    With the help of jonrarit (thanks!), an updated version (v1.03) is now on steam with more frontward possibility for the seat position.
    Engine sounds are louder based on your early feedbacks.

    FFB clipping under high speed corner is under investigation, sorry guys as you'll have to wait a little for that fix... ;)

    I would like to be more positive than in my last post. As far as the sounds are concerned, apart from the engine sound level being too low in cockpit view, the rest is excellent, especially the tyres. The differentiation between dry and wet track is excellent, as well as the wheel locking noises (in short everything that S397 doesn't know or more exactly doesn't want to do...).
    Graphically, apart from the reported problem, it is a real success. Everything that doesn't work properly is not your fault but S397's that still didn't manage to make the artificial lights of the headlights with a real rendering.
    For the physics, I don't have much to say apart from the fact that they are quite credible, only the very oversteer character of the cars might have been diminished by another basic setup.

    May i ask if you use the default sound settings?
    For me, the sounds are loud enough.

    I'm using the sound script written by Doddynco in which the sound level is relatively low (37). I raise this level to 50 and think it's a good level.

    Awesome cars, thanks for didicating yourself for this awesome conversion.

    I had some time to take this mod out to the track, I chose Jaguar for beginning. As expected it felt really strange at first, because I drove nothing like that for months and months. But soon it started getting familiar, and within few laps at VIR I was driving fast with that smile that happens when car feels right.

    However, there is obviously things to discuss. Mirror seemed a bit too high, driver eyes position a bit off, and FFB is very high for aero car like that without using DD wheel. But I quickly adjusted to all that except mirror, so it was pretty good.

    Handling is nice, but something feels disconnected, not sure what, and obviously I saw in replay that wheels are gliding above surface. Ok joking it is not because of that. But there is something about tire that seems like not giving much feel. Car felt overall easy and characteristic, but I quickly learned that it is easy to stall aero, and sometimes it seemed like front is unloading a bit, perhaps it is correct I don't know. Tire wear seemed a bit rapid, but perhaps that was also correct for that tire. Car provides feeling of being pretty light, I am interested and will go make little bit of reading about it. I was also impressed by stiffness of anti roll bars, they are quite strong, for what I suppose is a light car. Does aero cars need strong anti roll bars because of amount of G-forces ? That of course makes sense, but I also think about aerodynamic load that is probably as big as car weight with massive venturi and wing like that, and logically aerodynamic load will not get transfered as per weight transfer when cornering, so it is interesting subject to me.

    Yet to take it to Lime Rock

    I thought that it could be something like that, because the sound was ok for me.
    Sounds should always set up in that way, that they sound good with the default sound setting of the game, because that is what the majority of users normally use.
    If someone uses special scripts like you or whatever else, the sounds should not be adapted to that, in my opinion.

    Great video, thank you. Is it taken from a replay? Because the rear tyres of the Jag seems like floating in the air, it's a bit strange.

    You're also speaking of visual bug for the Jag, could you explain a bit? Or maybe you're talking about those rear tyres.

    Next roadmap in few days but I can already tell you that the FFB clipping issue will be solved in the coming days.

    I also noticed this phenomenon on the replays but also by following a Jaguar in cockpit view.

    All tires does that as .tbc wheel radius doesn't match real eadius from .tgm. There are more things to notice such as overkill of reflection on Lancia rims.

    Roadmap update - April 2020

    Hi folks, here are some news of the project.

    Today, we have made an update in steam (v1.1) which solve the FFB clipping issue. We've also made some changes to Lancia & Jaguar physics. (more understeering/less oversteering)

    [​IMG]
    Same setup, same multiplier (0.8). If someone recognize the track with this graph, he'll receive an insider news.



    Now that those cars are updated, we can switch back our efforts on new development. Our next conversion is a very special one for our team as it's the most awaited one for all of us. So, be sure that the job will be done with a lot of involvement. Porsche 930 is our next target!


    [​IMG]


    But back in those rf1 days, Porsche 930 wasn't alone if you remember well. So yes, you can expect both Porsche 934 & 934/5 to be in the same package.

    As you can see, the graphical conversion is already done. Wipers still have to be animated by Bernd & physics are still in early stage development. No release date for now but we hope something for you somewhere in summer.

    Whenever there is this shape, I get very interested, must be kool car.

    And that FFB puzzle is great, perhaps some day someone will solve it. I tthink that it is some american track, they have those with very intensive chicane like high speed sections, like at Road Atlanta, or VIR. But that last long turn is very confusing.

    Hint: it's only the first 50" of the track.

    Damn, I was trying to figure it out right now and you just made it even harder.
