar Series mod. As the title suggests, i have modified the physics in such a way its experience is a little bit more refined. But first, the credits goes to:

- VSM, for the original mod;
- OSR team, as i used and modified some of its resources from their own IndyCar mod for this one, namely the gears (at first i tried to do a full port, but it didn't work as i expected, so yeah)

That said it is...

Buzzardo updated VSM IndyCar 2020 Physics/Sounds Overhaul with a new update entry:

1.4a

- Updated traction control levels, now low TC ain't as overpowered as it was before;
- Tweaked Inertia figures, now it creates a more intuitive and "organic" experience;
- Tweaked tyre grip over wear, so it doesn't feel as durable over the course of a stint

Buzzardo updated VSM IndyCar 2020 Physics/Sounds Overhaul with a new update entry:

2.0a

- COMPLETELY tweaked engine parameters;
- revamped drag values, to compensate for the said engine tweaks;
- Added "Indianapolis" tyre - similar levels of grip as of Speedway tyres, but greater friction heating;
- Optimized baseline setup, especially for Speedway and Superspeedway kits;
- Added "Talent" folder so it is possible to run AI accordingly;
- Tweaked the onboard cameras (default button 'Home' ones);

Buzzardo updated VSM IndyCar 2020 Physics/Sounds Overhaul with a new update entry:

2.1a

- Updated grip on the Road Course tyres: now they have comparable grip to the other sets;
- Updated grip on Speedway and Indy 500 tyres: now the front tyres have more grip, closer to the rear's values
- Tweaked baseline setup on all kits:
- Slightly longer first gear on all kits
- Optimized gearing so now the car has less of a "bog-down" effect
- Lowered overall downforce for Road Course kit

What parameters are you playing with in the HDV and ini files? I had a drive in the mod other day, the cars still feel like they have wooden wheels and behave quite strangely.

 

[Buzzardo]

I am going for the real life specifications and a bit of trial and error to get the desired result, but as for the tyres i may be able to do something about it. Can you please be more specific about "behaving strangely"?

 

[Buzzardo]

Buzzardo updated VSM IndyCar 2020 Physics/Sounds Overhaul with a new update entry:

2.2a

- Tweaked engine parameters - now the car has a little more grunt at mid range;
- Adjusted tyre spring rates - they shouldn't feel somewhat "rock hard" anymore;
- Updated vehicle's drafting parameters - now side-drafting isn't as big of a thing

The cars seem to slide and bog down a bit. I'll have another test over the next few days, what sections of the HDV file are you changing/editing? Which bits of the tbc files are you editing?

 

[Buzzardo]

I am editing pretty much all parameters available, by now mostly the engine's torque range and the tyres' spring values, please try the latest update because it seems that i fixed both issues

The FFB seems to have extreme vibrations on my G920, no matter what speed I'm going at it feels like I'm shaking my desk apart.

 

[Buzzardo]

Alright, i'll see what i can do, although i can't test myself any FFB as i only have M & K

 

[Buzzardo]

Buzzardo updated VSM IndyCar 2020 Physics/Sounds Overhaul with a new update entry:

3.0a

- Adjusted engine parameters (yet again): now the car have value closer to declared output;
- Optimized force feedback values;
- Adjusted Tyre grips across the compounds;
- Adjusted Road Course tyre heating values;
- Tweaked Onboard camera positioning

Alright, i'll see what i can do, although i can't test myself any FFB as i only have M & K

That might be the reason why the physics feel a bit strange, are you testing/driving using mouse and keyboard?

 

[Buzzardo]

Correct, but i am also using feedback from people that have other hardware.

 

[Buzzardo]

By the way, i dropped an update that fixes both FFB problems and bogging down issues the car have, if you can please consider test it out i would be delighted

Buzzardo updated VSM IndyCar 2020 Physics/Sounds Overhaul with a new update entry:

4.0f - Final Update! (for now)

- Reworked engine parameters to declared output at kit-specific values;
- Rebalanced chassis parameters, so now the car have more closely relatable top speed and downforce values for each kit;
- Updated baseline setups to make up for the modifications;
-Reworked tyre parameters.
