    I'm really surprised everyone on the forum isn't jumping on this, especially the people like durge who like the historics.

    This is actually really well done especially for an alpha/beta. The sounds are great and the physics are very fun. I hotlapped with a buddy at bathurst for probably 4 hours straight

    Only real "complaint" is that the windshield is quite dim, it lowers the brightness of a sunshine track to overcast. The windshield on the actual car is quite clear (when clean :p). And you're right lestrat, the real life car doesn't have particularly good/wide visibility, so I think that's pretty good so far

    Do you need dimensions and measurements or actual rates? Like spring rate, roll bar rate etc? If you give a well defined list I can get it to their engineer

    Thank you very much for your feedback.

    I will try to sort out the windshield issue and upload a new versiĆ³n today.

    Regarding the measurements, the list of rates that I would need is:
    - Spring rate, both front and rear.
    - Roll bar rates, both front and rear. Adjustable?
    - Shock absorber rates in slow bump, slow rebound, fast bump and fast rebound.
    - Caster (min and max degrees it can be set)

    I guess that, by now, those are all my needs :)

    If anyone can get in touch with chargingcar over at Assetto Corsa forum, maybe there's a chance. The guy is talented and may be able to step in.

    Howdy,

    Is this a valid download location? When I try to download, I get this message; "Cannot decrypt metadata without key."

    I would love to have these cars on the F3 Fanatics' server.

    Thanks for your work.

    Bryan

    I have not been able yet to solve the windshiel issue.

    I'm going for vacation a couple of weeks but will solve it when I'm back.

    Thanks for your help mate.

    hope you're having a good vacation! When you return, there seems to be a very strange bug in the windshield with the new rfactor build, After updating the build, this is what I get when I try to drive the car anywhere - sucks because this is currently my favorite car to drive :) . Also seeing my friend this weekend in person and I'm speaking to him about the car data

    That's a weird issue.

    Next monday I will be back home and will be able to work on the mod. I have been thinking about the windshield and I guess I know how to solve the (former) issue.
